HomeMy WebLinkAbout79 - 107 A (2)Having reviewed and considered the final envi.ronmental impact report for the Chico Airport hnvsrons Rezone as certified on July 22, 19800 x move we make the following findings: (1) Development which occurs pi%rsuatit to project approval may result in sif;nificart effects on the environment in the areas of traffic in- creases with a resulting need for road improve- ments, need for additional school facilities, increases in surface water runoff with a result- ing need for drainage improvements within and outside the project area, possible loss of archaeological resources, Loss of prime agri- cultural lands, pos7�ibl:e loss of riparian vegetation and rare: plants, and possible failure of sewage disposal systems in areas of soils poorly suited to proper functioning of such systems. (2.) Significant effects related to loss of archae- ological resources,, loss of riparian vegetation and rare plants, and failure of sewage disposal. systems can be mitigated at the subdivision approval level on a project -by -project basis,. The loss of prime agricultural soil cannot be mitigated (although the extent of this impact has been limited by a change in the 'rezone proposal which applies A-10 zoning to a portion of the prime agricultural soils). impacts re- laced to traffic circulation and drainage can be partially mitigated on a project -by -project basis by developer's contributions, and the balance of funds required to achieve an accept- able level of Service will have to come from other funding sources,, such as gas tax, property tax, assessment distric'C-i grant funds or other, public revenue sources i ta) Except as listed above, ntitil;ation measures are not applicable to this type of rezone project, although project alternatives can serve to reduce environmental. damage. Project alternatives which reduce the potential for environmental degradation have been implemented to the greatest extent possible consistent with project objectives. Specific findings with regard to alternatives- are as follows: (a) Alternative l: - No Project, This alterna- tive is being rejected because it would retain A-2 zoning over much of the project area:, which would permit development with potential environmental impacts more adverse than the proposed project. (b)Alternative 2 - Zone specific portions of the project: to PA-C (planned Area-Cluster;) zones. This alternative is being rejected because the detailed site specific planning necessary for a PA-C zone can more apprn- priately be done by individual: land owners at the time of development. The project as proposed does not preclude owners from ` requesting PA-C zoning at a later time if cluster development more accurately reflects their development plans, although such re- zones will have the greatest likelihood of approval if the gross densities of dwelling units per acre are not increased. (c) Alternative 3 - Lower density development, from SR-'1 and. SR-3 to SR-3 and SR-5. Tills alternative is being rejected because the environmental benefits are not great when I iewed in: connection with the Loss of tax base needed to finance improvements r such as roads and drainage systems, which would be nece'ssar y in either case (d) Alternative 4 - Residential development at urban densities. This alternative is being„ rejected because the detriments outweigh the benefits as listed on page 85a of the PIR_ „ (e) Alternative s - Preservation of prima agricultural ].and. This alternative, while not feasibleto implement: as pro- posed because of the location of exist- ing xisting parcel boundaries and land use pat- terns in relationship to the distribution of the prime agricultural soils, dial, influence a modification of the original proposal resulting in the application of A” 10 (Agricultural 10 acre minimum parcel size) to a portion of the project area where the best agricultural soils are found-. This modification represents a reasonable compromise and has become the project under consideration_. (4) Although there may be significan0 adverse environ- mental effects resulting from the approval of this project, there are overriding considerations which justify project approval These overriding considerations include: (a) The proposed zoning is 'environmentally superior to the zoning currently in effect, and -represents a major step forward in the phase-out of A-2 zoning. (b) The proposed zoning was developed to provide a measure of protection for the Chico Airport, by establishing compatible uses an,d densities near the airport. (c) The zoning as proposed will bring zoning of , this area into consistency with the Butte County General Plan policies. (d) The project will establish harmonious land use patterns, appropriately zoned,, which will provide areas for 'future suburban growth of the Chico area. I thereforemove that the zoning beadopted. _3- l'il����'aYXMJ/��0."wiA'lf�R'aS YAtlYmlld.'oMIwaNrnvrsw.rm..'n.1r�w;:q!w+�wn+m*ay. -. _ __ ...... Inter-Departmeodal emorankio TO; Board of Supervisors PAM Environmental Review SUDA T1 EIR for Chico Airport Environs Rezone OAM January 2, 1981 The EIR for this project was certified on July 22, 1980, in connection with a General Plan amendment. Accordingly, Tuesday's hearing is not a hearing on the Draft LIR and responses to comments are not necessary. If you decide to approve the project, the following determinations will be necessary: (1) Find that the LIR certified can Jyly 22, 1980 is applicable to this project, and further find that it was reviewed and considered in arriving at a decision, (2) Determine whether development which occurs within the project area pursuant to this rezone will reslut in si gnificant effects on the environmentf, If so, consideration of environmentally superior alternative zoning patterns and formulation of averr*ding considerations is required. (3') rind that the project is consistent with the Butte County General Plan. (4) Move for approval. One related issue which has not yet been resolved is the long tem drainage solution for this area You might remember there was a great deal of controversy related to the Rock Creek Diversion and Upper Mud Creek Drainage Plan. prepared by Jon Anderson for this area. Some discussion was held regarding assessment, districts for drainage channels within the project boundaries and for maintenance of the outfall channels leading to the Sacramento River (which are currently subject to block- age and flooding). Mr. Castleberry can give you up' to date in- formation regarding the status of a drainage solution, g � g If I can answer any, questions, please feel free to contact me.

