The hearings on the E.I.R. ,should be coordinated with the various project approvals which are involved. As I under- stand it, the project involves formationof an assessment district, a Board -initiated rezone to M-2 (bee Board minutes of 8/2/77) , and two subdivision tentative maps. (Dolores Hayes and Clay McGowan) I am not sure which should be approved first, although assessment district formation. may be a logical, first step. , Zais department otan.ds ready to coordinate E.I.R. finalization With whichever approval is next in the processing sequence. I believe the Board of Supervisors agreed to absorb the initial study costs, but all other E .T.R processing costs are chargeable to the assess- ment district and the related subdivision. projects. .(,See Board minutes of. 8/2/78) Everd McCain is project engineer.

(a) The project is a r_ublic project ini for Special Asstiated by a "'Petition essment Proceedings" signed by the owners of 85.3 percent of the lands described on the map en- titled "Proposed. Boundaries of Meyers Street Assessment District No. 1, County of Butte, State of California" said map having been approver by Of Supervisors on March 1, 1977. -resolution by the Board The project involves a rezone of the.. area inside the boundary of the Meyers street Assessment District #1 from A 2 to M-2 so that it is consistent with the city and county designated land uses .Ind also a 6 unit (Valine) and a 14 unit (McCowan.) industrial, subdivision. The Project is designated, , Numbers bl AssessO s Parcel ver".ous. The proposal would result in the rezone of'�a3� total of 47 acres within the assessment district. The Purpose is to allow development of the area an t. The With , the existing and intended land uses as ,set forth nc the Butte County and City of Chico General Plans. Existing industrial uses which now occ also be affected, upy the site will so that the zoning will conform to their industrial uses, The newly created lois will serve industrial uses of three main types; light manu- facturing, food procesasing, and transportation oriented firms. These uses will conform to present uses and are logical due to the proximity of residential areas and the major transportation corridor (highway 99) 1 Economic Considerations: a. The Meyers Street Assessment District is the first project in line, county wide, to receive the required funding when it becomes available, according to Mr. Bob Nicholson of the Butte County Development Commission. b. The remaining cost o5 the project is to be paid by the individual property owners through the formation of a County of Butte Special Assess-- ment District. c. The following are beneficiaries to bo aided by the formation of the Meyers Street Assessment District. 1. Wren Products 2. Carsan Tnvustment Company 3. Marian Archer 4. Walter Austin 5. Dolores Valine 6. Bassen Foods 7. Peter's 'Truck Line 8. Systems 99 9. B & K 10. Butte County Mosquito Abatement District 11. Clay and FaYe McCowan d. The total cost of street improvements on site is projected to be $150,900.00 according to the Preliminary engineering report, e. Sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements will cost an estimated $95,200.00. f. The storm drainage system will cost $150,000.00. g# improvements for sanitary sewer. wily, cost $75,500.00. h.

The proposal will be economically growth --inducing to the area, This generally undesirtible industrial; area that is not well--dovolopod will bocome one attractive to Concerns relocating within the Chico area, and it will also be attractive to concerns outside the area seeking to move in. The proposal will help to open up the area along the proposed Ivy Street extension. This area: is presently one of limited access which has a dcsi gnate4 land use of industrial. k. other growth -inducing aspects of the proposal include the creation of job opportunities to local residents. The ,proposal will create z number of temporary construction jobs of a short-term nature Full-time jobs of a long -germ or career nature, will become available when specific industry becomes established. Anticipated industrial uses on site include food processing, light manufacturing and transportation, oriented firms. A majority of the available jobs resulting from the proposal will be office personnel, true: drivers and line workers An estimated 250-350 new jobs may be created as a direct result of the proposal. tither jobs will eventually become available as an indirect effect of the growth -inducing impacts of opening up the area along the proposed Ivy Street Extensinn. 1. Substantial increases in property taxes will result from this project and Future industrial development in the area, thereby lessening'the tax burden on the homeowners of Butte County, m. The owners are presently 'without the required funds to implement the proposal without formation of the assessment district. It may be in the public's interest and environmental interest to improve the site. 2. Technical Considerations: a. 14 new lots (McGowan), and 6 new Lots ('valine) will, be created by !,I -e proposal. b`. There will be approximately ' 176, 000 square feet of new surfacing and paving. c. Site preparation will, involve cuts of approxi- yatelyo0.6 feetandwill amount to 4,000 cubic d. Frontage improvements- will consist of approximately -4 8,136 linc-41 feet Of curb, gutter and sidewalk improvemen'!;s - e, Waste water (sewage) that is discharged by the industrial. uses will be carried by newly installed sanitary sewer pipe to the city of Chico treatment plant where both primary and secondary treatment is available. The city of Chico system is more than adequate to handle development of this site. f. Collection and disposal of storm water runoff will be accomplished by proper grading and the installa- tion of storm drain pipe. Runoff will collect off buildings and street improvements, and wash into the storm drain system. The underground pipe will follow the street layout as per site development plan and will then be discharged into an establish- ed drainage channel known as Edgar Slough, which flows westerly at the southwest end of the new Meyers Street. 