The CUP authorizes a 130 -foot tall monopole wireless communication tower with 9 antennae and one microwave dish, a prefabricated equipment shelter; a 506 -gallon, and a back-up diesel generator on a 6 - foot x 13 -foot concrete pad in the AG -80 (Agriculture — 80 acre minimum) zone. .You have indicated your concern regarding conditions of approval to the CUP: General Condition No. 6 pertaining to terms of approval and Condition No. 3 (Mitigation Measure No. 3) pertaining to obstruction marking and lighting. To address your concerns, this determination provides a formal interpretation of the. Zoning Ordinance pursuant to Article 2 (§24-6 et seq.) of the Ordinance and a minor modification pursuant to §24-246, Changes to an Approved Project. General Condition No. 6: General Condition No. 6 pertains to the terms of approval of the CUP and reads as follows: 6. Terms of Approval (BCC Chapter 24, Article 26, Section 24-185) A. Permits for telecommunication facilities issued under this article shall be valid 10 years, unless this term is.changed through the permitting process. B. A permit granted under this article becomes invalid if an operator of a telecommunication facility ceases to operate the facility under the terms of this article or under the specific conditions of approval for the facility. If the facility, becomes no the owner shall cease to operate the. facility and remove it from its location within 90 days of being informed that the permit has become invalid. C. All permits for telecommunication facilities, regardless of the method by which they were originally issued, may be extended administratively by the Zoning Administrator upon verification of the permit -holder's continued compliance with the findings and conditions of approval under which the application was originally approved. The Zoning Administrator may require a public hearing for renewal of a Conditional Use Permit for a telecommunication facility. D. As part of the permit renewal process, the Zoning Administrator may require submittal of a certification by a licensed professional that the facility is being operated in accordance with all applicable FCC standards for RF emissions. A CUP is a discretionary entitlement granted for a development project that may not be revoked or substantively modified in an arbitrary manner. Any action to revoke or modify the underlying Conditional Use Permit as provided by Section 24-185(C.) must also be consistent and satisfy the requirements of Section 24-251, Permit Revocation or Modification, which reads as follows: 24-251 Permit Revocation or Modification Any discretionary permit may be revoked, or conditions of approval modified, as provided for in this section. A. Review Authority. 1. A permit may be revoked or modified by the review authority which originally . approved the permit or approval. 2. In instances where the Zoning Administrator was the approval authority, the Zoning Administrator may choose to refer any action to revoke or modify a permit to the Planning Commission for review and final decision. B. Public Notice and Hearing. Public notice and hearing for any action to revoke or modify a permit shall be provided in full compliance with Article 36 (Public Notice and Hearings). C. Findings. The review authority may revoke or modify a permit only if one or more of the following findings can be made: 1. The applicant or property owner has altered the circumstances under which the permit was granted to a degree that one or more of the findings required to grant the original permit can no longer be made. Page 2 of 5 2. Permit issuance was based on misrepresentation by the applicant, either through the omission of a material statement in the application, or in public hearing testimony. 3. One or more conditions of approval have been violated, or have not been complied with or fulfilled. 4. The use or structure for which the permit was granted no longer exists or has been discontinued for a continuous period of at least 12 months. 5. The applicant or property owner has failed or refused to allow inspections for compliance. 6. Improvements authorized by the permit are in violation of the Zoning Ordinance or any law, ordinance, regulation, or statute. 7. The use or structure is being operated or maintained in a manner which constitutes a nuisance. D. Effect of Revocation. The revocation of a permit shall have the effect of terminating the approval and denying the privileges granted by the permit. It is only by the review authority's (in this case the Planning Commission's) making one or more of the specific findings in BCC §24-251(C.) at a noticed public hearing that an approved CUP may be substantively modified or revoked. It is therefore my determination as Zoning Administrator that a Conditional Use Permit for a telecommunications facility shall be administratively reviewed and. extended pursuant to BCC 24-185 upon verification of the permit -holder's continued compliance with the findings and conditions of approval under which the application was originally approved. If the Zoning Administrator has determined the Use Permit is subject to one or more of the seven specific findings listed in BCC §24-251(C.), and the situation cannot be corrected by voluntary compliance by the applicant and/or property owner, the Zoning Administrator may provide public notice and schedule a public hearing by the review authority to consider revocation or modification of the Conditional Use Permit Condition of Approval No. 3 Condition of Approval No. 3 (Mitigation Measure #3) pertains to obstruction marking and lighting of the tower and reads as follows: 3. Mitigation Measure #3: Obstruction marking and lighting, consistent with the requirements (limited to marking and lighting design only) of U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-1 K, is required at the top of the tower, and shall have a flashing or steady burning light that is shielded from the ground to prevent visual impacts, unless the applicant can demonstrate that Page 3 of 5 such measures are not required to ensure compatibility with established air navigation practices in the immediate area. Plan Requirements: Building and site development plans shall indicate the type of lighting proposed. Timing: The requirements of this measure shall be adhered to at all times. Monitoring: Department of Development Services, as needed, shall conduct a field inspection to verify that the lighting is consistent with approved type. The basis and authority for the Planning Commission's imposition of Condition of Approval No. 3 on February 28, 2013 is found in two sections of Butte County Code. Section 24-180 requires submittal of a site plan of the proposed facility to the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner for comment and to send a "notification letter to all aerial agricultural applicators registered in the county informing them of the proposed site location and tower height." (BCC§24-180 (B.)) Section 24-182 provides obstruction marking and lighting may be required by the review authority as follows: 1. The review authority may require that tower or pole facilities be painted from a height of 10 feet above the ground to the top of the facility with alternating aviation orange and white stripes and have a flashing or steady burning light installed on the top that is shielded from the ground to prevent visual impacts, unless the applicant can demonstrate that such measures are not required to ensure compatibility with established air navigation practices in the immediate area. (BCC §24-182(a.)(1.)) The Department of Development Services has provided a notification letter to aerial agricultural applicators and spoken with some of the applicators who conduct operations in the immediate vicinity of the proposed monopole. Each of the applicators contacted informed the Department that both daytime and night visibility of the proposed monopole was a safety concern for aerial operations in the vicinity and recommended, at minimum, that an obstruction light system be installed to increase conspicuity. As noted in Chapter 2, Section 20 Structures to Be Marked and Lighted, of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-1K Obstruction Marking and Lighting, the FAA generally does not require marking and/or lighting of structures with an overall height below 200 feet above ground level and not exceeding obstruction standards contained in 14 CFR part 77. However, the FAA Advisory Circular does represent the accepted practice for the design of obstruction marking and/or lighting. It is therefore my determination as Zoning Administrator that Condition of Approval No. 3 may be deemed satisfied by the installation of a red obstruction light system consistent with the standards of Chapter 5, Section 53. Poles Towers and Similar Skeletal Structures, of FAA Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-1K. Specifically, the following system shall be provided: Page 4 of 5 1. Top Mounted Obstruction Lights — two or more steady burning (L-810) lights shall be installed in a. manner to ensure an unobstructed view of one or more lights by a pilot. 2. Intermediate Level Lights - Two or more steady burning (L-810) lights shall be installed on diagonallyor diametrically opposite positions on the monopole as close as practicable to the 70 foot above ground level elevation. You have also requested clarification that the requirements of Condition No. 3 do not extend to other FAA requirements regarding obstruction marking and/or lighting. Because the requirements of`Condition of Approval No. 3 are imposed by Butte County and are not required by the FAA, these requirements do not apply (e.g. notice and reporting requirements, light failure notification, monitoring .and control devices, etc.). Please note, however; that Butte County Code does require the following with respect to maintenance of obstruction lighting: 2. All obstruction .lighting shall be visually inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper operation. Any lighting failure or malfunction that affects a top light or flashing light regardless of its position on the tower shall be reported immediately to the Department of Development Services and remedied in a timely manner. (BCC §24-182(A.)(2.)) Appeal The determination of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed to the Planning Commission consistent with BCC §24-9(E.). hope this determination provides an acceptable 'resolution to your concerns. Please contact me at (530) 538-6821, or by e-mail at tsnellings(c-buttecounty.net if you have any questions or wish to discuss this determination.

