HomeMy WebLinkAboutMUP 00-10American Tower Corporation, c/o Dan Figueroa, proposed Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts and Minor Use Permit for a 185 -foot high, three-legged, self-supporting lattice tower to provide digital wireless communications along the Highway 99 corridor north of Chico. Two cellular phone service providers (Pacific Bell and Ubiquitel) and possibly one additional provider will colocate on the tower. Panel antennas will be mounted on the top of the tower, at the 170 -foot height, at the 155 -foot height, and at the 125 -foot height. Small vertical antennas will be mounted at the 135 -foot height and at the 115 -foot height for paging services. The overall height of the tower with the attached antennas will be 187 feet above ground level. Equipment shelters and cabinets will be installed on top of concrete pads within the lease area. The tower and equipment shelters/cabinets will be located within a 60 -foot x 100 -foot (6,000 square feet) lease area, which will be surrounded by a 6 -foot tall chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire. The lease area is located approximately 291 feet west of Highway 99. Access to the lease area will be via a new gravel driveway from Hamilton Nord Cana Highway. The proposed communication facility will be unmanned, and does not require a water source or a sewage disposal system. The property is zoned A-40 (Agricultural - 40 acre parcels) and is located on the east side of Hamilton Nord Cana Highway, approximately .8 miles north of Cana Highway, north of Chico. APN 047-100-143 (SB) (MUP 00-10). Mr. Betts summarized the staff report. He noted the Agricultural Commissioner did not have a problem with the application. Commissioner Nelson said he was concerned with the height of the tower. Mr. Betts said the tower apparently needs to be 185 feet in height. HEARING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Dan Figueroa was present representing the applicant. He noted that one of the conditions is to provide a bond for removal of the tower if necessary. He said a wildlife survey was done. He said that in rural areas either tall towers are needed or more smaller towers. Pacific Bell needs to be at 185 feet and the other carriers must be located at least 15 feet apart on the tower. Commissioner Nelson asked if there would be a light on the tower. Mr. Figueroa said there would not be a light on the tower. Commissioner Lambert asked if the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) would look at this application. Mr. Betts said ALUC would not see this application since it is not within their area for comment. In response to the questions of the Commissioners, Mr. Figueroa explained why the tower must be 185 feet tall. Commissioner Mooney was in favor of smaller towers more frequently along the roads. Commissioner Cage was in favor of a light on the tower. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ MINUTES ■ SEPTEMBER 28, 2000 a Mr. Figueroa noted there is a setback to allow for the tower should it collapse and fall over. Steve Ruppenthal, representing one of the co -applicants, explained how height on a tower is necessary to reach a certain distance. The location on the tower of a carrier depends on how far the tower is from their next site. The terrain and vegetation are also factors which have to be taken into consideration. Arlan Nichol of AT&T said they had a better site, but it was near a duck club. They have that application on appeal with the Board of Supervisors, but will withdraw that appeal if this tower is approved. HEARING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC Commissioner Cage asked Mr. Parilo to give staff's opinion the tower. Mr. Parilo said the concept of having more, smaller towers was not pursued. Mr. Wilson noted that the Commission can always request an independent analysis if they do not feel comfortable with the information available from the applicant on the technical aspects of the tower. Chairman Leland said he was in favor of one tall tower rather than several medium towers. There was more discussion on the pros and cons of.the tall tower. It was moved by Commissioner Lambert, seconded by Commissioner Cage, and carried unanimously for approval of the Minor Use Permit for American tower Corporation subject to the findings and conditions_ as follows: Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. Find that an Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, that said study identified potential significant environmental effects and includes mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels, and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. B. Find that the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the public review process. C. Find, on the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the Americar_ Tower Corporation Minor Use Permit project, as mitigated, will not have a significant effect on the environment. D. Find that the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement . and analysis of the County, which is the lead agency. E. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts, with one mitigation measure, as detailed in this agenda report, and authorize the Chair to sign. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ MINUTES 0 SEPTEMBER 28, 2000 ■ II. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat, and a Ade minimus@ exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat is recommended. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3) and 14 CCR 753.5. is not recommended. III. Recommend approval to the Planning Commission of Minor Use Permit 00-10 for American Tow -'r Corporation, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit A and subject to the following findings: A. That the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use is in accordance with the purpose of this Ordinance, the purpose of the zone in which 'the site is located, the Butte County General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the County because: Project conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to tLe applicable requirements of Section 24-262 (Wireless Communication Facilities), tr e Butte County Building Division, the Butte County Public Works Department, and the Butte County Air Quality Management District. The project is in accordance with the purpose of the zone in which the land lies and the Butte County General Plan because the project site is designated Orchard and Field Crops and is zoned A- 40. The Orchard and Field Crops land use designation allows public utilities as Secondary Uses. The A-40 zone allows new communication facilities with approval of a Minor Use Permit. B. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with, and will not adversely affect, or be detrimental to adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration given to: Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density: The proposed tower will be the tallest structure in the project area. Howevej, tall structures are normally found in agricultural areas. The lattice design of the tower will help minimize visual impacts. 2. The availability of public facilities, services and utilities: Electrical power service is already established to the property and no additional services or utilities are required. The harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character: The project will not have a harmful effect upon the neighborhood character because the site is not located in a residential zone and tall structures are found in agricultural areas. The radio-frequency emissions from the proposed antennas must meet FCC standards. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ MINUTES 0 SEPTEMBER 28, 2000 ■ • 4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets: , Only a very minor number of vehicle trips will be generated durir._g installation of the communications facility. The communication facility will be unmanned and approximately eight vehicle trips per month will occur after installation. No access will be allowed to Highway 99 from the site. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed: The site is suited for the project because it is not located in a residential zone. No significant impacts are anticipated to agricultural resources because only limited agricultural uses exist in the project area. 6. Any other relevant impact of the proposed use: The Planning Division has circulated the proposed communication facility application to County Agencies and has received no evidence that the use will cause any other relevant impact. C. Based on the above findings, the proposed location, size, design, and operatin.- characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it would be operated ar maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

American Tower Corporation, c/o Dan Figueroa, proposed Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts and Minor Use Permit for a 185 -foot high,' three-legged, self- supporting lattice tower to provide digital wireless communications along the Highway 99 corridor north of Chico. Two cellular phone service providers (Pacific Bell and Ubiquitel) and possibly one additional provider will colocate on the tower. Panel antennas will be mounted on the top of the tower, at the 170 -foot height, at the 155 -foot height, and at the 125 -foot height. Small vertical antennas will be mounted at the 135 -foot height and at.the 115 -foot. height for paging services. The overall height of the tower with the attached antennas will be 187 feet above ground level. Mr. Betts gave a brief summary of the project. He noted a letter received from Mr. Wurlitzer in opposition to this project. He read the letter into the record. Mr. Betts said there is a vernal pool on the adjacent parcel, but none on this parcel. He said the vernal pool is located adjacent to the proposed road into the site and the road will have to be moved to avoid damage to the vernal pool. The hearing was opened to the Public. Dan Figueroa was there to answer questions. Mr. Parilo asked where the closest residence was in connection to this site. Mr. Betts said approximately 300 feet away. Mr. Parilo said the tower is approximately 200 feet from the property line, with a row of Eucalyptus trees and then the residence 100 +/--feet from there. Mr. Betts said that is correct. He said the area surrounding this proposed site is used for grazing livestock. Mr. Figueroa said they have four carriers who have agreed to colocate on this tower if it is approved. He said they will make sure the vernal pool is not disturbed. He said a galvanized color, will be better for the tower because it will blend in with the area. Mr. Parilo said he is concerned with the. aesthetics. He asked about using slim towers. Mr. Figueroa said that slim towers can not handle this type of load with 4 carriers. He said this will be a self supporting tower. Mr. Parilo asked how high the 6 cabinets on the plan are? Mr. Figueroa said 7 feet high. He said they will be surrounded with an open chain link fence that can be filled in with metal slats if necessary. Mr. Betts stated that Mr. Wurlitzer's residence is 1,600 to 1,800 feet to the north of this site. Mr. Parilo said he would like to discussed the design of the tower. Steve Ruppenthal, Engineer, explained the size and capacity of the tower. He said the width is determined by the mounts, antennas, and cable size. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING SERVICES MEETING ■ MINUTES - AUGUST 23, 2000 ■ Mr. Figueroa asked about painting the black cables a grey or some color that would blend in with the area? Mr. Ruppenthal said they usually paint cables when placed on the outside of buildings, but have not painted any cables on a lattice tower. He said there will be one cable per antenna and they will be approximately 15/8 inches thick. He said they have allowed for future carriers to colocate on this tower and the height requested is critical. Mr. De Luca said the carriers have been able to dry test this site. He explained how this is done. Mr. Figueroa discussed the capacity of the tower and did not see any future need for more towers in this area. Mr. Parilo agreed with the metal slats being tan earth tones in the.. fence and with the tower being galvanized to help blend in with the background. The hearing was closed Mr. Parilo concurred with staffs recommendation to recommend to the Planning Commission that the Minor Use Permit for American Tower Corporation, MUP 00-10, be approved subject to the findings and conditions listed below. He stated that there is a mitigation measure dealing with the vernal pool issues. He modified Condition 1 to read as follows: "The tower shall be galvanized to help blend in with the background. Metal slats, painted a light tan earth tone color, shall be installed on the chain link fence surrounding the lease area. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit an example of the color of the slats to the Planning Division for review and approval (Mitigation Measure 1)" 1.

AT&T would like to make the following changes to this wireless facility: 1) Replace six (6) of the nine (9) existing antennas that are currently 52" tall x 11.4"wide with three (3) new antennas that are 52.2" tall x 18.3" wide and another three (3) that are 51.8" tall x 10.3" wide. 2) Install 12 —115/8" coax to the outside of the self' -support structure in the same existing fashion; 3) Install three (3) 11" x 6" tower mounted amplifiers, one (1) per sector. I would appreciate it if you would take some time to look into the file. and determine what my subsequent zoning approval process would be, if any. Ideally,'it would be great if these minor changes would be exempt from any further action and deemed to be in substantial conformance with the original Minor Use Permit.