Creek/ Ryck Creek SCx 79091103 From s 09PARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION District 3 Sublects District 3 has reviewed the supplemental, information containing a master storm drainage plan for the Upper Mud Creek area,and a study of the Rock Creels flood hazard problem. We offer the following; comments (a) The structure on.Route 99 at Rock Creek is not capable of handling any additional discharge., (b) Increasing the discharge to Keefer Slough would not be feasible because it has flooded five times since 1962. (c) The structure at Route 99 and Mud Creek is capable of handling a larger discharge. Any increase in discharge dueto development will also affect down- stream property oA-mers. The feasibility study by Jon Anderson (p. 35) indicates that flooding already occurs at Kusal Slough on Route 32. This flooding is caused by craters from Rock Creek backing. tip into Musal Slough. Development upstream will only compound this problem,., it should be the responsibility of the prepares of this plan to show whether structures in the downstream channels are ade- quate or inadequate and also the effect that development will have on downstream property owners., Consideration should be given to the type of financing that All be used if 'additional .improvements are required at Route 99 or downstream.

These drainage plans seem to us tq be part of a larger plan that would permit the development of several thousand acres of sand north of the City of Chico that currently is sparsely or undeveloped because the land J8 subject to flooding. The premise presented in. these two plans is that the U. S. Corps of Engineers overdesigned the capacity of Mud Creek ;and in reality, there is excess capacity that can be used, _ Upper Mud Creek is para of a federally -constructed flood control project Chico and Mud Creeks and Sandy Gulch Project that was built to divert Big Chico Creek flood flo%rs around the City of Chico. The design of the levees of Upper Mud Creek provides for three feet of freeboard at design capacity. Any change or, revi- sion in the operation of Upper Mud Creek will require the concur.-- rence of both the Corps of Engineers and The Reclamation Board. We are not aware of any contact that the Countyrs consultant has made regarding changing the operations of the flood control project. Before the County expends more money or other efforts, we would advise Butte County to contact both The Reclamation Board and the Corps of Engineers and review the federal project design. criteria and hydrology assumptions.

'The impacts of drainage channel.i.zati.on on riparian vogeta.-ti,on is acknowledged,. Many of The areas proposed for channel izatLsn do not support riparian vegetation.

Back water flooding caused by a rise in the Levels of the Sacramento River would not be affected unless sufficient water came down the channel to raise the entire river surface elevation. Whether the water comes down Rock Creek or Mud Creek, the eventual destination is the Sacramento River, unless the water is restrained and delayed by inadequate channel. capacity. If a channel capacity problem (undersized culvert, channel choked with debris) causes back water flooding, channel improvements or channel clearing would be -the approprlato solution,. Clearing can be done carefully with hand tools to increase capacity with only minimal effect on riparian vegetation. The study indicates additional, evaluation of the Kusel Slough area near Big Chico Creek is necessary. According to the engineer who prepared the drainage studies, the flood bypass facilities for Big Chico Creek would not be oven taXed. The diversion of water from Rock Creek shouldbe aocom plished in a manner which retains ,sufficient flows for riparian vegetation maintenance. The Depar'tmen't of Vi sh. and Game co=ents relating to the "flood meadow" as the preferred: alternative are acknowledged.

