ithe proposal for rezoning is fo.L ' i'hnd within the semi-urbanized
area to the north of; Chico. The area to the northwest of
Chico ,has come tinder recent developinob,t ,pressures. land use
within the rezone area can be found in Appenilices lr and
i% Overall zoning ran be seen in Appendix xV.
The, soil witha ni „, the general area is Tariabl ';� but wil;,hin the
Proposed rezoning area, it is��c�la�lsified by the U. Si"'Department
of Agricttlture chiefly as Vina, S;barit.; or Vina Fine Sandy loam.

b6 arl;ment of Agriculture, deZcribes the, s'611. as follows:!'
,
Villa Loam:
,
The _rface soil of Villa Loam is brown, rich brown; or chocolate
brown 2 or;.3 feet ��hick. it is friable sand granular, -'swell
wi
supplied th organic matterr.:retains moistlaro well, and is
easy of cultivation. The subsoil, to a de'pOi of 6 or more
feet` ,is typically similar to the surface soil, but is some-
what lighter,. in color. in places, the texture may become
either coarser or finer with depth, as the result of deposited
strata. Both surface soil and subsoil are_. permeable to -;cater.
The soil most recently deposited, or that near the streams,
Is apt to be,,dull brown rather than the richer.'brown typic;jl
of the series. The reaction, is neutral, or slightly alkaline,
by°,no'excess lime'is present
" Included with this soil, as mapped, are gravelly areas, mostly
long, barrow bodies on,
the fans slightly above the general
level of the soil.. Thess evidently result from`"the uneven
depositl,on of material by the''streams. Similar areas occur
on flood plains of }small streams. These gravelly areas are
numerous and widely distributed and are shown by gravel symbols
on the map. Gravel: is «btndant, both In the surface soil and
subsoil, and the texture of the fine material may be lighter
than loamThi 5 makeshe soil in these spots less-,retentive
of moisture than, elsewhere, and crops suffer rathei,quicklyy
during dry weather.
Villa Fine Sand > oams
The surface soil of Villa fine sandy loam Is brown; rich-brown,
or chocolate brown fine sandy loam from 2 to,3 deet think. it,
is l,00sp and friable and has a granular Structure, it contains
a fair 'percentage of arganic; matt+sr' `and retains moisture fairly
well., although not as well as does Villa Loam. it is neutral in
reaction. The sub-soil is slightly lighter in color than the
surface (.ail., but otherwise is similar to it. Over most of
the soil;; there is no change in texture to a depth of or, more
feet, but on the upper parts of the alluvial fans, some of the
soil has a liglztor-textured or gravelly Lower subsoil layer,

but, as an important `and desirable use of the land ,which
establishes many of the values for arban areas.`el

