5d. The subject property is located within the Critical 1i iti",,Or Deer Range of the East Tehama
Deer Herd. The Department of Fish and Game has recotry€bended 40 -acre minimum parcels in
order to preserve viable habitat. The existing dwellings located in the bottom, of the caity0h, and;
similar development to the north, have already impacted the. area to a certaindegree. 7Th;198:/
the Department of Fish and Game adopted Designated Development Zones within Critical.
Winter Deer Ranges. This parcel is within a Development Zone. Land divisions below 40 acres
are consistent with Department of Fish and Game policies subject to the collection of deer herd I,
mitigation fees. Butte County has not yet adopted these-; mitigation fees however, development
I
of these lots will be subject to the collection of fee if a fee schedule is adopted prior to building
permit applications.
8,11. Approval of this project could lead other property owners in the area to request similar
projects, thus further impacting this remote canyon land. The Butte County General Plan
designates the entire' area as agricultural residential. The Agricultural Residential General Plan
policies require that certain conditional; criteria be presetnt before zoning less than 20 acres can
be consideret:. '.Me criteria are:
1 Compatible with neighboring agricultural actu,rities.
2. Evidence of adequate water and sewage Idispcnrial capacity.
1 Availability ofa yquate fire protection facilities.
4.. Adequately ma d approved road, acce.�s w'th sufficipnt capacity to service area:
5; Reasonable accessi.naity to commercial servicos and schools.
The proposed rezone clearly does not meet criteria 3 thro-,.w h 5 and is questionable with regards
to criteria 2. Should this rezone be approved it will set precedent for the area, inducing growth
and encouraging a higher population concentration away Y,rom existing urban areas.
13a,c,f,14e. The potential will exist for the construction of two additional dwellings which will
generate between 12 and 16 vehicle trip. per day. This is, not, by itself, significant. However,
the Crown Point Road is in such poor condition that an, additional traffic will impact the road.
The condition of the road poses a safety hazard particulad v during winter when muddy and icy
conditions exist. No additional land divisions orsmaller zoning should be allowed until the road
is improved.
14a. The project is located within a high firel hazard area.` As more people move to the canyon.
the chance of man made fire increases and the potential for property loss and human injury, from
natural fires increases. Butte County's ability to provide adequate fire service is in question due"
to the County's; financial situation, Even given that Count}, funded fire service will continue the
project is located 4 1%2 miles away from the Forest Rana, .Fire Station and the condition of
Crown Point Rd. will hamper fire response times, On site -ovater storage should be required for
all future residential development in the canyon.:

INTRODUCTION
This report details the .results of an
archaeological survey of a three-way land
split project proposed by Bruce Oliver of
Chico, California. The project will involve
approximately 19 acres of land located in
Little Chico Creek Canyon, immediately
north and west of Crown Point Road. Land
use change, involing frtture residential
development, will follow Butte County
approval of a, proposed pat -cel map.
According to State and County
definitions, the proposed project constitutes
an''undertaking" which tcould adversely
affect cultural resources whichmight be
located' within the area of potential effect
(APE). Accordingly, a cultural resources
inventory coupled with an assessment of the
National Register eligibility status of ;any,
recorded sites, as well as it review o f
potential project impacts and a list of
mitigative measures, is required pursuant to
County requirements, and in compliance with
Section 106 of the National" Historic
Preservation Act of 1966; as amended (16
U.S.C. 470), and Procedures of the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
(36 CFR 800):
The remainder of this report details
the results of the archaeological survey and
provides a professional assessment of the
cultural resources which might be affected by
the project All field work procedures
followed guidelines provided by the State
Historic PreseNat on Office (Sacs mento)
and are in conformity with accepted
professional standards.

Theproposed Bruce Oliver land split
parcel is roughly rectangular in shape, and:.
consists or tipprOimately 19 acres located`
within a portion of the southeast quarter of
Section 14 of Township 13 'call, Range
Page
East, of the USGS Paradise West, California
(1980), 7.5' Series Quad. The parcel is
located immediately north of Crown. Point
Road's crossing of Little Chico 'Creek,; and
involves lands located on both sides of the
creek, although c. 806/6 of the parcel is
located on the creek's west side. The land is
currently undeveloped, and has been only
moderately, disturbed in conjunction with past
fire suppression activities, minor access road
grading, and recreation,
Records Search and Project' Context
Prior, to going into the field i.he
archaeological records maintained by the
Northeast California Information Center at
Chico were examined for any existing
recorded prehistoric or historic sites. In
addition, the National Register of Historic
Places was also consulted (USDI 1989). No
sites were found to be recorded within the
Oliver property, although clear archaeological
sensitivity was indicated by thu presence of
Little Chico Creek, as well as oil the basis of
the positive findings which have
accompanied previous archaeological survey
within this general area (e.g., Jensen 1985). _
As regards ethnographic affiliation,
the project area is located 'Within
northernmost Northwestern Maidu, or