The purpose of this memorandum is to supplement the data of that document with a.thorough analysis criteria which are relevant to a comprehensive land use plan For the area. around Chico municipal Airport. The major policy issues are summarized and followed by a listing of lconsideredral �alongawithldesignationCcriteria Finally, land use proposals are for land use categories and the zoning Factors within each designation. �or issues: It must First be noted that Chico municipal Airport serves 'IJa large growing region and is the only airport in Butte County or adjacent counties with scheduled air carrier service. Because of its regional role and thesubstantial invectrnent of public funds, the airport merits the County's protection against surr it aircraft actavataesorothernseerestxicttaperationwhich sht unnecessarily lim of this valuable public iacIlity. Preventing incompatible development around the airport also protects the health, safety and environmental quality of future residents by minimizing disturbing noises From aircraft activities. Nonetheless, there are sound reasons not only for the recent development pressures in. the area but also For encouragement of development by the County. The airport area is level, the soil is poorly suited for plant crops, and natural hazards are minimal. unfortunately, the south end of` the the main runway is located only a _mile north of the present edge of Chico urban area, Were it not for the need to protect the airport, the would undoubtedly experience considerable development in the future area am thus take some pressure off prime agricultural land west of the City. The major issue in planning the future development of the airport area is; he airport operations therefore, the conflict between the need to protect t • and the need to facilitate development on non -prime soils. The Chico General Plan states that the land designated for urban residential development would accommodate the anticipated ;liousi;ng increase during the next ?0 years and that "ample land is available to accommodate even the highest 1915 growth projections without necessitating; the development of either prime a racultuxal soils ot must be recor J.and not suited to development".. HOV ever, ignized that the sufficiency of CT1ica General Plan is .rr soils and poor suitability fOr se to pranks, seg:;lu ots tosJL gn at are'as�on ofsnon-pra.melsoa.e enden� on the Cit s alar septic tanks, including the Northeast Chico area affected by the airport noise and safety factors described in the Spcareport. Spis a of xation bas been Influence plan forrtheed by City tale recent ador ion byy LAFCo of a Spheres which proposes the entire area cast of Cohasset Road and south ofthe Sycamore Creek Diversion Channel for eventual annexation to the City. The feasibility of extending sewer trunk lines to future annexation areas is now being examined in a Sewerage Master Plan prepared for the City by Brown and Caldwell: all of the, sewer system alternatives now under consideration include three east and west trunk, lines which cross Cohasset Road at the intersections of East Avenue, Pillsbury Road and Frontier Circle. The latter two, lines are proposed to extend eastward as far as Marigold Avenue, thereby opening tip for development extensive land within the flight corridor and CNEL 55 contour developed by Speasi Providing sewers for residential development would allow higher dwelling densities and thus decrease the amount of land needed for future growth. Encouraging annexation will also facilitate orderly development of contiguous properties and efficient expansions ,of drainage facilities, Cal Water's domestic water system and the urban street system. In the past few years, the area north and west of the airport has experienced substantial single-family construction on new parcels of one acre or more. Because this rural. residential development lies beyond the service areas of Cal Water Company and the City's sewer system, zoning densities should reflect the drainage and leaching capabilities of the various soils in order to prevent undue flooding or pollution of individual wells. Rural residential zoning around existing development should also consider the probable demand for such development and be limited on the north and east by the need. to main- tain extensive areas for livestock grazing. The other major issue in planning for the airport area is determining the proper extent of commercial and industrial uses. Industrial development is currently limited to 63 acres of the City's Airport In- dustrial Park-, 216 acres within the park and 280 acres in other areas of the City are vacant, served by water and sewer systems and zoned for industrial use. Except for aviation -related businesses at the airport, commercial 'uses are all located along or near Cohassat Road, south of Eaton Road and along -Highway 99 north of Garner Lane. Desig- nation for commercial or industrial uses should be preceded by a care- ful, review of the demand for such uses, the availability :of sites elsewhere,, compatibility with other uses, impacts on traffic flow and) like other categories, the fulfillment of the designation criteria in the new Land Use Element:.

