6.21 Urban Area Growth
Chico. and Oroville, the County's two lard e:w %. urban areas, respec-
tively, are forecasted to contain the County's greatest ndminal
growth to 2000. The growth rate in the Paradise area is expected .to
slow in the 'down of Paradise and: increase above the County average
in the Paradise Pines area. Growth rates in the Gridley -Biggs and
Palermo areas. ;are expected to 1>e 81ightly above the County average
for the period; , The combined urban area population £'o'er Butte County
is projected to be approximately 226,450 or 85.1 percent of the.
countywide 2000 population, compared to 87.2 percent of the 19 30
coutitywida population.
6.22 " RuralArea Growth -
Butte Caunty+s rural area growth rates are expected to. be l;enexally
higher than urban area growth rates to year- 2000. The bulla of the
rural area population growth will occur in the County's foothill
areas. The foothill share 'of the County's total population is
expected to increase from 7.8 percent ill 1980, to 11.5 percent in
200Q, a population increase of 1.86..7 percent representing approxi-
mately 20,800 peoplo ,or 7.8. percent of the forecasted caurttYAde
population in year 2000. The largest increases of foothill growth,
occur in the 'Forest Ranch-Cohasset, Central tutteo Tarry Creek
Eiitrleton and Iloncut-Bangor, planning areas (see Table 6)
Population growth on the County's agricuJ:tural Sacramento Valley
floor is expected to occur mostly within and neax urban areas
which are designated f
or urban: development by the land' use Olement.
Rural area growth on agricultural lands will be suburban. :in
character and 'confined chiefly to small agricultural parcels that
Are designated around the community of Durham and City of Gridley
6.23 Gene,raI Plannin xm lications of. Forecasted tyxowth to the
utte ounty �rcu at:on System
Since Butte County principal growtit areas are forecasted to be
located 'ire the County`s url�an and foothill areas, tho focus of
future circulation system expansion, planning. p6 icyand- 'sped f4c
programs: must attend an these: re as. Ih County areas tMere' little
or no r.awth is expected and where t}je current road and highway
system s forecasted to have addgUa'te_ capacity in, the, year 2000,
a goal of �riantenance planning: andaxogxammxn is in order.
Por he County's- growing Orb areas, comprehensive. urban area
circulation planning should occur within each m:ianicipax sphere of
�nf�uenc�. This suggests the need to, circulation planning. and
f nttncin pr grans that insure 'co.ariiinated city-,coun :y'transpp
