II,,. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION'

This p g
'� proposal involves rezoning 40 .acres of land currently zoned
acreparcels
and 10 :acres of,1and. zoned TMS -40 to TM -5,,. Timber Mountain,,, five
parcels minimum. A forty -.acre land area contiguous on'the north
and west of the subject rezone area is currently zoned TM -5. This
total 90 acres of predominantly gentle -'sloping land is a portion of a
"220-z,4cre parcel and is slated for a proposed 18 lot subdivision con-
sisting of 5 -acre parcels. The remaining 130 acres of the property
will remain TM -40; and is largely within the rugged Butte Creek Canyon
which is generally unsuitable for development. The rezone proposal
basically alters only the allowahle density of development of the site;
permitted uses"are the same. under the proposed TM -5 zoning as tinder the
present 'TM-1,0'•and TMZoning. Surrounding zoning d.is:tricts include
TM 40 on the`east; TM -20 on the south, TM -,5 on the West, and TM -5 and
;TP -160 on the north. Numerous2�-acre and 5 -acre parcels- exist toward

the western portion of the rezone site (that area currently zoned TM -
20) providingprimary access into the area and through the site, and
existing ;old logging roads', traverse the eastern portion of the rezone,
Site (that area currently zoned TM -40). Therefore, primary access
onto and across tje pra'perty currently exists. Devel0pmerit of the site
will require ;upgrading o£ the road and development of access driveways
to individualparcels off' Garland Road. The southoastern portion of
t}ie rezone "land area is steep and cannot be develol]ed.
Development of homesites on 5 -acre parce 15' on this 'bredoiinantly gentle
terrain should require minimal earthwork, and not cause significant <I
soil disruption or erosion -since the majority of the -acre parcels
would likely remain undeveloped. Developable areas exist throughout