BACKGROUND: 1. Name of Proponent: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa, Community Planning Services) 2. Address: 12150 Tributary Point Drive, Gold River, CA 95670 . . Phone: (707) 678-3015 3. Name of Proposal: N/A 4. Type of Proiect: Minor Use Permit 5. Project Description: This is an application to allow a 185 -foot high self-supporting lattice tower to provide digital wireless communications (cellular phone service) along the Highway 99 corridor north of Chico. Two cellular phone service providers (Pacific Bell and Ubiquitel) and possibly one additional provider will colocate on the tower. Panel antennas will be mounted on the top of the tower, at the 170 -foot height, at the 155 -foot height, and at the 125 foot height. Small vertical antennas will be mounted at the 135 -foot height and at the 115 -foot height for paging services. The overall height of the tower with attached antennas will be 187 feet above ground level. Equipment shelters and cabinets will be installed on, top of concrete pads within the lease area. No emergency generators are proposed, but several of the equipment shelters/cabinets will contain gel -type batteries to provide emergency backup power. The applicant does not propose to paint the tower or to place a light on the tower unless required to do so by the County. The tower and equipment shelters/cabinets will be located within a 60 -foot x 100 -foot (6,000 square feet) lease area, which will be surrounded by a 6 -foot tall chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire. The lease area is located approximately 291 feet west of Highway 99. Access to the lease area will be via a new gravel driveway from Hamilton Nord Cana Highway. The proposed communication facility will be unmanned, and does not require a water source or a sewage disposal system. Maintenance technicians will visit the site approximately four to eight times per month for inspection and preventative maintenance. The tower and all ancillary equipment are hereafter referred to as the "communication facility." 6. Location of property: On the east side of Hamilton Nord Cana Highway, approximately .8 miles north of Cana Highway, at 15082 Hamilton -Nord -Can Highway, north of Chico. 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division ■ Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 7. Setting: The project site is zoned A-40 ( Agricultural, 40 -acre minimum parcel size) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Orchard and Field Crops.. Surrounding parcels range in size from 21 to 243 acres. Land uses on surrounding and nearby parcels include pastures, dwellings at rural residential densities, and several commercial uses on Highway 99 just south of the site. No orchards are located on surrounding parcels. The 47.69 -acre project site is developed with a dwelling unit and agricultural structures. The project site is currently used for horse and sheep grazing. The project parcel is level and does not contain any watercourses. The area where the tower will be located consists of grasses . and has been regularly plowed. 8. Assessor's Parcel Numbers:- 047-100-143 9. Date Checklist Submitted: July 24, 2000 10. Other public agencies whose approval is required (e.g., permits, financing approval, or participation agreement): Butte County Building Division, Butte County Public Works Department, Butte County Fire Department/CDF. II. DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: ❑ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I 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 revisions have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ I find that the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been ❑ adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 2 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in, an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. L �� zU Prepared by: Stephen Betts, Senior Planner Date Re ewed by andy Wilson, Principal Planner Date III. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ® Aesthetics ❑ Agriculture Resources ❑ Air Quality ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Geology/Soils ❑ Hazards/Hazardous Materials ❑ Hydrology/Water Quality ❑ Land Use/Planning ❑ Mineral Resources ❑ Noise ❑ Population/Housing ❑ Public Services ❑ Recreation ❑ Transportation/Traffic ❑ Utilities/Service Systems ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced` information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific. screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. ■' Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ K3 Project: American Tower Corporation (c% Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site- specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) - The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 4 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Response: t x. x x x a.. -. d. The digital cellular phone service to be provided by the proposed .communication facility does not have the same power output as provided by non -digital cellular phone service, and requires towers that are spaced closer together than the existing non -digital towers. According to the applicant, there are no existing towers along the Highway 99 corridor in the north county area that they can colocate their antennas on. Staff conducted a visual inspection of the Highway 99 corridor and confirmed that there are no towers along Highway 99 from the north county line until just north of Chico. Digital cellular phone service requires the use of panel antennas which are very directional. Placing the proposed tower further away from Highway 99, where it may be less observable, may significantly reduce the ability of the applicant to provide digital phone service to the Highway 99 corridor, and may require the installation of additional towers to provide the necessary coverage. ■ Butte County Department of Development, Services ■ Planning Division ■ 5 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated.'. Impact Impact Wireless communication facilities and towers can present a negative aesthetic impact due to their high visibility and metal construction. Approval of the communication facility, which includes a 185 -foot tall lattice tower, may result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and to the area's visual aesthetics. The project site is located in an agricultural area that consists mostly of large parcels used for livestock grazing and one dwelling per parcel. There are forty parcels within a one mile radius of the proposed tower. Other than 30 to 40 -foot tall power poles along the roads in the area and large billboards along Highway 99, there are no tall structures in the project area. The project area has good views of the foothills and mountains to the east during periods of good visibility. The proposed tower will be visible from a wide area due to the lack of tall vegetation in the area. Photosimulations of the proposed tower, as viewed from Highway 99, show that the tower will be a prominent feature of the landscape. The tower is not proposed to.be painted with alternating aviation orange and white stripes, nor is a light proposed to be placed on the top, thus decreasing the aesthetic impact. In order to help less the visual impact caused by the proposed 185 -foot tall tower a mitigation measure is recommend that requires the tower be painted a neutral color to help blend in with the background. Mitigation Measure 1: The tower and attached antennas shall be painted a neutral color to help blend in with the background. Prior to issuance of a building permit, 'the applicant shall submit an example of the neutral color to the Planning Division for review and approval. The tower shall be painted the approved color. 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant. environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 9 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Potentially With Significant Mitigation Impact Incorporated Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non- agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? Less Than Significant Impact No Impact X Y X a. - c. The only agricultural uses established on the project site is grazing. Agricultural uses on surrounding parcels also consists of grazing. No orchards are located near the project site. The soils in the area of the proposed communication facility have a Soil Conservation Service land capability classification of III, which are considered good agricultural soils (Butte County Master Environmental Assessment, Table LU -4). A Williamson Act contract does not affect the property, but the property is suitable for consideration of a contract due to the agricultural uses already established on the property. The proposed communication facility would not prevent the property from being considered for a Williamson Act contract. The 6,000 square foot lease area that the communication facility will be located in will not be useable for agricultural purposes. However, the loss of this small area for agricultural uses will not have a significant impact on agricultural operations on the project site. Itis not anticipated that the project will have a significant impact on agricultural operations on or off the project site. Comments were requested from the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner's Office regarding this project and it's potential impact to agricultural operations. The Agricultural Commissioner states that the proposed tower will not conflict with any aerial agricultural operations. Mitigation Measure: None required. 3. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 7 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Potentially Significant Impact a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? _ Response: Less Than Significant Less With Than . Mitigation . Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact X X X X X a. - c. According to the Butte County Air Quality Management District, Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. The project will generate a small amount of exhaust emissions from vehicles and construction equipment during site development activities. Due to the limited number of vehicle trips that will be generated during construction of project, and the limited use of heavy construction equipment, these exhaust emissions will not create a significant.impact. The site access road will be a gravel road, and vehicles entering and exiting the site have the potential to create fugitive dust emissions. This is not expected to be significant due to the limited number of vehicle trips that will be generated during installation of the tower. Additional fugitive dust emissions may occur during soil disturbance activities. The only soil disturbance to occur will be the excavation for the footings of the tower and for the concrete slabs that the equipment ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 0 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact shelters/cabinets will be placed on. The Butte County Air Quality Management District commented on this project and recommends that the applicant control fugitive dust emissions during site development activities to prevent creating a public nuisance and causing violations of particulate air quality standards. The project will be conditioned to require that measures be taken to prevent fugitive, dust emissions. d. No sensitive receptors, such as schools or hospitals, are located near the project site. e. The project will not create any odors. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh; vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning: Division ■ 0 x W x Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Potentially Significant Impact d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources such as a tree preservation policy ordinance. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Response: Less Than Significant 'With Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact F x x a. - d. Very little native vegetation remains on the site due to the agricultural operations established on the property. Most of the project site has been regularly disced for agricultural purposes. No wetlands or vernal pools are located in the area proposed for development. The project site is not located near any state or federal wildlife areas. The project site is not known to be inhabited by any rare, threatened, or endangered animal species (Butte County Master Environmental Assessment, Figure Bio -2). The project site is located in a general area that has the potential for being habitat for Fremont's calycadenia (Calycadenia fremontii), which the Butte County Master Environmental Assessment (Table Bio -4) states is a Category 2 Candidate for Federal listing as a threatened or endangered plant species. However, the April 2000 edition of the California Department of Fish and Game's State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Plants of California does not list Fremont's calycadenia. All of the mapped occurrences of Fremont's calycadenia are located on the west side of Hamilton Nord Cana Highway (Butte County Master Environmental Assessment, Figure Bio -2). The project site is also located in a general area known to contain populations of the Butte County Meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. californica), which is listed as a State Endangered plant species (California Department of Fish and Game, State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Plants of California, April 2000). According to the applicant's biologist ■.

No impacts are expected to occur to these plant species. e. The proposal will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources such as a tree preservation policy ordinance. f. The proposal will not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan. Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. Mitigation Measure: None recommended. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5? Y b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? K c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? _ K d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? K Response: a. - d. According to Butte County constraints mapping, the project site is located in an area . considered to have a low archeological sensitivity. Classification of this property as having a low sensitivity for archeological resources does not in itself preclude the presence of archeological resources. The soils where the tower will be located have been extensively disturbed due to agricultural operations and the chance of finding intact cultural resources is considered remote. All the structures on the site are modern, and there are no buildings of historical interest. No impacts.are expected to occur to any cultural resources. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 11 Project: American Tower Corporation (c% Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Potentially Significant Impact Mitigation Measure: None required. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: 1) Rupture of a known earth- quake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other sub- stantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. 2) Strong seismic ground shaking? 3) Seismic -related ground failure, including liquefaction? 4) Landslides? b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? - _ Less Than x Significant Less With Than Mitigation Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 12 x x X X V X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 12 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation. Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact d) Be located on expansive soil, as . defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating sub- stantial risks to life or property? )t e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal system where sewers are not available for the disposal or waste water? �t Response: a.1. The Seismic Safety Element of the Butte County General. Plan indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. No known earthquake faults are located near the project site. One earthquake epicenter that had an earthquake of 0.1 to 3.9 magnitude on the Richter Scale is located approximately .7 miles to the southwest of the communication facility site (Butte County GIS seismic constraints mapping). A structural analysis of the tower, certified by a registered civil engineer, states that the tower complies with the Uniform Building Code. The Butte County Building Division will ensure that the proposed tower meets Uniform Building Code standards for structural integrity during seismic events. No impact is expected to occur. The tower is situated on the project site such that in the unlikely event of structural failure, such as from a seismic event, the tower will not fall onto an adjacent parcel. a.2. The intensity of ground shaking at any specific site depends on the characteristics of the earthquake, the distance from the earthquake, and on the local geologic soils and conditions. At present, there is insufficient data to predict accurately the expected ground motions at various locations in Butte County. a.3. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a low potential for liquefaction. No impact is anticipated. a.4. The Subsidence and Landslide Potential Map .of the Safety Element of.the Butte County General Plan indicates that there is.no potential for landslides in this area. No impact is anticipated. b. The Erosion Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that the project site has a slight soil erosion potential. No soil erosion ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 13 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact impacts are anticipated because there will only be a very minimal amount of soil disturbance and because the area that will be disturbed is level. C. No impact is anticipated from instability, landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. d. The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has a high expansive soil designation. The Butte County Building Division will review the building plans for the tower and will ensure that the tower's foundation can handle the shrink/swell characteristics of the expansive soils. e. A waste disposal system is not required. No impact will occur. Mitigation Measure: None required. 7. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed schools? _ X X x d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites complied pursuant to Government Code Section 65.962.5 and, as a result, would it ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division, ■ 14 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?

Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact from the proposed tower will be a fraction of the radio emissions allowed by FCC standards for cellular phone facilities. The communication facility will be surrounded by a 6 -foot tall chain link fence topped with 3 strands of barbed wire. Access into the lease area willbe limited to company personnel through a locked gate. e. - g. The project site is located approximately 5.8 miles northwest of the nearest runway at the Chico Municipal Airport. The property is not located within an airport land - use plan and is not located near a private airstrip. The project will not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The property is outside the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission's area of review. A FAA Obstacle Evaluation (O/E) analysis is not required for this project because the proposed tower does not exceed 200 feet above ground level and is not within any protected airspace. No impact will be incurred. h. The project is not located within a State Response Area for wildland fires. The nearest fire station is Station # 41, located approximately 4.7 miles to the south of the property along Highway 99. The Butte County Fire Department/CDF requests that the driveway serving the communication facility be at least 10 feet wide and be capable of supporting a 40,000 pound fire apparatus. The Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance has a higher driveway standard, requiring the access driveway to be at least 12 feet wide and capable of supporting a 40,000 pound fire apparatus. i. A structural analysis of the tower, certified by a registered civil engineer, states that the tower complies with the Uniform Building Code. The tower will be situated on the project parcel so that in the unlikely event of structural failure, such as from an extremely strong earthquake or extremely strong winds, the tower will not fall onto an adjoining parcel.

General Plan/Zoning Map APN: 047-100-143 D. Initial Study E. Site Plan STAFF COMMENT:- Staff OMMENT: Staff recommends approval of the Minor Use Permit with conditions and findings. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SITE CHARACTERISTICS: This is an application for a Minor Use Permit to erect a 185 -foot high self-supporting lattice tower to provide digital wireless communications (cellular phone service) and paging service along the Highway 99 corridor north of Chico. Four cellular phone service providers (Pacific Bell Wireless, Verizon, Ubiquitel, and AT&T) will colocate on the tower. Panel antennas will be centered at the 185 -feet height, at the 170 -foot height, at the 155 -foot height, and at the 125 -foot height. Small vertical antennas will be mounted at the 145 -foot height.for paging services. The overall height of the tower with attached antennas will be 190 feet above ground level. Equipment shelters and cabinets will be installed on top of four concrete pads at the base of the tower. No emergency ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE I ■ generators are proposed, but several of the equipment shelters/cabinets will contain batteries to provide emergency backup power. The applicant does not propose to paint the tower or to place a light on the tower unless required to do so by the County. The tower and equipment shelters/cabinets will be located within a 60 -foot X 100 -foot (6,000 square feet) lease area, which will be surrounded by a 6 -foot tall chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire. The lease area is located 365 feet west of Highway 99. Access to the lease area will be via a new gravel driveway from Hamilton Nord Cana Highway. The proposed communication facility will be unmanned, and does not require a water source ora sewage disposal system. Electrical power for the site will be obtained from an existing power line that is located adjacent to the proposed lease area. Maintenance technicians will visit the site approximately four to eight times per month for inspection and preventive maintenance. The project site is zoned A-40 ( Agricultural, 40 -acre minimum parcel size) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Orchard and Field Crops. Surrounding parcels range in size from 21 to 243 acres. Land uses on surrounding and nearby parcels include pastures, dwellings at rural residential densities, and several commercial uses on Highway 99 just south of the site. No orchards are located on surrounding parcels. The 47.69 -acre project site is developed with a dwelling unit and agricultural structures. The project site is currently used for horse and sheep grazing. The soils on the site have been extensively disturbed due to agricultural operations. The project parcel is mostly level and does not contain any watercourses. ANALYSIS: General Plan and Zoning: The project site is designated as Orchard and Field Crops by the Land Use Element Map of the General Plan, which allows public uses as secondary uses (note: cellular phone service providers are considered a public utility). Section 24-91 of Butte County Code states that wireless communication facilities are not permitted in the A-40 zone unless a Minor Use Permit is obtained, subject to the requirements of Butte County Code Section 24-262. The Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance (Butte County Code Section 24-262) allows new communication facilities in the A-40 zone with approval of a Minor Use Permit, subject to numerous requirements. The project has been conditioned to meet the requirements of Section 24-262, including: Submittal of bonds to cover the costs of a one-time radio-frequency analysis and removal of the tower and all support facilities. Radio-frequency emissions in excess of FCC standards are not allowed. Facilities that are not in continual use for a period of six (6) months shall be considered to be abandoned. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 2 0 Verification submitted annually attesting that the radio frequency radiation/electromagnetic frequency (RF/EMF) emitted by the facility conforms to safety standards set forth in FCC OET 65. Access to the site must be at least 12 feet wide and capable of supporting a 40,000 pound fire apparatus. Aesthetic Impacts - The digital cellular phone service to be provided by the proposed communication facility does not have the same power output as provided by non -digital cellular phone service, and requires towers that are spaced.closer together than the existing towers. According to the applicant, there are no existing towers along the Highway 99 corridor in the north county area. Staff conducted a visual inspection of the Highway 99 corridor and confirmed that there are no towers along Highway. 99 from the north county line until just north of Chico. , Digital phone service .requires the use of panel antennas which are very directional. Placing the proposed tower further away from Highway 99, where it may be less observable, may significantly reduce the ability of the four digital phone providers to provide digital phone service to the Highway 99 corridor, and may require the installation of additional towers to provide the necessary coverage. Wireless communication facilities and towers can present a negative aesthetic impact due to their high visibility and metal construction. Approval of the communication facility, which includes a 185 -foot tall lattice tower, may result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and to the area's visual aesthetics. The project area has good views of the foothills and mountains to the east during periods of good visibility. The proposed tower will be visible from a wide area. Photosimulations of the proposed tower, as viewed from Highway 99, show that the tower will be a prominent feature of the landscape. In order to help lessen the visual impact caused by the proposed 185 -foot tall tower a mitigation measure is recommend that requires the tower be painted a neutral color to help blend in with the background. The new Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance (Butte County Code Section 24-262) states that the goal of the ordinance is to encourage the location of new towers in non-residential areas, minimize the total number of new towers, and encourage the colocation of facilities at appropriate new tower sites. This project is consistent with these goals. Agricultural Impacts The only agricultural use established on the project site is grazing. Agricultural uses on surrounding parcels also consist of grazing. No orchards are located near the project site. The 6,000 square foot lease area will not be useable for agricultural purposes. However, the loss of this small area for agricultural uses will not have a significant impact on agricultural operations on the project site. It is not anticipated that the project will have a significant impact on agricultural operations on or off the project site. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 3 ■ Comments were requested from the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner's Office regarding this project and its potential impact to agricultural operations. The Agricultural Commissioner states that the proposed tower will not conflict with any aerial agricultural operations. Radio -Frequency Emissions The radio emissions from the proposed antennas are regulated by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). A radio-frequency analysis written by a registered radio-frequency engineer indicates that the radio emissions from the antennas on the proposed tower will be within FCC standards for cellular phone facilities for publicly accessible areas near the tower. The communications facility will be surrounded by a six-foot tall fence with three strands of barbed wire on top. Access to the communications facility will be limited to company personnel. Vernal Pool Impacts A biological report for the site was submitted by a biologist retained by the applicant. The report (dated July 23, 2000) did not identify any Federal or State listed plant species or vernal pools on the site. However, a functional vernal pool is located on the parcel to the north, directly adjacent to the proposed site access road. The report recommends that measures be taken to prevent impacts to the vernal pool caused by construction of the site access road. These measures include flagging of the pool, construction of a berm between the access road and the vernal pool, and a four -foot setback from the access road and the fence. These measures are incorporated into the project as conditions of project approval. ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION: Staff recommends that -the Planning Manager take the following actions: I. Recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. Find that an Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, that said study identified potential significant environmental effects and includes mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels, and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. B. Find that the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the'public review process. C. Find, on the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the American Tower Corporation Minor Use Permit project, as mitigated, will not have a significant effect on the environment. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 4 ■ D. Find that the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the County, which is the lead agency. E. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts, with one mitigation measure, as detailed in this agenda report, and authorize the Chair to sign. II. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat, and a "de minimus" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat is recommended. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3) and 14 CCR 753.5. is not recommended. III. Recommend approval to the Planning Commission of Minor Use Permit 00-10 for American Tower Corporation, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit A and subject to the following findings: A. That the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use is in accordance with the purpose of this Ordinance, the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, the Butte County General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the County because: Project conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 24-262 (Wireless Communication Facilities), the Butte County Building Division, the Butte County Public Works Department, and the Butte County Air Quality Management District. The project is in accordance with the purpose of the zone in which the land lies and the Butte County General Plan because the project site is designated. Orchard and Field Crops and is zoned A-40. The Orchard and Field Crops land use designation allows public utilities as Secondary Uses. The A-40 zone allows new communication facilities with approval of a Minor Use Permit. B. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with, and will not adversely affect, or be detrimental to adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration given to: Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density: The proposed tower will be the tallest structure in the project area. However, tall structures are normally found in agricultural areas. The lattice design of the tower will help minimize visual impacts. 2. The availability of public facilities, services and utilities: Electrical power service is already established to the property and no additional services or utilities are required. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 5 0 3. The harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character: The project will not have a harmful effect upon the neighborhood character because the site is not located in a residential zone and tall structures are found in agricultural areas. The radio-frequency emissions from the proposed antennas must meet FCC standards. 4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets: Only a- very minor number of vehicle trips will be generated during installation of the communications facility. The communication facility will be unmanned and approximately eight vehicle trips per month will occur after installation. No access will be allowed to Highway 99 from the site. 5. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed: The site is suited for the project because it is not located in a residential zone.

