wildlife.
MAMMALS
Deer are faund throughout the area, many of them resident.
A migrant deer herd has a migratory corridor between
Forest Ranch and Lomo.
Most of the high elevations are good bear countryy, and
receive conSiderabl.e hunting pressure. A few bear will.
I
nfrequently wander into the foothill Country.
Common furbearers nre coyote, bobcat, gro,,, fox, skunk,
weasels, all of which are predators. Tb6 fieldom seen
mountain lion is an:o,fher predatory inhabitant.
Many s,aecies of rate, mice, gats, and other` small mammal.5;:
inhabit the area, Opossum, porcupine, chi.pmunks,. ,and
ground squir ,,ols are the more apparent small ma(oals. These
animals are important prey for predators.
Some itiammal species (e,g.) deer and gray fox) inhabit each
habitat type. Other specieG are dependent upon one habiv,jty
e, g. , the flying squirrel needs a foreGt. 2xcept for von; sa
the animals such as 'coyotes, all of the mammal spec ow.'�
are dependent upon unaltered, natural habitat for their
well being.
BIRDS
.Although many are transitory users, approximately 200
species occur in the three habitat typeq. Less than half
of thiG 200 are permanent` reaident� while many more are
summer or Winter res:identc. Transitory migrants util7ze
the area for only a f'ew weekG in spring and fall, but are,,
highly dependent upoiithe area for food and rest.
Wager habitat is very limited in the'`-vhole area. Butte
Creek has some year around use by duckfi. Dippers, king-
fishers, and grebes ore permanent residents dependent
upon streams or lakes.
Several species off` owls and hawks Iy
occur hese. �o, t.hr:ea,tened

1.5143. Environmental Impact, CO
Ca) Thea, Environmental _ILaRact dZ_ the. Propoeed Action
The change in the range of lanai uses all.owe a in- the
proposed zonilh.gq as compared to the exiGti.ng zoning,
suggest the future development of the area will be
for low denGit.yjrciral reGidentiol to large acreage
open space. This rozo,ning will maintain the open
nature of the lands surrounding ForeGt Ranch., and
at the game time, will allow for large acreage home
development and residential ucr,, near the village
itGelf.
(b) AnyAdv_rerge_Environmental Effects Which Cannot Be
The existing zoning has the potential for a much
higher denGity and intensity of` land use which under
full development would probably exceed the tol.eranceg
for the area related to sewage treatment, road capacity,
drainage, fire protection etc. Therefore, the pro.
posed ion tags would prof-abl.y have a legs severe
physical effect on the area and would create less of
5 ik
' a demand on the County for future ger'viceq than
the present zoning.
s
(c) Miti,eati.on MeagureG ProDwtedd to 'Myn lmt Lze the impact:
_ _. ,
Since -the most adverse environmental impact on the
area wGuld be the existing zoning �Ioveloped to its
maximum potential, the proposed zotii:rtg c:hou7„d be
the moat aplpropriate ,miti.gating meaqure,
(d) Al.ternativec to, the Proposed Anion:_
Alternative T,The denial of the preq'ent proposal
and the rub�t _ tut on of the Foothill. Residential and
Recreational zone (or one of the rural reside-htial
zones now before the Planning Commiq-qion). These
zones allow home burineages and a wide range of
acroageq per dwelling unit. These zones would allow
for a variety of home buGinesae� and Mate licensed
profeaGional offices to be.operated out of individual.
homes. Such professions a� doctors, lawyers, and ; y,
accourit:anta would be allowed along with woodcrafts,
and photography studios amoig other-. Thege u5eq
must be i�ubgervlent to the residential nature of the
area
However, , if a ntunber ,of such buginte-seg; and profeaGional
offices :were to open up in the Forest Ranch areas one
would expect some increa qe in traffic gexteration to
and from these small,, enterprises. This i.nrreaAe in
traffic volume coLld lead to an incremental decrea;ge
in ambient air quality, and a rise in background
noi4e levels, .�
Furthermore, the creation of a zoning ordinance that
ollo-w[ for small home type enterpriq s could lead to
thoi growth of a semi;,, commercial culture scattered
tht6ughout the rural'•areas of the County. This
scattering of regidenhial/commercial enterpriget
could have some decehtralizing impacts upon the
comMeral-rof p �as�ional activItieq located with n the
c.a.
urba i areaq.
Lastly, the creation of 0 rural commercial zone would
lead 'ito the in.crea -ted derr,�and for power t;ervicea
thrbu hout the County. This, diffusion of power
�cuppl,t%ea could lead, in tl`ie long run, .rLo -n i.ncreaged
burdet�i� upon the already taxed energy -�uppli.eq of the
Cou:nty;' F (Iricrea seri gas consumption for ougtomera

