DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AP# 42 -Various AP# 44-Variou This project is the installation of underground drainpipe% Avenue north to Shasta Avenue, Chico, ussick nueofrom Cast as the project is called, Will run north '�and south about 700 oas of Cussick Avenue. The drainage easement is 20 feet wide and abo«tat 3300 feet in length. This Assessment District (S.U.D.A.D.)ckoundaries; iteWillsProvidenaDdrain .age ' solution for existing, proposed and probable subdivisions and other projects within the S.U.D.A.D. boundaries which are notcurrently,served by S.U.D.A.D. facilities. The size of the drainage pipe will vary from 36" in diameter to 54" in diameter over the course of its route. The existing land uses in the residential uses ranging from project in ee-familyarea �tolmultirfamily and . g g1 ill densities. There are a number of proposed and probable residential developments in the area to be served by the Cussick Drain. The Butte County General Plan classifies this area for low density residential use. The Chico General Plan designates the area for agricultural use. 3 (b): The present drainage p Patterns for this Area .are random. provide This project would an adequate and acceptable drainage solution for surface water runoff originating from streets and other Surfaces of present and future development. ,individual developers Should be encouraged to design projects in a manner that will return as much storm water runoff as possible to the ground (through open landscaped areas, etc.), 4 (d): Although this area is suitable for agricultural p it is Within a designated urban area in the Butte CountyGeneraloPlan, so potential loss of agricultural land is not considered significant, 11: This project; is necessary to accommodate the drainage needs of specific developments and areas zoned for'develo'pment Which have been reviewed pursuant to the California Envirohmental already received approval., The line,does extend nortlitflrAct andhave development potential, It will not Itself with induct growth but will remove a barrier to development which will far, p i 1 i tate growth by providing a drainage solution for these areas as well. Thiss not considered to be a significant effect, as the area is indicated for urban rise on the Butte County 'General Plan Land Use Map, and the Property owners have been paying drainage taxes for b number of VOY 'these areas lying east of Cussick Ave (which is the houndary�ofs. $,U P.A.D.) would be eligible to use the new facility, IV. DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: qW I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION is recommended.. Q I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the envi,ronmenty'there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described oo an attached sheet have been added to the project:. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION IS RECCDMWEED I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required Date December 20, 1977 - (E gnature) For; ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW DEPARTMENT Reviewed by.
