APPENDIX G: Send va e: Assessor's Memo: 211 Copy of $oeale / Variance to Planning M Ordinance No: Adopted: Tait & Associates, proposed Negative Declaration with mitigation measures regarding environmental impacts and Use Permit to modify an existing communication equipment facility by replacing a 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank with a 1,000 gallon above ground tank. The fuel tank is used as a source of diesel fuel for the generator in case of a power failure. The proposed fuel tank would be located on the north side of the building and placed on top of a concrete foundation. The property is located on the south side of Rachel Drive, approximately 200 feet east of Heritage Road, in the Kelly Ridge Area, east of Oroville. APN 069-590-008 (MM) (UP 04-02) Mr. Michelena gave a brief summary of the project. Mr. Wannenmacher noted a correction to Mitigation Measure 1 changing "generator" to "fuel tank" under timing. . Commissioner Lambert asked why change from an underground tank to an above ground tank. The hearing was opened to the public. Tim Page noted some inconsistencies with the report. Page 2, the second bullet should not reference a parcel map, the third bullet is associated with a map and should be deleted as should bullet 6. Page 3, I C, delete tentative parcel map reference. Page 5, 11. Conditions change to fuel tank under the time in the Mitigation Measure, Page 6, conditions, he said the building division has already approved this project and the Fire Department has already approved this project, as has Environmental Health, pending notification of the contractor. Page 7 regarding Condition 8 that the HMRRP can not be prepared until the project is complete. Page 7 regarding Condition 9 is not applicable to the plan to this project because this tank is 1,000 gallons and the SPCC Plan is only required if the size of the tank exceeds 1,320 gallons. He said he did not want to be held to conditions that have already been satisfied and he did not want to be held to conditions from the Health Department if they do not apply to his project. Mr. Michelena said the conditions under the Building Division were submitted by the Building Manager and are standard conditions. Mr. Page said they have satisfied the building conditions. Chairman Leland said that Conditions 5, 6, and 7 will be left in even though they have been satisfied. Mr. Page said that Condition 8 can not be done until after constructiodis complete. Mr. Fogel suggested adding "when required by statute." Mr. Page said on Condition 9 the plan is only needed if the tank exceeds 1,320 gallons and this tank is only 1,000 gallons. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ MINUTES JANUARY 8, 2004 ■ PAGE 6 ■ Mr. Fogel added to the condition "if the size of the tank requires the issuance of the plan." Mr. Page said, in answer to Commissioner Lambert's earlier question that a number of organizations are going with above ground tanks because of the changing regulations for underground tanks. He agreed to the mitigation measures. The hearing was closed. It was moved by Commissioner Evans, seconded by Commissioner Mann, and unanimously carried to approve the Use Permit for Tait and Associates subject to the findings and conditions listed below; changing Condition 1 under "Timing:" from "generator" to "fuel tank"; add to the end of Condition 8 "when required by Statute."; and add to the end of Condition 9 "if the size of the tank requires the issuance of the Plan." I. Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Said study identified significant environmental effects and included mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels; a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. B. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the review process. C. On the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, there is no substantial evidence that the Use Permit for Tait and Associates, Planning Division File No. UP 04-02, would have a significant effect on the environment. D. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the County, which is the Lead Agency. E. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts, with Mitigation Measure #1 as detailed in the Agenda Report dated January 8, 2004. II. Adopt a "de minimis" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and 14 CCR 753.5 is not required. The project site is not known to contain any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The project will not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat; have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; conflict with any local policies or ordinances ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ MINUTES ■ JANUARY 8, 2004 ■ PAGE 7 ■ protecting biological resources; or conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan. III. Approve Use Permit 04-02, for Tait & Associates, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit "A" and the following findings: A. The Butte County General Plan Land Use Element designates the property as "Commercial." The current zoning of the site is C-2 and is consistent with the General Plan land use designation. B. The design and improvements of the proposed use are consistent with County standards and policies provided all conditions of project approval are complied with. C. The design and improvements of the project would not cause public health or safety problems due to the large parcel sizes, and because the project site does not contain any physical characteristics that could cause health or safety concerns. D. The design and improvements of the project would not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. E. Approval of this project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare provided the required conditions and mitigation measures are complied with.

