The major, communities in the Craig-Mootet:oWn Ridge Rezone Area include Mixed Evergreen Forest, Foothill Woodland, Mixed Chaparral, Riparian, and bis-turbod. The borders of these major communities are often indistinct, as the communities tend to meet and intermix frequently in the study area. This phenomonon iii common in f-00thill regions and is generally accepted -to be a function of the topography, pre- cipitation and temperature of an area. The pattern is typically one of drought tolerant Vegetation (i.e., Mixed 'Chaparral and sometimes Foothill Woodland) occurinq on hot, dry south exposures$ :chile dense eltands of less !teat -tolerant vegetation (i.e., mixed Evergreen sorest and some Foothill Woodland) is found on the more moderate north exposures. The Craig-Mooratown study area has many examples of this phenomenon occuring in the numerous small canyons and ravines of the area. The resulL is the frequeent intermixing of 'plant communities. The accompanying map illustrates the distribution of the major communities of the area without indicating the minor localized variations. Mixed Ever, -on Forest. gre This community is dominated by dense stands of tall ever- green trees, often with a brushy uhderstory. in the study area, Mixed Evergreen Forest occurs only at the higher elevations on the north slopesi The species which make up this community are legs tolerant of the severe hot and dry conditions found at lower elevations and on south exposures. The trees of this community include Douglas Fir,ponderosa Pine and incense Cedar, which are harvested from this area as commercial timbori Most of the Mixed Evergreen Forest odcUting in the rezone areA hug been at least partially logged, Other trees of the area include California NUtMOg# Madrbnoe Black Oak; and Mountain Dog000d. Many shrubs occur here inclu- ding Poison oak i beer Brush, Buck Brush, Manzanita# Scrub Oak, and currant. Wildflowers present in this community are Wild Ginger, Leopard Lily,, Mit,81bn Bells, and Western Hounds Tongue, FoothillWoodland, Poothill'WoOdland it typified by a dense or open danAPY Of trees with a scattered to dense undot8tOrY Of shrubs, This com- muhity often occurs on deep soiled warm 81OP084 It typically forms buffer between the Mixed t-vergreeh Forest and Mixed chaparral, or occurs on north slopes surrounded by chaparral. App on(lix - B Page - n Trees of the roothill Woodland are Digger Vine, Widely scattered Ponderosa Pine, interior Live Uak, Blue Oak and Calif- orAia Buckeye. Shrubs of the community include Red Bud, Coffee Berry, Duck Brush and Poison Oak. The thick ovorstory Often prevents the development of much herbaceous undergrowth although in clearer areas 1plants such as buttorcups, Hartweglo 1ris and soap Plant can be founci. Mixed Chaparral* mixed Chaparral covets the greatest portion of the Craig- Mooretown study area. This community is characterized by sparse or dense growths of broad-leaved shrubs, integrated with a few trees, and somegrassland species i ' n the open spaces. Plants of this community are well adapted to thehot, dry oonditions of the south exposures, where it is commonly found.. The dominates Of the Mixed chaparral are shrubs such as Manzanita, Buck Brushi Coffee Berry and Poison Oak,. Scattered trees include Digger 'Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Interior Live Oak, -Blue Oak and California Buckeye. The occasional cleared spaces between the woody plants serves as habitat for some grassland species such as aohnny Tuck, Valley Tassels, Lupinost Wild Onion, and a variety of introduced forbes and grasses. Milted Chaparral is well recognized as a fire community, The dry, often dense conditions of the community make it especi- ally prone to summer fires, creating a possible hazard to resi- dents of the area, kiLil.r i an . The Riparian community dOnSiOtO Of the 'narrow strip of water -dependant plants which typically line the banks of flowing waterways. In this study area Riparian species were found along the humorous streams; most of which flow only intermitently. plarits of the Riparian community include cottonwood, White Alderj Wil lowo Wild'Grape, Chain Peen, Wild Rhubarb and various sedges and grassesi Disturbed areas common to the Craig-MootetbWh rezone area include roads, housing areas, logged areas, anT areas which have been cleared for the purpose Of grazing domestic live stack. The effect of such disturbances on the native vegetation Varies from minor modification of species composition to total elimina- tion of native teprosohtabive8s in addition# 'there are secondary affects including animal habitat 1688 and increased soil erO!jion, B 2 { Plant composition of disturbed areas is highly variable depending on the location and nature of the disturbance, The p illustrates es only areas of severe disturbance. Disturbed areas which still shots t:he characteristics of a. major