9. Underground Pipelines for storm drainage facili- ties and sanitary sewer facilities will total approximately 6,000 lineal feet. ho Street lighting will be accomplished by the instal- lation of 12 light poles at appropriate locations. i. Street improvements will include improvement of the existing street, from the east boundary line to the end of the existing street, Which includes a total of 46,980 square feet of area. The total area of street improvements froirt -the end of the existing street to the transition to 4 -lane Ivy Street is represented by 16,200 square feet, and thepart of 4 -lane Ivy Street to be constructed is represented by 42,240 square feet. The four cul-de-sac8 as shown per site development plan will comprise a,,total of 69,840 square feet of street improvements (10r080 + 25,560 + 14,760 + 19,440). This brings the total square footage of street improvements to 175,260 square feet. j, Pacific Gas and Electric and ,Pacific,Telephone will need to extend services into the'newly developed area. 'Xhis represents no major problem. k. Watet will be supplied to the, area by the California Water Service Company. Their system of deep Wells in the area is more than adequate. li Solid waste produced on site is collected by commercial scavengers. 0 3. Environmental. Cont�idera tions r a. There will be an irreversible loss of 24+ acres of prime agricultural soil from production. b. The removal, of the orchard will, result in the lass of 70At mature and imM,ture almond trees. 15142. Natural Systems. (a) Topograph The project site is relatively flat, due to industrial site preparation and grading fox agricultural use. The gentle slope of a few feet per mile is to the west. No outstanding topographical features exist. true to site characteristics the project is in an area where erosion potential is slight, soils are moderate in expansive quality, the liqui_fication potential is moderate and the project is in a potential subsidence area. These points apply not only to the project area but also to most of the Chico area. (b) Geologic Structures and Soil. Char .cteristi.cs; This region is usually characterized as a "zone of tran- sition" geologically between the fragmental volcanic rock and lava cap of the Sierra Nevada, foothills and the deep, well -drained agricultural soils of the Sacramento Valley. The typical profile in the area is not readily observable on site, but consists of highly productive Vina loam soil at the surface. Below the well --drained' topsoil is a layer of sand and pa=. Ns which gradually becomes cobble interspersed with Mail boulders. Com pact sedimentary layers containing some permeable and impermeable clays extend downward, and these are under- lain by Tuscan formation which is evidence of ancient volcanic action.: Seismic activity is possikle throughout the whole of Butte County, due to the extensive fault system present in the ,Sierra foothills. The nearest fault approaches the site from the southeast and comes within 2-1/2 miles of the project site. The activity of this fault is un- known. The only earthquakes c,f significant magnitude that have occured its recent times happened in Oroville i.n 1975 and 20 miles east of Paradise in 1940. Both earthquakes registered a magnitltde of 5.0 on the Richter Scale. Earthquakes of a magnitude of 6.0 or less are Possible any time in the foothi'-1 area. Secondary effects front earthquakes such as liqu,cfacti,or4 should not be a Problem in the area. (a) Agricultural Soil: Vina loam soil, is the highest quality agricultural soil in the valley, It is characteristically fine to mediul7! in texture; deep and well -drained, The erodibil ty is slow, clue mainly to the level nature of the area, and the permeability is moderate. (d) Mineral Deposits: There are no known mineral depostis on site of sufficient concentration to be of significant commercialvalue. (e) Flora: The area fronting along Meyers Street is under industrial use. That part of the project that is parcel one is under open and agricultural uses;` These uses have re- moved the natural around cover of the area. Flora on site consists of almond trees and grass. 