May I please have a notice sent to me via e-mail. I obtained the time and date information from my landlord but would appreciate a copy of the notice. Thus far these are the remaining conditions l will address at the hearing. Condition 6A (Term of approval 10 years), According to the county The actual intent of this 10 year term is to give the county a process of compliance review. I have explained that the language in this condition is problematic and open . ended which gives the county the ability to.deny the Use permit renewal by discretion after 10 years. The 10 year term is unfair and discriminatory to a use and such use is an important community infrastructure. Condition 6C (Term of approval .10 years cont.) This condition allows the renewal after ten years to be opened to. another public hearing process. This is not.consistent with a compliance review and once againenables, the county to potentially revoke or deny renewal. Lighting and Marking Mitigation Marking and Lighting requested by a local oversight group. We have found that such is not required by the FAA. The Landowner also does not want the tower marked if it is not required. This condition should be removed . Condition R in the General code: Yearly requirement to provide and RF Emission compliance letter. Why is this required when any alteration to the site requires a new. permitting process? Why can't the permit state that any alteration to the site will trigger a new RF emission statement verifying the Emissions are within the licensed FCC guideline Indemnity agreement: 1 received this agreement last week. I should have comments to the Indemnity agreement by the time of the hearing 1 Butte County Department of Development Services TIM SNELLINGS, DIRECTOR I PETE CALARCO, ASSISTANT.

Revised Site Plan 2. Resolution and Conditions of Approval At the January 24, 2013 Planning Commission meeting a motion of intent was made to approve the project with the following three items to be addressed. The following corrections to the Agenda Report are proposed. 1. Move the solar facility north, away from Cox Lane. The applicant has provided a revised site plan (attached) that shows the solar facility to be moved 227.25 feet north. That distance was determined so as not to impact an existing natural drainage swale, located to the north of the proposed relocation. 2. Provide a landscape screen along the fence line facing Cox Lane. The applicant has agreed to plant a vegetation screen along the southern facing fence line of the solar facility. The applicant will work with the owner to bring irrigation over to the eastern portion of the site to establish the vegetation. The irrigation will be used only to establish the vegetation. A condition of approval has been added required the vegetation screening. 3. Address the site specific soils analysis submitted at the hearing by MRCS.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission: I. Adopts 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 no significant environmental effects with implementation of Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Article 25, Supplemental Use Regulations, and Article 24 Land Use Compatibility Standards. B. The Planning Commission has considered the 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 Pristine Sun, Planning Division File No. UPI 1-0002, would have a significant effect on the environment. D. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the County, which is the Lead Agency. E. The custodian of the record is the Department of Development Services. The location of the record is 7 County Center Drive, Oroville CA 95965. II. Finds that based on a review of the project as proposed, the Department of Fish Finds that collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 is required, prior to filing a Notice of Determination for the project, unless the project proponent provides verification from the California Department of Fish and Game that the project is exempt from the fee requirement. If a required fee is not paid for a project, the project will not be operative, vested or final and any local permits issued for the project will be invalid (Section 711.4 (c)(3)). 4 III. Makes the following Use Permit findings: A. The proposed use is allowed in the applicable zone. The project is zoned AG -40 (Agricultural 40 -acre minimum). The Agricultural Zone identifies utilities under four categories: Minor, Accessory, Intermediate and Major. This project falls under the Major Utility category. This project is a major utility which requires a conditional use permit. B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. The project site is located in a rural area with residential, agricultural and vacant parcels. The overall size of the project, 5 acres, encompasses approximately 12.5% of the 40 acre parcel. The location of the facility on the parcel is proposed to be approximately 230 feet north of Cox Lane. Based on the distance from Cox Lane, the 6 -foot high screened fencing, landscape screening along the southern fencing and the limited height of the solar equipment, 8 to 10 feet about the ground, the project is compatible with surrounding uses. C. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the County. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project concluded that people living near the proposed solar facility would not be exposed to significant levels of radio frequency (RF) emissions from the solar panels, the inverter or the additional power lines. The nearest residential dwelling to the proposed communication facility is approximately 625 feet. According to researchers at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, regardless of the specific technology, photovoltaics generate significantly fewer harmful air emissions (at least 89%) per kilowatt-hour (KWh) than conventional fossil fuel fired technologies (Vasilis, 2008). D. The proposed use is properly located within the County and adequately served by existing or planned services and infrastructure. Implementation of the project would not require domestic water or wastewater treatment, or solid waste facilities. It would not be in conflict with any statutes or regulations relating to solid waste, nor would it employ equipment that would introduce interference into any system. The project will be tying into the existing PG&E power lines which are sufficient to handle up to 0.5 megawatt (MW) (500 kilowatt, kW). The project would not increase the level of demand for fire protection service needed on the site because solar facilities do not normally require such services. The proposal would not result in an increase in demand for school facilities in the area. The project would not result in any impacts to area parks and facilities. E. The size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the subject property are adequate to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. 5 The project site is located in a rural area with residential, agricultural and vacant parcels. The overall size of the project, 5 acres, encompasses approximately 12.5% of the 40 acre parcel. Mitigation measures are included to protect wildlife and the project is designed to meet setback requirements from Wyandotte Creek. The solar facility is anticipated to have a life span of 20 to 25 years, with a potential for replacement of solar panels and other equipment. When the facility is no longer needed, the applicant has provided a decommissioning plan and will restore the site back to pre project conditions. F. 