Nor -Cal Mobility, Inc. was also formed at this time. Chico Iron Works continues to occupy a portion of the existing building. Both businesses involve iron fabrication and welding, which are considered Light Industrial uses by the Butte County Zoning Ordinance, and are not permitted uses within the applicable C-1 (Light Commercial) zone (established in 1976). Butte County Code Section 24-35.20. provides that a nonconforming use may be expanded upon obtaining approval of a Use Permit from the Planning Commission. The current application will allow Nor -Cal Mobility to expand the existing building and use in accordance with the project description described in the previous section. All applicable conditions from the original Use Permit (UP 85-38) have been brought forward within the new Use Permit, and new conditions have been added as discussed below. General Plan/Zoning and Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses. The area proposed for this development is zoned C-1 (Light Commercial) and is designated by the General Plan as Commercial. The property is located in a developed commercial area. Nord Avenue (State Route 32) provides access along the southwest side of the parcel. The Union Pacific Railroad is adjacent to the northeast. A mosque is adjacent to the northwest, and apartments are adjacent to the southeast. Although the existing nonconforming uses are considered Light Industrial by the zoning ordinance, the proposed use would only provide accessory showroom space and offices, which would be consistent with the existing uses taking place in the surrounding commercial area. The City of Chico has commented that, although the use is considered nonconforming in the County, the use is consistent with the City's prezoning designation of ML (Light Manufacturing). The property is adjacent to a mosque permitted under a Use Permit (File No. UP 82-30). The original Chico Iron Work's Use Permit limited construction activities from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday and on Saturday. Construction activities were prohibited on Fridays in order to prevent disturbance during Muslim religious activities that take place at the mosque on this ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 2 0 day of the week. This requirement is set -forth as a Use Permit condition and mitigation measure. A solid masonry wall separates the facility from the apartments located adjacent to the south property line. In addition, heavy vegetation provides an additional buffer. The proposed offices and showroom should not present any compatibility impact to the apartments provided the existing wall and vegetation remains along the south property line. This property is also subject to a Use Permit (File No. UP 95-22) and a Minor Use Permit (File No. MUP 02-02) that permits a cellular communications tower and antenna collocation. These facilities area located in the rear of the property. No conflict between these uses and the proposed use is anticipated. The property is located within Compatibility Zone D for the Ranchaero Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Compatibility Zone D allows for the use proposed under this Use Permit without any conditions or restrictions according to Airport Land Use Commission staff. Parking Requirements A total of 50 parking spaces are shown on the applicant's plot plan. Although some of these spaces are devoted to vehicle inventory and are also used by Chico Iron Works, which occupies the same building, on-site inspection of the site confirmed adequate paved parking areas are provided to account for the additional employees using the six new offices. Aesthetics Concerns Additional outdoor lights may be required to be placed on or around the building for safety and security reasons. In order to prevent new outdoor lights from creating an impact to the residents on the adjacent parcels, all new outdoor lights are required to be fully shielded. This requirement is set forth as a project condition and mitigation measure. Outdoor trash storage and collection facilities can pose visual impacts if they are not visually screened. A project condition and mitigation measure has been set -forth that requires all outdoor trash containers to be enclosed within a solid masonry wall or view -obstructing fence at least one (1) foot higher than the trash container. ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: 1. Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Said study identified significant environmental effects and includes mitigation measures that would mitigate such effects below significant levels; a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 3 ■ B. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration together with comments received during the review process. C. On the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, there is no substantial evidence that the Use Permit for Kenneth Karasinski of Nor -Cal Mobility, Inc., Planning Division File No. UP 02-13, will have a significant effect on the environment. D. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the County, which is the Lead Agency. II. Adopt a "de minimus" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3) and 14 CCR 753.5. is not required. The project site is not known to contain 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. The project will not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat; have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources; or conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan. III. Approve Use Permit 02-13 for Kenneth Karasinski of Nor -Cal Mobility, Inc., subject to the following findings, and conditions found in Exhibit "A". A. The proposed uses of the property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and the use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties, or detrimental to the health and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, or to the general health, welfare and safety of the residents of the County as supported by the following: Compliance with Butte County Air Quality Management District Condition #3 will ensure that no impacts related to air quality and fugitive dust will occur as a result of the proposed use; and, 2. Compliance with Department of Public Works Condition #9 ensures that the proposed use complies with Butte County Development standards pertaining to drainage. Compliance with Environmental Health Division Condition #10 ensures that the proposed use shall be served with adequate sewer service. 4. Compliance with Planning Division Conditions #1-8 ensures the use shall not be incompatible with the surrounding uses and C-1 zone. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 4 0 EXHIBIT A USE PERMIT BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE(Certified Mail Rec.)