1. Almond Orchards The existing almond orchard comprises 24'k acres and is inhabiter) by some Inhabited by some 700+ trees that would be removed. The, trees grow in high- quality Vina loam soil; however, their continued productivity and economic life in an industrially zoned area seems to be short-term. 2. Grasses. a Grasses on site consist of common annual grasses to the area, most likely needle grass, Lunch or blue grass, and three awn. (f) Fauna. The only moderate to ideal habitat that exists on site is that portion of the western project site occupied by almond orchard„ - 11. Birds: Birds which were observed and known tooccupythe area include Red-tailed Hawk - Barn Owl,, American Keatral, Western Meadowlark, Pigeon, Rock Dove, Red -wing Blackbird, -Black or Yellow -billed Magpie,' Acorn Woodpecker, Scrub Jay, Mockingbird, Common Junco, American Robin, Common Flicker, Mourning Dove and various'finchese warblers, viveos and s a:rows p �7w 24 Land Animals: Mammal life on site is restricted due to the lack of adequate cover. Rodents such as mice and voles are resident, while jackrabbits and lost skunk are coca- sioftally seen4 The only local reptile present is probably the Western Vence Lizard. Invertebrates abound in the agricultural soil. (g) Climate and Atmos ph ric Conditions: West of the crest of the Sierra Nevada the climate is characteristically Mediterranean in nature. Information from weather monitoring stations in the area, indicates that Butte County's weather is dominated by two season, with zones of transition between. The main weather characteristic of the hot, dry summer season is the typi- cal high-pre8sure ridging off the California coast. Temperatures locally average 810 F in July with highs to 1050 F, The main weather characteristic that dominates the mild, wet winters is the typical low-pressure area stationary over the North Pacific$ which directs storm fronts at the north coast. Average temperatures near 450 F in January with lows in the 200104 The shift from high to low pressure areas that influences westerncli- mate so drastically is tho result of alternate cooling and warming of arctic land masses, as well as other complex li_mteoro logical conditions. Butte County is located regionally within the Sacramento Valley alley Air Basin. Information available from the Air Resource Board reveals the following. The air basin con- tains 21f300 square miles of land area. 1970 census figures showed 1.2 million residents in the basin 840,000 motor vehicles operated within the basin basin. i- bute to pollution. Vrom stationary and mobile sources, 573 tons of organic gasses, 172 tons of particulate matter* 213 tons of nitrogen. oxides and 2090 tons of carbon monoxide were released to the air daily. Sta- tionary sources resulted in 816 tons per day. overall air quality in the county is good, according to the Air Resource Board, However, Butte County is among the top polluters county -wise in the -basin. This is due mainly to agricultural burning and automobile and truck emissions. Stagnation caused by inversion layers are common to the area in fall and winter, and trap local pollutants near the ground. Storm fronts or strong wind a action will rid the valley of stagnation: Winds are commonly from the south-southeast or from the north- northwest. 8buth winds are related to approaching storm fronts, especially during summer and winter. North winds are typically associated with high-pressure ridging and bring fair weather. Wind speed is normally between 8-12 miles per hour. N Rra M Drainage capabilities vary, on site, and: a particular problom exists along the existing Meyers Street frontage where existin, industrial uses have constructed buildings t and parking lots of impervious material. Meyers Street is presently inadequate to handle increased traffic, and no drainage system exists along Mayers Street. Standing water accumulates slowly near the building and along the roadside. A storm drain system appears to be needed. The rest of the site is not yet ov'ercovered with imper- vious material, and the soil has good natural drainage with runoff rates of slow to moderate.. Drainage in the area is generally to the southwest and a drainage channel called Edgar Slough exists in close proximity to the sit,,e. Manmade Systems. (i) Public Facilities and Utilities 1.. Water: Water will be supplied to the project by the California Water Service Company. The company has a multiple system of very adequate sleep wells serving the Chico area. 2. SGwcr Whan full development is realized, all waste water discharge will be to the City of Chico treat- ment plant. Primary and secondary treatment facili- ties are available, 3 Flectricityc New facilities will have to be extend ed a short distance. This distance is insignif=icant d anwill not alter the capability to serve others. 4. Telephone: Telephone service is available from Pacific Telephone. Services will need to be extend- ed a short distance. 5. Fire Protection: Vire protection will be furnished` by Butte. County Fire Department from the Fair Street Fire Station. Response time from the station is under one minute. 