General Plan/Zoning Map APN: 047-100-143 D. Initial Study E. Site Plan STAFF COMMENT: Staff recommends approval of the Minor Use Permit with conditions and findings. . PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SITE CHARACTERISTICS: This is an application for a Minor Use Permit to erect a 185 -foot high self-supporting lattice tower to provide digital wireless communications (cellular phone service) and paging service along the Highway 99 corridor north of Chico. Four cellular phone service providers (Pacific Bell Wireless, Verizon, Ubiquitel, and AT&T) will colocate on the tower. Panel antennas will be centered at the 185 -feet height, at the 170-f6ot height, at the 155 -foot height, and at the 125 -foot height. Small vertical antennas will be mounted at the 145 -foot height for paging services. The overall height of the tower with attached antennas will be 190 feet above ground level. Equipment shelters and cabinets will be installed on top of four concrete pads at the base of the tower. No emergency 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 1 0 generators are proposed, but several of the equipment shelters/cabinets will contain batteries to provide emergency backup power. The applicant does not propose to paint the tower or to place a light on the tower unless required to do so by the County. The tower and equipment shelters/cabinets will be located within a 60 -foot X 100 -foot (6,000 square feet) lease area, which will be surrounded by a 6 -foot tall chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire. The lease area is located 365 feet west of Highway 99. Access to the lease area will be via a new gravel driveway from Hamilton Nord Cana Highway. The proposed communication facility will be unmanned, and does not require a water source or a sewage disposal system. Electrical power for the site will be obtained from an existing power line that is located adjacent to the proposed lease area. Maintenance technicians will visit the site approximately four to eight times per month for inspection and preventive maintenance. The project site is zoned A-40 ( Agricultural, 40 -acre minimum parcel size) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Orchard and Field Crops. Surrounding parcels range in size from 21 to 243 acres. Land uses 'on surrounding and nearby parcels include pastures, dwellings at rural residential densities, and several commercial uses on Highway 99 just south of the site. No orchards are located on surrounding parcels. The 47.69 -acre project site is developed with a dwelling unit and agricultural structures.. The project site is currently used for horse and sheep grazing. The soils on the site have been extensively disturbed due to agricultural operations. The project parcel is mostly level and does not contain any watercourses.' ANALYSIS: General Plan and Zoning: The project site is designated as Orchard and Field Crops by the Land Use Element Map of the General Plan, which allows public uses as secondary uses (note: cellular phone service providers are considered a public utility). Section 24-91 of Butte County Code states that wireless communication facilities are not permitted in the A-40 zone unless a Minor Use Permit is obtained, subject to the requirements of Butte County Code Section 24-262. The Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance (Butte County Code Section 24-262) allows new communication facilities in the A-40 zone with approval of a Minor Use Permit, subject to numerous requirements. The project has been conditioned to meet the requirements of Section 24-262, including: • Submittal of bonds to cover the costs of a one-time radio-frequency analysis and removal of the tower and all support facilities. • Radio-frequency emissions in excess of FCC standards are not allowed. Facilities .that are not in continual use for a period of six (6) months shall be considered to be abandoned. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 2 ■ i Verification submitted annually attesting that the radio frequency radiation/electromagnetic frequency (RF/EMF) emitted by the facility conforms to safety standards set forth in FCC OET 65. Access to the site must be at least 12 feet wide and capable of supporting a 40,000 pound fire apparatus. Aesthetic Impacts The digital cellular phone service to be provided by the proposed communication facility does not have the same power output as provided by non -digital cellular phone service, and requires towers that are spaced closer together than the existing towers. According to the applicant, there are no existing towers along the Highway 99 corridor in the north county area. Staff conducted a visual inspection of the Highway 99 corridor and confirmed that there are no towers along Highway 99 from the north county line until just north of Chico. Digital phone service requires the use of panel antennas which are very directional. Placing the proposed tower further away from Highway 99, where it may be less observable, may significantly reduce the ability of the four digital phone providers to provide digital phone service to the Highway 99 corridor, and may require the installation of additional towers to provide the necessary coverage. Wireless communication facilities and towers can present a negative aesthetic impact due to their high visibility and metal construction. Approval of the communication facility, which includes a 185 -foot tall lattice tower, may result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and to the area's visual aesthetics. The project area has good views of the foothills and mountains to the east during periods of good visibility. The proposed tower will be visible from a wide area. Photosimulations of the proposed tower, as viewed from Highway 99., show that the tower will be a prominent feature of the landscape. In order to help lessen the visual impact caused by the proposed 185 -foot tall tower a mitigation measure is recommend that requires the tower be painted a neutral color to help blend in with. the background. The new Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance (Butte County Code Section 24-262) states that the goal of the ordinance is to encourage the location of new towers in non-residential areas, minimize the total number of new towers, and encourage the colocation of facilities at appropriate new tower sites. This project is consistent with these goals-. Agricultural Impacts The only agricultural use established on the project site is grazing. Agricultural uses on surrounding parcels also consist of grazing. No orchards are located near the project site. The 6,000 square foot lease area will not be useable for agricultural purposes. However, the loss of this small area for agricultural uses will not have a significant impact on agricultural operations on the project site. It is not anticipated that the project will have a significant impact on agricultural operations on or off the project site. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 3 0 Comments were requested from the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner's Office regarding this project and its potential impact to agricultural operations. The Agricultural Commissioner states that the proposed tower will not conflict with any aerial agricultural operations. Radio -Frequency Emissions The radio emissions from the proposed antennas are regulated by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). A radio-frequency analysis written by a registered radio-frequency engineer indicates that the radio emissions from the antennas on the proposed tower will be within FCC standards for cellular phone facilities for publicly accessible areas near the tower. The communications facility will be surrounded by a six-foot tall fence with three strands of barbed wire on top. Access to the communications facility will be limited to company personnel. Vernal Pool Impacts A biological report for the site was submitted by a biologist retained by the applicant. The report (dated July 23, 2000) did not identify any Federal or State listed plant species or vernal pools on the site. However, a functional vernal pool is located on the parcel to the north, directly adjacent to the proposed site access road. The report recommends that measures be taken to prevent impacts to the vernal pool caused by construction of the site access road. These measures include flagging of the pool, construction of a berm between the access road and the vernal pool, and a four -foot setback from the access road and the fence. These measures are incorporated into the project as conditions of project approval. ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Manager take the following actions: I. Recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. Find that an Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, that said study identified potential significant environmental effects and includes mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels, and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. B. Find that the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the public review process. C. Find, on the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the American Tower Corporation Minor Use Permit project, as mitigated, will not have a significant effect on the environment. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 8 PAGE 4 ■ D. Find that the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the County, which is the lead agency. E. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts, with one mitigation measure, as detailed in this agenda report, and authorize the Chair to sign. II. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat, and a "de minimus" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat is recommended. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3) and 14 CCR 753.5. is not recommended. III. Recommend approval to the Planning Commission of Minor Use Permit 00-10 for American Tower Corporation, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit A and subject to the following findings: A. That the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed' use is in accordance with the purpose of this Ordinance, the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, the Butte County General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the County because: Project conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 24-262 (Wireless Communication Facilities), the Butte County Building Division, the Butte County Public Works Department, and the Butte County Air Quality Management District. The project is in accordance with the purpose of the zone in which. the land lies and the Butte County General Plan because the project site. is designated Orchard and Field Crops and is zoned A-40. The Orchard and Field Crops land use designation allows public utilities asSecondary Uses. The A-40 zone allows new communication facilities with approval of a Minor Use Permit. B. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with, and will not adversely affect, or be detrimental to adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration given to: Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density: The proposed tower will be the tallest structure in the project area. However, tall structures are normally found in agricultural areas. The lattice design of the tower will help minimize visual impacts. 2. The availability of public facilities, services and utilities: Electrical power service is already established to the property and no additional services or utilities are required. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 5 ■ r - i 3. The harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character: The project will not have a harmful effect upon the neighborhood character because the site is not located in a residential zone and tall structures are found in agricultural areas. The radio-frequency emissions from the proposed antennas must meet FCC standards. 4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets: Only a very minor number of vehicle trips will be generated during installation of the communications facility. The communication facility will be unmanned and approximately eight vehicle trips per month will occur after installation. No access will be allowed to Highway 99 from the site. 5. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed: The site is suited for the project because it is not located in a residential zone. No significant impacts are anticipated to agricultural resources because only limited agricultural uses exist in the project area. 6. Any other relevant impact of the proposed use: . The Planning Division has circulated the proposed communication facility application to County Agencies and has received no evidence that the use -will cause any other relevant impact. C. Based on the above findings, the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. D. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Chapter 24, Section 262, of the Butte County Code. K:`,P ROJ ECTS\U P M\AISI E RICAN. M U P\ATC.

Steve Stephen Betts Senior Planner Butte County Planning Division 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, CA 95965 Desk (530) 538-7153 Fax (530) 538-7785 From: Bmrelr@aol.com [mailto:Bmrelr@aol.com] Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 11:50 AM To: Betts, Steve Subject: AT&T Antenna work, from BASIL Page 1 of 2 Hi, thanks for calling today. As a recap I had sent you information on three sites that AT&T will be making some modifications to. Ms Harry also has been talking with you on few sites she is working on. I will be getting you the same reports you required of her, for the sites I'm working on. Site #C011, Cana, we will be adding three antennas to the current configuration for a total of 12 antennas. MUP#00-12 allowed for 12 antennas. The actual approval for this facility is MUP 00-10 (applicant was American Tower Corporation). MUP 00- 12 (applicant - AT&T Wireless) was denied by the Planning Commission, and AT&T Wireless subsequently proposed collocating on the ATC facility. The site plan for MUP 00-10 does not show an antenna array at the 115 -foot level and does not indicate the number of antennas on any of the arrays. I could not find anything in the building permit file for AT&T Wireless's array, but there was a building permit issued in 2001 for a nine -antenna array (applicant - ATC) at an unknown height. Since the number of antennas was not shown on the MUP 00-10 site plan, we can only assume that the nine antennas that AT&T Wireless has already mounted on the tower is what was approved under MUP 00-10 and that any additional antennas placed on this array would constitute a collocation, which.will require approval of a new Minor Use Permit. Site #C016, Dayton, we will be replacing existing antennas and I believe you said that would be OK. The replacement of the existing antennas does not appear to be a problem since they would not increase the height of the tower or cause a visual impact. We do require a RF analysis stating that the new antennas would not cause an increase in the tower's effective radiated power. Site #C018 North Gridley we will be adding Three antennas to the current configuration for a total of 12 antennas MUP#00-1.1 allowed for 12 antennas. 12/6/2004 Page 2 of 2 MUP 00-11 did allow up to 12 antennas mounted on an array centered at the 110 -foot level, and it appears that only nine antennas have been placed on the that array. /t appears- that the three additional antennas would be consistent with the number of antennas approved by MUP 00-11. The RF analysis for MUP 00- 11 took into consideration the emissionsfor all 12 antennas, and unless the three new antennas would exceed the RF emissions as estimated under MUP 00-11, no additional RF analysis is required. The three sites are all co -locations with multiple users. AT&T leases space from American Tower. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thanks for you help. Basil M.