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 would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. IV. The project is consistent with the following General Plan Policies: AG -P1.1 The County supports the State and federal legislation designed to conserve soil and protect agriculture land. The site has been used for horse grazing. It has been that as long as the land is not identified as "Prime Farmland", "Farmland of Statewide Importance" or "Unique Farmland" by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) Important Farmland Map, alternative energy facilities of this type are permitted with approval of a conditional use permit. The project site is identified as "Grazing Land" by the FMMP Important Farmland Map. W -P1.7 Agriculture, logging, mining, recreational vehicle use and other open space uses shall follow best management practices to minimize erosion and protect water resources. The project includes mitigation measures and conditions of approval that will implement. requirements to address erosion and the identified seasonal creek on site. W -P3.3 The County shall protect groundwater recharge and groundwater quality when considering when considering new development projects. No water or wastewater facilities are proposed in this project. The water source for ongoing project maintenance needs (cleaning/rinsing-off the panels) will be brought to the site in a water truck setup for cleaning the panes. The applicant will only use water for cleaning the panels. Eighteen hundred gallons of water will be used twice a year to clean the panels. The water will drain from the panels onto the ground. There are no cleaning agents used to wash the panels. COS -P1.1 Greenhouse gas emission impacts from proposed development projects shall be evaluated as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. Given the net greenhouse -reducing short-term duration and limited scope of the construction/development activities, and the infrequent maintenance truck trips needed to maintain the facilities, the project is not expected to generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment. 6 There are no applicable State or local regulations or plans for greenhouse gas reduction with which the project could comply. However, given that the proposed facility is expected to be a net greenhouse gas reducer, it is reasonable to state that the project will not conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. COS -P3.2 The development of renewable fuel sources in the county shall be encouraged, provided that such fuel sources can be built or expanded and that significant adverse environmental impacts associated with such development can be successfully mitigated. COS -P3.7 Wind power generation facilities, solar power generation facilities, and other alternative energy facilities shall be encouraged in all General Plan land use designations, consistent with zoning provided that significant adverse environmental impacts associated with such development can be successfully mitigated. All new proposed energy projects shall be compatible with the Military Operations Areas (MOAs) Figure LU -5. The General Plan (GP2030) adopted by Butte County in October, 2010, which designated the project site with the Agriculture land use designation, specifically authorizes the development of solar power generation facilities in the Agriculture land use designation. The project was reviewed by the Intergovernmental Planner for the NAVFACSW Intergovernmental Branch AM -3. The project site is not identified as being located in either of the Military Airspace Overlay areas. COS -P7.3 Creeks shall be maintained in their natural state whenever possible, and creeks and floodways shall be allowed to function as natural flood protection features during storms. The proposed project development footprint may impact the function or flow of Wyandotte Creek; however, the project has an adequate setback from the creek per mitigation measures. COS -P7.4 New development projects shall mitigate their impacts in habitat areas for protected species through on- or off-site habitat restoration, clustering of development, and/or project design and through the provisions of the Butte Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) within the HCP/NCCP Planning Area, upon the future adoption of the HCP/NCCP. The project site may be habitat for special -status species. Mitigation measures have been identified to avoid any potential negative effects that construction may have on these habitats. COS -P7.5 No new development projects shall occur in wetlands or within significant riparian habitats, except within the Butte Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) Planning Area where such development is consistent with the conditions of the HCP/NCCP, upon the future adoption of the HCP/NCCP. rA The subject property contains potential wetlands that have been avoided by restricting the project footprint through mitigation measures to avoid and minimize impacts and mitigate for unavoidable impacts. COS -P7.6 New development projects shall include setbacks and buffers along riparian corridors and adjacent to habitat for protected species, except where permitted in the Butte Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) Planning Area and where such development is consistent with the conditions of the HCP/NCCP, upon the future adoption of the HCP/NCCP. Per discussion above, the project may encroach on critical habitats or riparian corridors. The project as conditioned will conform to mitigation measures that mandate appropriate setbacks from these resources. COS -P7.7 Construction barrier fencing shall be installed around sensitive resources on or adjacent to construction sites. Fencing shall be installed prior to construction activities and maintained throughout the construction period. In the event that resources are observed by a qualified biologist or botanist, there are mitigation measures in place that will mandate proper fencing. COS -P7.8 Where sensitive on-site biological resources have been identified, construction employees operating equipment or engaged in any development - associated activities involving vegetation removal or ground disturbing activities in sensitive resource areas shall be trained by a qualified biologist and/or botanist who will provide information on the on-site biological resources (sensitive natural communities, special -status plan and wildlife habitats, nests of special -status birds, etc.), avoidance of invasive plan introduction and spread, and the penalties for not complying with biological mitigation requirements and other State and federal regulations. Per required mitigation measures, construction crews will be educated on preventing the loss or destruction of on-site biological resources. COS -P7.9 A biologist shall be retained to conduct construction monitoring in and adjacent to all habitats for protected species when construction is taking place near such habitat areas. Per required mitigation measures, a biologist will be procured to monitor the site during construction. COS -P7.10 Long-term recovery plans for areas affected by wildlife shall incorporate native species and enhance wildlife habitat. The project as proposed includes a reclamation plan that will address the long term health of native species and wildlife habitat. COS -P8.1 Native plant species shall be protected and planting and regeneration of native plant species shall be encouraged, wherever possible, in undisturbed portions of development sites. The project may encroach on critical habitats or riparian corridors. The project as proposed will conform to mitigation measures that mandate appropriate setbacks from these resources. Native and non-invasive groundcover will be planted under the arrays and between array rows post -construction. The project as proposed includes a reclamation plan that will address the long term health of native species and wildlife habitat. / COS -P8.3 Native plants shall be used wherever possible on County -owned and -controlled property. Per general plan policies COS -8; COS -P8.1; COS -P8.2; COS -P8.3, native and non-invasive groundcover will be planted under the arrays and between array rows post -construction. COS -P8.4 Introduction or spread of invasive plant species during construction of development projects shall be avoided by minimizing surface disturbance; seeding and mulching disturbed areas with certified weed -free native mixes; and using native, noninvasive species in erosion control plantings. Per mitigation measures, a Noxious Weed Control Plan (as discussed in the Agricultural Resources section of the