6. Police Protection; Police protection will be furnish- ed by the Butte County Sheriff's Department from their substation in Chico. Response time is 2-7 minutes., 7. Hospital: Chico Community Memorial Hospital at 500 Cohasset Road and Brrl.oe Memorial Hospital at West 5th Street 'and the Esplanade serve the Chico community. .» g (J) Transportation 8ystoms: Access to and from the project site is Presently limited to vehicular traffic. Traffic circulation is impaired Presently by the fact ingress and egress to and from the area is Provided by Mayers Street alone, (The proposed Ivy street extension will affect area circulation :bone- ficially) Current traffic count on Bast Park Avenue is given to be 14,731 A.D.T. No public r transportation presently exists within the Chico area. Railroad, bus and air traffic connections can be made in Chico. (k) Land Uses The Meyers Street industrial area is an existing, poorly developed site. It has the: potential to become a well developed industrial park. Present land uses on site include the above mentioned industrial use and also 24* acres of land `under agricultural use as an almond orchard. A small amount: of open land exists. The Butte County General; Plan and the City of Chico Gen- eral Plan both designate this area as one of industrial and potential industrial use. The project is consistent with both plans. The project site is presently zoned A~Z. The surrounding property is commercial and light industrial in nature, presenting no conflict with the plan as proposed. Surrounding land use designations in both City and County General. Plans are commercial and industrial. (l) Survey of Industrial Areas: The total available land area that is developed indust- rially or has that potential due to zoning and/or land use designation. has been investigated. The total acreage available to industrial dcvelopmgnt (zoned M-1 or M_2) in the Chico urban area is 13511 acres- Of this total, 593 acres are presently developed and occupied. 569 additional acres are developed but unoccupied, and a total of 189 acres axe vacant, and undeveloped. 78% of theindustriallyzoned. property within the city limits is vacant. 34% of the Indus- trial.ly zoned property outside the city limits is vacant. Almost half (56t) of the total, available ihdus, trial property in the area is vacant. Much of this vacant property borders existing industrial areas such as Southgate and Meyers street. 1t may be advantageous to planning goals to develop in these areas. A further breakdown of industrially zoned land area by area is made a part of this report in the appendic•;,: �10- 1�Sh'{J, t.:i'C�`.';,. ,:,aLnfi'Xy'I�;fPlY �T�e,,, �,:, � •, , ....,,.. .. ,..... .. , x� ..... . ......... W Butte County is in an area that can be self-sufficient energy -wise in years of adequate rainfall,. Energy is supplied to this area by nine Pacific Gas and 'Electric hydroelectric power plants in the Feather Canyons, Such has not been the case during the droughty., but, some relief has come with recent rainfall, according to Pacific Gas and Electric officials. Energy supplies in the area are adequate to meet the needs of this type development. (n) Archeological and Historical Significance The project site has been previously altered due to , industrial. site development and the agricultural uses present. The possibility of finding archeological artifacts of significance is low: Should any archeo- logical artifacts be discovered during site develop- ment, a qualified consulting archeologist should be contacted immediately. (o) Noise and Vibration: The proposed project site is in an already recognized' industrial area, according to the noise element of the Butte County General Plan. Research done in completing the noise element turned up no major complaints about noise affecting nearby residents. Some industrial uses that would be allowed by an M-2 (heavy industrial) zone, such as machinery and auto shops or tanneriesmight have the ability to significantly increase noise pollu- tion: IIowever, the planned uses are expected to be limited to food processing,, light -manufacturing, and transportation -oriented firms. Any use which, would be clearly objectionable due to noise level is subject to - acquiring a use permit in an M-2 zone, in which case it would undergo environmental review. :15143. Environmental Y.Tpeet. (a) The Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action - 1. Cumulative Impacts and Growth -Inducing Effects; As is the case with a project with seemingly minimal impact, such as this, several of the impacts that are cumulative are riot as significant as they are unavoidable. As an example, all development in the area is in a potential earthquake zone. This impact is peculiar to no particular projects. Yet, indus- trial activity is somewhat, more susceptible to acci- dent' due to seismic activity,._ than other types' of projects. �ll_ Some allowable M-2 uses could be singly large energy and fossil fuel users. The cumulative effect of inner' creased energy use will be to tax regional energy reserves in the future. The impact on energy use is not unique to this type of project., but is cumulative for all development. As a unit; the new industrial activity along Meyers Street will impact regional energy use only minimally. The cumulative effects of everincreasing traffic,, and finding a safe and adequate pattern of circulation are impacts which are not unique to any certain kind of project. However, they do, with the rest of the cumulative impacts, present some of the most, serious planning problems. The eventual Ivy Street extension seems vital. to achieve adequate circulation in the area, as. Well as to open up other industrially desig- nated land use areas to the north and west of this proposal The cumulative effect that this and other projects has on public services is a growth -inducing effect. No expansion of any services may be required due to any single project; however., the cumulative effect of much development will eventually require expansion to continue to provide adequate service The cumulative effect of conversion of agricultural land to urban uses is an impact on a non-renewable resource. The short term use of building materials :s an impact on a renewable resource. 