Nick Garcia. Mr- Garcia agreed with Mr. Blake and Mr. Corvallo. Ile felt there had bodn a major change in the map the last two weeks. Ile has been told it was just a policy change and fits the criteria of the text. 110 felt -that this was a drastic change. lie felt this map would oncourage growth -to the rich Production lands of the county and discourage growth in the nonproductive areas Of the county. Under the original Proposal I'lir, P"OPOVtY WAS Placed under orchard and field OrOP. Ile opposed this placement. Ile had tho agreement of every Commissioner that this was bad grazing land. Everyone on the Planning Commission.agreed that the best uoo for his prolifty was rural -residential. Up until -the last meeting, he thought -that- his p=roperty was at lGmt in rural residential. Now with the ohaneos his property is in three categories. He was told that the reason :for the changes was that they followea -the natural boundaries. The three different categories do not follow any natural boundaries. Ile hoped that this would be sent back for more input from the public. He wanted to know what his lands best use and wliat catogory it will be placed in. Thio plan if; completely unworkable. A SuPervicor Winston stated that there have been 14 hearings On this matter. As far as he was concerned the Board war going to make a decision on the Plan. Ile did not think it should be 0ant back to the Planning Commission. Supervisor Wheeler stated that all the testimony has been given to the Board. Before she makes a decision she will go through thq 1 -!an and apply 11 , it to the individual needs. Mr. Garcia stated that the majority of his lana falls in the 40 acre minimum category. 110 wondered if this requirement would be retained. 6. Cecil Johnson. Mr:. Johnson stated that it was his intention to place 60% of about 5tO00 acres of land into an estate for the benefit Of the community and charity. lie stated that he was amazed at the chagess that were to be presented to the Planning Commission. It seems as though the protection of the green belt is being done away with. Ile felt that everything should be done to protect the viable farmland in the county. All of the people he has contacted regarding the new Nap do not like it. One thine that should be considered is -that the size of parcels will be dictated in accordance with the slope and other Properties such ass Percolation that would permit dovelopment4 Ile felt that the minumum requirement for marginal land should be taken out of the Plan. Mr* Johnson spoke regarding grazing land,. Grazing land roprenents about 56% of the total land under consideration. The income doveioped from this land is $qoo,000 which represent - a1 roy-imately 6/10 of 174 of the total agricultural income. There is 6�l %olpl the range land that is not capable of grazingo If the county denies the use Of land in this area the land that is not'viable for grazing there will be problems. This is a clear case of inverse condemnation* With this land restricted to any kind of division , it is less than worthless. lie Selt that home8iteo should be developed on this property. Pnap iLA Mr. CrQninger stated that if the Map is adopted there will be the criteria of rural residential versus open grazing* He wondered if person would have to come in for an amendment 311 their property did not fit the 40 acre minimum. Supervisor Winston stated that before the map is adopted, they will be looking vqry carefully at it. Mr. Ringel as%ad what the procedure was for having his property changed? lie will talk with Planning Counsel and EnVironmenta], Health. Chairman Lemke recommended that the hearing be continued to give the Board time to look into all requests that have been made to consider the changes requested and consider thetotal: concept of the changes. ?. Jerry Beckholt. lie felt that it was aliout time that people stand up and preserve agricultural land. He did not feel that grazing land soils should be preserved. To adolt the map would be to preserve grazing and destroy vina loam soils. 8. Louise Ahart. Ms. Ahart felt that grazing was important. She felt that planning was important. She is fighting development among the grazing area. She felt that development should be placed near i e cities and not out in the farming community. Mr. Galicia agreed with Ms. Ahext that there was a need for grazing. Ile did not feel, however, that the area should be zoned to -a 40 acre minimum parcel. Ile felt that as growth continued people should be encouraged to move toward that area. He felt that the Williamson Act was fair because it gave people the choice regarding their property. Mr. Johnson endorsed Mr. Garcia's comments. If the Board does consider tho Crazing 1,an(j, and all, of his proporty is above the IsOOO foot elevation, the production of the land has d-Jiminiriliod to a Point of no return. A person could not give tho land away. If the Board consider's a viable use of the land to dovolop, tbe e increasing the tax base. #.' Supervisor Winston stated that perhaps it would be possible to focus on the arecis of agreement. He did not detect any objection to the designation of the Williamson Act land in the western Butte County being included in Orchard and neld crop. 110 wondered whether timber growth zonoo were considered with the timber desi M-ation. Mr. Brooks stated that they wore. One of the things at a staff 10VOI, wa,0 the COWid(,Iration of tho p'Lcnn(_- withill grazing, anon IrAnd and timber lo d area clusLor concept land.

