REGIONAL AND ECONOMIC SCIENCES, (916) 342-9043 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report summarizes the economic impact on Butte county of Fairway Estates, a proposed residential development and golf course. The analysis covers a 4 period during which t'o he investment is made and Year membership expands to capacity. Estimated salesdata and other data provided by the prospective developer were used with Implan_, an input -out model, to estimate the impact. During the first year the golf course with its private club house as well as other proposed on-site and offs -site 'improvements are made and sixty new houses are sold. In the second year of development the golf course and club house begins operation with 270 members and another 60 houses .are sold. In the third year of development, golf membership expands to 350 and the last 80 houses are sold. During the last year of the developmeht, golf membership expands to 6.00. This fourth year represents the on-going impact of the development. The cohstruction and sales data were used with Implah to estimate total changes in the private sector of Butte county that would result from the development of Fairway Estates. Total changes include the initial expenditures for the development of this project as ►yell as subsequent changes in spending due to the multiplier effect. These changes, which are a prodtict of I mp l an, are surnmar i zod in the following table.

The following table shows the ekcess of revssnues over expenses for Butte county government,, it is apparent that the revenues from this Project exceed the expected costs to Butte county government.

These estimates are based on conservative assumptions. For example, it was assumed that only 22 percent of the initial expenditures 'resulted in a net increase in demand. However, this study does not examine the impact of the change in population on infrastructure c .pac i ty of county services. 1.

With the use of such models it is possible to trace the impact of an initial change in net expenditures through other industries in the economy to determine the ultimate _change in population, output; income and joins. The specific model used contained data on ou'put and purchases of over 500 industries in Butte ;ounty. Data from Tables i through 5 was used with Implan to generate estimates of other dirE„c changes as well as indirect and induced changes that. are summarized in Tables 6 through 9. DirectIn order to use the model to estimate economic impacts, it is necessary to estimate the amount of direct changes in expenditures (or output) that are generated by the development, Direct changes occur when there is a change in spending for final goods and. services such as purchases of new houses and golfing membership dues, Estimates for direct changes in expenditures (or output) were made with data presented in Tables 1 through 5. This data Was provided by the prospectiveto evel oper , V. `11 owing '.t:e fo restrictions were applied his data it in ensure' that only expenditures defined as direct s that impact net spending in Butte county were uaed to y fmplan: (1) Expenditures must be for newly produced products) such as houses, rather than ekisting property, such as land. Thus, the ;purchase price 'of ;souses 'ou" not the land is shown. in the Table 6, i 0 D 0 n 1 In r (2) However, not all of the purchase price is included in direct changes since only expenditures made in Butte county will impact the county's e+.;onomy. Thus, only 74% of the price of new houses is included in Table 6 since it was estimated by the prospective developer that 264 of material and Labor was purchased outs-`-, the county. (3) Furthermore, only those purchases that represent a net increa,F,Jn spending in Butte county are included in the following table. For example, expenditures made at Fairway Estates rather than Butte Creek Country Club should not be included because they are substitutes rattier than net changes in spending. since thn developer estimated that 22'% of the houses would be sold to people moving into Butte county, only 22% of the portior of the labor and materials purchased locally was counts -I 'a the analysis. (it is ,assumed that the other 78% of rouses were purchased by people living in Butte county who would have bought other houses or goods in Butte county if they had not purchased houses at Fairway Estates For a single house, the amount of direct change would be ,calculated as follows: $350,000 - Price of New House and Lot �100,000 = Price of Lot $250,000 = Price of New House x .74 = Materials & Labor Purchased in Butte county 185,,000 0 of House Pu. -chased !t But .e County 9 .22 of, purchase that rp,atesent,s net change in 4.0,700 _ Net Change in Direct Expendi,[ •re New House Esti­�.tes ther categories (j direct eXpendi, ur were madeina similar Result:, of the input -Out Model Direct changes summarized in the following table, Direct change in spendin or output that were estimated with data supplied b the developer are shown in the third row.

