When completed, this comprehensive document will serve as the foundation and a long,range pLmming guideline for the implementation of the county's energy, resource, open space and recreation goals, objectivesand policim Our approach to this project will be to provide a document which is both ! r' informative and instructional, with a clearly written teat and an ea--Zv used format. It wM coataw sufficient flexibility to allow for individual interpretation, while also providing realistic, enforaat►le polices to resolvc:cnnfl ct and establish long range planning directiT es. Developing a comprehensive poUcv document of this nature L% a complex process, isivalving a variety of components and tasks. One of the most important skills our firm offers i ,aniiany with large policy oriented land use documents. Our firm has extensive e.±tperieuce in ..or" os General Plans; and General Plan Elamencs both from an is-house planning staff and consultant's perspective. As such, wt; can work efficiently with Butte County and all iatergovernmental agencits and can provide practical and consistent policy language, innovative solutions, and realistic mitigation measures to resolve; long range laud use conflicts. Past expericne:e has given our firm a clear understanding. of the services required ,and the process involved m facilitating legislative action. Further, we have euensivc experience in preparing; programmatic environmental analyses, which will greatly expedite the preparation and cord c. don of the pro4cces Environmental Impact Report. Paramount in our approach to the preparation of this General Plan Element is the development of a document that: l) coaapl es with all State maneta:ted requirements; 2) is compatible with existing county wide policies and regulations- and 3) is easv to use and understand. To accomplish this, we will develope a comprehensive document similtU m formatio the existing Butte County General Plan and internally consistent with all Genal Plan Elements and County ordinances and policies. This will involve a thorough review of ail pertinent documents, including the Elcments.that presently comprise the Butte County General Plan, the Councy'"s Zoning and Subdivision oralmancas, and all relative. development policies acrd standards. Conformance with Staze manciatearequirements for the preparation of a General Pian. Element will be guaranteed through close dbinni CukAdon with all responsible agencies involved in the review and adoption prates. This will incltada the Office of Planning,and Raearc:h, the State Office of Local R Government Affairs, the California Energy C.ommiss:gn, and the State Clearinghouse. Strict uataiuadherence will be maed with the State's General Plan �Gludelines, C,&oraxia Comr2onLaw, Plaaniug, Zol' and Development Inas. and the California Envirouinental Quality Act (CEQA).

As such, it will ea%ct the rights and development potential of many property owners. This could result in significant `changes in Butte County policies, and land development patterns. Therefore, the po"teatial ensts for public controveriv and we will wont tlosely with County =staff to encolu lge public participation and inter-agency tontribution early is the plariniu'g proc:ss. Our team has extensive experience in working with the ptabgr—niaking public presentations, and de- elooing prat;d al land use documents: This experience ertabies tis to use public controversy and coucarns productively to identify issues and establish realistic and workable solutions to &&cult problems„ Further, our experience in working on Cieneral'Plani and General Plan Elemcsats and with citizens groups, Planning Commissions and Boards Ofupervlsors• gives us ,the distinct " advantage of knowing how to facilitatet, legislative action. It is also important that the General Play Element fulfill the requirements set forth by Buttt� County's application to,thc Ca2f`ornla Energy Co ninission Siting and permit Assistance: Program. Specifically) r 2J1 KEY ] UES This section vrill briefly discuss several issues that are kev tin the development of the new General Plan Element. These issues are bath topical and process., !*his list, is nor all inclusive but is representative of those areas of major importance. 7..1 Energy The County Board of Supe,visors, through a grant from the California Enc gy Commission. has authorized the preparation of an Energy Element a hat incorporates energy, natural resources, open space; and recreation into one collective clement, most jurisdictions in the state that presently have Energy Elements focus: on the energy user, primarily from an energy conservation perspective. in Butte County, Mere are numerous potential sources of; energy production in the region, in hydroelectric biaimass. cogeneration, windy and solar. Although energy conservation will be addressed in the Butte Cout,ty Energy Element; the Element will look at energy predornmantiy from a production point of view, focusing on potential energy growth.; c The pr wary purpose of the Energy Element u to provide for efficient use of existing statural resources through logical and balanced land use pianning4 This will include identification of energy production options while providing sufficient backlzround information and perspective to enable ;decision -makers to make Wormed land use decisions involving complex and controversial issues. The Element will also serve to inform the public and potential project developers as to the location of potential energy generation sues, and specific mitigations and development standards to be expected: Preparation or- the Ene:gy Element wnil require a brief history of energy development and inventory Of existing and potendal energy sources in ttie County, including locadotL status, and current potential power. Sources of energy will include low -head hydro, biomass conversion, cogeneration, wind, and ,solar developments, as well as .larger, amorecontroversial projects such as PG& Z?s proposed coal -bred power plant; and: the OrovMe-Wyandotte Irrigation District's propos,:d to divert water for the developru-'= of the Rock Creek hydroelectric plant. Once the'locadons of potential energy sources have been established; a cumulative impact analysis will be prepared addressing the physical, tonal and ecor .toric eff'ecrs that can be expected in Butte Count?r as the i asult of energy --developmezu. 22 Natural Resotirc x The adoption of ° _,s%ve'Natural Resource Elemr�nt Will be one of the most significant factors nhna in pun development Butte Conary: It will be the tool used to implemenm t any of the lash ti+tr iavav�,s estabushed by erre nanous .elements of the Cou..�ry's General Plan.. As sttcns, it will w controversial eissues requiring innovative solutions. Specific ally, The Natural Resource Element, will ser the standards fox wh.te and how non -urban land should be de;rctaped in Butre County, or conversely, where and how land should not be developed. It will establ th the spe,cfic palides dictating the dcnsities'and types of development allowed within a major area of the County, and will set the standards pertainitia to thea speciu`e zoning of all of'the County's open space, agricultural land, timber and (ores t7 i ervtl resources, hazard "zones, and culturally sensitive areas.

Speafically„this will involve a qualitative assessment of the demand for public and private pants and recreational facilities and an inventory of areas suitable for parks and recreational purposes. This will include; tp,'loto,croA description of the can of existing public and private parks and ' recreational facilities; o An assessment; of pri,.trnt and future demands for park and recreational facilities, iacludutg trails, rivers and l access, and per capita supply cf pans (acres/thousand inhabitants); o The idenuf cation, of future park and recreation sites; o A review of federal, state and local plans for the acquisition and improvement of public lands; oAn inventory and analysis of areas of outstanding scenic beauty; JO Programs for the protection, conservation, and acquisition of opea space lands; o The identification of otitatanciing sc__nib historic, and <cultural values; o The identification of open space for public health and safety the require special management or regulation because of hazard or spacial conditions: 0 And the ideatif cation aE the demand foe trail -oriented recreational use; U ifle standards Vill.be developed;tc) proridc'a defensible basis far establishment of by, y Act fees. 23 General Plan Consistency The toner`. of internal eonsistency, as used in California Planning Law, means that no °policy conflicts exist, either texrual or diagraniinatic, between ltiie components of agenetal Plan.
