The project consists .of 'a revision to,'the; �lutte County Land Ilse Plan acid related rezone
for the Durham7DaytonI3elso Planning Area. This planning area contains approximately ,
86906 acres and is one (1) of sixteen (16) planning "areas identified within the, county.
;
Ttie project' is bound by the Sacraxnento River in the"west, highway 99' in the east, the
Western Canal and the Butte/Glenn County lines in the' south and section>or property, lines.':
in the, north (refer to the U.S G:S. ,maps).
'
An additional items being considered ;as -part of this project is'the deletion of approximately
2190 acres from the Chico Greenline currently located, within;the planning area. - A. change
y
to the Greenline boundaries has been pursue since late 1987 in order to provide consistent
boundaries befiween the Chico and, Durfiim-Dayt6n-Xelsbn (W4)' Planning- Areas. This -
boundary line also represents the ib two the Chico -and Durham Unified Schoch
Districts.
The project area ��onsists primarily of level valley farmland devoted to orchard and field
crops. Durham, D ton atid 'Nelson represent th'e three communities within the planning
area, withDurham being the largest! in' teams. of Site and population.

1.g: Same of tl%e soils m the planning area are considered the most productive in the

This proposal will fads population growth around' the exi`stirig developed areas.
Densities are expected to be less than tlat if exiting con di"tions were fully developed
T1iis proposal ;could create a slower growth rate for tlie, punning area.,

Since this proposal would result in'the reduction of dwelling units within the planning `
area, approval of this project finuld result in a demand for more housing in the
future. The But County Regional ,Housing Allocation Plan recommends that
approximately 7Q acres of land within the planning area be designated for. medium
and high; density residential' development. This alternative provides for only 26 acres
of ;land that could be designated ,;as meeting the affordable housing criteria:

expected' to 'be limited to emergency and lite threatening responses only, This has
been a problem throughout the entire' county, Funding mechanisms are available
and may have to be implemented for this area and possibly' the entire county to
adequately mitigate this impact: -