The area of concern in this project includes all milinc'co orate-J-1and adjacent, near or affectod l)y the Chico Municipal Airport and especially areas within Speas' "Compatible Land Use Zones." However, no recommendations are made for areas where the existing zoning is consistent with both Speas' criteria and the policies and criterir,a of the County General Plan. Such areas include the "A-40" zoning north of Rock Creek the Ii and '►SR -1'` zoning 'bel,ow Lupin Avenue and its easterly extension, the recent "SA -3" zoning on 130. acres just east of Cohasset Road, and the "A -R" and '►'SRM'► zones In the Garner Lane area. In addition, no consideration is given here to the consistent zoning proposed separately in the "North Chico Rezone" area south of Sycamore Creek and the Pleasant Valley Drainage Ditch. Finally, no rezoning is proposed for the clear zone now being acquired by the City of Chaco on both sides of Cohasset Road south of the airport All of the property heroin proposed for rezoning is currently zoned ",1-2" (General) . The area is generally bounded by Rock Creek on the north, by highway 90 on the west, by Sycamore Creel: on the south, and by large parcels in grazing use on tine east. To expedite the consistent zoning of "A-2" areas, we have included in this proposal all of the area previously considered as the "Garner -Keefer" project. Planning Proposals: Enclosed is a copy of the proposed Land Use Plan Map .or t e airport area recently approved by file Commission and now under consideration by the Board. The revisions in this area consisted of changing some of the "Grazing - Open Land" and "Orchard and Field Crop" designations to "Ru al Residential". E x Re a.dent�.al . f Most of the rezoning; recommended hertz is consistent with that mar; proposals requiring corallary changes in the Lind Use Plan 'tap are two industrial areas along Cohasset Road, a crimmarcial zone Find a public zone oat Highway 90, and moving the southern boundary of the mural. Residential designation clown to Sycamore Creek. Recommended zoning for the airport area is shown on the large map, enclosed, as well as the existing land use. P.ezoni.nn proposals are discussed below, by the appropriate Land lase Plan designation; discussion focuses on the designation criteria and relevant zoning factors from th,o Land Ilse Element`, as V011 as Spea ' criteria. Grazing and Open Land: There art: three large parcels within the area of concern which are in Lind Conservation ! ct agreements and thus designated as ."Grazing a.n�l Open Land". ! ftar considering, parcel sizes and L. C. A. criteria, it is recommended that the two parcels OWneel by Thomasson directly, north of the airport be rezoned' "A-1.601 and the parcel owned by Bennett Ttest of Garner Lane be rationed to "A-40" Rural Residential: most o e t'.le land around tl�e airport is designated Ts "Rural Resp eaitial" because it is level, natural, hazards are minimal, the soil is pooarly ;suited to; crop production, the area is Planning for Chico Airport ;Area Page -11- not served by community water and sewer systems, and access to other services and facilities is reasonably good. The most relevant zoning factors in this area are aircraft noise, the exist- ing parcel sizes and dwelling densities, soil conditions, distance from the airport and industrial uses, and effects on grazing and other adjacent uses. Consistent with Speas' recommendations and the poor insulation dualities of mobile homes, most of the pro- posed zones do not allow this type of dwelling. Assuming the Board approves the Land Use Element revisions now under consideration, the southern boundary of the "Rural Residential" � designation in this area will be a straight east -west lane one- half mile north of :Eaton Road. This linerepresents the northern boundary of urban designations on the Chino area Land Use Plan clap and is nothing more than a larger -scale indication of the general boundary shown on the County -wide Land Use Plan Map of 1971. How- ever, that boundary does not appear to fit the distinctions 'between the designation criteria for "Rural Residential" and "Lew Density Residential". At this time there are no plans to extend service beyond Sycamore Creek for either the City of C,hi,co's server system or California Water Company's domestic water system. Based on that fact and our evaluation of development trends and demands, we recommend that the boundary between urban and rural residential designations be shifted to coincide exactly with Sycamore Creek. and the Sycamore Creek Diversion Channel all the way from Highway 00 east to Bidwell Park. This change in the Land Use Plan_ Map will formalize the significance of a large drainage channel generally recognized as a natural barrier to urban development. The lowest proposed density is the "A-40" recommended for 1575 acres of grazing land east of Cobassett Road, 1100 acres of which is owned by Bechtel and bordered by 11TH -40" zoning on the north and Williamson Act property to the east and west.. The other 475 acres consists of 5'parcels, 2 of about 40 acres in size and 5 over 100 acres. Surrounding',use is currently grazing; however, the 130 acres to the west recently zoned "'SR -3," will