The Preliminary General Plan for Chico', as amended by the
City's Pl.annin�`Commission on August 14, 1975, shows agriculture (Y
as the predominant feature in the area (Note Appendices V and
V1) .
The rezone area is within the Shasta Union Drainage Distrilct,.
This drainage district was established by the 'Butte County
Board of Supervisors in 1965.
i.
The acreage involved in this rezoning request is a portion of
a rezoning program which was approved by the Butt�a County,'Plan-
ning Commission in„1970; but at the request of the Butte County'
Board of Sgpervisors, was eliminated from that rezoning proposal.,
and remained under the ":A-2” class%f,i gation
151.4.3. Environmental Impact.
Cal Th h l�ny rc�nmcntal Impact of, the Pro ft�pd Action:
The mayor environmental imp�Lct would be the opening up of
this Land to potential developin�hnt. The consequences of
i
any development on this property could be:
1. The loss of prime agricultural soils and 110 acres of
orchards and 60 acres of row crop.
�. J �
2. Thd'expansion of the Chico Urban COMPIOX further north.
along the Esrlanade from the developed area of ;8hasta and
Lassen Avenues.
3. Increased traffic generation to and from the project
area.
4. Degradation of air, noise and water quality could occur
with the area developed to the potentials allowed under
the rezone proposals
5. Nba-comp;lianoe with the City of Chico and Butte
County's Central plans anal the County's :7pen, Space Bldmeitt
of the General Plan.
n
i
(b) AnyAdverseEnvironmental Effects 'Which Cannot Be
KV6 ded if the Proposal is Implemented:
The project wou'd be'a continuation of tho trend to expand
development into an area that is contiguous to the urban-
ized area of Chico. A good portion of the ,area is still
agricultural or rural resid'?ntial and has itpt been fully
developed into comm',,rcial ai'td high density .residential
`)uses.
(c) Mitigation Measures Proposed to Minimize the Impact:
There have been three county Environmental, Impact Reports'
written `-r or", c,his arra previously, one at the direction of
the Board of Supervisors (Note Section 15144) . These
have examined 'the area and „have proposed mitigation
\a- easure`s to the problems presen,: a- by the '`A-2" zone. To
gt;ote one report:
"To mitigate tlie, ;g"rowth inducing imparts in this area ,,
will entail.. ac+`..ion by the local government. What is
the local -government's policy in regards to"this area?
Does the County wish to, see continued parcel ,,splits in
the area? Do the governing bodies of the County,
wish to see agriculture, commercial, or residential "
development in the area_?
'!The"best way to set policy fb) this area of Chico is
to begin with a rezone proposal. One proposal was
already shownto people in the area at a meeting on
November 20, .1974; at the Shasta Elementary School..
The two major �toblems encountered with this proposal
iIwere the "S-1" ��(Suburban and "R-4" (Maximum -Density
Residential) toti,.rng proposals. The people in the "S= -l"
proposal; wanted ,''S-2". The ppopl.e in the proposed.
"R-4" asked tha'� commercial zoning be considered.
(Note Appendix VII)
"A second altet6ative would be to set commercial, zones''
along the Esp.Sanade to Mud Creek and urban residential
zones' to the we'at of the Esplanade.
"A third alternative is to set commercial zones over
those areas already developed for commercial and resit
dential uses, and retain the presently undeveloped
commercial, zones. Over tha remaining a rural.
residentlali or green belt zone for residential uses
could be placed.
"'she fourth alternative would be to place high den8ity
residential and commercial zones along the`'Bsplande,
with
, ral, residential zones went of the
green bolt or rii
Esplanade.
"The fifth alternative woti%d be to place the "A-2" areas
antler a :ural resid.etztial zone, retaining the present
commercial zones; and making the non-66)tinercially
zoned commercial areas non --conforming pVe-existing uses
) Alternatives to the Proposed Actio
A possible alternative to this proposal would be "C -l",
AIR -41',, and ""S-2" (Suburban, 1 Acre Lots) . ,SThe "S--1" zone
would eliminate any acreages to be set aoicle for agricul-
ture
gr cul.-ture per se, with a minimum size lot of 8 125 sq. ft
While ac,.2eage can be set aside of animals, the possibility
of lots l; 6.ing careated, voluntarily; at otre acre seems..
remote. At least under the "'S-2"', "the base minimum would
be set by the zone and a rural residential zone, with the
possibility of agriculture, will have been created. The
"18-21' zone would mitigate the densities that could be
created under the l The 'S-2 zone would conform to
the rural residential. nature of the area, 'Ehe "S-2 " zoning
immediately west of the project site and the Interim "S-2"
zones now in the area. q
Another='alternative would be an altered version of the
above, with "C-1" over the commercial areas and "S42"
over all. The general comments noted above would al. -so
pertain to this alternative, with emphasis added on �,he
reduction of population densities and concurrent demmids
upon the Public sector. �
1j Lastly an "A-5+1 or "A-10" Zone could be placed on the; area.
This alternat-:ve would preserve the prime agricultural soils
the area, and would solidify the urban -rural ,inter face
6A northwest Chico, This alternative would be in confor
mance with the City's General. Plan, the Open Spaoe,Element
of the County's General plan, and the Agricul-;ural zoning
now 4,n place to the west of Cussick Avenue a'nd north of
i' Mud Creek, However, such a zoning would ignore the aspects