community are 'mapped as that community. Rare and Endangered Plants. A check of suspected rare plant habitats revealed no rare or endangered plant species. The scope of the survey did 'not allow a comprehensive rare plant search, however, and the lAck of known locations should not be interpreted to mean that no ware plants occur in the area. Plants suspected to occur in this area include; Arabis breweri var. austinae Clarkiamildrediae Clarkia mosquinii ssp, mosqu .ni *Clarkia mosquini.i ssp. x ophila F tillaria piZaeanthera SIdalcea rohusta Future developments in the area should be preceded by a site search for these plants possi",,l.y extinct , B w ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT$ The environmental impacts associated with the re0oning of ra.g-Mooretown Ridgeare related to the resulting development or the area. AS it is difkicult to estimate the total sizer and tyttes of development which will occur in the area, it is also aifi:icult to estimate the extent or severity or the possible a:mpacts. Tne severity of these impacts will depend on the final density, dos'gn and spacial distribution of all future develop- ments in the azez . potential Impacts. The ,potential: impacts are as follows: 1, toss of habitat for plant and animal species. 2`. Increased probability of wildfires arra a corresponding increase in potentia.L econti ;licloss as grower b continues in the area. 3,. Lo8s of the natural biological ch&racter of the area. secondary imp4cts of vegetation removal are as followgv 1. Erosion of surface and subsurface soil, strata,. a. resulting in increased. sediment load for nearby streams and lakes. bi resulting in possible effects on aquatic Eaanaj compositioni r� i3 -» 4 s UGGES` I1 D MITIGATIONS 1. Areas of sensitivity should be identified. Parameters of such sensitive areas should be as follows'. a. erosion - a function Of a. sit>pe b. soil stability' c precipitation b. sensitive animal habitats. C. sensitive plant habitats. d. areas of high fire potential - Larger lots si 2es should be required for those areae which are determined to be sehsiti,ve for any of these parameters. 2. The sensitivities of an area should be considered prior to construction so that compata;ble designs can be planned into proposed projects.

TIM CRAIG-MOORTOWN RIDGE AREA The Graig-MOOretown Ridge area has been greatly modified by man's activities. Early logging operations and the creation of take Droville have made significant changes in the plant and animal populations. While there has been a reduction in species which are highly intolerant of man's presence, other species have increased in numlaerst including many rodents$ black -tailed mule deer, small carnivores, valley quail and a variety of small birds that prefer the mixture of Oak -Woodland, mixed conifers, Chaparral and open grassland. Lake oroville provides a constant water supply, further increasing species who depend union a regular water supply and tolerate low intermittent disturbance by man,. The blooretown Ridge deer herd is estimated to contain approxi- mately 5000 animals. The general area is an important overwinter- ing area. Increased development in the area, with lot sizes as small as 2 acrest will have a significant adverse impact upon this game ,Vecios4 As increasing amounts of veger..Ation are removed, deer that normally shelter and feed in this area will be displaced to adjoining areas. Since those areas are also experiencing more intensive use by ,man, or are at o1 near their carr;ring capacity, the Mooretown Ridge herd w411 be reduced to below 1000 animals The reduction will not be sudden or dramatic but will occur over several years with starvation, disease► increased fawn lmortalty, spontaneous abortions, domestic dog packs, dna automobile kills being the uta or causes of death. There will also be an increase in poaching and in requests por clepredation permits to j6rotQct gardenst orchards and landscaping. Appendi% = 0 Page '1 Vegetation remoVal and continuous human uSo Will also reduce brush rabbits jackrabbit, grey squirrol and ring -tail cat popula- tions. There will be increased contact between small carnivores, and humans and their house pets, increasing{ the possibility of rabies transmission to humans. Small carnivores, such as syunks' I y - foxes, racoons and coyotes will be attracted to homesites because of the presence of garbac.; o end pet food outside the homes. target carnivores, such as mountain lions and black bear will persist in the general vicinity, occasionally entering developed areas: Any introduced livestock could attract these large preda+-ors,. Black bears could become a nuisance species, requiring trapping and ` y movement to a dt. stain site, or be killed. Birds are *;tore mobile than most mammals and species less tolerant of development can more easily move to other areas. Ono rare and endangered