HomeMy WebLinkAbout90-11 REZONE PLANNING 6 OF 1013a,c,d: This project will result in incremental increase in traffic and potential traffic hazards in
the north Chaco area. The Board, of Supervisors has determined that because of the large
number of projects and other developments taking place in this area, it is necessary to evaluate
this project in terms of the overall cumulative impact to the north Chico area and all the streets
servicing the area. In addition, the Public Works Department, Chico Unified School District and
the County Fire Department have all indicated the need, for an east- west route to connect
Highway 99 to Hicks Lane. This impact will require further discussion with the ,appropriate
agencies as it relates to potential buildout of this area. (The Chico Airport environs rezone)
EIR was prepared in :1980 and recommended that Keefer Road, Garner Lane and Hicks Lane
be upgraded to collector route.s. The report also indicated the need for an east- west corridor
between Highway 99 and Hicks Lane. The traffic analysis was not very detailed, but did indicate
that full buildout of the area would create ti affac levels in excess of capacity. Additionally, the
circulation element of the General Plan does not recognize any of the local streets other than
Highway 99 and part of Cohasset Road as having a arterial collector status. Therefore, a traffic
analysis needs to be prepat ed that looks at the cumulative impacts of potential buildout of the
entire north area with recommended mitigation measures before this project is approved.
14ac Currently County fire service is considered adequate, however, due to the uncertainty of the
County financial status, the future service may be questionable. County five officials have
expressed the need for an east -west traffic route between Highway 99 and Hicks Lane to provide
for a more efficient emergency response time.
14bc Thu Butte County Sheriff's Department has been experiencing severe man power shortages
due to budget restrictions the past ten years. During the past ten years the population in )utte
County has increased by 25 plus percent while sheriff services have been cut by 50 percent. With
the increased urbanization, response time is getting longer and the department has no funds
available or funding mechanisms for adding new personnel. Calls are answered on a basis of
emergency, with life threatening responses receiving the highest priority. Most other calls can
take up to two to three days for any action.
16d The applicant is proposing individual septic tanks with a community sewage disposal system
and sewer treatment plant. Effluent will be taken from septic tanks via sewer lines to a
community waste treatment plant to be located on site. The effluent will go through a treatment
process and subsequently taken to ponds located throughout the golf course. lben, the treated
water will be used as a source for watering the golf course greens and fairways. The Regional
Water Quality Control Board has reviewed the conceptual system design and has given a
tentative okay that it could meet- all their requirements.
16e! Pending the results of a comprehensive drahi study that covers the north Chico area, the
need for a new system or altered ,,torr ,drain system for that area will not be .known.
20a The project site is located within an area identified as having high prehistoric and historic
archaeological sensitivity, The project site has had a coy�iplete archaeological survey prepared
and identified no significant issues or cultural resources that would be considered significant.

,Dear Bettye;
This is a letter to confirm our conversations at our
meeting on 8-27-90, regarding the proposed mitigation mea-
sures for the Ochino-ro Rezone and P.U,D.
It is our position that drainage mitigation fee should
NOT be requited on this project. This project proposes to
contain all drainage on site; therefore not requiring any-
thing to be mitigated off site. Eco -Analysts did recommend
two mitigation measures -
11 Storm water runoff from impervious surfaces shall be
directed over landscape areas and into the polls whenever
posslble.
2: The engineers shall provide the County with a monthly
water balance analysis to establish the capacity of ponds to
hold runoff in excess of that currently flowing from the site
in a 10 -year storm event.
It was my understanding and interpretation that the
motion by Supervisor Fulton clearly stated the followingm
10 They uphold out appeal not to do an EiTiR*
2. Pound that the impacts of this proposal are mitigated by
the mitigation measures developed within the applicants
"expanded initial study" and subsequent reports,
#Of
The impacts of which he speaks of in this motion are
those which you have listed in your letter dated May 16,
1990, These impacts are:
A. ;has Projecl may result in the cumulative impact on
offsite drainage and flooding to the North. C'hica area.
B. The proposal may result in a substantial alteration
Of the present and planned land use of an area,
C. Development of this request may result in a substan-
tial cumulative impact in traffic to the North Chico area,
D. Approval of this request may result in the meed far
new local government services,
3. Find that the cumulatiLTe impacts of this project on the
North Chico area CAN be mitigated throucrh the project's
design and proposed on site and off site improvements.
This portion of the motion clearly states that the
drainage imparts can be mitigated, through the PROJECT'S
DESIGN AN!) PROPOSED ON SITE AND OFF SITE IMPROVEMENTS.
Due to the fact we are containing all drainage on site,
We did not propose any -Mitigation fee.