Minor Use Permit 00-10, which allowed the tower, allowed up to four separate antenna arrays at various heights. Neither the Minor Use Permit nor the approved site plan indicated how many antennas could be mounted on each antennas array. AT&T Wireless subsequently applied for and received a building permit (01-0446) to mount nine antennas centered at the 125 -foot level on the tower. The approved building plans indicated that three antennas would be mounted on the array in the future. AT&T Wireless now desires to mount the three additional antennas on their array, which would result in a total of twelve (12) antennas on the array centered at the 125 -foot level. Staff evaluated this request and determined that it was consistent with Minor Use Permit 00-10, and no additional discretionary permits were required (a building permit(s) is. still required). The findings for approving this action are as follows: MUP 00-10 did not indicate the number of antennas to be mounted on each array. 2. Building Permit 01-0446 for the AT&T Wireless antenna array centered at the 125 -foot level indicated that a total of twelve antennas would be placed on this array. The additional antennas would not increase the height of the tower nor would they cause any visual impacts. cc: Building file Basil Rudnick, AT&T Wireless (via e-mail) Page 1 of 1 Betts, Steve From: Christopher, Yvonne Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 8:49 AM To: Bmrelr@aol.com Cc: Betts, Steve Subject: RE: C011 AT&TWS MUP 00-10 I have reviewed your request and concur that this can be handled administratively.

AT&T Wireless Services (AT&T) desires to add three antennas and associated coax runs to an existing antenna array at th=.s site. We provided the drawings and job description to Mr. Betts. The project is approved under MUP 00-10 as a collocation to be used by multiple carriers. While depicted on the approved zoning drawings, the specific number of antennas for each of the four carriers was not written on the zoning drawing. AT&T filed construction plans which were approved by Butte County. The construction drawings indicated 12 antennas. Nine antennas were installed immediately with three future antennas to be added at a later date. A stamped copy of these plans has been provided to your office. On December 20, 2000, AT&T notified the California Public Utilities Commission and Butte County Planning of AT&T's approval for 12 antennas. AT&T believes its current approval is for 12 antennas at this site. However should you not agree, paragraph 3 of the MUP 00-10 provides for minor changes to be approved administratively by the Directcr of Development Services. AT&T would be willing to pay all fees required for administrative approval. We respectfully request that the addition of 3 antennas be approved by your office. Thereafter, AT&T will perform a tower analysis to insure the structural integrity of the existing tower. Upon completion of this analysis, AT&T will apply for the appropriate building permits. If you wish to speak to me about this matter please call me at 916-769-7400. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, Basil M.

According to him, ATC is not a telephone corporation as defined in Section 234 of the Pubdic Utilities Code, and as such a parcel map is required for a lease. Section 234 states: 234. (a) "Telephone corporation" includes every corporation or person owning, controlling, operating, or managing any telephone line for compensation within this state. (b) "Telephone corporation" does not include any of the following: (1) Any hospital, hotel, motel, or similar place of temporary accommodation owning or operating message switching or billing equipment solely for the purpose of reselling services provided by a telephone corporation to its patients or guests. (2) Any one-way paging service utilizing facilities that are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, including, but not limited to, narrowband personal communications services described in Subpart D (commencing with Section 24.100) of Part 24 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on June 13, 1995. If ATC is a telephone corporation, please provide information stating such to us ASAP. I'm not sure if this new issue will prevent the Planning Commission from making a decision - they may want to add it as a condition of project approval.If they want to add the condition, they have to pull it from the consent agenda and hold a public hearing on it a month or so later. If ATC is not a telephone corporation, a parcel map will be required. This will take several months to process. One way around it is to have a telephone corporation, such as one of the carriers going on the tower, be the lessee. The Public Works Department will not sign off of any building permits for the tower until this issue is resolved. Let me know ASAP how you,intend to handle this. As a reminder, the project is scheduled for the September 14 Planning Commission meeting (at 9:30 a.m.).

Community Planning Services MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PLANNING DIVISION To: Planning Commission From: Stephen Betts, Senior Planner Subject: File # MUP 00-10 - Minor Use Permit application for American Tower Corporation for a 185 -foot tall lattice tower, APN 047-100-143 Date: September 28, 2000 At the September 14, 2000, Planning Commission Meeting, the Commission voted to set this consent agenda item for a public hearing. At that meeting, the Commission expressed concern if the proposed 185 -foot tall tower is an appropriate use due to the project site's proximately to Highway 99. The Commission also expressed concerns that the 185 -foot tall tower may cause impacts to agricultural aerial operations. The project is for a- 185 -foot high self-supporting lattice tower that will provide digital wireless. communications (cellular phone service) and paging services along the Highway 99 corridor north of Chico. Staff recommends that the Planning Commissioners review the Planning Manager's Agenda Report and the Initial Study, which were part of the September 14, 2000, Commission packet, for more detailed information on the project. The tower will initially support at least four cellular phone service providers and has space for additional antennas. The Planning Division originally received three applications for tall cellular towers along Highway 99 north of Chico. The cellular phone seryice providers have cooperated with County staff and with each other and agreed to place all their antennas on one tower instead of the three originally proposed. The Butte County Agricultural Commissioner did not object to the proposed tower due to its location away from crops that require aerial spraying. ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION: Com` Gown St9f recommends that the Planning NNanager-take the following actions: I. Recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. Find that an Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, that said study identified potential significant environmental effects and includes mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels, and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. 1 B. Find that the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the public review process. C. Find, on the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, thafthere is no substantial evidence that the American Tower Corporation Minor Use Permit project, as mitigated, will not have a significant effect on the environment. D. Find that the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the County, which is the -lead agency. E. Adopt the. Mitigated Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts, with one mitigation measure, as detailed in this agenda report, and authorize the Chair to.sign. II. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat, and a "de minimus" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat is recommended. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3) and 14 CCR 753.5. is not recommended. III. Recommend approval to the Planning Commission of Minor Use Permit 00-10 for American Tower Corporation, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit A and subject to the following findings: A. That the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use is in accordance with the purpose of this Ordinance, the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, the Butte County General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the County because: Project. conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 24-262 (Wireless Communication Facilities), the Butte County Building Division, the Butte County Public Works Department, and the Butte County Air Quality Management District. The project is in accordance with the purpose of the zone in which the land lies and the Butte County General Plan because the project site is designated Orchard and Field Crops and is zoned A-40. The Orchard and Field Crops land use designation allows public utilities as Secondary Uses. The A-40 zone allows new communication facilities with approval of a Minor Use Permit. 2 B. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with, and will not adversely affect, or be detrimental to adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration given to: 1: Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density: The proposed tower will be the tallest structure in the project area. However, tall structures are normally found in agricultural areas. The lattice design of the tower will help minimize visual impacts. 2.. The availability of public facilities, services and utilities: Electrical power service is already established to the property and no additional services or utilities are required. 3. The harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character: The project will not have a harmful effect upon the neighborhood character because the site is not located in a residential zone and tall structures. are found in agricultural areas. The radio-frequency emissions from the proposed antennas must meet FCC standards. 4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets: Only a very minor number of vehicle trips will be generated during installation of the communications facility. The communication facility will be unmanned and approximately eight vehicle trips per month will occur after installation. No access will be allowed to Highway 99 from the site. 5. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed: The site is suited for the project because it is not located in a residential zone. No significant impacts are anticipated to agricultural resources because only limited agricultural uses exist in the project area. 6. Any other relevant impact of the proposed use: The Planning Division has circulated the proposed communication facility application to County Agencies and has received no evidence that the use will cause any other relevant impact. C. Based on ,the above findings, the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it would be 3 operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. D. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Chapter 24, Section 262, of the Butte County Code.

NOTES OF DECISIONS A telephone directory is a constituent part of a telephone line under this statute. California Fire Proof Storage Co. v Brundige (1926) 199 C 185, 248 P 669, 47 ALR 811. In common understanding, telephone, telegraph, radio and television corporations are each different from the other and until Legislature otherwise provides, Supreme Court must so regard them. Television Transmission, Inc. v Public Utilities Com. (1956) 47 C2d 82, 301 P2d 862. Community television antenna is not operated "in connection with or to facilitate communication by telephone" or "in connection with or to facilitate communication by telegraph," as those words are commonly understood, where it simply enables its subscribers to receive television broadcasts that might otherwise be inaccessible to them. Television Transmission, Inc. v Public Utilities Com. (1956) 47 C2d 82, 301 Ptd 862. To be a telephone corporation, a community tele- vision antenna would have to operate telephone line, and though it may control, operate, or man- age "conduits, ducts, poles, wires, cables, instru- ments, and appliances ... real estate, fixtures, and personal property" and do so "in connection with or to facilitate communication," it does not operate a telephone line and is therefore not a telephone corporation unless such control, opera- tion or management are in connection with or to facilitate communication "by telephone." Televi- sion Transmission, Inc. v Public Utilities Com. (1956) 47 C2d 82, 301 P2d 862. Mere fact that telephone corporations are not prevented by law from using their lines for trans- mission of television broadcasts does not make any corporation that uses poles, wires, etc., to transmit such broadcasts, a telephone corporation; it is not enough that there be a transmission by use of poles, wires, etc.; transmission must be "in connec- tion with or to facilitate communication by tele- phone." Television Transmission, Inc. v Public Utilities Com. (1956) 47 C2d 82, 301 Ptd 862. Narrowly, "telephone' refers to instrument by which telephony is achieved, but in broad sense it includes entire art of speech transmission with the many accessories and operating methods which research, development and invention have supplied to facilitate and extend conversation at distance by electrical means. Commercial Communications, Inc. v Public Utilities Com. (1958) 50 C2d 512, 327 Ptd 513. It was intended that ownership of any plant or equipment would be sufficient, that operation and control would not be prerequisites to commission jurisdiction, and that such ownership could be of ..any part" of such plant or equipment. Commer- cial Communications, Inc. v Public Utilities Com. (1958) 50 C2d 512, 327 P2d 513. It is immaterial that telephone corporation does not remain in control of equipment of mobile communications system or that it does not furnish radio channel over which equipment is operated, these being matters of limitation imposed by fed- eral communications commission.