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. [ ✓ ] 4.1 Aesthetics [ ] 4.2 Agriculture Resources [ ✓ ] 4.3 Air Quality [ ] 4.4 Biological Resources [ ] 4.5 Cultural Resources [ J 4.6 Geologic Processes [ ] 4.7 Hazards and Hazardous Material [ ] 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality [✓ ] 4.9 Land Use [ ] 4.10 Mineral Resources [ ✓ ] 4.11 Noise [ ] 4.12 Housing [ ] 4.13 Public Service [ ] 4.14 Recreation [ ] 4.15 Trans./Traffic [ ] 4.16 Utilities and Service Systems [ ] 4.17 Mandatory Findings of Significance B. 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 would not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 Page 2 0 Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Cal Mobility, UP 02-13 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. 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) "Reviewed Under Previous Document." 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 b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 Page 3 0 Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Cal Mobility, UP 02-13 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 4.1 AESTHETIC/VISUAL RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: a. - d.

The Seismic Safety Element indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. The closest mapped Fault -Rupture Zone is the Cleveland Hills Fault line which is located approximately 18 miles to the southeast. The project is not located in an area that would be subject to fault rupture because of the distance to the Cleveland Hills Fault. No impacts are anticipated as a result of fault rupture and no seismic related requirements are necessary with regard to fault rupture. 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. However, strong seismic ground shaking is closely related to the proximity of active fault lines. Although there is insufficient data to predict these forces, the closest mapped Fault -Rupture Zone is the Cleveland Hills fault line, which is located approximately 18 miles to the southeast. The Cleveland Hills fault line is the only fault line in Butte County that is recognized under the Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zones Act to pose a threat from fault rupture. Seismic risk is not limited to faults which have been currently identified. Some earthquakes originate from unknown sources sometimes characterized as "background seismicity" or "floating earthquakes". The Butte County Master Environmental Assessment indicates that it is reasonable to assume that background seismicity could produce earthquakes as large as Richter magnitude (modified Mercalli intensity scale) 6.5 virtually anywhere in Butte County. There is no current evidence that an earthquake larger than magnitude 6.5 would occur at this location. Earthquakes at this magnitude are generally felt by all persons, but damage is generally slight to minor, with fallen chimneys and cracked plaster the most prominent damage. Richter magnitude 6.5 is not subjectively characterized on the intensity scale, but a magnitude 7 is generally characterized by negligible damage, especially in buildings of good design and construction. Considerable damage can occur in poorly built or badly designed structures. a.3. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a generally moderate potential for liquefaction. No impact is anticipated. a.4.

The area proposed for this development is zoned C-1 (Light Commercial) and is designated by the General Plan as Commercial. The property fronts on Nord Avenue, a major County thoroughfare and State Highway. Although the ekisting non -conforming use is considered light manufacturing the proposed use would only provide accessory showroom space and offices, which would be consistent with the existing uses taking place in the surrounding commercial area. The City of Chico has commented that the although the use is considered non -conforming in the County, the use is consistent with the City of Chico prezoning designation of ML (Light Manufacturing). This property is also subject to a Use Permit (UP 95-22) and a Minor Use Permit (MUP 02-02) that allows for a cellular communications tower and antenna collocation. No conflict between this use and the proposed use is anticipated. The existing Nor Cal Mobility property is adjacent to a mosque permitted under a Use Permit (UP 82-30). The original Use Permit limited construction activities from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday and on Saturday. Construction activities will be prohibited on Fridays in order to prevent disturbance during Muslim religious activities that take place at the mosque on this day of the week.