2. Economic impacts using the county tax assessment roll, and applying the 1977-�78 tax rate for the code 62-03, the revenues to the county and special district can be calculated. Tax Rate Current Per $l00 Revenue County Wide 1.992 $90o424.84 Less Than County 'Wide 160 $ 7,263.04 Schools and Education .691 $31,3`67.25 Special Districts .537• $19rO37.17 Special Code, Z-15 127 4 5,7,55.03 The tax rates were applied, to a total assessed valua- tion of the entire 47 acres and improvements.- This assessed valuation was $453,940.. This places the present assessed market valuation in the: neighborhood of $1,815,760.00. -12- The total assessment against the owners property resulting from the proposed improvements is estimated to be $931,1,30.00, based on engi'neer's estimated. improvement: costs Of this total, to be broken down into 40% and 60% incrcment<st part is hoped to be paid for by O -B o D P . funds, to be obtained, and the re- mainder to be paid by the owners. Total cost itemized (estimated) 1. street improvements $150000 2. Curb and Gutter $ 05,200 3, Storm Drain System $150`000 4. Sanitary Sewer System $ 75,000 5. Street Lighting $ 15,600 According to the tax assessor's office, there will, be an adjustment in the tax rate subsequent, to project implementation. Based on the present total tax rate for tax code 62-03 which is 13.407/.$100 assessed, an estimated increase in total revenue due to the pro- ject can be calculated. The estimated increase in revenue will be between $100,000 - $150,000, when calculated using the total tax rateo It should be noted here that the Meyers Street Assess- ment District #1 is first in line for O.B.D.P. funds, but these funds are not assured. The increased revenue realized from the proposed pro- ject will substantially help to reduce the burden on Butte County homeowners: The proposal will be growth -inducing in a number of ways. The project as proposed will build that part of the Ivy Street extension within the assessment district boundaries, and contribute funds toward the total Ivy street extension project. The ivy Street proposal will open up an area of previously limited access, andres lace sure on landowners along the p pressure route to develop their land. This extension will be a major thoroughfare to the freeway and will be • attractive especially to transportation-oriented;firms. There will be the creation of job,opportunites locally due to the proposal. Temporary construction jobs will be of a short-term naturei g'u'll -time joh,z will be available to local, residents, and may attract people outside the area when Full development is realized. A majority of jobs will be office --help, truck drivers and line workers other jobs on the Ivy Street ex- tension, and new development due to growth nducirig effects, will result as an indirect result of the proposal * Overall Economic Deve:,opment Plan -13- 3. Air Quality: There will be an increabo , in low dust levels during the construction phases- Lillis impaot is short-terni and can be successfully mitigated. The proposal would result in an increase in vehicle traffic locally. Automobiles and trocks will Contri- bute emissions in the form of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen to the atmosphere. presently some 300± employees per day work at the existing industrial concerns along Meyers Street - This figure can be expected to double with the approVal of the rezone and subdivision. Automobile and truck emissions are the principal form of pollutants re-- leased to the air in the north state. This impact of . emissions on air quality is mimulativ6- However, the problem is rogionwide and the effects that this project will have on overall county air quality is negligible. The following emission forecasts for the Chico area are calculated to assess the cumulative, 'effect Of all area development and growth over the twenty year period 1970-1990. The emission forecasts are calculated from the following formula and given data from the Butte County General flan. Assumed information not available from the local Air Pollution Control District is a breakdown of 80% light duty vehicles vs. 20% heavy duty vehicles. 1970 Chico population = 31t000 1,980 Chico population = 40,000 (projected.) 1990 Chico population = 50,000 (projected) Co = Carbon Monoxide HC = Hydrocarbons Nox�= Nitrogen Oxides 1970 Co emissions 105,400 lbs/day 1970 Hc emissions 28,520 lbs/day 1970 NOXI emi8sions 10,540 lbs/day 1980 CO emissions = 35,351-lbs/day 1980 HC emissions = 7,726 lbs/day emissions 5j303 lbs/day 1980 NOX 1990 Co I emissions = 22j080 lbs/day 1990 HC rm ssiotts - 2,755 lbs/day 1990 Noyemissions = 3,394 lbs/day The,change to an 1n-2 zoning will allow some industrial us i es which may adversely affect air quality. Stationary -14. sources used in some manufacturing could contribute particulate matter to the air. Certain manufacturing processes may also result- in the release of objection- able odors to the atmosbhere. Strict conformance to standards is required by the State of California, and the Butte County Air Pollution Control Office will regulate emissions from future industrial uses. Of prime importance here:, any use which may be objection- able duce ito smoke, odor or rust is subject to acguir ing a'use permit