Applicant/Owner: Tait & Associates/SBC B. Staff Contact: Mark Michelena, Associate Planner (530) 538-7376 C. Proiect Name: N/A D. Prosect Location: On the south side of Rachel Drive, approximately 200 feet east of Heritage Road, in the Kelly Ridge Area, east of Oroville. E. Type of Application: Use Permit F. Assessor's Parcel Number: 069-590-008 G. Proiect Site Size: 0.84 acres (+/-) H. Current Zoning: C-2 (General Commercial) I. General Plan Designation: Commercial J. Environmental Setting: The project site is owned by SBC and is developed with a 1,500 square foot building that contains telephone switching equipment. The project site is gently rolling foothill woodland grassland terrain. Several oaks exist throughout the area. The site consists of 5 to 15% slopes, generally sloping to the east. No surface water bodies exist on-site. The soil is poor, classified as rough broken and stony land consisting of very thin surface soil underlain by fractured bedrock. The site is not located within a 100 -year flood zone or an airport land use compatibility zone. The existing communication equipment facility was permitted with Use Permit 79-26, which was approved in 1979. r K Surrounding Land Uses: The project site is surrounded by open space. To the north, across Rachel Drive the street is a business and storage yard. The closest existing single family residential parcel is located approximately 400 feet to the northwest. There are townhomes located approximately 800 feet to the east. Surrounding zoning includes General Commercial, Suburban Residential, Residential (R-4), and a PUD. Butte County General Plan designations include Commercial and Low Density Residential. Parcels sizes range from 0.5 to over 77 acres. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division o Page 1 ■ N Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Associates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 L. Project Description: The applicant is requesting a Use Permit to modify an existing communication equipment facility by replacing a 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank with a 1,000 gallon above ground tank. The fuel tank is used as a source of diesel fuel for the generator in case of a power failure. The proposed fuel tank would be located on the north side of the building and placed on top of a concrete foundation. M. Public Agency Approvals: Butte County Planning Division, Butte County Building Division, Butte County Fire Department. 2.0 DETERMINATION [ ] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [X] I find that although the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, there will NOT be a significant effect in this case because revisions have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable fegal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. [ ] 4.1 AestheticsNisual Resources [ ] 4.2 Agriculture Resources [ ] 4.3 Air Quality [ ] 4.4 Biological Resources [X] 4.5 Cultural Resources [ ] 4.6 Geologic Processes [ ] 4.7 Hazards/Hazardous Material [ ] 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality [ ] 4.9 Land Use [ ] 4.10 Mineral Resources [ ] 4.11 Noise [ ] 4.12 Housing [ J 4.13 Public Services [ ] 4.14 Recreation [ ] 4.15 Transportation/Traffic [ ] 4.16 Utilities/Service Systems [X] 4.17 Mandatory Findings of Significance B. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based- on asedon a project -specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has .determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, `Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) "Reviewed Under Previous Document." Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division u Page 3 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait& Associates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," . describe the mitigation measures . which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead .agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 4.1 AESTHETIC/VISUAL RESOURCES: ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 4 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: p P Significant with significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division n Page 6 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Associates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 Impact Discussion: Both the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency have established air pollution standards in an effort to protect human health and welfare. Geographic areas are designated "attainment" if these standards are met and "nonattainment" if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10).. Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. Additional soil excavation may be required, which could create minor amounts of fugitive. These dust emissions are not expected to be significant due to the limited amount of soil disturbance necessary for the concrete pad. The Butte County Air Quality Management District reviewed this project and stated that a District Authority to construct permit will not be required. The project would be conditioned to require that the permit be obtained prior to issuance of building permits. Mitigation Measure: None required.

Cultural resources consist of any human -made site, object (i.e., artifact), or feature that defines and illuminates our past. Prehistoric resources sites are found in foothill areas, areas with high bluffs, rock outcroppings, areas overlooking deer migratory corridors, or above bodies of water. The project site does not contain arty of these characteristics. No cultural resources structures or sites of any type are known to be located on the subject site. The area where the proposed fuel tank shall be placed is an area that is relatively flat and only minimal amount of grading will be required in preparation for installation of the concrete foundation that the fuel tank would be placed on. Even though the location of the site away from known historic/prehistoric sites and only a very little soil disturbance would occur, there is still the potential for uncovering or otherwise disturbing cultural resources as a result of project - related activities, therefore a mitigation measure is included to address this issue. Mitigation Measure # 2: Should grading activities reveal the presence of cultural resources (i.e., artifact concentrations, including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans, glass, etc.; structural remains; human skeletal remains), work within 50 feet of.the find shall cease immediately until a qualified professional archaeologist can be consulted to evaluate the remains and implement appropriate mitigation procedures. Should human skeletal remains be encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner. Should the County Coroner determine that such remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State law, to arrange for Native American participation in determining the disposition of such remains. Plan Requirements: The condition shall be placed on the Use Permit. All requirements shall be shown on building plans. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 9 ■ Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant with Significant No Under Impact Mitigation Impact Impact p Previous Document Incorporated a.