attached Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration) will be implemented and obeyed throughout the projects construction process. COS -P9.1 A biological resources assessment shall be required for any proposed development project where special -status species or critical habitat may be present. Assessments shall be carried out under the direction of Butte County. Additional focused surveys shall be conducted during the appropriate season if necessary. Upon adoption of the Butte Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), assessment requirements of the HCP/NCCP shall be implemented for development projects within the HCP/NCCP area. A biological assessment has been performed. Mandatory mitigation measures are in place that will protect special status species. COS -P9.2 If special -status plant or animal species are found to be located within a development site, proponents of the project shall engage in consultation with the appropriate federal, State and regional agencies and mitigate project impacts in accordance with State and federal law. Upon adoption of the Butte Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), mitigation requirements of the HCP/NCCP shall be implemented for development with the HCP/NCCP area. Examples of mitigation may include: a. Design the proposed project to avoid and minimize impacts. b. Restrict construction to specific seasons based on project -specific special - status species issues (e.g. minimizing impacts to special -status nesting birds by constructing outside of the nesting season). c. Confine construction disturbance to the minimum area necessary to complete the work. d. Mitigate for the loss of special -status species by purchasing credits at an approved conservation bank (if a bank exists for the species in question), funding restoration or habitat improvement projects at existing preserves in Butte County or purchasing or donating mitigation lands of substantially similar habitat. 9 • e. Maintain a minimum 100 -foot buffer on each side of all riparian corridors, creeks and streams for special -status and common wildlife. f. Establish setbacks from the outer edge of special -status species habitat areas. No special -status plant or animal species were observed within the 5 -acre development footprint. Mandatory mitigation measures are in place that avoid the destruction of habitat and establish setback for the proposed project. The project complies with these requirements COS -P17.1 Views of Butte County's resources, including water features, unique geological features and wildlife habitat areas, shall be maintained. The project proposes development on a vacant portion of a farm field, which itself is not a notably visible or scenic vista within the County. However, it is located in a valley location where there are views of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east and north from many locations. The project has the potential to affect some of these scenic views. However, due to the limited height 8 to 10 feet, the project will not impact any water, unique geological features or wildlife habitat areas. Butte County has not promulgated regulations for the protection of scenic views from private' land. Apart from the height restrictions in Article 4, Sections 24- 14 D.2 and 3 and Article 25, Section 157 C 3, there are no restrictions or protections in Butte County's codes which ensure that existing scenic views from individual residences will be maintained. Views from individual properties are therefore not a specifically protected property right in Butte County. V. Approves Use Permit UPI 1-0002 for Pristine Sun, subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A" A. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Butte County Code Chapter 24, Article 24 Land Use Compatibility Standards and Article 25 Supplemental Use Regulations; Section 24-157 Alternative Energy Structures. Conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Butte County Code Chapter 24. The project is in accord with the purposes of the AG -40 (Agricultural 40 -acre minimum) and the Butte County General Plan designation of Agriculture. 10 • 0 DULY PASSED AND ADOPTED this 28th day of February, 2013, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Mary Kennedy, Chair Planning Commission County of Butte, State of California ATTEST: Kim McMillan, Secretary Planning Commission County of Butte, State of California 11 L] EXHIBIT A USE PERMIT 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: (Certified Mail Rec.)

Mitigation Measure #3 - (Raptor survey) If construction occurs between 1 March and 15 September, a qualified biologist shall survey the project site and within 250 feet of the site for nesting birds of prey and migratory birds no more than thirty days prior to the initiation of construction. Results of the preconstruction survey shall be submitted to the Butte County Development Services Department for review and acceptance. 1. If an active nest is located within 250 ft. of the project site, a biologist will monitor the nest weekly during construction to evaluate potential nesting disturbance caused by construction activities. The biological monitor will have the authority to stop construction if construction appears to be resulting in nest abandonment or forced fledging. 2. If an active nest occurs in a tree scheduled for removal, the species of bird using the nest will be determined. Raptor nest trees will be preserved until it is outside of the breeding season for that species or until the young have fledged. If construction cannot be delayed until the end of the breeding season, guidance from DFG shall be requested. Timing: Prior to and during construction. Monitoring: Development Services Department 4. Mitigation Measure #4 - (Burrowing Owl) Prior to the issuance of development permits and no more than thirty (30) days prior to any ground disturbance, a qualified biologist shall conduct a protocol level survey to determine presence of California burrowing owl in (1) the area between the banks of Wyandotte Creek that are within 500 feet of the proposed disturbance area, and (2) whatever un-disked/graded areas that also may be within 500 feet of the proposed disturbance area. If burrowing owl is (are) found to exist within this survey area, appropriate development exclusion buffers shall be determined and established in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game in order to avoid and 14 0 • preserve said resources. If avoidance of all or any burrowing owl is not feasible, mitigation for impacts shall be determined in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game. Timing: Prior to and during construction. Monitoring: If preconstruction surveys are required, the Planning Division shall ensure that said preconstruction surveys are performed no more than thirty (30) days prior to disturbance and, if burrowing owl are present, shall ensure that adequate avoidance and/or mitigation measures are implemented as determined in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game. Mitigation Measure #5 - (Giant Garter Snake) Construction related activities have the potential to impact the Giant Garter Snake (GGS). Therefore, the following mitigation measure is required: "Prior to any surface disturbance activities (grading, excavation or construction) on non - paved areas, the developer shall implement the following measures, or measures which may be adopted through the Butte Regional Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan, to avoid any impacts to Giant Garter Snake and the habitat upon which it relies, or shall mitigate potential impacts to the satisfaction of the California Department of Fish and Game. 1. Construction activities should be conducted only between May 1 and October 1. This is the active period for giant garter snake and direct mortality is lessened, because snakes can be detected, and can move out of the way of machines and people to avoid injury or death. (see # 12 below for other option) 2. Twenty-four (24) hours prior to construction activities, the project area must be surveyed by a qualified biologist for giant garter snakes and habitat upon which it relies. The survey of the project area shall be repeated if a lapse in construction of two weeks or greater has occurred. If a snake is encountered during construction, activities shall cease until appropriate corrective measures have been completed or it is determined by a qualified biologist that the snake will not be harmed. Sightings and/or incidental harm to snakes shall be immediately reported to the Fish and Wildlife Services ((916) 414-6600) and the Department of Development Services ((530) 538-7601). 