DISCUSSION OV ENVIAONMENTAt EVALUATIOAI r This project is a rezone from A-2 (General)„ to SR-1 (Suburban Residential, 1 acre minimum lot size) for AP 47-25-131, north of Chico. The 8 acre site is located on the west 'side of Hicks,Lane about 3/8 mile south of Keefer Road. The land is presently open-, grassland with no structures. Most of the property slopes gently p on'the ea,s tern portion to the east toward a small ephemeral creek on of the site. Though the total site is th a"Xcess of 10' acres in size, only about 8 acres are available for residential uses. A portion of the Clear zone for the Chico,Munic'ipal,Airport covers 1.92 acres on the eastern part of the site., Soils in,this,area are mainly Anita clay loam along with some Vina loam (stony phase) and Tuscan stony clay, loam. These soils, as a Whole, are hot con idered good for agricultural purposes other than grazing livestock on the grasslands which flourish. Characteristic wildlife in this area include rabbit, skunk"; gopher, ,various rodents, lizards, swat 1 ows,, blackbird„ hawk, owl, vu'l tore, sparrow and crow: The 8utte County General Plan designation for this area i,s grazing open land, 1 to 5 acres per dwelling unit. The land to the west and south- is open grassland with no strictures. A si„ngle family resin Bence lies across Hicks Lane to the northeast. Lane to the north is grazing-open land with scattered residential uses especially slang Keefer Road and Rock Creek. According to the "Chico Municipal Noise Study"' (1977) conducted by R. Dixon Speas & Associates, the project ,site falls within the 55-60 „ Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL); E _ The Advisory Agency approved a tentative ve 'parcel map for thisproperty to create four parcels (two 1 acre parcels and two parcels of about 3 acres) on October 2, 1978 A Negative, Declaration regarding environ- mental impact was adopted as para of the parcel map approval. 1,(b),: Dis'ruptions displacements, compaction and ove)^covering of p the 5011 would occur from the development o fu P to,eight on the total acreage. 3(b)s There would be a slight increase in the rate and amount of s'tormwater runoff e'nte'ring the creek as a;recult of this rezone and subsequent land divisions that could occur. Appendix F page 8 of 9 5(c)t The SR -1 zone Would allow livestock to be ,raised or kept on the premises subject to lot area requirements. Horses, cattle, 1. swine, sheep a'nd/or goats can be kept if sufficient lot is available in addition to the 1 acre minimum lot area required for residential " 6(6) Typical flight paths bring aircraft directly over the site on some approaches, often at low altitude. This is particularly true jwith small aircraft using the airport, It is recommended that houses constructed on the property be insulated to attenuate aircraft noises. 11: There would be some population growth potential as a result of the rezone to SR -1. The proposed SR -1 zone would allow up to four additional parcels to be created on the property. Actually, due to the zoning requirement that newly created parcels in the SR1 zone be 1 acme 'in size exclusive of rights -of< -ways three parcels is, prob ably a mere reasonable figure as a maximum. .The Generl P, an designation of grazing -open land, 1 to 5 acres per dwelling u0,t;4 for this area would be in confbrman';e with this zoning proposal, rrie surrounding land uses are a blend of rural residen tial -and agricultural (mostly grazing) land uses. The Planning Commission is currently studying a rural residential designation for this area as part of a General 'Plan revision;. 16(d): Due to limitations of the soils, parcels of one acre or anger are usually needed for sewage disposal purposes in this area. Seepage pits are often used in shallow soil areas, such as occur in this 'locality, due to the lack of adequate soils for,conventional leachfields, o , r Appendi X F page 8a of g a; ofta, ' 4 , •�, ? r V , W Henxy #!4 Martin Sp « Dea:v Mrl, Mart: x a 7 $ r� � G of �,h64 BoArd Q rid erg"a.9.fJ 9 .