Ambient noise at and in the vicinity of the project area is affected primarily by vehicle traffic on the adjacent Nord Avenue, which has an average daily traffic volume of 13,800 vehicles Noises that would be generated by the use consist mainly of vehicles arriving and departing the site. This type of activity is not anticipated to significantly impact the surrounding area. Construction activities on the site would temporarily generate high noise levels on and adjacent to the project site intermittently during project development activities. During construction, the highest noise levels would result from operation of heavy earthmoving equipment, which can be expected to generate noise levels of between 85 to 90 decibels (dBA) at a distance of 50 feet from the source. Noise levels would be reduced, however, by a factor of six dBA with each doubling of distance from the noise source and by intervening topography. The General Plan Noise Element addresses a maximum acceptable community noise level of 65dBA for low density and multi -family residential land uses to provide a suitable noise environment. Any such noise disturbance would be internuttent and short-term in nature, but would be significant without the implementation of construction noise attenuation measures. Mitigation Measure #4 has been set forth under Initial Study Checklist Item 4.9 —Land Use to address noise and compatibility impacts. e. — f. The project is located within Compatibility Zone "D" for the Ranchaero Airport, a private airport southeast of the property. However, Zone D does not impose any special conditions regarding noise levels from aircraft because noise levels from aircraft are not significant in this compatibility zone. 4.12 HOUSING: Impact Discussion: Response: a.

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. [ ✓ ] 4.1 Aesthetics [ ] 4.2 Agriculture Resources [ ✓ ] 4.3 Air Quality [ ] 4.4 Biological Resources [ ] 4.5 Cultural Resources [ ] 4.6 Geologic Processes [ ] 4.7 Hazards and Hazardous Material[ ] 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality [✓ ] 4.9 Land Use [ ] 4.10 Mineral Resources [ ✓ ] 4.11 Noise [ ] 4.12 Housing [ ] 4.13 Public Service [ ] 4.14 Recreation [ ] 4.15 Trans./Traffic [ ] 4.16 Utilities and Service Systems [ ] 4.17 Mandatory Findings of Significance B. 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 would not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 Page 2 0 Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Cal Mobility, UP 02-13 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. 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) "Reviewed Under Previous Document." 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 b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 Page 3 0 Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Cal Mobility, UP 02-13 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 4.1 AESTHETICIVISUAL RESOURCES: Would the proposal: Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than Reviewed Under Significant with Significant Previous Impact Mitigation Impact No Document Incorporated Impact a.

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? Impact Discussion: a. - d. The project site is not located along a County or State designated scenic highway. Additional outdoor lights may be required to be placed on or around the building for safety and security reasons. In order to prevent new outdoor lights from creating an impact to the residents on the adjacent parcels, all new outdoor lights are required to be fully shielded. Outdoor trash storage and collection facilities should be screened from view to avoid visual impacts. A mitigation has been set -forth below that requires all outdoor trash containers to be enclosed within a solid masonry wall or view -obstructing fence at least one (1) foot higher than the trash container. This requirement would be a condition of the Use Permit. This project would not affect a scenic vista nor is the site located along a State or County designated scenic highway.

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? d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of ✓ the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? 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? Impact Discussion: a.1. The Seismic Safety Element indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. The closest mapped Fault -Rupture Zone is the Cleveland Hills Fault line which is located approximately 18 miles to the southeast. The project is not located in an area that would be subject to fault rupture because of the distance to the Cleveland Hills Fault. No impacts are anticipated as a result of fault rupture and no seismic related requirements are necessary with regard to fault rupture. 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. However, strong seismic ground shaking is closely related to the proximity of active fault lines. Although there is insufficient data to predict these forces, the closest mapped Fault -Rupture Zone is the Cleveland Hills fault line, which is located approximately 18 miles to the southeast. The Cleveland Hills fault line is the only fault line in Butte County that is recognized under the Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zones Act to pose a threat from fault rupture. Seismic risk is not limited to faults which have been currently identified. Some earthquakes originate from unknown sources sometimes characterized as "background seismicity" or "floating earthquakes". The Butte County Master Environmental Assessment indicates that it is reasonable to assume that background seismicity could produce earthquakes as large as Richter magnitude (modified Mercalli intensity scale) 6.5 virtually anywhere in Butte County. There is no current evidence that an earthquake larger than magnitude 6.5 would occur at this location. Earthquakes at this magnitude are generally felt by all persons, but damage is generally slight to minor, with fallen chimneys and cracked plaster the most prominent damage. Richter magnitude 6.5 is not subjectively characterized on the intensity scale, but a magnitude 7 is generally characterized by negligible damage, especially in buildings of good design and construction. Considerable damage can occur in poorly built or badly designed structures. a.3. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a generally moderate 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 low potential for landslides in this area. No impact is anticipated because the site does not contain any slopes. b. The Erosion Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that there is no potential for soil erosion at the site. Large amounts of grading is not anticipated in conjunction with this project. No impact is anticipated. C. No impact is anticipated from instability, landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 Page 9 0 Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Aa Mobility, UP 02-13 • d. The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has a moderate expansive soil designation. The Building Division may require that the foundations for structures on the site be designed and constructed to handle the shrink/swell characteristics of expansive soils. Standard grading and foundation design would reduce any potential impacts. No impact is anticipated e. Sewage disposal for the existing building is handled by an on-site septic system. The Butte County Environmental Health Division has reviewed the proposal and has provided clearance for use of the existing septic system for the proposed addition provided the existing system is maintained in accordance with Butte County Code Section 19-4. No imacts are anticipated. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.7 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Would the proposal: Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than Reviewed Under Significant with Significant Previous Impact Mitigation Impact No Document Incorporated Impact a.