spec:les" - - 1. ., the southern bald eagle Haliaeetus le'ucoce,Dhalus occurs in the area. At Least one pair has maintained a nest in the rezone area for sevetil years. A second nest has been xeportedj but whether it represents a second bald eagle terri tory, or is a second nest of the known pair has not been detorMIne4,. Ground dwelling birds, such as quail, and those which nest 1." j n and around homestes, will be subject to increased predation e from domestic or feral housecats and to :increased disturbance by humans. other speciesr more adaptable to man's presence, will .n crease. These include, blackbirds+ housefi.nchesr robins, humming- birdst swallows and a Variety of seedeaters: These birds may increase to the point of dependence upon. Man for a significant portion of their food 0 i Intensive development could have an indirect advorae effect upon fish in Lake orovl,lle and its headwaiter streams. Increased Siltation due to erosion of cleated lands could reduce or elimin- ate the spawning areas for Rokanee salmon and the feeding sites fox Brown and Rainbow trout in Sucker Run Creek. The moderate to high erosion potential of most of ;:he rezone area, could produce silting in other creeks and in the shallow areas of Lake Oroville adjacent to areas being developed. ,Most reptile, amnhLbian and .invertebrate species in the area would also be affected. Tl--- extent and severity of the effects would depend capon the type and extent of development. IMPACTS AND SUGGESTED MITIGATIONS 1. Major development, with lot sizes down to 2 acres will significantly impact wildlife. A. The mooretown Ridge deerherd (est. 5000 aninals) will be reduced by 80% or more. S: A nesting pair of the rare ,and endangered Southern Sald dragle will be deplaced or eliminated. C. Increased erosion could eliminate the fall spawning of xokaneo Salmon and reduce or eliminate feeding areas for Brown and Rainbow trout. Mitigations; 1. t-4odify zoning proposal to cluster development, leaving larger areas of little or no development. 2. Aestri.ct development on the perennial streams and, adjacent to the state recreation area of Lake Oroville. 3. Require revegetation or other erosion control methods on all new :load cuts and graded areas, PERSONS AND ORGANIZATIONS CONSULTED California Department of Fish and Game James Snowden, Wildlife Biologist: John Hi:scox, Fishery Biologist REFERENCES Berger, Thomas J. and John D.

Status: &,dangered. Historically, bald eagles nested in abundance on Channel Islands and along coast; present nesting limited to Sierra 'Nevada, Cascade and Klamath mountains. Aeasons for decline includo shooting by irresponsible persons; removal of nest treeo and human encroachment into nesting and fooding areas; environmental pollution and con- taminatioxi of food chain by persistent pesticides. 2. American Poregrine Falcon (FleAlco-perogrinus anattit) Description siZednbluegraydhawk with long pointed wings. Distinguished from other falcons by its black cap and black cheek patches. Tho prairie falcon is much browner and has a streaked breast.- Diistributioft,-* The American peregrine - extinct as a breeding bird east of the Rocky Mount- Aino - bred in California along the coast, Channel and in higher motmtairicl inland. In the 1940's tho breeding bird population was 100 pairs; in 1970 this populrttion declined to 10 birs, of which P pairs produced 4 young, Statu8t Endangered. Mortality exceeds recruitment. Food chain contamination by persistent Post' cider and obhor contaminants, illegal taking by falconers, human di oturauco, and occasional shooting are eontrlbuting to its decline.

Sept. 1$, 1969 At a public hearing before; the Butte County Planning Commission,, the plan raas presented and discusrjed. The plan was received positively and we were given verbal assurance then that the plan looked attractive and the development would be an asset to the community. W,,_> Later received a letter stating the site was approved for the commercial uses we had proposed, and use permits were granted where needed (drive-in restaurant and service station) for the initial development. Feb. Z9, 1970 in a public hearing, presentation of the engineered plans to the Planning Comwission. Result was approval of proposed development plans. 1970=72. Development work commenced on the 16 acres when the weather was dry, enough, contractorscouldbe scheduled and capitai was available, Two water we:`,ls were drilled (per County specifications), a water tank installedr underground water line and power lines were installed to State of California standards for commercial and mobile home parks. This provided water and undergrotnd power for tho entire propetty and was i,rnspected by Mr. VarlHart and Mr. Overhouse of Butte County. Extensive cleanup of derelict buildings was also donor soil.reclamation, grading and roads were constructed to tie the property together.