(f)
Alternative l: A poggible alternative within thiq
rezone would 'Ke the placement of large acreage
agricultural zoneG over the newly developed grape
field-. Such a zoning would allow for, true agri
cultural protection for this developing induGtry
within the County.
The C-1 (Light Commercial) zone Ghould be more
properly deGignated aG an N -C (Neighborhood-Commer
ci.al) zone. the need for any additional commer-
cial development `can be shown.) The N -C zone would
fit more harmoniouGly into the population qize and
environment of the area, and -would not allow for the
range of ugeG aq outlined within the C-1 zone. Thiq
N -C zone ahould not occupy the entire lot, but,only
a portion of it, allow,'�tg for residential living
on the remaining portion. .P'r
Tho historic uqe oP the land had been one of mining,
pr,eg
and ently low density human habitation, wildlife
habitat and G'raterqhed. The highest potential for an
alternative laqe iq the continuation of urban develop-
ment. The zoning propoGals under congIderation would
be more reasonably related to the development already
centered in Foregt 'Ranch, and the maintenance of the
open lands surrounding it.
The retention of the land in the majority of the
propoc;ed zonee Would not allow denc;itieq which would
jeopardize the 'lung term productivity of the area
The possible exPeption to th qwould be the AR -5
(Agri,cul.turaI"Re-t3'.dent inl) degignation over the
newly planted grape fields. This zone iq not a true
agricultural, zone, and the five acre minimum would
allow for 1,`Ae dow,;n parceling of the lands now planted
in grapes.
V
The Butte County 16eneral plank Land Use tlementk desig
nates the rezone area in, three cl.assi.f-i.cati.ons. The
southwesterly portioxi of the proposal is classified as
"Low Density Aesidential" (1-4 du/ac). The next desig-
nation,# moving northeasterly along Hwy 32 is Crazing/
open Space (1.-5 ad/du). The last designation � enooun-
tere6 in the most northeasterly portion of the rezone
proposal. p is Timber Mountai volas Terrain (no density
designation) . ,.,

U
The proposed zoning allocations do not strictly follow
the abo'v'e mentioned General Plan designations. However,
physical and environmental factors were used to determine
the proposed zones. The following components were.,
used in formulating zoning densities.
1. Road Access available: access Lo County roadways-.
�,. 2: Slope existing natural slopo which would allow
tr development (30% or less). <,:`
3. Soil Characteristics soil depth and type which
would allow septic dislsosal.
4. Water proximity to proven producing well sates
and proximity to possible future community water
surra ly . i
5. Fire Hazard - existing vegetation conanunities,
and their susceptibility to wild land fires,' along
with access for fire equipment, were tactors used
in determining potential fire hazard.
The above factors were combined and 1estraint areas
Were determined. Areas which have highest minimum
acreage allotments had the most natural and physical
constraints, the areas with the lowest acreage minimums
had the :lowest constraints.
irreversible impacts of residential developments at
intensities higher than those recommended, couild possi-
bly load to serious problems in delivery of con-munity
services, such as roads; water, fire protec��ioa,, sewer
and schools. Also, conditions presently as,ttociated
with the rezone area, such as open space, rural low
density -`living environment, and abundant wiiaiife
habitat ,i)would' be impacted by higher than recommended
zoning designations.

Regarding Section 151;42, Commissioner ('amenzind objected to he racial
connotation and suggsted that it be changed to read:
"Before the infltix of the miners and prospectors the .Forest Ranch area
was used by the Spaniards, Mexicans and local Indian tribes for summer
habitation and food 'gathering,
"Following discoveryof gold and with the in. lux of miners ltheare.,-,A
quickly developed i,hto a center of mining activity. Forest Ranch,,;`
quickly grew and became a s�i�age stop ,along the Humbolt Aoad,,�"-1hi(.'6
ran from Chico to gouthern Idaho. ' 11hen 'the mines became une&6
to operate the area lapsed back into timber -grazing lane-`', With -
Ranch a small stop along the highway.
He also suggested that the word "agricultural" be inserted on Page 3,
in the first line in 'Paragraph 2, between "new" and "industry"-. Both
Commissioners Smith and Hanford stated that it was their understanding
that the ql—pes and apples to be produced in the area were, to 'be user".
for juices ---and wexe to be processed' in the Paradise area,
Commissioner Hanf6rd questioned the inclusion of "Foothill Residential"
zone in (d) on Peqe 6- , since this particular zoning designation'is
still under stud�*and far from adoption (738).
She also asked (77,4) for t,,larification of the last paragraph
on Page 7 and the '�irst paragraph on Page 8.
commissionr�,r Smith co'lllmen{;ed (1827) that much additional information
Was availab,,,'e concerning water in the area. She read excerpts from Pages
4 and 6 of a study by an enctineering firm in 1974 concerning the de-
veloPmentof Upper., Chico Cr6ek, as a water source. , she also M,ad from
Page 8 of another joint reoott made in December 1973 by California De-
partment of Water Resources, Butte County, and Paradise Irrigation
bistrictt known as the jonesville project and concerning use of. Big
Chico Creek as a water nourco by the construction of a small clam and
reservoir. She also rd",forrea to a geological map from the report.
Proponentst
Jim Mangum, Forest Rancht complained that no advance copies of the
tnvironmental Impact Report had been available to the public prior
to tonight's meeting and cmmieftted that water and sewaqa- problems )should
be spIvod n.pw "so that later we do not have to fight to p,,�otoct that
which we have already."
opponents: N: I 6rn McMathj 146 McUonald Ave., Chico, said that the' rock
formation in the area is the same as that from which Chico, obtainomits
water and does have water -fearing capabilities. (946)
Guy Nall, 704 W 8th Ave.t Chico. questioned the inclusion
ion of the 'lout cern
M�
part of this proposal in � ' this rezoning. Ile stated that the T� 160
might be in conflict frith" the General. Plan.
