Industrial development would obstruct emergency
response or evacuation movements only if access
to the site were limited to one point.
:industrial development could affect population
growth in several ways. The most direct effect
would. be to discourage residentia development
of nearby properties which might be subject to
other environmental impacts. Themost mnortanth
effect might be to increase the p p
rate of the entire community for a short period
if industrial workers moved to oroville from
other communities. population

businesses which provide services to industrial,
uses or employees:.
Because of the large size of the site
andiilie
the
amount of land devoted to roads,
rail and Wyman Ravine, the number of employees per
acre on the site is expected to be relativelyely
low_ Nonetheless, the ratio of employees

employees) to 5 per acre (1,800 employees).
There is no way to refine that estimate much
further because of -the wide range of allowed.

The most significant impacts on the public street
system would occur if access were developed to
Lone Tree Road, Palermo Road or Railroad Avenue
from.the main part of the site west of the rail-
road and north of Wyman Ravine. All three routes
would take traffic through agricultural or resi-
dential areas and over substandard streets or
undeveloped rights-of-way which would have to be
developed to high standards for industrial use
Palermo Road is a good -quality truck route which
could handle; additional traffic but Lone Tree
Road, Railroad Avenue-, Kusel Road, Messina Avenue,
Occidental Avenue and JVyman Avenue all would need
rebuilding if proposed for heavy industrial traffic_
The impacts of developing new high-quality roads on
surrounding areas could. bc� „14_tti.gated by requiring
an access road from Ophir Road to the west side of
the site. This road could then be connected
through the site to Baggett-Palermo Road, forming
a continuous loop with two connections to Ophir
Road., No road crossings of Wyman Ravine or the
railroad would be be required.
If direct rail service to the site were devloped,
freight traffic on the Western Pacific Railroad
would definitely increase. Industrial develop-
ment of the site could also generate additional
aircraft operations at Oroville Municipal Airport,
Increased traffic and required road improvements
could create traffic hazards for motor vehicles
and pedestrians, particularly at intersections
of main roads and wherever industrial traffic is
routed through residential areas. Left turn

carpooling, a cafeteria or other on-site services
could all reduce employee trips.

Any industrial development would be required to

recreate a hazard which the County, railroad and
Public Utilities Commission removed. Such a grade
crossing existed for many years where Baggett
Palermo Road. now ends, but the Public. Utility
Commission gave the County money in 1980 to
develop Railroad Avenue from. Palermo to Kusel
Roadas a replacement route so the grade cross-
ing Lould be removed. Any new grade crossings
would require approval by both the Public
Utility Commission and the railroad, and,
according to County Public Yorks Staff, such.
approvals are very unlikely in this case.
14..(a.) Fire protection is now provided by the County
Fire Department, with their nearest stations
located in Palermo and on. Nelson Avenue_ Upon
annexation the City Fire Department would be
requiredto: provide first response, but the
County could be called upon for back-up assist-
ance under the mutual aid agreement in effect.
The City's new Police -Fire Facility, which
should: be operational- in early 1983 is located
on Lincoln Street near Mitchell Avenue in the
center of the City about four miles from the
site. Because response times to the site and
nearby industrial areas would not be adequate
for industrial development, the "ity plans to
build. a fine station in the Ophir Road area.
When the area north of the site was annexed to
the City in 1981, an approved mitigation measure
for the M-2' prezoning was to build such a
station by 1986..
14-(b-)
Industrial development of the site would increase
the need for police protection patrols in the
area, traffic surveillance and responses to acc-
dents, burglary and other crimes. Additional
police department staff may be needed if the site
and nearby industrial areas are developed.
The impact on local school district enrollments
will depend on the: number of new families whikh
move to Oroville and when they arrive. Accord-
ing to local estimates, each 50 new families
could be expected to contribute an average of
22 elementary students and 3 high school stu-
dents. If we contin.Le to assume that site
development could bring anywhere from 50 to
1,000 new families to the community, those fami-
lies would contribute from 22 to 430 elementary
students and 3' to 63 high school students. The
higher estimates would constitute a significant
impact if all new residents arrivedin a fairly::
short period. This impact could be partially
mitigated by notifying the districts as soon as
possible about, projected in -migration from speci-
fic development proposals so that they could.
initiate necessary changes; in their programs or
facilities
The higher estimates for school enrollment would
also be significant if new residents were all
concentrated in one area.. For reasons of proxi-
mity to the site and community services, it can
probably be assumed that most of the new residents
would live in the Oroville and Palermo Elementary
School Districts. Concentration of many new resi-
dents in any one portion of either district might
require more bussing of students or installation
of ten;porary classrooms. This impact could be
mitigated by fees paid to school districts by
developers of residential.or industrial uses or
by encouraging dispersal of new residents_
17(a b.); Potential Health hazards related to industrial
development have been discussed at, length in many
of the above comments Those hazards include air
r pollution, water pollution, floods, noise, fire,
explosion and. poisoning.
Staff is not aware of any community sentiment that
this site is of great scenic value or that its
development would obstruct views of great scenic
value. Because: of topography and trees, the bulk
of the site is not highly visible from the east,
south or northwest but is clearly visible from
the north and the southwest..
19.: See comments on 14,.(d.)_
New residents; would increase the use of existing
recreational facilities as well as the need to
expand or build facilities. Professional standard's
for amounts of park land or number of various types
of facilties`needed per 1,000 people can be used
to make estimates of this impact, but reliable
estimates would have to await more accurate figures
on employment and in -migration.
14_(e..)
Public facilities which would require maintenance
including roads, drainage channels,, sewer lines''
and water lines. Since all four types of facili-
ties -would be new construction extended just to
serve development of this site,. future maintenance
costs should be very low in the near future..
Many industrial uses would consume substantial
amounts of fuel and energy.
15_(b;..)
Large industrial development could 'cause a substan-
tial increase in demand for energy in the local
context, but the need for new energy sources can
only be evaluated ona regional basis. Waste
products from this site could be used in local
"co -generation" plants to produce additional
energy,
b.,)
Electrical power,, natural gas and telephone would
all have to be extended to the site from the
industrial areas to the north.
Water would be extended: from the California Yater
Service Company system to the north. The City
plans to build a two -million gallon storage tank
on a hill one mile to the north. This tank would
be owned by the City but used by Cal, Water.
16.(d_)
Sewer lines are now being extended to Ophir Road
from the worth. Development of this site would
require gravity flow to a lift station which
would ;pump sewage north up a gentle gradient to
Ophir Road and the sewer lines therein.
16..(e.)
The need and design for storm water drainage sys-
tems are discussed at length under No. 3 above_
Solid waste which was not reused for power gener-
anion, agriculture, recycling or other beneficial
purposes could be stored on the site or transmitted
to thel 5th, Avenue waste transfer station or the
Neal Road. landfill-. The on-site storage or dispos-
al of some toxic materials would be regulated by
the County Health Department, the -Regional Yater
Quality Control Board, and the City Fire Depart-
ment.