probably be developed with large homesites in thu near future. "A-40" is also recommended for about 100 acres of undeveloped land owned by Petersen and Garner just south of the airport. This area consists of the portions of 4 parcels that remain after the City completes its acquisition of a clear zone. The remaining land is proposed for "A-40" because it is mostly within the projected CNEL 60 noise contour, the adjacent land acquired by 'the City will be' leased for agricultural' uses only, and because there will be no road access to Cohasset Road for new development ''A-40"'would have been. proposed for the 250 acres owned by Drake north of Sycamore Creek except that all of the existing lots in the old Bidwell 17th Subdivision are less than 40 acres. The recommended "SR -10" and "A-20" zoning thus reflects the actual size of legal parcels, even though .the land is currently under one owner- ship, now used for grazing and surrounded by other grazing land at present r. Planning for Chico Airport Area Page -12, is ni--nosed 'Cor several areas north or wast of the airport and cast of Hicks Lane, The most intensely developed at and the recent Hagenridge Ranchettes, Keefer Ridge Estates and Eiagenridge Country Subdivisions along Kee Cor Road; of the 41 total parcels only 10 are below three acres in size and about half have been developed with large homes. Because of the recent develop- ment trends in the area and the soil condiition,s two large adjacent parcels are also proposed for 1,SR-3". The existin- rc!sidential area directly north Of the airport is proposed Eor �'SR-3'' because of the above reasons and because of its proximity to the airport industrial area. There are five 2 1/2 acre parcels in this area and seven parcels Of :Five acres or more, 11SR-3'" zoning is also recommended for about 250 acres between the a airport mid -Hicks Lane, Existing d.cvelormen.t consists of :Five dwellings on seven parcels. Development should he limited to a three -acre density due to noise factors, soil conditions and -Che close proximity to airport. activities. A maximum density of one unit per acre is recommend6d for the remainder of the "Rural: Residential', designation, an area of about three square miles. This recommendation is based on the distance from the airport, recent development trends, soil. conditionsand good road access. The ultimate development of this three -square - mile area will go far toward fulfillment of future demands for suburban residences in the Chico area. The 11SR-1" zoning proposed. reflects the recent development trends in the area as well as the low proportion of mobile homes at present, Low Dens it; Residential and ?Medium Density Residential: All of the areaconcern Mur -Sycamore tree- is presently des gnated for residential development at urban densities.

Other "A-2-" areas below Sycamore Creek between Cohasset Road and Highway Op are included in the "North Chico Rezone' project Cor which an tIR is now Prepared, The being pre p proposed toning reflect the extensive existing development and recent trends and are consistentwith °both Speas' recommenAdtions and tt?e present designations on the, Land Use Plan Ptap. An area of abuut 40 acres between Cohasset Road, Sycamore Creek' and the Pleasant Valley Drain- age Ditch was originally included in the "North Chico Rezone" pro - ject but was deleted because it was determined the area was not suitable for urban residential development and thus required a change in the Gen.e,ral Plan designation prior to rezoning. Planning t{ ` Planning; for Chico Airport Area Page -13 - proposals for that area are considered below under thc, "Indust rial" }leading. As discussed earlier, the planning conflict of airpoxt protection versus development on non -prime land is particularly difficult in the 600 acres bounded by Sycamore Creek Diversion Channel on the north and east, Cohasset Road on the west and Lupin Avenue and its easterly extension on the south. 'Based on safety factors and the present and projected noise Levels, particularly the future CNEL "60 and 65 contours, R. Dixon Spear has recommended that about 100 acres be zoned for agriculture and no residences allowed, This area, $peas' Compatible sand Use Zone II P, adjoins the end of the clear zone recently acquired by the City and is restricted in. order to prevent any residential development within an expanded CNFL 65 contour caused by any unforeseen increases in jet traffic In addition, Spear recommends 80 acres for "SR -3" zoning, 220 acres for 11SR-1" zoning, and 200 acres for "S -R" zoning. It is apparent that Speas' recommendations are at odds with the County's present land use designations in the northeast Chico area. Tido boundary between urban and agricultural designations on the Chico General Plan Map is somewhat more consistent with Speas proposals but it must also be pointed out that the area is within the adopted Spheres of Influence for the City and that plans are underway to extend City sewers to this area. Because the poor soils would allow only very lour densities on septic tanks, the City's planning for annexation and setrers enhances the conflict with airport protection. The problem has become more immediate With '}Jan