3. Based on the site survey, the qualified biologist must flag and designate snake habitat areas to be voided within or adjacent to the project area as Environmentally Sensitive Areas. This area must be avoided by all construction personnel. 4. Land clearing activities must be confined to the minimal area necessary to facilitate construction activities. Limit vegetation clearing within 200 feet of the banks of potential giant garter snake aquatic habitat to the minimal area necessary. 5. Construction activities within 200 feet from the banks of giant garter snake aquatic habitat must be avoided. Confine the movement of heavy equipment within 200 feet of the banks of potential giant garter snake aquatic habitat to existing roadways to minimize habitat disturbance. 6. Prior to ground disturbance (grading, excavation and construction), all on-site construction personnel shall be given Fish and Wildlife Service -approved instruction by a qualified biologist regarding how to recognize the presence of Giant Garter Snake and the importance of avoiding impacts to these species and their habitats. 15 7. In areas where wetlands, irrigation ditches, marsh areas or other potential giant garter snake habitats are being retained on the site: a. Install temporary fencing at the edge of the construction area and the adjacent wetland, marsh, or ditch. b. Restrict working areas, spoils and equipment storage and other project activities to areas outside of marshes, wetlands and ditches. c. Maintain water quality and limit construction runoff into wetland areas through the use of hay bales, filter fences, vegetative buffer strips, or other accepted equivalents. 8. If on-site wetland, irrigation ditches, marshes, etc. are being relocated in.the vicinity, the newly created aquatic habitat shall be created and filled with waterrip or to dewatering and destroying the existing aquatic habitat. In addition, non -predatory fish species that exist in the aquatic habitat and which are to be relocated shall be seined and transported to the new aquatic habitat concurrent with the dewatering of the existing site. 9. If wetlands, irrigation ditches, marshes, etc. will not be relocated in the vicinity, then the aquatic habitat shall be dewatered at least two weeks prior to commencing construction. 10. Any areas de -watered related to construction must remain dry for at least 15 consecutive days after April 15 and prior to any excavation of filling of the dewatered area. 11. After completion of construction activities, all temporary fill and construction debris shall be removed whenever feasible and disturbed areas shall be restored to pre - project conditions. Required restoration work may include replanting of species removed from banks or replanting emergent vegetation in the active channel. 12. If construction is proposed between October 2 and April 30, prior to any ground disturbance the project proponent shall conduct California Department of Fish and Game -recommended protocol level survey. Prior to any ground disturbance or construction, the results of such survey shall be submitted to the Department of Development Services. Prior to any ground disturbance or construction the Director of the Department will identify and require appropriate mitigation measures, consistent with the findings of the survey. 13. All requirements above shall be noted in full on the site plan for any development permits (including but not limited to septic, well and building permits) issued by Butte County. Timing: Requirements of the mitigation measure shall be adhered to throughout all grading, excavation, and construction periods. Monitoring: Departments of Development Services will ensure that the requirements of the mitigation measure shall be adhered to during construction. The on site inspectors of the Building Department will ensure that the requirements of the mitigation measure are adhered to throughout all grading, excavation, and construction periods. " 6. Measure #6 - (Western Pond Turtle) No less than 24 -hours prior to the commencement of construction activities, a preconstruction survey shall be conducted by a USFWS-approved biologist to survey for 16 0 • western pond turtle. Surveys will include western pond turtle nests as well as individuals. The project site shall be re -inspected by the monitoring biologist whenever a lapse in construction activity of two weeks or greater has occurred. If western pond turtles are found within the project area, the biologist (with the appropriate agency permits or approvals) will temporarily move individuals outside of the project area into a suitable habitat upstream of the construction area. Following the pre -construction survey, a temporary wildlife barrier such as silt fencing shall be placed around the construction site to prevent ingress of turtles. Fencing will be established in upland immediately adjacent to turtle habitat and extending up to 200 feet from construction activities. Areas outside of the silt fencing shall be avoided by all construction personnel. The fencing shall be inspected by the Contractor before the start of each work day and maintained by the Contractor until completion of the proposed project. The fencing may be removed only when the construction of the proposed project is completed. Timing: Requirements of the mitigation measure shall be adhered prior to construction activities. Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services shall ensure that the pre -construction survey is completed by a USFWS-approved biologist prior to construction activity. 7. Mitigation Measure #7 - (Wetlands) Prior to any ground disturbance, or the issuance of any building permit, the applicant shall submit written verification that any necessary permits have been secured from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). If permits are not required, provide written correspondence from USACOE. Plan Requirements: Provide documentation to the Department of Development Services that the regulatory requirements of USACOE have been met. Timing: Prior to issuance of development permits and ground disturbance. Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services shall confirm verification process has been completed or have received correspondence from ACOE that no impacts will occur with this project. 8. Mitigation Measure #8 - (Monitoring Costs) The Department of Development Services (DDS) is responsible for monitoring the landowner's compliance with all Conditional Use Permit conditions of approval as detailed above. As the cost of ongoing monitoring of Measures and Conditions of Approval is not included in the County's application fees, at the discretion of the Director of DDS (Director), the cost of DDS staff and consultant time directly related to the monitoring of compliance with Conditional Use Permit conditions of approval may be billed to and borne by the landowner at the established DDS Planning Division hourly rate. The current fee amount established in Butte County Code and implementing resolutions for Mitigation Measure and Condition of Approval Monitoring (currently $1,031.79) shall be paid within 30 days of the date of project approval. Regarding the monitoring of relevant mitigation measures and conditions of approval after construction, the landowner shall maintain this fee with DDS in an amount (not to exceed the established maximum) at a level determined by the Director to ensure adequate ongoing mitigation measure and condition of approval monitoring.

