DISCUSSION OFENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION This pro �osal is' -'a rezone from A�-10 (A,n;ri,cul'tur:al , 10 acre minimum lot area to SR -1, (Suburban Residential, 1 acre minimum lot s,izO for AP# 42-21-17 in west Chico ,,-,'The five acre site 'is on the southwest corner of Oak Park Avenue and Rose Avenue. The site is, level with 11'ina fine sandy loam soils.. There is presently an old almond orchard and a residence' wlt-h, garage' and other improvements on the property. The surrounding land 'uses include the Ranch'ita Gardens 5'ubdivision on the West side of the property,_ residential uses in' an: area zoned " SR -1 to the north, and agricultural uses along with rural resides- dial usetothe, tire soheast, paLIth and beyond the Ranchita Gardens 'Sib - the A -JO torte are cel sizes in the surrounding area :wlth"in generally, 5acres or larger. There are several areas with parcels of less than 5 acres; one such area is about 500 feed; to the southwest"of the project site where there are fobor parcels of 1.25 acres. !he applicants wod"I d like to parcel the 5 � acre parcelthe rezone s approved, for rest demi a1 use �;i f ,�'into four parcels of 1.25 acres f The Butte County General Plan designates this area as low density resi de' t`i al 1-4 dwell i ng uni is per acre,. The Land „Use Map shows a transition to medium low density residential use to the east and agricultural -orchard and field chops to the vest of the p,roj'ect area. 4(d)r The proposal Would reduce the acreage of the' almond orchard. '. According to the applicants, the almond trees are old and diseased. The vino fine sandy Toam soils are highly productive for agricul- tural usos and.could be successfully replanted with almond tree -s or a variety' of other orchard and 'field crops. The A-10, SR -1 and R-1 zoning in this area went into effect in Sepiepiber 1974. The project" as proposed, would conform with the prese;it Land Use Map of the Butte County' General Plan. 'Two factors which may, bear on this rezone in the near future: are poss.iHe re- visions by the Planning Commission to the zoning land' General Plan for this area and an alteration to the sphere of influence boand- art es by the Local Agency Formation Co mis ion 121: There is the potential for controversy from adjoining property owners who would prefer the zoning to remain A-10 as it has been since September 1974. Approval of this rezoning could encourage further rezonings on lands zoned A-10 in the area in order to allow residences on sma°l l er parcels. The redoc- t x ix F' _ page 7 0 8 tion of agricultural acreage could be si gni P ficant if a trend' of rezonings were to occur and ultimately be approved. IV,. DETE' AMINATION (To be completed by the Lead ,Agency] t, On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION a s r6commended. [] T find that although the proposed project could have A Significant effect on the environment, there will not 'be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached„ sheet have' been- added to the proje; t. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION IS RECOMENDED. 0Ii Q I find the proposed project MAY have a„si8Shificant effect on the' environment, and an ENv RQUMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.'