The tower and equipment shelters/cabinets will be located within a 60 -foot x 100 -foot (6,000 square feet) lease area, which will be surrounded by a 6 -foot tall chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire. The lease area is located 365 feet west of Highway 99. Access to the lease area will be via a new gravel driveway from Hamilton Nord Cana Highway. The proposed communication facility will be unmanned, and does not require a water source or a sewage disposal system. Electrical power for the site will be obtained from an existing power line that is located adjacent to the proposed lease area. Maintenance technicians will visit the site approximately four to eight times per month for inspection and preventive maintenance. The project site is zoned A-40 ( Agricultural, 40 -acre minimum parcel size) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Orchard and Field Crops. Surrounding parcels range in size from 21 to 243 acres. Land uses on surrounding and nearby parcels include pastures, dwellings at rural residential densities, and several commercial uses on Highway 99 just south of the site. No orchards are located on surrounding parcels. The 47.69 -acre project site is developed with a dwelling unit and agricultural structures. The project site is currently used for horse and sheep grazing. The soils on the site have been extensively disturbed due to agricultural operations. The project parcel is mostly level and does not contain any watercourses. ANALYSIS: General Plan and Zoning: The project site is designated as Orchard and Field Crops by the Land Use Element Map of the General Plan, which allows public uses as secondary uses (note: cellular phone service providers are considered a public utility). Section 24-91 of Butte County Code states that wireless communication facilities are not permitted in the A-40 zone unless a Minor Use Permit is obtained, subject to the requirements of Butte County Code Section 24-262. The Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance (Butte County Code Section 24-262) allows new communication facilities in the A-40 zone with approval of a Minor Use Permit, subject to numerous requirements. The project has been conditioned to meet the requirements of Section 24-262, including: Submittal of bonds to cover the costs of a one-time radio-frequency analysis and removal of the tower and all support facilities. Radio-frequency emissions in.excess of FCC standards are not allowed. Facilities that are not in continual use fora period of six (6) months shall be considered to be abandoned. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 2 ■ • • • • Verification submitted annually attesting that the radio frequency radiation/electromagnetic frequency (RF/EMF) emitted by the facility conforms to safety standards set forth in FCC OET 65. Access to the site must be at least 12 feet wide and capable of supporting a 40,000 pound fire apparatus. Aesthetic Impacts The digital cellular phone service to be provided by the proposed communication facility does not have the same power output as provided by non -digital cellular phone service, and requires towers that are spaced closer together than the existing towers. According to the applicant, there are no existing towers along the Highway 99 corridor in the north county area. Staff conducted a visual inspection of the Highway 99 corridor and confirmed that there are no towers along Highway 99 from the north county line until just north of Chico. Digital phone service requires the use of panel antennas which are very directional. Placing the proposed tower further away from Highway 99, where it may be less observable, may significantly reduce the ability of the four digital phone providers to provide digital phone service to the Highway 99 corridor, and may require the installation of additional towers to provide the necessary coverage. Wireless communication facilities and towers can present a negative aesthetic impact due to their high visibility and metal construction. Approval of the.. communication facility, which includes a 185 -foot tall lattice tower, may result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and to the area's visual aesthetics. The project area has good views of the foothills and mountains to the east during periods of good visibility. The proposed tower will be visible from a wide area. Photosimulations of the proposed tower, as viewed from Highway 99, show that the tower will be a prominent feature of the landscape. In order to. help lessen the visual impact caused by the proposed 185 -foot tall tower a mitigation measure is recommend that requires the tower be painted a neutral color to help blend in with the background. The new Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance (Butte County Code Section 24-262) states that the goal of the ordinance is to encourage the location of new towers in non-residential areas, minimize the total number of new towers, and encourage the colocation of facilities at appropriate new tower sites. This project is consistent with these goals. Agricultural Impacts The only agricultural use established on the project site is grazing. Agricultural uses on surrounding parcels also consist of grazing. No orchards are located. near the project site. The 6,000 square foot lease area will not be useable for agricultural purposes. However, the loss of this small area for agricultural uses will not have a significant impact on agricultural operations on the project site. It is not anticipated that the project will have a significant impact on agricultural operations on or off the project site. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 3 ■ •0 . •0 Comments were requested from the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner's Office regarding this project and its potential impact to agricultural operations. The Agricultural Commissioner states that the proposed tower will not conflict with any aerial agricultural operations. Radio -Frequency Emissions The radio emissions from the proposed antennas are regulated by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). A radio-frequency analysis written by a registered radio-frequency engineer indicates that the radio emissions from the antennas on the proposed tower will be within FCC standards for cellular phone facilities for publicly accessible areas near the tower. The communications facility will be surrounded by a six-foot tall fence with three strands _of barbed wire on top. Access to the communications facility will be limited to company personnel. Vernal Pool Impacts A biological report for the site was submitted by a biologist retained by the applicant. The report (dated July 23, 2000) did not identify any Federal or State listed plant species or vernal pools on the site. However, a functional vernal pool is located on the parcel to the north, directly adjacent to the proposed site access road. The report recommends that measures be taken to prevent impacts to the vernal pool caused by construction of the site access road. These measures include flagging of the pool, construction of a berm between the access road and the vernal pool, and a four -foot setback from the access road and the fence. These measures.are incorporated into the project as conditions of project approval. ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Manager take the following actions: Recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. Find that an Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, that said study identified potential significant environmental effects and includes mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels, and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. B. Find that the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the public review process. C. Find, on the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the American Tower Corporation Minor Use Permit project, as mitigated, will not have a significant effect on the environment. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 4 0 D. Find that the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement and analysis of the County, which is the lead agency. E. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts, with one mitigation measure, as detailed in this agenda report, and authorize the Chair to sign. II. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to . fish and wildlife or their habitat, and a "de minimus" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat is recommended. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3) and 14 CCR 753.5. is not recommended. III. Recommend approval to the Planning Commission of Minor Use Permit 00-10 for American Tower Corporation, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit A and subject to the following findings: A. That the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use is in accordance with the purpose of this Ordinance, the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, the Butte County General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the County because: Project conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 24-262 (Wireless Communication Facilities), the Butte County Building Division, the Butte County Public Works Department, and the Butte County Air Quality Management District. The project is in accordance with the purpose of the zone in which the land lies and the Butte County General Plan because the project site. is designated Orchard and Field Crops and is zoned A-40. The Orchard and Field Crops land use designation allows public utilities as Secondary Uses. The A-40 zone allows new communication facilities with approval of a Minor Use Permit. B. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with, and will not adversely affect, or be detrimental to adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration given to: Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density: The proposed tower will be the tallest structure in the project area. However, tall structures are normally found in agricultural areas. The lattice design of the tower will help minimize visual impacts. 2. The availability of public facilities, services and utilities: Electrical power service is already established to the property and no additional services or utilities are required. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 5 ■ 00 00 3. The harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character: The project will not have a harmful effect upon the neighborhood character because the site is not located in a residential zone and tall structures are found in' agricultural areas. The radio-frequency emissions from the proposed antennas must meet FCC standards. 4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets: Only a very minor number of vehicle trips will be generated during installation of the communications facility. The communication facility will be unmanned and approximately eight vehicle trips per month will occur after installation. No access will be allowed to Highway 99 from the site. 5. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed: The site is suited for the project because it is not located in a residential zone.- No significant impacts are anticipated to agricultural resources.because only -limited agricultural uses exist in the project area. 6. Any other relevant impact of the proposed use: . The Planning Division has circulated the proposed communication facility application to County Agencies and has received no evidence that the use will cause any other relevant impact. C. Based on the above findings, the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. D. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Chapter 24, Section 262, of the Butte County Code.

Davis Aquatic Biologist / Botanist Wildlife Photojournalist RE: Anita 1 : Initial Survey Results Dear Mr. Betts: I was retained by Mr. Dan Figueroa (for American Tower Corporation) to conduct a Initial Study (biological survey) of the Anita 1 site North of Chico. The purpose of my Initial Survey was to determine if the site contained vernal pool ecosystems or other habitat that might support listed species, and to recommend avoidance measures if sensitive habitats were found. Habitat that might support Butte County Meadowfoam and the federal -listed crustaceans was of special concern. The project consists of three components: the tower site, construction staging site, and the access road. The results of my Initial Survey are as follows: 1. Tower site: No impact. The site is at least 90% impaired due to 25 years of farming activities. The site is covered with one (1) foot of degraded almond hulls. There is no vernal pool habitat on this site. See enclosed photographs. 2. Construction staging site: No impact. Same as above. 3. Access Road: No impact with minor mitigation. A fence line (northern property line) separates the proposed access road from a functional vernal pool on the neighboring property. Potential damage to the adjacent vernal pool and listed species (if present) can be avoided (per CEQA) by the mitigation outlined in. my report. Sincerely, Ken W.

Initial Field Study - Page 3 RARE PLANT POPULATIONS ON SITE: Under.guidelines provided by.the. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the California. Department of Fish. & Game and the California .Native Plant. Society, rare plant surveys must be. completed during the target plants' blooming season: However: there Js NO indication that any rare - plant: or habitat that can'support rare plants, is on the.proposed site. The proposed site is at least 90% impaired and cannot support vernal pool endemics. NEARBY. RARE. PLANT POPULATIONS: The Tuscan Preserve (mitigation bank)- is approximately one=half mile to the Northwest. In 1988 a population of Butte County Meadowfoam, Limnanthes floccosa ssp Californica; (Federally endangered, California endangered), was translocated to the Tuscan Mitigation Bank. That population. is considered a range. extension for Butte County_ Meadowfoam. There is. one, report..(Copeland.1980) that L. floccosa is.native.to.the.area. However,.the Copeland. report describes -only. one plant found. growing . in . a . population of Limnanthes douglasi ssp -rosea: The identification was questioned by Jim Jokerst (Personal discussion with Roxanne Bittman, lead botanist, CDFG Natural Diversity Data Base: RareFind report Attachment #4.) RARE PLANT DATA BASES CONSULTED: 1: California Department of Fish & Game Natural Diversity Data Base. See Attachment # 4. 2. California Native Plant Society's inventory, of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California. See Attachment # 5. RESULTS OF SURVEY: 1. There is. no vernal. pool habitat on the proposed site, construction staging area, or the.access road.... . 2:. There is no drainage or..depression onthe property that can support Butte County. Meadowfoam or other vernal pool endemic including- vernal pool crustaceans. 3. A vernal pool on the adjacent property (north) can be damaged by the construction of the proposed access road. Recommended. mitigation. will. prevent runoff damage to.the .adjacent.pool (see images 6 and 7 on page 5)... SPECIES IDENTIFIED: 1. Puncture vine, Tribulus terrestris 2. Ryegrass,. Lolium multiflorum 3. Pig -weed,. Amaranthus.sp.., 4. Devil's claw; Proboscidea louisianica;. ssp: louisianica Wildlife Survey ,& Photo Service • 2443 Fair Oaks Blvd #209 • Sacramento, CA 95825 • (916) 747-8537 • Anita 10e° Initial Field Study - Page 4 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS: 1. Proposed Tower Site: No impact Explanation: The site is 90% impaired. According to the property owner, the site has been disked and/or grazed for more than 25 years. The owner has also been dumping almond hulls on the site for many years. The bed of aged hulls is approximately one (1) foot feet deep at the site. 2. Construction staging: No Impact Explanation: The construction staging area is adjacent to the proposed tower site and has the same physical characteristics. 3. Access road: Possible impact (mitigable) Explanation: Access to the proposed site is from Hamilton -Nord -Cana Highway. The proposed access road will run directly parallel to the northern property line within an existing public utility easement. An historic fence line was cut through a vernal pool. The South side of the. fence„ line has been disked and grazed for many years. There is NO vernal pool remnant on the South side where the access road will be constructed. The remaining vernal pool is on the adjoining property on- the North side of the fence. That habitat appears functional. Although dry, this years plant growth appears healthy. The species composition inside the pool appears consistent with the region. The uplands also look consistent with other pools in the region. Unmitigated runoff (sediment and pollutants) from construction and usage of the access road along the property line can impact the vernal pool on the northern side of the fence line. Suggested Mitigation: 1. Before construction, place flags along the fence line that delineate the vernal pool and the adjacent uplands. The flagging must be done by a scientist familiar with vernal pool topography. 2. Construct a one -foot high earthen berm along the southern side of the fence line to protect uplands and the vernal pool. The earthen berm should match the area flagged as described in #1 above. 3. Stake and flag a four (4) foot buffer between the fence line and the access road for the entire distance of the access road. Construction activities should avoid disturbing the soil buffer between the access road and the fence line. 4. Optional: If mitigation 1, 2, and 3 (above) are accepted, the site ShoUld be checked beforatho 2001 wet season to insure that the mitigation is effective.