Ref'; Fairway Estates
18 April 1990
Dear Tom,
We have reviewed our expanded initial study submitted for the Fairway
Estates TSM, north of Chico, and Wish to submit the following additional
information,
Traffics When the County prepared its supplemental EIR on a prior pro-
posal for this site (Pacesetter Estates, Log #52-12-10-01 March 1983), it used
a trip generator of 7 trips per unit. This level of traffic generation was
used because the, County's Planner felt that project residents would take fewer
trips than those in single family units in urban areas.
In our analysis, a generation rate of 10 trips pet unit was used to
include tripsof guest members to the golf course, If every home added one
guest membership, the latter group could. add up to two additional tiwns per
day, per unit, on peak days, Since golfers tend to play in groups, the actual
-rate would be slightly lower due to ride sharing,:
on-site facilities, 'the: golf course 'and clubhouse should also reduce
recreation-telated trips: for residents since their presence determines the
type of person buying a home xn this subdivision. The trip rate of 10 per
Unit was considered adequate to cove 'gips of projer.t residents plus any
guests on peak days.
Mitigations 5, 61 7, & 8 are 'those requested by the County Arid accepted
by the project applicaht5: The left turn pockets, improvement of Hicks Lane to
county P;8 -3A standard, and payment of a share of the signal at slicks Lane are
!Baton Avenue are contributions to resolution of cumulative area problems.
,Amos, all traffic to and from this Wject mill use this intersection 'm
Teach destinations in Chico,
Jane Kerlinge'r, our physical science analyst, has reviewed the runoff
calculations and the suggested mitigations. Her calculations and results are
attached. They replace Table 1 in the Initial study prepared by us earlier:
Development of the project would more than double the peak, rate of,
runoff, but the volumes of runoff would rertain comparably the same beca.-se of
the high percentage landscaping and open space, As indicated in alt initial

Staffs review of the proposed 'Rezone has identified several possible si ;?tificant impacts that
could result from this project. 'These impacts are identified as follow
A. This project may result in the cumulative impact on offsite drainage and flooding to.
the north Chico area.
& The proposal may result in a substantial alteration of the present and planned land
use of an area.
C. Development of this request may result in a substantial cumulative impact in traffic
to the north Chico area.
D. Approval of this request may result in the need fc; tiew local government services.
It is the staff's intention that the EIR focus on the above -referenced items. However, it t
should be noted that the environmental review should not be only limited to the above-
mentioned items and those discussed in the initial study; and that responses to the Notice
of Preparation may identify additional environmentai impacts that must be addressed.

Ib,c,e: Development of the proposed project will result in disruption, displacement, compaction;
and overcoi oring of the soil created by the grading of the site to 'accommodate building pads;
driveways avkd other impervious surfaces such as street;. Since th- site is relatively flat, grading
and displacement of the soil is expected to be minimal to accommodate building pads and insure
proper drainage. Potential erosion is also expected to be minimal.
1h: 'There are no known faults or other geologic hazards within the immediate vicinity of this
site: However, all of Butte County is located within Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII.
The applicant will be required to comply with the minimum uniform building code requirements
for seismic building standards.
3b,c,d,e,f::Development of the site will reduce absorption rates and increase local runoff due to
the creation of impervious surfaces of the 200 residential units, streets and club hou 3e and
parking lot. This will result in an incremental increase in 4iainage and flood hazards to the
north Chico area (see snap). The Board of Supervisors has determined that because of the large
number of similar projects and other developments taking place in this area, it is necessary" to
evaluate this project in terms of potential overall cumulative impact to the area drainage net
well as any potential downstream flooding. The Butte County Mosquito Abatement District

it is normally at ;g : ery low flow or dry. The applicant has indicated that some storm drain runoff
will be utilized within the golf course ponds and therefore reduce some of the increased runoff
created from this development. However, the preliminary reports still do not cover the
cumulative impacts of the entire drainage network within the CSA 87 area as shown on the
attached map and therefore should be discussed prior to any further development taking place.

13a,c,d: This project will result in incremental increase in traffic and potential traffic hazards in
the north Chico area. The Board of Supervisors has determined that because of the large
number of projects and other developments Making place in this area, it is necessary to evaluate
this project in terms of the overall cumulative impact to the north Chico area and all the streets
servicing the area. In addition, the Public Works Department, Chico Unified School District and
the County Fire Department have all indicated the need for an east- west route to connect
Highway 99 to Hicks Lane. This impact will require further discussion with the appropriate
agencies as it relates to potential buildout of this area. (The Chico Airport environs rezone)
EIR was prepared in 1980 and recommended that Keefer Road, Garner Lane and Hicks Lane
be upgraded to collector routes. The report also indicated the need for an east- west corridor
between Highway 99 and Hicks Lane, The, traf3c analysis was not very detailed, but did indicate
that full buildout of the area would create traffic levels in excess of capacity. Additionally, the.
circulation element of the General Plan does ,not recognize ;any of the local streets other than
Highway 99 and part of Cohasset Road as having a arterial collector status. Therefore, a traffic
analysis needs to be prepared that looks at the cumulative impacts of potentialbuildout of the
entire north area with recommended mitigation measures before this protect is approved.
14a: Currently County fire service is considered adequate, however, due to the uncertainty of the
County financial status, the future service may be questionable. County fire officials have
expressed the need for an east -west traffic route between Hie--Vay 99 and Hicks Lane to provide.
for a more efficient emergency response time.
14b The Butte County Sheriff's Department has been experiencing, severe manpower shortages
due to budget restrictions the past ten years. During the past ten years the population in Butte
Coun has'increased by 25 plus f9erce
nt while sheriff services have been cut by 50 percent. With,
the increased urbanization, response time is getting longer and the department has no funds
available or funding mechanisms for adding neer personnel; Calls ace answered on,

take up to two to three days for any action.
16d: The applicant is proposing individual septic tanks with a community sewage disposal system
and .ewer treatment plant: Effluent will be taken from septic tanks via sewer lines to a.
community waste treatment plant to be located on site. The effluent will go through a treatment
process and subsequently taken to ponds located throughout the golf course. Then, the treated
water will be used as a source for watering the golf course greens and fairways. The Regional
Water Quality Control Board has reviewed the conceptual system design and has given ft.
tentative okay that it could meet all their requirements.

'
need for a new system or aly tered storm drain system for that area will not be known.