under M-2 zoning 4. Noise and Vibration: An M--2 zoning allows some uses which have the poten- tial to create objectionable noise or vibration, if industrial uses are confined to what is planned, food processing, light manufacturing and transportation farms, then the only significant noise generated will be an increase in truck noises along Meyers Street, a street with considerable truck traffic already. Due to this, the impact should be minimal.. of prime importance here, any use: which may be objectionable, due to noise, is required to obtain a use permit, 5. Traffic and Circulation: Project approval would generate a moderate increase in vehicle movement locally, and, also contribute to a long -ranee solution to the circulation problem. Short-term increases in local traffic and traffic safety hazards will accompany the construction phases of the proposal. These impacts are limited, due to the fact that construction will take place at the end of Meyers Street away from the general circulation of people and goods. The final increase in traffic due to the 'proposal will be long-term and cumulative. Only a limited to moder- ate amount of traffic is expected to be generated by the project. An estimated increase in traffic can be calculated using research statistics Information based on a national study by the Maricopa Association of Governments in Tempe, ,Arizona, -and available from the California D6partment of Transportation, indicates that the average trip -ends per day in a general manu facturing area are as followst. l) Total floor area of structures over 5.00,000 square, feet. a;, 31.55 trip -ends per project acre, or b. 2.20 trip -ends per employee,. 2) Total floor space of structures under, 500,000 square feet. - a. 21.98 trip -ends per project acre, or b 2.88 trip --ends per employee. M15r The present average daily ,,dffic (ADT) on Meyer.,-, Street is not taken- by the Public Works Department, Computed from the above under 500,0()o Statistics and existing employee (290and aoreage sizes (23 acres), the present median ADT i.s calculated to be 684.77 ADT on Meyers Street. Estimated traffic increases given below are given as a median figure arrived, at from calculations involving total project acreage, estimated number of employees" and the estimated trip -ands given above.

Tho increase in ADT is given as a range, because of the variablesinvolved in accurately determininq the total number of employees on site after full devO101Ment is realized. This increase of apprOximatolY 700 vehicles will cumu- latively add to increased Safety hazards locally, but as an, individual source of traffic hazards, the addi- tion of 700 cars and trucks to the traffic load of the area (examples: Midway 9,681 ADT and East Park Avenue 14,731 AOT) will not create any Significant or now Safety hazardso -16- I "A"M 'll Traffic ha;rards and congestion will Increase on Mayers Street until the problem of circulation can be mitigated. At present Meyers Street is the only access point to and from the project site. another access to and from "Park Avenue is needed to facili- tate safe circulation in the Mum, The project aq proposed will contribute directly to the short-term and long-term solutions to circulation problems on site and in the area. A major thoroughfare; referred to as the Ivy Street Extension, is planned as part of the area circulation element of the Chico General Plan (included). This road is intended to connect this primarily industrially designated area with the freeway on the east. As a portion of this project, the Meyers Street Assessment District will construct that portion of the Ivy Street txtention within the bow.idaries of Ae assussmont WOW. The short-term solution to circulation on site will be provided with the construction of that portion of the Ivy Street Extension between the proposed project and Park Avenue This project is expected to take place Within the next five years. ?he Meyers Street Assessment District will also contribute funds toward the completion of this project. The short-term solutions to local circv- lation provided by these two projects will also con- tribute to long-term solutions to area circulation, b� having already constructed these portions of the total Ivy Street Extension project. Many local and area planning goals seem to hinge on the Ivy Street Exten- Sion proposal. Fourteen new right-of-ways are to be acquired by the County of Butte as part of the Meyers Street AssessmeAt District proposal. These right -of --ways are located ai per "General Map of Right-ofwway8 and Property to be Acquired". A list of owners deeding rightwof-ways to the County of Butte follows: 6. Land Use: Impacts related to existing land uses and those set forth in the Butte County and City of Chico General Flan are decidedly beneficial; industrial development near existing industrial uses is encouraged so as to confine adverse impacts of indcatrial areas to the same Mannan Such is the Case with this project. Area planning is are met, and planning options remain open for the future. Disporsion of industrial activity should be discouraged. The goal of preserving prime agricultural land should concentrate on land west of Chico. This renders the impact of loss of agricul Lural land minor, in this case. The project is consis- tent with both city and county General Plans. 7. Land Transformation, Construction and, natural.