BACKGROUND: 1. Name of Proponent: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa, Community Planning Services) 2. Address::- 12150 Tributary Point Drive, Gold River, CA 95670- Phone: (707) 678-3015 3. Name of Proposal: N/A 4. Type of Project: Minor Use Permit 5. Project Description: This is an application to allow a 185 -foot high self-supporting lattice tower to provide digital wireless communications (cellular phone service) along the Highway 99 corridor north of Chico. Two cellular phone service providers (Pacific Bell and Ubiquitel) and possibly one additional provider will colocate on the tower. Panel antennas will be mounted on the top of the tower, at the 170 -foot height, at the 155 -foot height, and at the 125 foot height. Small vertical antennas will be mounted at the 135 -foot height and at the 115 -foot height for paging services. The overall height of the tower with attached antennas will be 187 feet above ground level. Equipment shelters and cabinets will be installed on top of concrete pads within the lease area. No emergency generators are proposed, but several of the equipment shelters/cabinets will contain gel -type batteries to provide emergency backup power. The applicant does not propose to paint the tower or to place a light on the tower unless required to do so by the County. The tower and equipment shelters/cabinets will be located within a 60 -foot X 100 -foot (6,000 square feet) lease area, which will be surrounded by a 6 -foot tall chain-link fence with three strands of barbed wire. The lease area is located approximately 291 feet west of Highway 99. Access to the lease area will be via a new gravel driveway from Hamilton Nord Cana Highway. The proposed communication facility will be unmanned, and does not require a water source or a sewage disposal system. Maintenance technicians will- visit the site approximately four to eight times per month for inspection and preventative maintenance. The tower and all ancillary equipment are hereafter referred to as the "communication facility." 6. Location of property: On the east side of Hamilton Nord Cana Highway, approximately .8 miles north of Cana Highway, at 15082 Hamilton -Nord -Can Highway, north of Chico. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 1 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 7. Setting: The project site is zoned A-40 ( Agricultural, 40 -acre minimum parcel size) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Orchard and Field Crops.. Surrounding parcels range in size from 21 to 243 acres. Land uses on surrounding and nearby parcels include pastures, dwellings at rural residential densities, and several commercial uses on Highway 99 just south of the site. No orchards are located on surrounding parcels. The 47.69 -acre project site is developed with a dwelling unit and agricultural structures. The project site is currently used for horse and sheep grazing. The project parcel is level and does not contain any watercourses. The area where the tower will be located consists of grasses and has been regularly plowed. 8. Assessor's Parcel Numbers: 047-100-143 9. Date Checklist Submitted: July 24, 2000 10.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ® Aesthetics ❑ Agriculture Resources ❑ Air Quality ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Geology/Soils ❑ Hazards/Hazardous Materials ❑ Hydrology/Water Quality ❑ Land Use/Planning ❑ Mineral Resources ❑ Noise ❑ Population/Housing ❑ Public Services ❑ Recreation ❑ Transportation/Traffic ❑ Utilities/Service Systems ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 3 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) '`Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site- specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 4 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? 3t b) Substantially damage scenic resources including, but not limited to, trees, rock . outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? 1t c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? 1t d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? X Response: a. - d. The digital cellular phone service to be provided by the proposed communication facility does not have the same power output as provided by non -digital cellular phone service, and requires towers that are spaced closer together than the existing non -digital towers. According to the applicant, there are no existing towers along the Highway 99 corridor in the north county area that they can colocate their antennas on. Staff conducted a visual inspection of the Highway 99 corridor and confirmed that there are no towers along Highway 99 from the north county line until just north of Chico. Digital cellular phone service requires the use of panel antennas which are very directional. Placing the proposed tower further away from Highway 99, where it may be less observable, may significantly reduce the ability of the applicant to provide digital phone service to the Highway 99 corridor, and may. require the installation of additional towers to provide the necessary coverage. ■ Butte.County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 9 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated... .Impact Impact Wireless communication facilities and towers can present a negative aesthetic impact due to their high visibility and metal construction. Approval of the communication facility, which includes a 185 -foot tall lattice tower, may result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and to the area's visual aesthetics. The project site is located in an agricultural area that consists mostly of large parcels used for livestock grazing and one dwelling per parcel. There are forty parcels within a one mile radius of the proposed tower. Other than 30 to 40 -foot tall power poles along the roads in the area and large billboards along Highway 99, there are no tall structures in the project area. The project area has good views of the foothills and mountains to the east during periods of good visibility. The proposed tower will be visible from a wide area due to the lack of tall vegetation in the area. Photosimulations of the proposed tower, as viewed from Highway 99, show that the tower will be a prominent feature of the landscape. The tower is not proposed to be painted with alternating aviation orange and white stripes, nor is a light proposed to be placed on the top, thus decreasing the aesthetic impact. In order to help less the visual impact caused by the proposed 185 -foot tall tower a mitigation measure is recommend that requires the tower be painted a neutral color to help blend in with the background. Mitigation Measure 1: The tower and attached antennas shall be painted a neutral color to help blend in with the background. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit an example of the neutral color to the Planning Division for review and approval. The tower shall be painted the approved color. 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ E • u • Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non- agricultural use? )t b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? �t c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? K a. - c. The only agricultural uses established on the project site is grazing. Agricultural uses on surrounding parcels also consists of grazing. No orchards are located near the project site. The soils in the area of the proposed communication facility have a Soil Conservation Service land capability classification of III, which are considered good agricultural soils (Butte County Master Environmental Assessment, Table LU -4). A Williamson Act contract does not affect the property, but the property is suitable for consideration of a contract due to the agricultural uses already established on the property. The proposed communication facility would not prevent the property from being considered for a Williamson Act contract. The 6,000 square foot lease area that the communication facility will be located in will not be useable for agricultural purposes. However, the loss of this small area for agricultural uses will not have a significant impact on agricultural operations on the project site. It is not anticipated that the project will have a significant impact.on agricultural operations on or off the project site. Comments were requested from the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner's Office regarding this project and it's potential impact to agricultural operations. The Agricultural Commissioner states that the proposed tower will not conflict with any aerial agricultural operations. Mitigation Measure: None required. 3. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 7 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than. Significant Mitigation :-Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? X b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? X c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? X d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X Response: a. - c. According to the Butte County Air Quality Management District, Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. The project will generate a small amount of exhaust emi.ssions.from vehicles and construction equipment during site development activities. Due to the limited number of vehicle trips that will be generated during construction of project, and the limited use of heavy construction equipment, these exhaust emissions will not create a significant impact. The site access road will be a gravel road, and vehicles entering and exiting the site have the potential to create fugitive dust emissions. This is not expected to be significant due to the limited number of vehicle trips that will be generated during installation of the tower. Additional fugitive dust emissions may occur during soil disturbance activities. The only soil disturbance to occur will be the excavation for the footings of the tower and for the concrete slabs that the equipment ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning. Division ■ 0 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Potentially Significant Impact r: Less Than Significant Less With Than Mitigation Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact shelters/cabinets will be placed on. The Butte County Air Quality Management District commented on this project and recommends that the applicant control fugitive dust emissions during site development activities to prevent creating a public nuisance and causing violations of particulate air quality standards. The project will be conditioned to require that measures be taken to prevent fugitive dust emissions. d. No sensitive receptors, such as schools or hospitals, are located near the project site. e. The project will not create any odors. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the'project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?` b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans; policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? _ ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ x x x Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Potentially With Significant Mitigation Impact Incorporated d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native -resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources such as a tree preservation policy ordinance. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Response: Less Than. -Significant Impact No Impact x F -i x a. - d. Very little native vegetation remains on the site due to the agricultural operations established on the property. Most of the project site has been regularly disced for agricultural purposes. No wetlands or vernal pools are located in the area proposed for development. The project site is not located near any state or federal wildlife areas. The project site is not known to .be inhabited by any rare, threatened, or endangered animal species (Butte County Master Environmental Assessment, Figure Bio -2). The project site is located in a general area that has the potential for being habitat for Fremont's calycadenia (Calycadenia fremontii), which the Butte County Master Environmental Assessment (Table Bio -4) states is a Category 2 Candidate for Federal listing as a threatened or endangered plant species. However, the April 2000 edition of the California Department of Fish and Game's State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Plants of California does not list Fremont's calycadenia. All of the mapped occurrences of Fremont's calycadenia are located on the west side of Hamilton Nord Cana Highway (Butte County Master Environmental Assessment, Figure Bio -2). The project site is also located in a general area known to contain populations of the Butte County Meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. californica), which is listed as a State Endangered plant species (California Department of Fish and Game, State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Plants of California,. April 2000). According to the applicant's biologist ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 10 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact ' Incorporated Impact Impact (Ken Davis,) no Butte County Meadowfoam is located in the lease area. No impacts are expected to occur to these plant species. e. The proposal will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources such as a tree preservation policy ordinance. f. The proposal will not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan. Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. Mitigation Measure: None recommended. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5? X b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? K c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? 1t d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? 1t Response: a. - d. According to Butte County constraints mapping, the project site is located in an area considered to have a low archeological sensitivity. Classification of this property as having a low sensitivity for archeological resources does not in itself preclude the presence of archeological resources. The soils where the tower will be located have been extensively disturbed due to agricultural operations and the chance of finding intact cultural resources is considered remote. All the structures on the site are modern, and there are no buildings of historical interest. No impacts are expected to occur to any cultural resources. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 11 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Mitigation Measure: None required. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project. a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: 1) Rupture of a known earth- quake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other sub- stantial evidence of a known fault?

