DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION This proposal is for a rez6nin9 of 6.3 acres from 1. -SR (agr au]:ture- Suburban Residential) to C!-2 ( General Commercial) on jip# 44 -47 -LO. The parcel is located north of Chico along Hwy,..99E, just south of ' the Eaton Rd. exit. liccess to the property is off Hack amore L`sne to the east. Zoning Surrounding the parcel ranges f rom A-40 (north of Eaton) to A -SR to R--1, & 2. The parcel in:,question is currently undeveloped, open grassland. Immediately to the east, along Hacka- r',pre Lane and also to tie south of the parcel, are single --family r-esidendes. The parcel to the north is undeveloped. 10b. Commercial development on this parcel could potentially result in substantial overcovering and compaction of the soil: through the constrii6tion of buildings, parking and access. Gener4l dommercial', and light industrial uses are allowed " within the C--2 Zone.-,-.,, 1 2aUses �; �14 permitted p d under' C-�2 zoning could adversely affect: _ local' air quality. Increased traffic associatdd with this land use could also degrade air quality. 31c,f. There will be a substantial increase in the rate and amount of surface water runoff with commercial development. Impermeable surfaces 11ill cause this. petroleum products 1 and chemicals could be washed into drainage systems by �isurface runoff. 6a,,b. n substantial increase in noise levels may result :from commercial uses and traffic generated by them. Currently, Hwy 99E ,generated) 70 dB ( decibels) within 100 Feet. Residential use, which is growing in the area, would )3e adversely affected by an increase in noise levels, Various 'commercial uses might create local nuisance with o external lighting.' 8a,h. The Butte County General Plan designates this parcel and surrounding area as Low Density residential, 1 -4 du/ac're. The proposed rezone %ould require a general pl;n amendment. The Chico General Plan calls for agricultural use in this area. 9a. The use of ,fossil, fuels such as oil and natural gas .could increase sutatantially as e result of the rezoning depending upon the type of use established. Appendix 1? - page 8 Of 9 e ., III. k+rivirorimental, ''valuation '(continued)! ' 12. Various uses allowable within the C-P, zone could adversejy •affect exp atinp hosing in many mays inraase in traffic along Hackamore Lane; increase in noise ,a.ir pollutiono. lighting; croatiwn of an Attractive�t�niAi Ianed •dor children; increase .it traffic hazards in, the n ighborhood4. (Refer, to Section 24-1.05 of the county' Zoning O dina.nce, pages 27-2$;..) 13a,c�f. Commercial' use of the parcel, would increase traffic in the . .s immediate area. Access to a commercial. establishment currently along Hackamoxe Lane, a narrow, quit residential. ,a street. Nuisance and an increase in traffic hazards are likely results 01 a commercial establip' hment on trio parcel. , 14a,'b, e, f An increased demand f or public serv:i co? , -,especially fixe, police and road maintenance would accompany a commercial use in this outlying area. Y 15. fuel and energy, use could increase subcitantiaily from development of, a commercial; use as well: as by the car trips,it wi.11. generate $ largely from Chico. 194 A commercial use would change the character, of - hisarea Which is planned largely for residential use, an aesthetic-,, ally ''offensive sit could be created for residents of the area. 16. g d ,light" indus,;", The rezone would allow eneral. xcor�rrierc�.al and trial uses to Oe , established contrary. to the 'designatioh " of the Butte County General plan.