Other than the visual effect of Pavingf no other Visual ClurtLlitY Of the topography will be affected. Subdivision and lot development of the 14 lot McGowan subdivision will. rosult in , fie loss of 244- acres of agricultural land to urban uses, Loss of agricultural land to urban dc-clopment in a resources loss which is long-term and oumulativc4 However, based on the loca- tion of the orchard in relation to other agricultural areast the proximity of existing industrial uses and the land use designation in both General Plans, it i's unlikely the orchard could remain a, self` -supporting, productive unit for long. The prime Vina loam soil and the 700: almond trees are the major resource loss that will be visible. This loss of agricultural land and prime agricultural soil is an example of resource loss which is irreversible. There will be e short-term increase in the use of building materials during con- struction. This is an impact on a renewable resource. A future impact related to land transformation in the area may be the slight relocation of Edgar Slough as part of the Ivy Street project,. 8i Drainaget The introduction of impervious materials on site for buildings and paved surfaces will cause a net increase in the rate and amount of, storm water runoff. Also, there will be a reciprocal decrease in the absorption rate: Natural drainage is adequate, and runoff is presently slow to medium. This increase is not ex- pected to be particularly s.ignificant. The assessment district will be responsible for the installation of a storm drainage system as per site development plan. This will not only mitigate the increase in. runoff, but will benefit the area as a whole. Runoff will collect off buildings and paved surfaces, and wash into the drainage pattern. It will then be collected in underground pipe and transported by gravity flow to the end of the now Meyers Street, where it will be discharged into an existing established drainage channel known as Edgar Slough. The possibility of erosion and sedimentation exist, and will be prevented by proper erosion protection measures, 9. Water Quality and Usage. Some pollutantsi particularly petroleum products dropped by cars, will be washed away into the drainage pattern and find their way into Edgar Slough. This is not significant and represents no threat to any natural running water course as none exist in the immediate' area. -19- I I The implementation of the proposal would result in a reduction of water usage in the area. The water do- mands of new uses allowed by the M-2 z0natnq would surely be significantly less than the water demands of a 24 acre orchard. This would have a beneficial effect on local groundwater supplies, and provide more water for neighboring land in the area still under agricultural pursuits, 10. Solid Wastes and Sewage OLsposalt some industrial uses which would be permitted under an M-2 coning, have the potential to generate signi- ficant amounts of solid waste. This, however, is not expected to be the case in this instance. Of the beneficiaries in the Meyers Street Assesment District only five will generate any solid waste, and only one of these in any significant amount. The new McGowan subdivision will be primarily manufacturing and transportation oriented and will generate only a small, insignificant amount of solid waste, which may be easily collected by commercial scavengers. Such is presently the case with beneficiaries Walter Austin and Lassen Foods* Marian Archer's new manufacturing and transportation concern will produce small, insig- nificant amounts of solid waste also. One exception to this is parcel 10, which venerates significant leftover plastic; however, they store this on site in hopes of being able to us it to fill future order. Lassen Foods is presently the only concern generating significant amounts of liquid waste, which would re - .quire sewage disposal. Any new food processing plants will require sewage disposal also. The assessment district will be responsible for the installation of sanitary sewer pipe as shown on the general. plan of improvements. This will hook the area up to the City of Chico sewer system, which is quite adequate to handle the amount of sewage expected to be generated by this project, 11. Public Service Systems and Utilities: Upon project approval, there will,be at increased dematd on area public services which will be long-term and cumulative. The main impacts that any development havoon public services are the qrowth-inducing cumula- tive impacts which will eventually necessitate expan- sion to provide adequate service. The expansion of public services. is the as it invites developmenti and the cycle continues.

Butte County road sex.vice.a will he responsible for the rn�a ntcanancG €a C tall. roads once constructed. The Project will not require an expansion of these services. The proposal will benefit the community in the area of public safety, d1e to the increased lighting in the area from installation of street sights, and the pro- tection of the industrial area from fire hazards clue to the Proximity of the county Fair Street station. The effect on city and county planning departments will be advantageous as, in effect, goad city planning wi:ll be accomplished* An area designated Gasindustrial in both the city and county General Plans Will be developed as one. Some new lines will need to be extended by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and the Pacific Telephone Company into the new area opened up by the oxtensie,n of PQeyers Street. Spokesmen for both companies stated that this extension of thein services would have no effect on their capability to serve the area.