X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 12 Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating sub- stantial risks to life or property? �t e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal system where sewers are not available for the disposal or waste water? )t Response: a.1. The Seismic Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. No known earthquake faults are located near the project site. One earthquake epicenter that had an earthquake of 0.1 to 3.9 magnitude on the Richter Scale is located approximately .7 miles to the southwest of the communication facility site (Butte County GIS seismic constraints mapping). A structural analysis of the tower, certified by a registered civil engineer, states that the tower complies with the Uniform Building Code. The Butte County Building Division will ensure that the proposed tower meets Uniform Building Code standards for structural integrity during seismic events. No impact is expected to occur. The tower is situated on the project site such that in the unlikely event of structural failure, such as from a seismic event, the tower will not fall onto an adjacent parcel. a.2. The intensity of ground shaking at any specific site depends on the characteristics of the earthquake, the distance from the earthquake, and on the local geologic soils and conditions. At present, there is insufficient data to predict accurately the expected ground motions at various locations in Butte County. a.3. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a low potential for liquefaction. No impact is anticipated. a.4. The Subsidence and Landslide Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that there is no potential for landslides in this area. No impact is anticipated. b. The Erosion Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that the project site has a slight soil erosion potential. No soil erosion ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 13 • w Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Potentially Significant Impact • Less Than Significant Less with Than Mitigation Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact impacts are anticipated because there will only be a very minimal amount of soil disturbance and because the area that will be disturbed is level. C. No impact is anticipated from instability, landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. d., The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has a high expansive soil designation. The Butte County Building Division will review the building plans for the tower and will ensure that the tower's foundation can handle the shrink/swell characteristics of the expansive soils. e. A waste disposal system is not required. No impact will occur. Mitigation Measure: None required. 7. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one=quarter mile'of an existing or proposed schools? _ V X X d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites complied pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 arid, as a result, would it ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 14 • Project: Americin Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa),, MUP 00-10 Potentially Significant Impact create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? 0 For a project within the vicinity of a - private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences . are intermixed with wildlands?

The communication facility will be surrounded by a,6 -foot tall chain link fence topped with 3 strands of barbed wire. Access into the lease area will be limited to company personnel through a locked gate. e. - g. The project site is located approximately 5.8 miles northwest of the nearest runway at the Chico Municipal Airport. The property is not located within an airport land - use plan and is not located near a private airstrip. The project will not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The property is outside the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission's area of review. A FAA Obstacle Evaluation (O/E) analysis is not required for this project because the proposed tower does not exceed 200 feet above ground level and is not within any protected airspace. No impact will be incurred. h. ' The project is not located within a State Response Area for wildland fires. The nearest fire station is Station # 41, located approximately 4.7 miles to the south of the property along Highway 99. The Butte County Fire Department/CDF requests that the driveway serving the communication facility be at least 10 feet wide and be capable of supporting a 40,000 pound fire apparatus. The. Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance has a higher driveway standard, requiring the access driveway to be at least 12 feet wide and capable of supporting a 40,000 pound fire apparatus. A structural analysis of the tower, certified by a registered civil engineer, states that the tower complies with the Uniform Building Code. The tower will be situated on the project parcel so that in the unlikely event of structural failure, such as from an extremely strong earthquake or extremely strong winds, the tower will not fall onto an adjoining parcel. Mitigation Measure: None required. 8. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? 39 b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 16 E Project: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Potentially Significant Impact would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre- existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on - or off-site? d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows?

X j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X Response: a. - f. This project will not have an impact to surface and ground water quality or quantity. The project will not alter the existing drainage pattern of the site because only a very small area will be disturbed. The project will not- increase the rate or amount of surface runoff because only a very small area (approximately 1,200 square feet) will be covered with impermeable surfaces. g. - i. The project site is not located within a 100 -year flood zone as shown on Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Maps 060017C -0325C, dated June 8, 1998. j. The property is not located in an area prone to seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. No impact will be incurred with respect to these natural hazards. Mitigation Measure: None required. 9. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project? a) Physically divide an established community? b) Conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, the, general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 18 X X ProJect: American Tower Corporation (c/o Dan Figueroa), MUP 00-10 Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact , Incorporated Impact Impact c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? k Response: a.

The project site is zoned A-40 (Agricultural, 40 -acre minimum parcel size) and is designated by the Land Use Element Map of the Butte County General Plan as Orchard and Field Crops. Communication facilities are permitted in the A-40 zone with a Minor Use Permit. Public uses are allowed as a Secondary Use under the Orchard and Field Crops General Plan land use designation. Cellular phone service providers are considered a public utility. Surrounding parcels are zoned A-40 and U (Unclassified) and have a General Plan land use designation of Orchard and Field Crops and Grazing and Open Land. Surrounding and nearby parcels range in size from approximately 21 to 243 acres. Land uses on these parcels include livestock grazing, dwellings at rural residential densities, and commercial uses along Highway. The project will not conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. C. The property is not within a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. No impact will be incurred. Mitigation Measure: None required. 10. MINERAL RESOURCES.

Vehicle traffic on Highway 99 creates a steady background noise, but this noise is not significant at the tower location. The communication facility is unmanned and no one will be effected by this noise. It is not anticipated that the proposed communication facility will expose people to significant levels of noise. Development activities on the site will generate noise, such as the use of heavy machinery and power equipment. Additional noise will be generated by vehicles carrying workers and construction materials. Construction of the proposed communication facility is not expected to create significant noise impacts. After construction, the tower will not generate any noise. There are no sensitive noise receptors, such as schools or hospitals, near the project site. e. - f. The project is not located in the vicinity of an airstrip or within an airport land use plan. Mitigation Measure: None required. 12. POPULATION AND HOUSING.

Betts, Steve From: Betts, Steve Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 9:26 AM To: 'Dan Figueroa' Subject: Hwy 99/Anita Road tower site (MUP 00-10) Dan, I got your fax with the letters that were sent to cellular phone providers in Butte County. One letter was addressed to Hdly Bender, but there was no company name. There is no letter to Nextel, so can I correctly assume that this is where the letter went to? Please let me know. I also got your phone call yesterday regarding the operating permit for Pacific Bell. I gave you a copy of what AirTouch submitted to us, and Pacific Bell should have the same authorization. You will need to get that from Pacific Bell. I looked over the project description very quickly this morning and I need a little more information: 1. What are the exact types and location of the Pacific Bell antennas? We discussed this at the counter last week; and you actually marked up one of the maps, but we didn't get a copy of that map. Are the Pac Bell antennas the four vertical antennas and the panel antennas on the top of the tower? If so, I need the exact number of all antennas, the height of the vertical antennas, and the sizes of the panel antennas. Is there also a microwave dish on the tower? If so„ what size and at what height will the dish be mounted? 2. What type of backup power is proposed? The site plan does not show an emergency generator and fuel source, so are batteries proposed? Please let me know the specifics. That's all the questions I have for now. I am.sure there will be more. If you have any questions please call (530) 538-7601 or e-mail.

Code: Reference: Plan Drawings (plans) Submitted With Application The project involves development of a wireless telecommunication facility for'colocation by.Pacific Bell Wireless, other potential telephone companies such as Airtouch, paging service, or other signal carrier. A gravel access driveway will be graded from Hamilton Nord Cana Hwy. along the northerly property line to a fenced, 6,000 sq.fr. enclosure located at least 185' from both the Nly' property boundary and State Route 99E. A 185' tall tower + antennas will be built within the fenced enclosure, along with concrete pads, overhead service lines, and related equipment. Please refer to Plan Drawings. RFR / EMF DATA (Checklist Item # Td. and 18.) As shown in Appendix A, the RF/EMF report concludes that fields from the proposed antennas would not exceed the ground level limits of FCC OET65.. Visual Impact Assessment (Checklist Item # 10. & 15.) The colocation facility lies in the rural northwest corner of Butte County, just west of State Route 99E. Photo mock-ups are included as Appendix B. Given the required height of 185', the metal lattice type tower is the most inconspicuous style of structure that could be constructed. As shown in the attached Appx. B, an established row of trees will grow to obscure the lattice tower along a line perpendicular to SR 99E. Site-Alternatives.Discussion (Checklist Item #11. & 13.) No other existing Wireless Facility Sites lie within the Pacific Bell Wireless Search Ring presented as Appendix C. The Hwy99/ Anita Site would offer colocation potential for miles, depending upon direction.

The plan was submitted to us on December 23, 1999 by Dan Figueroa, Community Planning Services, P.O. $ox 8b5, Dixon, CA 95620-0850 and phone number 707-678-3015. He stated that he represents American Tower Corporation. He requested and received a list of all current registered aerial pest control applicators in Butte County. Our office has reviewed the site and it appears not to be in a location that will have any potential conflict with any aerial agricultural operations. We will also do a follow-up with aerial pest control applicators and provide any additional comments as needed. RECEIVED DEC 2 8 1999 cc.

At a distance of 185' from the tower, at a position 185' in the air, in the main boom of all antennae, 1819 twenty five watt ERP channels (47,970 watts total) could be energized at the some time before the worst case General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure maximum permissible exposure (MPE) (533 NW/cm2 at 800 mHz) shown in Table 1, page 67,. of FCC OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01, le reached. The total combination of 1900 MHz PCS and 850MHz Cellular channels is anticipated to be 100 or less for all antennas. The worst ease exposure IRS' In the air, at a riiRtfance of 1 a5', for 1.00 channels, in the main beam of all antennas simultaneously le 80,b of the FCC OET65 Uncontrolled WE. The exposure anywhere on the ground would ilkoiy be tomo than 0.5001. of the same MPE due to the highly directional nature of the antennas in the vertical plane. The fields from the proposed antennas with maximum build out of 1919, 25 watt ERP, channels or 47,970 watts ERP total from all antennas combined would not exceed the ground level _ Uncontrolled Environment MPE limits of FCC OET85.