Physically divide an established community? ✓ b. Conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy, or ✓ regulations 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? c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or ✓ natural community conservationplan? Impact Discussion: a. The area proposed for this development is zoned C-1 (Light Commercial) and is designated by the General Plan as Commercial. The property fronts on Nord Avenue, a major County thoroughfare and State Highway. Although the existing non -conforming use is considered light manufacturing the proposed use would only provide accessory showroom space and offices, which would be consistent with the existing uses taking place in the surrounding commercial area. The City of Chico has commented that the although the use is considered non -conforming in the County, the use is consistent with the City of Chico prezoning designation of ML (Light Manufacturing). This property is also subject to a Use Permit (UP 95-22) and a Minor Use Permit (MUP 02-02) that allows for a cellular communications tower and antenna collocation. No conflict between this use and the proposed use is anticipated. The existing Nor Cal Mobility property is adjacent to a mosque permitted under a Use Permit (UP 82-30). The original Use Permit limited construction activities from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday and on Saturday. Construction activities will be prohibited on Fridays in order to prevent disturbance during Muslim religious activities that take place at the mosque on this day of the week. This requirement is set -forth below as a mitigation measure. b. The project would not conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project C. The proposal would not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. No impact is anticipated to occur. MitiEation Measure #4 Construction activities shall be limited to the hours of 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday thru Thursday and Saturday. No construction activities shall take place on Friday to prevent disturbance during religious activities taking place at the adjacent mosque (Use Permit 82-30). 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 Page 12 0 Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Cal Mobility, UP 02-13 Plan Requirements: The mitigation shall be placed on the Use Permit and shown on all building plans.

Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral ✓ ✓ resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally -important ✓ ✓ mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land useplan? ✓ Impact Discussion: The property is not considered a viable mineral resource, nor is it considered a locally -important mineral resource by local plans. No impact is anticipated. Mitigation: None required 4.11 NOISE: Would the proposal: Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than Reviewed Under Significant with Significant Previous Impact Mitigation Impact No Document Incorporated Impact a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in ✓ excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground ✓ borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? c. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in ✓ the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient ✓ noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without theproject? 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 expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? L For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would ✓ the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division ❑ Page 13 6 0 • Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Cal Mobility, UP 02-13 Impact Discussion: a. - d. Ambient noise at and in the vicinity of the project area is affected primarily by vehicle traffic on the adjacent Nord Avenue, which has an average daily traffic volume of 13,800 vehicles Noises that would be generated by the use consist mainly of vehicles arriving and departing the site. This type of activity is not anticipated to significantly impact the surrounding area. Construction activities on the site would temporarily generate high noise levels on and adjacent to the project site intermittently during project development activities. During construction, the highest noise levels would result from operation of heavy earthmoving equipment, which can be expected to generate noise levels of between 85 to 90 decibels (dBA) at a distance of 50 feet from the source. Noise levels would be reduced, however, by a factor of six dBA with each doubling of distance from the noise source and by intervening topography. The General Plan Noise Element addresses a maximum acceptable community noise level of 65dBA for low density and multi -family residential land uses to provide a suitable noise environment. Any such noise disturbance would be intermittent and short-term in nature, but would be significant without the implementation of construction noise attenuation measures. Mitigation Measure #4 has been set forth under Initial Study Checklist Item 4.9 —Land Use to address noise and compatibility impacts. e. — f. The project is located within Compatibility Zone "D" for the Ranchaero Airport, a private airport southeast of the property. However, Zone D does not impose any special conditions regarding noise levels from aircraft because noise levels from aircraft are not significant in this compatibility zone. 4.12 HOUSING: Would the proposal: Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than Reviewed Under Significant with Significant Previous Impact Mitigation Impact No Document Incorporated Impact a.