The facility footprint will be 1,400 SF. • A 15 -foot wide access easement is proposed out to West Sacramento Ave. • The access will be a graveled access driveway along the east side of the project site with a hammerhead turn -around. • The facility will be enclosed with 6 -foot high chain-link security fencing with 3 strands of barbwire at the top. • No water or wastewater facilities are proposed. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: • The 47.88 -acre project site is developed with an existing residence and barn, located in the southeast corner of the parcel. The rest of the parcel is planted in deciduous fruit trees. • The parcel has frontage on Meridian Road and West Sacramento Avenue. • The exiting residence and barn are accessed from Meridian Road. • The project parcel is located approximately two miles west of the City of Chico. • The project site has an approximate elevation of 135 feet above sea level and slopes generally to the west. • The western third of the parcel is located in an A flood zone. A small portion of along the western edge of the parcel is floodway. The proposed lease area is identified as flood zone «X • The site is not located within an earthquake fault zone or an airport land use compatibility zone. • This is an area characterized by agricultural operations (orchards) and rural residential • Parcels in the project vicinity range in size from 1.1 to 52.6 acres. Average parcel size is 13.9 acres. • There are no streams or creeks on site. ANALYSIS: Zoning Consistency • The project parcel is zoned AG -80 (Agricultural 80 -acre minimum). • Wireless Communication Facilities are regulated by Article 26 of the Butte County Code. The Purpose (Section 24-176) of the Telecommunication Facilities is to: A. Allow reasonable opportunities for wireless communication providers to provide such services to the community in a safe effective and efficient manner. ■ Butte County PLANNING CONIlVIISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UPI 3-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 2 of 22 ■ B. Encourage the location of new monopoles, towers and antennas in non-residential areas, thereby discouraging the need for such facilities in residential areas. C. Minimize the total number of antennas through the county. D. Encourage co -location of facilities at appropriate new and existing monopoles, towers and antenna sites. E. Encourage wireless communication providers to locate new monopoles, towers and antennas in areas that minimize adverse impact on agricultural and air navigation. F. Require wireless communication . providers to design and configure wireless communication facilities in a way that minimizes visual impacts. • The applicant has indicated the project area is presently underserved by their cellular coverage. Their cellular communications operates in the UHF, or ultra -high -frequency portion of the radio spectrum. In each of the segments the electromagnetic spectrum the RF signals travel in a "line -of -sight" manner. They do not travel long distances by bending to follow the curvature of the Earth, or by bouncing off of the ionosphere, such as commercial AM or shortwave radio signals do. Therefore, they are subject to being interfered with, or blocked by any number of terrestrial objects, from trees and hills to man-made structures such as buildings and concrete and steel roadway bridges and overpasses. • The height of the tower will also provide an opportunity for other carriers to collocate on the tower, reducing the need for additional towers in the project area. Mitigation measures are included to address potential impacts to agricultural operations, including potential aerial spraying. • The following section highlights Section 24-181, General Requirements for Telecommunication Facilities: A. Setbacks. 1. Generally, new telecommunication facilities shall be located on a parcel so that the distance from the base of facility to the parcel boundary is equal to or greater than the height of the facility.(Reduced setbacks are allowed in the agriculture zones and non- residential zones with conditions specified in 24-181 A.2 to. A.4.) The monopole (130 feet) meets the necessary setback requirements from the property lines. Setbacks from the property lines, meeting or exceeding the height of the tower are: North — 169feet; South — 898 feet; East — 153feet; and West - 1, 796 feet B. Height. 1. The maximum height for telecommunication facilities in all zones shall be 100 feet, except in Commercial and Industrial zones where it shall be 150 feet. Section 24- 18113.1 specifies that the review authority may approve additional height based on justifiable need. Because of the "line of sight" signal propagation limitation, the general result is that the higher the antennas are placed, the larger the `footprint" or service area of the cell. Towers are often built as much to provide additional capacity for more users and more capability to process Internet data as for improved signal strength. In this case, the Chico River site is intended to improve signal levels along West Sacramento Avenue, River Road, Highway 32, and other areas between Chico and Hamilton City, ■ Butte County PLANNING CON IISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UPI 3-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 3 of 22 ■ as well as provide some capacity relief to the existing towers in the western part of Chico by shifting the traffic originating west of Chico to the new site and thereby freeing up resources for more users in Chico. The new site is designed to provide service for a minimum of two miles in all directions, and therefore a minimum of 130 feet is necessary. The applicant provided the following list of existing surrounding Verizon cell sites that the new site will "hand 'off ' to, as well as their heights and distances form the proposed new site location: • North Chico, 1298 Nord Avenue. 140 feet, 3.1 miles from proposed Chico River site • Downtown Chico, 215 Orange Street, 96 feet, 3.9 miles from proposed Chico River site • North Esplanade, 3902 Esplanade, 96 feet, 4.6 miles from proposed Chico River site • Durham -Dayton, 9169 Aguas Frias Road, 120 feet, 6.8 miles from proposed Chico River site • Hamilton City, Highway 45 & Road 23, 198 feet, 4.6 miles from proposed Chico River site • Meridian Road, 15082 Hamilton -Nord Cana Highway, 193 feet, 8.8 miles from proposed Chico River site • Bayliss, 2805 Highway 45, 150 feet, 9.6 miles from proposed Chico River site It can be seen then that a 130 foot tall communications structure is fairly typical for the area, and from an engineering perspective is necessary in order for the signal to reach far enough to successfully transfer phone calls and data sessions to the adjacent cell towers as the user is moving about. Regarding the specific parcel Verizon has selected for this project, it is ideal due to its location which is central to the intended coverage area. If it were to be further west, it would not only reduce its ability to provide capacity relieffor the sites in Chico, but it would then be situated in a designated flood plain, which opens up a host of building and regulatory impediments. At the very least this would result in a requirement to construct the site, including the associated ground equipment, above the existing grade which would naturally increase the aesthetic impact of the project. If the site were to be placed further east, it may not provide the desired level of service along River Road and the Sacramento River, including recreational areas that are very popular with fishermen and rafters. Building the site significantly to the north or south of the selected location would result in a degradation of its ability to enhance coverage on Chico Highway 32 and/or Chico River Road, since the site was strategically placed between these two roads in order to be able to provide coverage to both. • Section 24-183 (Standards for Types of Facilities): C. Monopoles or Towers. 1. New monopoles or towers proposed in or within 1,000 feet of agriculture and residential zones require written notice, in a manner approved by the Zoning ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMSSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UPI 3-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 4 of 22 ■ 0 • Administrator, to be given to owners of parcels located within a minimum radius of 1,000 feet of the parcel on which the proposed monopole or tower will be located. Staff notified all parcels and tenants within 2, 640 feet of the project parcel. 