Mitigation Measure # 2: Should grading activities reveal the presence of cultural resources (i.e., artifact concentrations, including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans, glass, etc.; structural remains; human skeletal remains), work within 50 feet of.the find shall cease immediately until a qualified professional archaeologist can be consulted to evaluate the remains and implement appropriate mitigation procedures. Should human skeletal remains be encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner. Should the County Coroner determine that such remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State law, to arrange for Native American participation in determining the disposition of such remains. Plan Requirements: The condition shall be placed on the Use Permit. All requirements shall be shown on building plans. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 9 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Associates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 Timing: This measure shall be implemented during site preparation and construction. Monitoring: Should cultural resources be discovered, the Planning Division shall coordinate with the developer and appropriate authorities to avoid damage to cultural resources and determine appropriate action. 4.6 GEOLOGIC PROCESSES: Impact Discussion: The Seismic Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone or an aftershock zone. The project site is not located near any know earthquake fault. The only known active fault in Butte County is the Cleveland Hill fault, located approximately 1.3 miles southeast of the project site, where activity on August 1, 1975 resulted in the Oroville earthquake. This earthquake had a Richter magnitude of 5.7 and resulted in approximately 2.2 miles of ground rupture along the western flank of Cleveland, Hill. No impacts are anticipated since no rupture of a known active earthquake fault exists in the project ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 10 ■ Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than No Reviewed Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

No impacts are anticipated since no rupture of a known active earthquake fault exists in the project ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 10 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Associates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 area. There is a concealed portion of the same Cleveland Hill Fault, with activity not classified approximated 2,000 feet to the east. Like most of central California, the site can be expected to be subjected to seismic ground shaking at some future time. Accordingly, the proposed fuel storage tank would be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code requirements. Because the project appears to be located such that the probability of significant groundshaking is low and the project will be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code standards for the appropriate Seismic Hazard Zone, potential geologic impacts would be less than significant. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a generally low potential for liquefaction. The impact would be less than significant. The Subsidence and Landslide Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that there is a low to moderate potential for landslides in this area. The project site and the surrounding parcels do not contain any slopes that would be at risk of a landslide. There is high soil erosion potential for the project site, according to Butte County General Plan GIS data. The project does not involve any significant amounts of soil disturbance that would result in soil erosion impacts. The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has a low expansive soil potential. The project would be required to comply wih applicable portions of the Uniform Building Code as adopted by Butte County, which would mitigate any potential impacts resulting from expansive soils. The project does not require the use of septic systems. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.7 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 11 ■ Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than No Reviewed Under Would the proposal: lI p Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

The current use of the site, a communication equipment facility, was approved with a Use Permit back in January 1979. The project would not divide any established community. The project site is located in an area zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and is developed with a building containing telephone communication equipment. An expansion or change of use of a Use Permit requires a modified or new use permit. The changing of an underground fuel tank to an above ground fuel tank is determined to be a change of use. For the approval of the Use Permit, the applicant is required to present information, including plans or other information, which is substantial enough to make an informed decision. The Planning Commission reviews the proposal and will grant a Use Permit if: "the proposed uses of property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and that the use would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and that the use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties or detrimental to the health and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood or the general health, welfare, and safety of the residents of the county" (Butte County Code, Section 24-45.10).

No surface water bodies exist on-site. The soil is poor, classified as rough broken and stony land consisting of very thin surface soil underlain by fractured bedrock. The site is not located within a 100 -year flood zone or an airport land use compatibility zone. The existing communication equipment facility was permitted with Use Permit 79-26, which was approved in 1979. K. Surrounding Land Uses: The project site is surrounded by open space. To the north, across Rachel Drive the street is a business and storage yard. The closest existing single family residential parcel is located approximately 400 feet to the northwest. There are townhomes located approximately 800 feet to the east. Surrounding zoning includes General Commercial, Suburban Residential, Residential (R-4), and a PUD. Butte County General Plan designations include Commercial and Low Density Residential. Parcels sizes range from 0.5 to over 77 acres. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 1 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Asates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 • L. Proiect Description: The applicant is requesting a Use Permit to modify an existing communication equipment facility by replacing a 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank with a 1,000 gallon above ground tank. The fuel tank is used as a source of diesel fuel for the generator in case of a power failure. The proposed fuel tank would be located on the north side of the building and placed on top of a concrete foundation. M.