Closed for winter. a August 1974 Planning Commission presented map of CMR area at a public meeting which showed the subject property as "commercial." Th•Ls .resignation was welcomed by Doris springer and CMR neighbors. We ]snow the County's intent to zone the property commercial from this meeting and from at least two other discussions with Mr. Lawson (then Planning Director) that the zoning map would be corrected and -this would be reflected in the next revision of the General Plan'. We can only assume it an oversight that the commercial designation did not: get into the General, Man, or perhapts it is because the General Plan hasn't been revised-. (Notes the General Plan doesn't give much guidance either way and doesn't show an of the commercial activities on T,umpkin Road, including that in Feather Falls village and at the Goldflake_.) 1975 Operated by lessee April, through November (lease was terminated clue to illness of lesuee) 1.976-78 While out of California on company assignment, we have been trying to find a suitable lessee who would operate a high quality facility.

J. Lawson, Planning Director, Butte County This letter is to follow up our conversation on August 8 on ce history of subject parcels regarding zoning and also serves generally to redocument the statements made at the Butte Cot by Board of 8upervisors' meetings on March 14y June 1:3 and again on August 8, 1.978, At these times and now, we are requesting that (a) the subject parcels be designated "commercial" for zoning purposes (con:; %Jtent with the intent expressed by the Butte County Board of. Supervisors, Planning Commission, and staff since 1965 and as operated by us and lessees), and (b) these parcels be specifically shown as commercial on rhe next revision of the 1972 General Plan, (and an interim memo be issued that the General Plan will be so changed, if suds a memo is necessary to support the requested zoning now). The enclosed chronology (attachment A) outlines some of the mote significant steps taken by us in planning and developing the 16+ subject acres for commercial use. It also indicates the steps taken in planning, building and operating the Lakepine Center (as the first phase of a four-phase plan for the! 16+ acres). The encouragement and consistent intent expressed by the County to consider positively commercial zoning (Whenever the area would be zoned from A-2) has induced tis to go ahem with substantial investments to date and we await clarification prior to investing additional money in this property. As you know; the general zoning initiative for the area by the CMRTA has been going on for 4' years. Subject land is a small part of this area (about P of 1% of the 'land area) ► Our request to obtain commercial zoning has been pending for over seven years and we have beer► told twice that the assignment of commercial zoning will, take plado when the aZea is zoned from A-2 generally. As you can see, our project for the subject property has been open to public scrutiny and dlsou8slon for years with no problem, and the County has approved our dire(�tion by Planning (Messrs. Walsh and Lawson), Public; Works (Clay Castlebierry) , Environlmental Health (Lynn 'vanHart) j by the Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors. So it's no, something new, and we think that, although the property L, not ,peer fically identified in the General Plan, it is an oversight ar Mr. Dan Blockstock "2— August 12, 1978 because the General Plan hasn't been revised since 1572, We request (a) your help in causing the General, Plan to be revised viz. a, viz. our longstanding request, and (b) the County-'s help in assigning the commercial zoning without further follow through on our part.

A loiter), I would like to point out. that throughout the past 6' to 7 years of activity there and hearings as discussed in the Ref. A letter, we have never experienced any adverse comment or opposition to commercial property in that area On August 10 during the Board of Supervisors hearing on the CMR zoni.rv�j proposal, we heard a couple of adverse comments from the"opposition"to the proposed zoning because (a) the 16 acres represented too much of the area being zoned (0.3%) and (b) the "neighbors wero against it." It is important to note, that the adverse comments came from (a) two members of the,opposition"'who live between 5.:8 miles up the hili. from Lakepine Center and (b) ftom a hired Chico attorney. So we do 2r•t consider them particularly qualified to speak for the nearby residents or landowners. Becatse of these comments of the August 10 meeting, we personally sent out a questionnaire to a number of immediate neighbors to obtaNn current attitude from them. Copiesofthe return responses are enclosed from these parcels which are almost all within a 1 -mile distance from Lakepine Center: The results of this survey ont::otia:aged us and 'underlined Abe ;teed for planned. commercial development (as 'well as refitted the negative com- men+: s made on August 1.0) 4 Sincerely, Conrad A.