He noted that a telegram had been received from Bruceteil, Giler, Osser, Fresco and Shames, owners of "Section 23 on Lake Oroville", objecting to the change from Rural Residential to Open and Grazing. He also read a letter from Butte County Farm Bureau, Gerald M. Geiger, President, requesting that the Commission recommend a minimum of Rural Residential to the Board. He added that,based upon discussion with Counsel and subsequent research, it appears that of the parcels now in process there is a vested right with tentative approval, but *Oithout tentative approval. the COurtty would have no recourse except to deny a project that comes up for hear- ing after the Land Use Mapoand Element are adopted, At this point, 8:45 P . M.) Chai, rmar. Wheeler declared a 5 minute recess to give people a chance to look at the new map. The meeting was reconvened and the hearing opened to the public. Opponents: Bill Geddis stated (475) that he alone had 3 subdivisior. applications an process for many months --applications on which environ- mental impact reports had been required. He stated that the County may have no legal obligation to these applicants but there is certainly a moral obligation. He added that if the areas designated for mural, Residential, 1 to 40 acre parcels, can meet the guidelines for develop- ment that the Rural Residential designation has no meaning one way or the other. He asked that all applications currently on file be given special consideration. Cecil Johnson, 18207 Santa Cecil,a, Fountain Valley, Ca. said (15-1-15) that of- 5 000 acres that he owns and another 1700 in which he has in interest only about 150 acres now remain in Rural Residential since the map was changed. He asked that all his property north of Cohasset be placed, back in the Rural Residential category. Don Blake,, realtor of 1891 Robinson Street, Oroville questioned (105) that the southeastern part of the county should be placed into a designation that has a 40 -acre minimum because the soil has no agri- cultural value --that it would. be much more realistic to allow development such as that which would be allowed under Rural Residential. 6- -I -a-Y 7 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - September 12, 1979 Russ Cronin er, with Riegel F Associates, echoed the comments of Bill GJe c s anT-commented that there are many spots within the Opon Grazing designation that should be considered Rural Residential. He a1:so asked that the words "lot splitting" be stricken from Page 21, Line 21, of the Land Use Element text, and added that there remained too many discretionary items to be handled by the Department heads. Joe Vandervoot, 2854 Olive Highway, attorney representing Charles Gow; Richter Bros., Dave Mathews and other property owners in the Oregon-. Gulch -Oregon City area., asked that this matter be continued two weeks in order to permit him to become better informed as to what is happening to his cli.entst properties. It is his understanding that several. Properties have been bisected by th.e land use designation lines on the new map. Dave Mackey, 655 Nelson Avenue, Oroville, expressed concern about, his property on Stringtown Road on which there is a. pending application for a subdivision. Nichplas Garcia, 3300 Grubbs Road, Oroville, (15-1-436) stated that his 1712 acres are now designated in three different categories on this new ma and again set forth his reasons why all his holdings should carry the Rural Residential designation. Forest Scntt, 5313 Clyde Court, Sacramento, said that he had talked to Me planning staff and his questions had been answered satisfactorily: Ann Rood, Route 1 Box 427 Chico along Highway 32 and and that presented rmedjust on rwhat ethe estatus of the Highway 32 area is with regard to the General Plan and zoning. Louis M. Duncan, 4319 Mori Way, Carmichael, said that the best land in the state is being butchered into 5 -acne parcels and asked that his 380 acres of 3rd class land in the Dunston -Bangor Park area be placed in the Rural. Residential category; Dan Hays, 755 Eastwood Ave., Chico, asked that his 3 -year-old proposal of r zoning to M-1 in the area of the Chico Airport be allowto by designating the area. Industrial on the Land Use Map. Heed dpthatd Agricultural land should bepreserved and that the areas to the east and northeast of Chico should be allowed to develop in a I to 40 acre category with each parcel standing on its own merits. Ken Brown, 5225 Miners RAnch Road, Oroville, real,tor of Oroville, said (374) that what everybody wants is 5 acres as opposed to 40 acres said is the minimum of the Open and Grazing designation. Steven. Silverman expressed (400) concern about the park in Sandy Gulch on the north bank of Barg Chico Creek that is now leased to CARD --a particular concern as to effects that the approval of "Highland Park" will have.