(6) Alternatives to the prolJos ��rtion: 1.,No Pr9ject: A maintenance of the statusquo Would resulc in the least amount of impact to the environ- ment. The lanj is suited to industrial or aqricul- tural uses, and maintenance Of the 'Status quo would result in Part Of the land remaining under agricul- tural use an almond Orchard. Duo to existing indust- rial VsCS on site, the othor reasonable alternati4es involva different zonings. 2. M-1 zoning" of asseSsInont district.* The alternative Would be in Iteoping with the designated land use in the area. The LaNict to the environment Would be the same for a prOPOS01 Of this nature as it would for the proposoci project. The difference between the two Would be that solve Of the more objectionable uses allowed undbr hn M-2 zoning, would be subject to undergoing environmental, review to Obtain a use Permit 'Linder an, Yt-1 zoninq, Ilowever, it is question- able whether or not an 11-1 zoning would fit all the Presently existing industrial uses. 11 3- ( e ) 3. Combination M-2 and C-2 zoning Of assessment district: This alternative would resul,t in the existing indust- rial uses being zoned M-2 to be consistent with desig- oated and existing use. In this alternativt,,, the Erontago along the Ivy Street extention would be zoned C-2 and would be attractive, to commercial developers. NOWevcr, the frontage would not be attractive until the Ivy Street extension projoct is comple'ted, which renders this alternative economically unfeasible until a later date. When reviewing short-term vs* long-term effects on the character of land which is suited for two or more differ- ent uses, in this case agricultural and industrial, a number of considerations must be taken into account. Weighed separately, each may point to a specific use which seems appropriate; weighed collectively, a decision which best suits the area may be reached. Of primary concern in determining the highest: an.d best use, and at what time to implement the project, are the following questions. that is the agricultural produc- tivity of the site? What arc the surrounding land uses? How do other suitable locations compare with the site selected for development'? A key to determining agricultural productivity is the soil type. In this case, soils are Vina loam, which is prime agricultural soil. With proper care and maintenance the orchard may be able to remain self supporting. However, of prime concern here is the fact that the orchar& has become somewhat isolated from other agricultural pursuits. At present the orchard barely pays for itself and taxes. It may be uneconomical for it to continueunder agricultural pursuits. The surrounding land uses are industrial, Designated land uses in the area is industrial. Surrounding land uses may not be conduCive to continued agricultural pur- suits. Continued agricultural. pursuits in an industrial area may apply pressure on outlying areas to subdivide for industrial uses, and this closlas a number of plan.- hing options. The Chico area offers a number of suitable locations for industrial developmentj which are zoned M-1 Or M-2 and are available, This Site is suitable, degigyated for industrial uso and the rezone would correct the zoning,, so that it would be in accordance with existing uses'. �2 4- A major east -west thoroughfare is planned in the future which almoot rules out productive arJrIQUItural pursuits after tho next d000de. (f) Any Irreversible gnvironmental changes Which WoUld Be Involved .iii the Proposed Action Should -t Be 1. 24+ acres of productive Vina loom $oil and 700± almond trees will be permanently lost, 2. There will be a substantial increase in traffic flow, traffic related hazards and traffic noise along Meyers Street until circulation is aided and these impacts somewhat mitigated by the proposed Ivy Street exten- sion. 5. There will be a cumulative, growth -inducing demand on the various local public services. 4. There will be a net increase in the rate and amount of storm water runoff. (g) Growth -Inducing. Impacts: 1. The McGowan subdivision creates lots for fourteen new M-2 businesses.. 2. The proposal will create numerous new job opportuni- ties locally. Construction jobs will be available on a temporary 8hort-texm basis in the beginning. once full development is realized on site, there will be an estimated 250-350 permanent jobs available, which would attract applicants from the local work force as well as applicantsfrom outside the area. 3. The Meyers Street Assessment District will construct that part of Ivy Street that lies within its boundaries and also contribute funds toward the whole Ivy Street extension proposal. The Ivy Street extension would be a main east -west thoroughfare and would open up an area of limited access. Opening up the area will increase pressure on landowners along the'romte to develop their land industrially, 4o Although no expansion of a public service is directly attributable to the proposed project, it, as well as other projects in the area, have a cumulative growth - inducing effect on the public services which will eventually necessitate their expdrision. 5. The extension of sanitary sewer lines within the " entire project and the extension of electric and phone lines into t -he McGowan subdivision is growth - inducing. It invites further erten cion to neighbor- ing parcols. 15144.