Result in inadequate parking capacity? ✓ g Conflict with accepted policies, plans or programs ✓ supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? Impact Discussion: a. - e. The project would obtain access from Nord Avenue (State Route 32). Nord Avenue is a major County thoroughfare with an average daily traffic (ADT) volume 10,700 and a Level of Service of "C", according to the 1996 Butte County Environmental Assessment. The Butte County Association of Government's Metropolitan Transportation Plan indicates that measured ADT in 1996 equaled 13,800 with a Level of Service of "C" and estimates an ADT of 29,200 with a Level of Service of "F" in the year 2016. The current Level of Service of "C" indicates a good flow of traffic. If new employees occupy the six new offices an average daily traffic count of 24 additional trips per day could be expected. It is not anticipated that the proposed addition will significantly effect current or future traffic volumes on Nord Avenue. 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 Page 16 0 Project Name: Karasinski/Nor-Cal Mobility, UP 02-13 The property is already served by an existing encroachment onto State Route 32, and no additional connection work will be necessary.

The Initial Study determined that mitigation measures are necessary to prevent the project from causing significant impacts to the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. Please review the enclosed initial study and recommended mitigation measures, noting particularly any environmental problems which could be minimized or avoided by the care and manner in which the project is carried out. Section 15070(b)(1) of the Guidelines requires that the project applicant, or his or her agent, provide a written consent to the proposed mitigation measures prior to release of the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study for public review. The recommended mitigation measures constitute a revision to the project. If you agree to the mitigation measures, please sign Section 8 of the Initial Study and return to the Planning Division. The signed Initial Study must be returned to this office by October 23, 2002 in order to publish for the November 21, 2002 Board Planning Commission meeting. If you do not agree to the mitigation measures, please contact this office as soon as possible to discuss possible alternatives.

Improvement will consist of on-site collection and tier_:;;•-::,,• conveyance to existing structures within Sacramento Avenue Drainage ", Assessment District. `t 3fi Storm waters will wash pollutants (hydro carbons, acid traces, ( detergents) into area drainage ways. To effectively minimize this danger, proper handling and storage on-site is required. All toric and flammable materials should be stored on an impervious surface (i.e. concrete) in a self contained area. 6a b: The adjacent apartment building and mosque could be significantly impacted by noise.- Construction noises are temporary and can be controlled. It is recommended that the structure be constructed in one building season, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Manday through Thursday and Saturday (see item 20).

CHICO Chico Iron Works was.established in 1974. It started business at 1289 Nord Ave. Chico, in an existing 5,000 sq. ft. building on the.property. Approximately 1988, the business had out grown the original facility, Ken and Ellen Karasinski at that time requested a use permit to build the present existing building, approximately 50 ft wide by 425,ft long, total combined shop and office space is approximately 19,800 sq ft. At the present we are requesting an expansion of a non -conforming use permit with a addition of office and showroom space. There does exist septic/septic sewage on site,.power and phone line underground on site, all 1.93 acres already has drainage and is tied into the Sacramento Drainage Assessment District, water source is - California Water Service. Fire hydrant is directly across the street on Highway 32. It , is approximately 50 feet from front of property line. Propose addition should require footings only. Excavation or grading should not be necessary. Apartments on two sides, west and south surround us. The railroad tracks are in the rear of the property, east side. On the north side there is a Moslem - Mosque and meeting center. The doors of.the new addition will open away from the Mosque. Construction of site will not be done on Fridays as to respect the Moslem Holy Day.. Our company will comply with public work standards construction. Construction will be done from Monday though Thursday and on Saturdays from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and will be completed in a timely.manner. The, building will be insulated to reduce the noise level, land use the same as it has been for the.last 28' years:,We will comply with Cal. Trans and Butte County Public Works with any changes needed. In 1985 Chico Iron Works Inc. divested into Nor -Cal Mobility Inc. This involved the customization and converting of vans for the transportation for the, Physically Challenged. Nor -Cal Mobility Inc. has steadily grown over the years; to once again -it has outgrown its present existing building. This is the main reason for the request for a New Use. Permit for a 2 -story addition. We propose a maximum of 3,100 sq. ft: 1St floor, showroom combined with new office space upstairs. At the present time many of Nor -Cal Mobility wheelchair clients are being shown adaptive equipment that they might purchase while being exposed to the outdoor elements. With the addition of this showroom and office space, Nor -Cal Mobility Inc. would be able to provide to its wheelchair clients, the indoor comforts, where they can view accessible vans and be fitted for there adaptive equipment needs while they are in a 'comfortable environment.