[X] I find that although the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, there will NOT be a significant effect in this case because revisions have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. r Prepared by: Mork Michelena, Associate Planner Baker, Planning Manager Date lt 116 tO3 Date ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 2 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Asates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 3.0 POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS CHECKLIST SETTING A. Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact' as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. [ ] 4.1 AestheticsNisual Resources [ ] 4.2 Agriculture Resources [ ] 4.3 Air Quality [ ] 4.4 Biological Resources [X] 4.5 Cultural Resources [ ] 4.6 Geologic Processes [ ] 4.7 Hazards/Hazardous Material [ ] 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality [ ] 4.9 Land Use [ ] 4.10 Mineral Resources [ ] 4.11 Noise [ ] 4.12 Housing [ ] 4.13 Public Services [ ] 4.14 Recreation [ ] 4.15 Transportation/Traffic [ ] 4.16 Utilities/Service Systems [X] 4.17 Mandatory Findings of Significance B. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact' answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact' answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls -outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact' answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact' entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact' to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, `Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) "Reviewed Under Previous Document." Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 3 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait Aates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects. were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 4.1 AESTHETIC/VISUAL RESOURCES: ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 4 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: lI P Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 6 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Asiates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 Impact Discussion: Both the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency have established air pollution standards in an effort to protect human health and welfare. Geographic areas are designated "attainment" if these standards are met and "nonattainnrient" if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. Additional soil excavation may be required, which could create minor amounts of fugitive. These dust emissions are not expected to be significant due to the limited amount of soil disturbance necessary for the concrete pad. The Butte County Air Quality Management District reviewed this project and stated that a District Authority to construct permit will not be required. The project would be conditioned to require that the permit be obtained prior to issuance of building permits. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 7 ■ Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than No Reviewed Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

Cultural resources consist of any human -made site, object (i.e., artifact), or feature that defines and illuminates our past. Prehistoric resources sites are found in foothill areas, areas with high bluffs, rock outcroppings, areas overlooking deer migratory corridors, or above bodies of water. The project site does not contain any of these characteristics. No cultural resources structures or sites of any type are known to be located on the subject site. The area where the proposed fuel tank shall be placed is an area that is relatively flat and only minimal amount of grading will be required in preparation for installation of the concrete foundation that the fuel tank would be placed on. Even though the location of the site away from known historic/prehistoric sites and only a very little soil disturbance would occur, there is still the potential for uncovering or otherwise disturbing cultural resources as a result of project - related activities, therefore a mitigation measure is included to address this issue. Mitigation Measure # 2: Should grading activities reveal the presence of cultural resources (i.e., artifact concentrations, including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans, glass, etc.; structural remains; human skeletal remains), work within 50 feet of the find shall cease immediately until a qualified professional archaeologist can be consulted to evaluate the remains and implement appropriate mitigation procedures. Should human skeletal remains be encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner. Should the County Coroner determine that such remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State law, to arrange for Native American participation in determining the disposition of such remains. Plan Requirements: The condition shall be placed on the Use Permit. All requirements shall be shown on building plans. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 9 ■ Less Than Reviewed Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Significant with Less Than Significant No Under Impact Mitigation Impact Impact Previous Incorporated Document a.

The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone or an aftershock zone. The project site is not located near any know earthquake fault. The only known active fault in Butte County is the Cleveland Hill fault, located approximately 1.3 miles southeast of the project site, where activity on August 1, 1975 resulted in the Oroville earthquake. This earthquake had a Richter magnitude of 5.7 and resulted in approximately 2.2 miles of ground rupture along the western flank of Cleveland Hill. No impacts are anticipated since no rupture of a known active earthquake fault exists in the project ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 10 ■ Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than No Reviewed Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

