'PROMT DESCRIPTION
Thomas S. Handy is seeking the reg one of 243.05 acres of
land, near the community of Cohasset from 11-2 to'TYI-- . TM-5, TM-10'
Thisy in effect, would limit the number of uses the land could
be place under as well .as giving a more adequate definition of
the desired parcel sizes in the area. No neva construction is
planned,
BNVIRONTYLENT,A.Z < RETA,Iga
The project site occupies 24.3,05 acres of mostly timber-
mountainous terrain. The northwest ,portion of the Irroject
site fronts;,on Cohasset Road; Three parcels are involved and
are desigzaa+'ed by A.P. Numbers 56--01-0--31, 56-02-0-70# and
56-022-0-69. The .and is mostly undeveloped except for a dirt
access road, The land use designation in the area acmcding
to the Butte County General Plan is grazing-open land over
most of thh site V,r� low-dersity rpggidev't;ial land 11se dE si-
ana.tionc,, .rou.nding Cohass;et abuts and take's Xin'.part of. the':.... ,
northwest -corner of the project site. The.existingOnizp., is
A-2
The area of proposed rezoning; has diverse terrain anal Oits
in a transition zone between major life zones. Ridns and
'Canyons run ge;ierally south and southwest in the area. Soil
in the area is mostly tiveathered volcanic material some from the
Cenozoic period, Tuscan formation is present at varying depths
Below the surface around. the Forest Ranch-Cohasset area.. ' sults
associated with the foothill `system pass 3+-4. miles south of
the p�^o j ect site. Their, activity,) is unknown. Bros
i an potential
in the area. is slight 'and the fire hazard ranges to extreme ,
in. the dry summer months.,_..
Due to the sits :size and th:"�aria,tions in moisture' and'
other climatic. conditions over th a site��the floral community
onsite can be divided into two life zones and tree flora- cam
munities, The site is, located at such an altitude that it is
in a, zone of transition between the Foothill zone and the
erosa Pine zone. Distinct floral communities that cavi be 'r
identified include chapparal on southwest facing ridges with
little moisture, oak--woodland with digger pine' on sunny slopes
with adequate moisture and. Ponderosa.Pine dominated communities
on the slopes that are; shaved with adequate moisture. The
dominant compunity at ihie elevation is the l?anderasa Pine
dominant., ,.
yr Five -trees dominate the Ponderosa Pine oommuraty«' These
it include Ponderosa Pine, douglas fir, incense' cedar, white fir
and sug, pine. Only in this :Life zone do we find black oak,,
Black cottonwood, dogwood, bieUaf maple and possibZly tannoa.k _
are also present. Squaw carpet, azalea and manzanita are
dominant shrubs. Several of the dominant foothill shrubs invade
"this community in this zone .of `transition. ,hese include
,
AL
II nol
i
Ceanothus sp., (deerbrush, buck T'�rush),, live: oak, 0011f
uc eye, chamise and poison oalc.lj Blue ""oak and difyq,ti;v pine
of the foothill zone are pr' as ;f
Psent at the lower el evat, ons
well as the shrubs mentioned above.
The floral communities provide shelter, �uptit foraging
area for a wide range of wildlife. Common ree,�,��entO include
scrub jays,.and stellar jays dependent upon elevation,# common
flicker,. acorn woodpecker, Lewis woodpecker, orange-crowned
warbler, nuthatch, creeper, Cassin finch, white crowned sparrow,
barn owl, pygmy owl, red- tai.l hawk ;and turkey vul lure. The,.
California newt occurs noar wager. Rubber boa and mountain
kingsxake axe resident reptiles along with the common west fence
lizard, Resident mammals include shrews, mol�esy gopher, Jack-
rabbit, cottontail:, ground squirrel, ,ray squ�.rrel, porcupine;
skunk, coyote,): fox, raccon, cougar, wildcat, & mUledeera
According to the 1&-nd Use Element of the Butte County
General Plan, the Land: use designation in the area ire almost "
entirely, :,grazing-open land wi=th some low density residential
desagnai' ed lana. abutting' on the northwest side. Most of the
site i`a presently undbve',oped open land. Two resident'al
strugtures exist onsite ;Rear Cohasset Road., The Wahl. Ileal Estate
building exists empty onsite also. To the south along Cohassgt .
Road there is an auto repair shop and .8 miles north is the
bar (% grooery store. Sik-tenth&; of a mile north is a trailer
parko Only low-density-�epidential., scattered local commer-�
tial uses and the trail,el^ park exist in close. proximity to the
pro;aect site. . The pret zoning- of the project site ip A-2.
'power and phone service &re available from existing facilities
along Cohasset Road. ;I
i
I7:1s DI. SCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION' '
r
1(b) Maximum development under the proposed zoning would result in
a minimal amount of compaction and overcovering.of the soil with im-
pervious materials'. An estimation would_ place the extent at 48+ dw,el-
l i ngs on 243+ acresif subdivided and developed residentially. rThe
y r�miningexcavation and dred in
only other permitted use of consequence in this area under tnp ro-
posed zoning would-be drilli g, , 1 g 9
These uses are subject to requiring a use permit and undergoing
environmental review in -the event they may be objectionable,,,by reason
of no`i se, smoke, odor, dust, light, vibration, or pollution.
1(e): The harvesting of trees or the extraction of minerals, both
permitted under the zoning could increase erosion of the soil. These
uses are not expected in this area as no known extensive mineral
deposits exist and most of the trees in the area are medium-stand
Ponderosa Pine, intermittent with oak.
2(b): Any residential development on site will include the installa-
tion of septic tanks and overflow or leach line failure is possible.
3(b).;.. The introduction of any impervious materi"als onsite will
bring about a small increase in the rate and amount of surface water
runoff. This effect will be mini m'al ,over 243+ acres
8: Reducing the local zoning from A-2.(general) to TM-2, TM-5 and
TM-10 will reduce the possible land uses which are permItted. Under
the proposed zoning,l.f `,'the land is subdivided to the maximum, there
will be a possible 10` TM-10 lots; 16 T,N 2. Nl.
Jgts and 22 TM-5 lots.
Z�„,
Land uses -permitted under the pr;oposedMlAing, quarrying, drilling and
dredging. No mineral extracti'on'land 'logging is expected th the area,;
Low density resi den''ti al use represents only a sl i,ght deviation fromthe
Itended land use.
20: Archeological sites are a possibility within the rezone area.
Because this project is a rezone only and no development is contem
p'lated at this time, no archeological survey was done. It is recommended
AI that an, archeological survey be -don? 'in conjunction with any proposed
land divisions o.r devel'opme;nt projects within this rezone area.