Cecil Johnson. seconded (0'00) the remarks of Dan Hays and said that the proposecT —map is totally unacceptable—adding that he had already spent upwards of $80,000 in preparation for development of his properties but that applications were not in process. Nick Garcia said that the first land use map that was sent to the Board was good, but now the people have been misled by the criteria, `Thb-hearing was closed. Commissioner Bennett said that there is no way this`'will ever be resolved ---lacking the wisdom of Solomon; which we do not have --to give everybodyLwhat they want. In order to get this thing off of dead center everybody in this room has to recognize that the .Board of Supervisors has the final decision and they are going to have hearings -- public hearings, on, this. Those of you that have disagreements can still go to the staff with your problems and describe the. You will have a chance to appear before the Board once they consider this whole thing. And I think, that in view of all the agonies we have gone thru for two years, I'd like to propose, by resolutuon, that this map be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors. His motion was seconded by Commissioner Lambert. AYES; Commissioners Bennett, Gilbert_, Max, Lambert and Chairman Wheeler. NOES: No one. ABSENT: No one. Motion carried, Staff was also instructed to suggest that the Board set the priorities for study of different areas as has been previously set out, and to give consideration to the concerns expressed about how to handle existing projects in process.

It is the position of staff that this would be more in line with map revision policies established in the new Land. Use Text section which outlines The Implementation Program for Map Revisions. "Secondly, in a. later memo, dated August 7, 1 Outlined a broad program for Land Use Map revisions for whole communities to be followed after adoption of the Land Use Map for the rural, areas. "Prior to adjo%irnment of tonight's meeting, we would like to receive some direction from your Commission on these two points. "At the July 25th hearing numerous individuals- spoke on the Rural Residential question. Much of the oppositi.on to the Rural, Residential designations stemmed from an apprehension that the wide range of parcel densities (l t6 40 acres) would result in Rural. "Suburbanizati:on" of the rural areas with one acre Lots Although the staff is confident that the zoning designation criteria contained in the new text would preclude development at such densities, we have spent a great deal of time since the last hearing examining file General Plan Site Designation Criteria contained in the new text in an a.t- tempt to improve the informatiun,available to the Commission which might aid in your deliberations. Since the most difficult questions seem to concern the extent of Rural: Residential as opposed to either Grazing and Open Land and Timber Mountainous designations, we specifically concentrated on these. Now, this Cold) map does not contain certain criteria listed in the new text which really ought to be considered. If we turn our attention for a moment to Page 4.8 of the new text, under Rural, Residential Site Designation Criteria, there are certain criterion which are ignored by the (old) map: Number 3 Less than 30% slope. Number 5: Adjacent or,near to existing roads and necessary utilities. "On the other hand, if we look at the Site Designation Criteria for Grazing and Open Land on Page 46, the criterion seem to relate well to some of the areas shown on the map in yellow Number 2: Average parcel sizes of 40 acres or more Number 34 Used for grazing and secondary uses Number 4: Adjacent uses conducive to livestock grazing. "And again, under Timber Mountainous Site Designation Criteria on Page 47, we again find the criteria of average parcel sizes of 40 acres or more. "So, one of the factors we have examined is parcel sizes for the areas -10.

In response to a question From Jack Malin, Durham, Commissioner Bdnnett explained that the interim zone covering the South Chico Area would likely be extended so that it would not lapse October 10. Mr. Van Duzen, Route 1, Box 184-, owner of 380 acres which has been in his family since 1894, asked that the plan permit him to have parcels from 1 to 40 acres for the whole acreage, It was explained to Mr. Van Duzer that sucha designation would not appear to conform -to 'the criteria contained in the new Land Use Text for Rural Residential.