Dear Bill;
We received. the Environmental Check List and discussion on this
project, Encloc:ed is the formal comments we made on this project on
12/16/83.
The project area and the lands surrounding is are a man -altered
breeding sight for disease vectoring mosquitoes, and if there is an.
influx of people into this area for whatever reason, those people
will be bitten:
The issue is really an increased health risk to people in this
area because of the 'large breeding area along the watercourses.
Filling would help reduce the problems on the site, but would not
reduce the off-site breeding.
One mitigation would 'be to restrict this area to low technology
industry, " 1t is to go industrial, to avoid bringing any large
number of people into the area and thus subjecting them to increased
disease risk.
Using the argument that increased funding should pay for the
increased mosquito control from the increased ad valorem taxes, it
is our experience that under proposition 13 of 1978, that increased
property values do riot usually produce enough money to pay for the
added costs of control.i If the area is eventually annexed to the
City of Oroville, we would ask that a mitigation condition be imposed
which would require no loss of fahaing, if the area were ever annexed
to the Cityls Redevelopment Agency,

a'. Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining; levels, threaten to
eliminate a plantor animal com-
munity, reduce the number or restrict.
the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
Vii. Does the project have the potential
to achieve short term benefits to
the detriment of publicly adopted
long-term environmental goals?
c. Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? (a project
may impact on two or more separate
resources where the impact on each
resource is relatively small, but
where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment is
significant,) ---
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, :Y
either directly or indirectly?

Dear Comm ssi cnlrxs
RE: Environmental Determination for the Industrial Unit No n prezon
ing and Annexation
This letter is a response to recent communications to you from Bill
Turpin and Charlie bloods of the Butte County Planning Department con
cerni ng the need for an Environmental Impact Report for proposed
prezoning and annexation to the City. We do not agree with Mr. 'Turpin''s
evaluation of our planning activities, and we do not believe that the
Negative Declaration we have prepared is contrary to the intent of the
California. Environmental Quality Acta Nonetheless, we do understand'
the need to maintain consistency between General Plans, zoning, ;spheres
of influence and annexations; We, therefore, agree to Mr. Turpin's
recommendations that the General Plan Environmental Impact Report be
used for this project and that a sphere of influence amendment be sub-
mitted before or with the annexation.
City Staff will attend your December 2 meeting to answer any questions

for circulating an environmental impact report oil the above

Regarding potential air quality' impacts from the proposed

letter where he cliscusses environmental impacts (panes 2-3)) .
of particular conCen to the ApCD would be increased iaobile

Re: prezone of Extension of Industrial Unit 3

Environmental impact
The department notes that the 360•r acres proposed for industrial
pa°czorli.ng lies adjacent to the rural community of palermo, south
Of OrovillC- Impacts of the development of 360 acreS or indust-
rinl land would be felt by titeso residents of Butte County most
directly; although the entire community could be affected, both
Positively through greater emplayment and negatively through
environmental impacts and public/private costs. The department
recommends the pi-eiaration and circulation of an impact report
before til ,in ; any
project. of the steps outlined aboN,e to approve of this
An impact report appears to be c,,arrented for Several reasons.
First the pro j,oct l s size and scope is large , 1`hc proposed rezone
represents approximately G0 percent of the lance cu7'rently ut,li
zed for industrial uses in the OroVille arca according to the
figures contained in the City1s draft Land Use Element The 'same
document also notes that some 76 percent of the existing indus-
trially zoned land remains vacant. Since many of these vacant
areas are better ecluiped for services and access than the proposed
area, t impactti report could examine t:h}- there is a need .for this
land at this tx.r,te, particularly When, the City's draft ,and Use.

7 Phllution potential would the project involve any: ;>igniaicant
sources a air WE ion? Is t}.ere any threat to groundwater
xesouices? Is there any potential for toxic waste pollution?
The department believes that these are sig,nIficant issues which
should be addressed by the City in conjuncti.ori W *h this pre-
z?ningi Under CEQA the City of Oro'-Ille is the lead agency
with tho greatest degree of responsibility. An impact report
di ectad at these issues and questions appears to be appropriate
in t1d"s case.

3, Consider an "Industrial. Reserve'” designation or Lone for the
area south of Ophix Road,. The reserve could allow for eaten-

The Land Use Element could specify the Conditions under which
the area i�;ould be allowed intensive uses (i.e. response to
specific projects, extension of Water and se%, er facilities,
