4. Water Resources: Due to the high rooinr ation levels
sources in the form of large streams, many roservoia°.s' an
extensive irrigation and canal system, and a permaaent
ground water supply in the valley. The F-ather Rivet and
the Sacramento River are the key ,suppl_y el,emen.ts in enot -
mous grater projects providing for agricultural irrigation
and domestic uses in distant parts of the State. Local, use
of our water .resources by re8iO:t...tts, industry and recrea-
tion is growing steadily. As the County grows, the poten-
tial. also increases for degradation of water resources
through pollution and erosion-oedimen.tation
Policy
a. Maintain quantity -and quality, of water resources
adequate for all uses in the County.
b. Support water development projects needed to supply
local demands
c. Control development in watershed aveas to minimize
d. Require proof of adoquate water supply f
erosion and water_ pollution..
f or all new
development.
e. conservation of water and siierr*y will be considered
in approving plans for new dovoLopment.
f. 'Exercise constant vigilance in tho protection against
export of our ground watov supply.
5. Air. Resources..The relatively h, gh quality of air ro,sources
which has attracted people to Butte County is _gradual=ly;
being affeoted by that growth. Clri.matic Variables and the
surrounding mountains create a significant potential for
air pollution in the oritire 'Saavamento Valj,oy. Pollution
problems are com`�usti on by-praduots PCOM, Vehin os and
such stationary' sources as bU:I inibg 'of rico stubble'and
other wastee, space heating, industry. and power plants.
Air,pollution ion can not only damage human health- and impair'

less, the residual deposits left by hydraulic acrd barge
min-
ing,operations have become a major mineral resource in their
own right. The processing of sand, gravel and other 16uild.ing
materials is currently the only large scale commercial mining
activity in the County, although potentials do exist for fu-
ture development of limestone, clay, silica. sand and some
metals.
Pol:cv
a. Encourage extraction and processing of identified
deposits of building materials and other valued
mineral resources.
b. Encourage the reclamation of lands subject to
mineral -extraction,
Ener�,,;y' Resources; The County's natural supply of combust -
ib el fossil. fuels appears very, limited at this time, consist-
ing of several small 'underground deposits ,of natural gas
along the County's western boundary. With numerous power -
plants operated by the Department of water Resources, Pacific
Gas and Electric and the Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation
District, the hydroelectric ;.c resources of the Feather Fiver
and its branches are among tho largast and most developed
in California. This method of pourer generation provides
clean, inexpensive ar±d reliable alectric power for the
entire grid system as well as Substantial empl.oyn(,Iht' income,,
property taxes and revenuesfrom poorer salts.

2. Densities- The distribution of County population and the
needs for public, services and facilities is lar.e:1y deter'
mined by the densities of residences in different areas of
the County. Density is also important in its offect on: the
quietness, "elbow root" and overall quality of housing situ
ationse The intensity of res:.dential devolopment is related
to a number, of factors, inclu ng the natural capabilities `
of, property, the availability -P 'public facilities, the. value
of property and proposed dwe:l.liiig units, and the developing

4. :Private 'Utility Linea: Most of the County obtains oleotrical
power and telephone service from large companies whose regu--
ration is almost totally in the hand; of the State Public .
Utilities Commission. similarly, the County has very little
control over the non--governmental sr toms which provide do-
mestic water service to the entire Chico urban area, part of
the Oroville urban area and several smaller communities. It
is obvious, haiOver, that the location of these private, util
ity lines affects the timing and pattern 'of. neer development.
Policy.
a. Encoura o expansion of private utility systems consis-
tent with Coanty plans and policies.

C. Relate land.use to designated school sites.
7. Fire Stations and Other Public Buildink-s:• The average time
needed to rsspond to fire calls depends largely on road ac-
cess and the location of fire fighting equipment and per-
sonnel. More than 20 stations providing ymar-round protec-
tion to valley areas are operated by the County, the ,four
cities and two independent districts. Most foothill and
mountain areas are served by community volunteer comp4nies
and seasonally by the State Division of Forestry and U.S.
Forest Service. These government agencies and others ser-
ving this area require many offices, meeting rooms, garages,
parking lots, storage areas and other structures. The
efficient arrangement of these facilities and their location
in proximity to the ,population served can maximize the level
of service and minimize public costs.
a.Locatenow fire stations a
� - tions wit�Y consideration to access- '
ibility, future development and natural fire hazards.
b. Encourage central and convenient locations for all
government buildings consistent with land use plans.
c: Encourage central and convenient locations for hospitals,
meeting halls, private schools and other quazl -public
uses.
8. Solid and Tiouid Waste Disrosal Pacilitiea: The management
and disposal of solid and liquid wastes i8 closely monitored

G. ENVIROX'MENTAL PRESERVATION
1. Quality of Environment: The relatively low intensity of
land use in much of the County has created a generally
safe and pleasant living and. working environment. Many
types of land u.so, especially some commercial and Indus-
txial activities, can be detrimental -to the health and
safety of nearby residents and wullke ;s. However, the
blighting ef�"ects of many "objectionable" uses can be mini
mined by requiring 'suitable locations and ;mitigating dei
sign measures,
Policy,:
a. Maintain public health and safety by requirini ;
proper location and de,.igri for uses with offensive ;
odors, dusty ,smoke, light, traffic � vibration, ex
ploaives,, pollutants,, ixa_sects and similar blighting
influences
2. Noise The detrimental effects of noise i;o a subject of

D. COORDINATION OF FIFO
I CITY MuINING ACTIVITIES: The four civies in Butte County
have much the same plannitS and zoning powers as the County,
including developing general plans for areas beyond their
jurisdiction boundaries if theneed is apparent. . The actual
enforcement of zoning axed subdivision regulations, however,
is limited to areas within current boundaries of each real
spective jurisdiction. Consequently, neither the County or
cities,maintain absolute authority to implement their
general, plans throughout their planning areas. The obv� ous
need for city -county cooperation in the development and
implementation, of plans is made even more apparent by the
Tact that almost one --third of Butte County's residents now
reside within city boundaries, another third live in aaja.

Although it is uncertain at this time which financing approach will
be most efficient in the Chico urban area, the connection charge'

The result is waste: waste of land,. particularly vaiu-
able agricultural land; waste of older cities and suburbs;
waste o' air, water and other natural resources; waste of
energy; waste of time spent in commuting; and, in the long
run, a vast waste of money,
Future urban development should be determined with pur-
pose, not solely by chance. Cities and suburbs should pro-
vide .a productive and human environment for all: for the
poor, the old and the disadvantaged, as well as those better
able to protect their own .ntere; t;,

California, like other states, Nis dale+gatod the day-to-
day management of urban affair;i to cities, counties, special
districts and regional councils of governments0. The princi-
pal, direct responsibility for arldrr.;r4;.ng urban problerns
Should remain in their hands, but the state has an obligation'
to establish overall goals, In addition, tl`ie state has a
direct responsibility for air and water quality and a substan-
tial investment in California's urban areas, Over the years,
the state has participated in the construction of streets,
schools, highways, hospitals, sewer and water systems, and
asks. And many urE an problems aria .beyond the poviers of atiy
one level of government to solve. An intergovsrnmehtal proc-
ess of planning for Califotjio'S future is needed to deal
with those problems,
This Urban Strategy Is dos.gnad to tie. carried jorijt by CI
partnership of the state, local-governmErtt, rogion al agencies,
citizens arra the private sector, The lbrim;ary role in that
effort properly belongs to local governments, working together,
through their regional councils of government, The role of,
the state should be one of leader and catalyst,working with
local government, regional organizations and private enter-
prise to give direction to California's urban growth and
development.