No impacts are anticipated since no rupture of a known active earthquake fault exists in the project ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 10 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Tait & Associates (SBC), File # UP 04-02 area. There is a concealed portion of the same Cleveland Hill Fault, with activity not classified approximated 2,000 feet to the east. Like most of central California, the site can be expected to be subjected to seismic ground shaking at some future time. Accordingly, the proposed fuel storage tank would be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code requirements. Because the project appears to be located such that the probability of significant groundshaking is low and the project will be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code standards for the appropriate Seismic Hazard Zone, potential geologic impacts would be less than significant. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a generally low potential for liquefaction. The impact would be less than significant. The Subsidence and Landslide Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that there is a low to moderate potential for landslides in this area. The project site and the surrounding parcels do not contain any slopes that would be at risk of a landslide. There is high soil erosion potential for the project site, according to Butte County General Plan GIS data. The project does not involve any significant amounts of soil disturbance that would result in soil erosion impacts. The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has a low expansive soil potential. The project would be required to the Uniform Building Code as adopted by Butte County, impacts resulting from expansive soils. The project does not require the use of septic systems. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.7 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: comply with applicable portions of which would mitigate any potential ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ Page 11 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.9 LAND USE: Impact Discussion: The proposal would allow for the replacement of an underground 1,000 gallons fuel storage tank with an above ground 1,000 gallon fuel storage tank. The current use of the site, a communication equipment facility, was approved with a Use Permit back in January 1979. The project would not divide any established community. The project site is located in an area zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and is developed with a building containing telephone communication equipment. An expansion or change of use of a Use Permit requires a modified or new use permit. The changing of an underground fuel tank to an above ground fuel tank is determined to be a change of use. For the approval of the Use Permit, the applicant is required to present information, including plans or other information, which is substantial enough to make an informed decision. The Planning Commission reviews the proposal and will grant a Use Permit if. "the proposed uses of property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and that the use would not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and that the use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties or detrimental to the health and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood or the general health, welfare, and safety of the residents of the county" (Butte County Code, Section 24-45.10).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This project is a Use Permit to replace a 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank with an above ground 1,000 gallon fuel storage tank. The property is currently used to house the telephone communications equipment, switching and power equipment. The proposed use conforms to the General Plan and zoning requirements for the property and the project will meet all other County requirements provided the attached conditions are applied to the project. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SITE CHARACTERISTICS: • This subject property is located in an area of different uses including commercial, residential and open space. • There is a building with communications equipment on the site. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ TAIT & ASSOCIATES AGENDA REPORT ■ JANUARY 8, 2004 ■ PAGE 1 of 7 ■ • A Use Permit was approved on 1979 to allow the existing use and the underground fuel storage tank. • Adjacent uses include vacant land and commercial use. Nearby uses include residential. Parcel sizes range from 0.5 to over 77 acres. • The proposed use for the property is unchanged • The project site is flat and level with less than 2% slope. • No existing trees or native vegetation will be removed. ANALYSIS: • The project would result in an above ground 1,000 gallon fuel storage tank. • Both parcels have frontage on Aguas Frias Road, which is County -maintained. • The sizes of the proposed parcels are consistent with the A-40 zoning for the area which was adopted in 1975. • The Butte County Land Use diagram designates this property as Commercial • The C-2 zone is listed as a consistent zone with the Commercial Land Use designation. • Conformity with the Agricultural Element policies requires the imposition of a 300 -foot residential building setbacks and the collection of full development impact fees. • All of the proposed lots meet the lot size and width minimums and conform to all County standards. CEQA ISSUES /ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: • An initial study was performed for the project and a mitigated negative declaration is recommended. • The potentially significant impacts identified were for cultural resources. • A Mitigation measure has been incorporated into the project to address these concerns. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ TAIT & ASSOCIATES AGENDA REPORT ■ JANUARY 8, 2004 0 PAGE 2 of 7 0 V ACTION FOR CONSIDERATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: I. Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Said study identified significant environmental effects and included mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels; a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. B. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the review process. C. On the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, there is no substantial evidence that the Tentative Parcel Map for Lance Tennis, Planning Division File No. TPM 03-25, would have a significant effect on the environment. D. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the County, which is the Lead Agency. E. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts, with Mitigation Measure #1 as detailed in the Agenda Report dated January 8, 2004. II. Adopt a "de minimis" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and 14 CCR 753.5 is not required. The project site is not known to contain any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The project will not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat; have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources; or conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan. III. Approve Use Permit 03-25, for Tait & Associates, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit "A" and the following findings: A. The Butte County General Plan Land Use Element designates the property as "Commercial." The current zoning of the site is C-2 and is consistent with the General Plan land use designation. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ TAIT & ASSOCIATES AGENDA REPORT ■ JANUARY 8, 2004 ■ PAGE 3 of 7 ■ B. The design and improvements of the proposed use are consistent with County standards and policies provided all conditions of project approval are complied with. C. The design and improvements of the project would not cause public health or safety problems due to the large parcel sizes, and because the project site does not contain any physical characteristics that could cause health or safety concerns. D. The design and improvements of the project would not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. E. Approval of this project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare provided the required conditions and mitigation measures are complied with. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ TAIT & ASSOCIATES AGENDA REPORT ■ JANUARY 8, 2004 0 PAGE 4 of 7 ■ • 0 EXHIBIT A Use Permit for Lance Tennis on APN 069-590-008, UP 04-02: A Use Permit to modify UP 79-26 by replacing a 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank with a 1,000 gallon above ground fuel tank.