'Does the proiect have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage tr long term, environmental goals? (A short- term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impact's will Si endure. well into the future.) � X -- c.. Does the project have impacts which are indi- vidually limited, but cumulatively consider- able? (A 'project may impact on two or more separate reso-rtes where the impact on each resource is relatively small., but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) de Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings] eithr.r airectly or indirectly? IIT. DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation; I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a sign'i'ficant effect on the ahvironmen,t; and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be peepared I iinti that, although the 'proposer' project could have a significant effect on the environmeht, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on the attached sheet(s) have been added to the project: A NgGATIV_R DECLARATION will be prepared: x 1 find the proposed project may have a signiiicarrt effect on the environment, and an ENViRONMENTAI, IMPACT REPORT is required. Late Signature • 1b. 'EARTH. The proposed project will create 27.6 acres of impervious surfacing. Since on site soils are heavy clay loams with an underlying hardpan, no significant effects upon grouilr water recharge are effected. 2a. AIR. 200 units plus guest members at the golf course will add 23.9 pounds of organic gases, 174.6 pounds of carbon monoxide and 7.5.1 pounds of oxides of nitrogen per day, based on Urbemis 2 model calculations. Because of the distance from Chico, most of the reactive organic gases and the oxi-des of nitrogen will be produced outside of .the urban area. 3bd. WATER. , The project will cover approximately 27.6 acnes with impervious surfaces. Since the soils aref clay loams, no significant effect is expected for the amount of surface water reaching underlying aquifers. The alternative to 27.6 acres of impervious surfacing, plus the golf course which will be designed to rapidly drain surface waters to Sycamore creek will double the rate and volume of runoff from this property in a 1.0`- year store event (See Figure 1) The developer proposes to use the golf course ponds as retention/detention, basins for stotm water runoff. Recrured`M.t ictation 1. storm water runoff ,from impervious surfaces shall be directed over landscape areas and into the ponds whenever possible. 2. The engineers shall provide the County with a monthly water balance analyses to establish the capacity of ponds to hold runoff on excess of that currently flow ngr from the site in a 10 -yeas storm.event. 4btdi ;PLANT LIFE. Botanical 'surveys concluded during the late summer did not reveal the presence ofarty rare or endangered species. Although the intensive cultivation carried on for many years prob8tbly eliminated any rare and endangered species, a late M spring survey of the vernal pool area should be carried out in the laic spring. The land has been used for small grain production, but has been fallow because of depressed agricultural prices; The dense soils and encroachment of residential uses limits tho future agricultural potential of the site.

Each travel lane is a: relatively goad front of the project and for Most Pofottealeng7 to th of t feet wide in he road. A Potential impacts: The proposed project will add, an additional 2000 weekday trip ends to Hicks Lane and the Eaton Road freeway ramps. Peak P.M. traffic would be 2.00'vehicles. Of these, 120 would be moving from the freeway to Eaton. Road and Hicks Lane, while 80 vehicles would be traveling in a southbound direction. The traffic data were re -analyzed by Dr. Thomas Ferrara (Traffic Engineer #413) to include a golf course open to a wider membership than the homeowners and az equivalent number of guests. According to the Institute for Transportation Engineers Manual; an average gold course will generate approximately 800 trip ends per average weekday. Since the homeowners would still_ be members and use the course, Dr: Ferrara deducted 800 trip ends as internal traffic movements. The PM peak hour movement �.oald increase from 200 trips to 240 trip ends with an open golf course. Discussion with Dr. Ferrara reinforced the assumption that tbF ma j ar 4.ty of trips would be to ; h- t-oLut!- , -.:1-ou b .-he Eaton Roau interchangF.�211e nunwer or trips Lo Xeefar Road, north o the the ReefertRc>aduadtlat�avel every mall and might represent residents of ng to and from the golf course. _Reaued Mit Haat .ons 5.