Draket recent submittal to the City of a specific plan for development of a variety of residential and commercial uses on the 560 acres he owns in this area. Implementation of an , approved plan frill, also require later City approval of prezoning, annexation and subdivision. We recommend that the Planning Commission, therefore, not initiate any rezoning or plan changes in the Northeast Chico area at this time. This recommendation is based on the findings that the City Of Chico operates the airport in question, the City initiated and coordinated the FAA grant program tirhich provided Speas' "Air- port Environs Plan"i and the City has the primary responsibility '� .pP p ��o comment,at property. The Count will still .have the o' ortunitg several steps in the or dcterma.n�zt the development of annexed r . review process and, if annexation of Drake -Is property is not approved by the City or LAFCo, can initiate planning proposals for the Northeast Chico area at a later date. Public: The only Public designation on the present land use plan map for the airport itself, We would also recommend Public designation for the odd -shaped ?5 -acre parcel located between Garner Lane and Highway 99 just north of them= intersection. This Land was purchased by the California Department of Transportation a number of years ago to provide 'space for the northerly extension of the Highway 99 freoway and a full interchange with Garner Lane, P1 aniling for Chico Airport Area Page' -l4 However, communications tivith Cal Trans indicate that f1mdjap for this freeway extension is many years off. The Puillic designation would not only allow the extension and interchange but, if the Project were not funded and the land sold off, would also require a future buyer to initiate specific zoning for some type of private use Canlmercial: There are no Commercial designations in the area of concern at present but we believe one area of about 20 acres deserves commercial designation because of its accessible location and existing development. Thearea: consists of nine parcels on the east side of Highway p0 just north of the Esplanade inter- section. Present uses include the sale of farm chemicals, food processing, lumber sales, a ski shop, masonry sales, and an antique "shop. Due to the variety of commercial uses and the hiallway location we recommend a 11C-,2" (General Commercial) zoning along with the 'General Plan "change : ,~ This , area was preri:ously gra ose•d as Commercial in the "Garner-Xeefer Area" project and actuall.v represents the northerly end of the 'Esplanade commercial corridor. Industrial Three small areas are recommended for industrial zoning and designation. The first area is vacant, 15 acres in size, surrounded by airport property on 3 sides and partially by Rock Creek on the north, and is already indicated as "Industrial'! on the Land Use Plan Map. The second area is a 3-00 feet deep strip along three-quarters of a mile of Cohasset Road across from the south end of the airport complex. The three property owners involved applied for "NI -1" zoning on the strap in 1176 but dropped this request pending the outcome of the airport planning project. The land is vacant with poor soil conditions and is separated from, the "SR -3" area to the east by a small bluff. This area should be designated as Industrial because of the road access and dominant adjacent uses and because it does not adequately fulfill the designation criteria :for any other land use category. The third area; recommended for Industrial designation contains. mini- storage units, auto electric service, a plaster contractor, Fas tank repair, two other businesses, two churches and five divelli:lips. The 40 -acre area bounded by Cohasset Road, Sycamore Creel: and the p , Pleasant Valley Drainage Ditch is recommended for industrial use not only because of the existing uses but also because we believe tile airport noise and safety :factors make this a' naor site for any future residential development. Tie three areas Proposed for industrial use above are all adjacent to residential uses and zoning, +'Slt-3" in two cases and several urban residential zones in the other. In order to prevent or ,mitigate the negative effects of noise, smoke, orcins, bright lights etc. oil those residential areas, industrial uses should be limited to those iv}tich are leas t likely to create such impacts. Unfortunately, our present "M( 1" and "ci-2" Zoning classifications', the only zones now consistent with the Industrial category, both allow a variety of storage; processing and assembly uses Ivilich often do have Planning dor Chico Airport Area Page -1 5- significant impacts, We recommend that the Commission consider a new industrial zoning classification somewhat more restrictive than our present The new zone could be called "L -I" (Limited Industrial ) and should allow those types of storage or assembly which da not pro- duce significant noise, odors, smoke, vibration, bright lights or fire; hazard. if the Commission ag,reos that such a zone would be appropriate for the above sites or :for any other industrial area in the County, staff will prepare a complete draft ordinance for your review: W" �S Aft INT Ti - 1111P *01.