2. Monopoles or towers in agricultural or residential zones shall not exceed 30 feet in height except when: a. No feasible alternative site exists; b. A denial would constitute a prohibition on the provision of the affected wireless communication service in violation of federal or State law. See response above under discussion in Section 24-181 B. • The parcel is under a Williamson Act Contract. Section 51238 of the California Government Code provides that the "erection, construction, alteration, or maintenance of... communication ... facilities are ... compatible uses in any agricultural preserve ", unless the Board of Supervisors makes a specific finding to the contrary. Under Rule 3.B.8 of the Butte County Williamson Act Rules and Procedures, the Board of Supervisors has found that, where they are an accessory use to a primary agricultural use on Williamson Act lands, public utility transmission and delivery lines consistent with Section 51238 are compatible with the Williamson Act, as long as they are incidental, related, appropriate, and clearly subordinate to the primary agricultural use. The cell tower site will be located in a 1,400 SF leased area, with an additional 3,800 SF of easement area. Four orchard trees are proposed to be removed to locate the tower and ground related ground equipment. The additional leased area for access and utility lines will be located so that no additional trees will be removed. The majority of the site, 46.8 acre (97.7 %) is in, and will remain, an active orchard. The communication tower and facility is clearly incidental to the agricultural use. It is determined that the proposed cell tower is consistent with the accessory uses identified under Rule 3.B and approved as compatible with the Williamson Act by the Board of Supervisors. Based on the above information, a Williamson Act Committee recommendation is not required for the proposed project. General Plan Consistency • The project parcel is designated as Agriculture by the General Plan. • The project was reviewed for consistency with the policies of the General Plan. AG -P1.1 The County supports the State and federal legislation designed to conserve soil and protect agriculture land. Approximately 46.8 acres of the 48.77 acres site is used for agricultural production (orchard). In order to place the communication facility on the parcel, four orchard trees are proposed to be removed. This is a very small amount of the existing trees. It will not impact the viability of the agricultural operation. ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMSSION AGENDA REPORT ■ G ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UP13-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 5 of 22 ■ J 0 • The project includes a mitigation that requires, if necessary, that the monopole be lit and striped per U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular AC70/7460-IK This requirement is limited to marking and lighting design only. AG -2.5 When a request is made for a Conditional Use Permit on a lot(s) with existing agriculture operations, an agricultural maintenance plan to provide for the continuation of existing agricultural activities shall be submitted, in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. The plan shall be reviewed for comments and conditions by the Agricultural Commissioner and Development Services prior to the Planning Commission hearing on the Conditional Use Permit. Agriculture, logging, mining, recreational vehicle use and other open space uses shall follow best management practices to minimize erosion and protect water resources. The project was reviewed by the Agricultural Commissioner and Development Services and was determined to be "de minimis ". Approximately 46.8 acres of the 48.77 acres site is used for agricultural production (orchard). In order to place the communication facility on the parcel, four orchard trees are proposed to be removed. This is a very small amount of the existing trees. It will not impact the viability of the agricultural operation. COS -P13.3 The County shall utilize the Zoning Ordinance to require review of all proposed development projects within the Military Operations Areas (MOA) shown in Figure LU -5. The project site is not located with the Military Operations Areas. The project was sent to the NAVFACSW Intergovernmental Branch AM -3 for review and it was determined the tower would not have any impacts to military overflight areas. Criteria for Granting a Use Permit The criteria for granting a use permit for the 130 -foot tall tower and ground equipment derive both from the generally criteria for granting all use permits (BCC section 24-222) as well as the specific criteria for Monopole Facilities (BCC section 24-183 C 1 & 2). BCC section 24-222 Findings A. The proposed use is allowed in the applicable zone. The project is zoned AG -80 (Agricultural 80 -acre minimum). The Agricultural Zone identifies new towers or poles as requiring a conditional use permit. B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. Wireless communication monopoles can present a negative aesthetic impact due to their high visibility and metal construction; however, the proposed monopole is approximately 370 feet from the nearest residence. Moreover, the lease area is located within an existing orchard. The monopole at 130 feet in height will be visible, but associated equipment will generally be shielded from view from Meridian Road and West Sacramento Avenue. Based on these distances, location proposed is ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMSSION AGENDA REPORT ■ G ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UPI 3-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 6 of 22 ■ V not expected to result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and to the area's visual aesthetics. C. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the County. People living near the proposed communications facility have the potential to be exposed to radio-frequency (RF) emissions from the antennas mounted on the monopole. The nearest residential dwelling to the proposed communication monopole is approximately 370 feet from the proposed monopole. Wireless communication systems emit non -ionizing, electromagnetic energy. The perceived health risk of this emission has been identified as a potential public health and safety issue. However, no studies to date have demonstrated a specific correlation between wireless communication facilities and health problems. The actual use of radio frequency transmission requires only a small amount of energy, making mobile phone technology one of the most efficient forms of communication available. Unlike television and radio transmitters which work at full power all the time, a mobile phone site is designed to control its output so that it provides exactly the signal strength required to handle the number of calls being made at that moment, no more and no less. Therefore, if no calls are being made at any one moment, the cell site will virtually shut itself down. The antennas are designed to transmit most of the signal away horizontally, or just below the horizontal, rather than at steep angles to the ground. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically be less than 3 microwatts per centimeter squared (pW/cm2). This exposure. is more than 1,200 times lower than the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement .(NCRP) report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 50 times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. The proposed communications facility is proposed to utilize a 506 gallon diesel powered generator for emergency backup power. The storage of diesel on the project site requires that the applicant complete a "Hazardous Materials Release Response Plan" pursuant to Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code and is regulated by the Butte County Environmental Health Division. With the submittal and implementation of the Hazardous Materials Release Response Plan " the project is not expected to create any hazardous conditions or emissions. The proposed communications facility will also have large batteries within the equipment cabinets. Such batteries are typically classified as non -hazardous material for transportation. The use of these batteries on the project site is not expected to create any hazardous materials or emissions. The Butte County Environmental Health Division requires that the applicant complete a "Hazardous ■ Butte County PLANNING COMNIISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UP13-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 7 of 22 ■ • 0 Materials Release Response Plan" pursuant to Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code. D. The proposed use is properly located within the County and adequately served by existing or planned services and infrastructure. Implementation of the project would not require domestic water or wastewater treatment, 'or solid waste facilities. It would not be in conflict with any statutes or regulations relating to solid waste, nor would it employ equipment that would introduce interference into any system. The project would not increase the level of demand for fire protection service needed on the site because solar facilities do not normally require such services. The proposal would not result in an increase in demand for school facilities in the area. The project would not result in any impacts to area parks and facilities. E. The size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the subject property are adequate to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. The project site is located in a rural area with residential and agricultural parcels. The overall size of the project, approximately 5,200 square feet on the 47.88 acres parcel, encompasses approximately 0.25% of the project parcel. Mitigation measures are included to protect agricultural uses in the surrounding area. The project, with project conditions, complies with the required findings to approve a use permit. Land Use • The project would not result in a significant increase in air emissions, fugitive dust emissions, light, noise, or vehicle traffic. Only a minor amount of construction activity would be required to install the proposed tower and ground related equipment. • The project site is not located within an Airport Compatibility Zone. Agency Review • The project application materials were circulated to, Environmental Health, Public Works/Land Development, Agricultural Commissioner, Cal Fire/Butte County Fire, Assessor's Office and NAVFACSW Intergovernmental Branch AM -3. Public Works and the Agricultural Commissioner included conditions. ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMSSION AGENDA REPORT ■ Q ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UPI 3-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 8 of 22 ■ v ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In compliance with Section 15073(a), the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), application, and reference documents for this project were placed on file for public review and comment for a twenty day period starting February 8, 2013 through February 28, 2013. Notices regarding the 20 -day review period were mailed to landowners near the project site, and a notice was placed in the Chico Enterprise Record. Pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 15073(d), the Department of Development Services determined that this project is not a project where one or more state agencies would be a "responsible" or a "trustee" agency or would exercise jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the project. Therefore, this project is not of statewide, regional, or areawide environmental significance. The initial study prepared for this project determined there may be potential environmental impacts to the following areas: • AestheticsNisual Resources • Agricultural Resources • Air Quality • Cultural Resources The initial study, which is attached to this agenda report, recommended six mitigation measures to reduce environmental impacts to a less than significant level. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 is required, prior to filing a Notice of Determination for the project, unless the project proponent provides verification from the California Department of Fish and Game that the project is exempt from the fee requirement. If a required fee is not paid for a project, the project will not be operative, vested or final and any local permits issued for the project will be invalid (Section 711.4 (c) (3)).

Wireless communication monopoles can present a negative aesthetic impact due to their high visibility and metal construction; however, the proposed monopole is approximately 370 feet from the nearest residence. Moreover, the lease area is located within an existing orchard. The monopole at 130 feet in height will be visible, but associated equipment will generally be shielded from view from Meridian Road and West Sacramento Avenue. Based on these distances, location proposed is not expected to result in a significant impact to scenic vistas and to the area's visual aesthetics. C. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the County. People living near the proposed communications facility have the potential to be exposed to radio-frequency (RF) emissions from the antennas mounted on the monopole. The nearest residential dwelling to the proposed communication monopole is approximately 370 feet from the proposed monopole. Wireless communication systems emit non -ionizing, electromagnetic energy. The perceived health risk of this emission has been identified as a potential public health and safety issue. However, no studies to date have demonstrated a specific correlation between wireless communication facilities and health problems. The actual use of radio frequency transmission requires only a small amount of energy, making mobile phone technology one of the most efficient forms of communication available. Unlike television and radio transmitters which work at full power all the time, a mobile phone site is designed to control its output so that it provides exactly the signal strength required to handle the number of calls being made at that moment, no more and no less. Therefore, if no calls are being made at any one moment, the cell site will virtually shut itself down. The antennas are designed to transmit most of the signal away horizontally, or just below the horizontal, rather than at steep angles to the ground. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMSSION AGENDA REPORT ■ 11 ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UP13-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 11 of 22 ■ be less than 3 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2). This exposure is more than 1,200 times lower than the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 50 times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. The proposed communications facility is proposed to utilize a 506 gallon diesel powered generator for emergency backup power. The storage of diesel on the project site requires that the applicant complete a "Hazardous Materials Release Response Plan " pursuant to Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code and is regulated by the Butte County Environmental Health Division. With the submittal and implementation of the Hazardous Materials Release Response Plan " the project is not expected to create any hazardous conditions or emissions. The proposed communications facility will also have large batteries within the equipment cabinets. Such batteries are typically classified as non -hazardous material for transportation. The use of these batteries on the project site is not expected to create any hazardous materials or emissions. The Butte County Environmental Health Division requires that the applicant complete a "Hazardous Materials Release Response Plan" pursuant to Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code. D. The proposed use is properly located within the County and adequately served by existing or planned services and infrastructure. Implementation of the project would not require domestic water or wastewater treatment, or solid waste facilities. It would not be in conflict with any statutes or regulations relating to solid waste, nor would it employ equipment that would introduce interference into any system. The project would not increase the level of demand for fire protection service needed on the site because solar facilities do not normally require such services. The proposal would not result in an increase in demand for school facilities in the area. The project would not result in any impacts to area parks and facilities. E. The size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the subject property are adequate to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. The project site is located in a rural area with residential and agricultural parcels. The overall size of the project, approximately 5,200 square feet on the 47.88 acres parcel, encompasses approximately 0.25% of the project parcel. Mitigation measures are included to protect agricultural uses in the surrounding area. ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMSSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UPI 3-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 12 of 22 ■ LJ • F. 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 would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. IV. The project is consistent with the following Telecommunication Facilities Standards and Requirements: A. Setbacks. 1. Generally, new telecommunication facilities shall be located on a parcel so that the distance from the base of facility to the parcel boundary is equal to or greater than the height of the facility.(Reduced setbacks are allowed in the agriculture zones and non-residential zones with conditions specified in 24-181 A.2 to A.4.) The monopole (130 feet) meets the necessary setback requirements from the property lines. Setbacks from the property lines, meeting or exceeding the height of the tower are: North — 169feet; South — 898 feet; East —153 feet; and West - 1, 796 feet B. Height. 1. The maximum height for telecommunication facilities in all zones shall be 100 feet, except in Commercial and Industrial zones where it shall be 150 feet. Section 24-181B.1 specifies that the review authority may approve additional height based on justifiable need. Because of the "line of sight" signal propagation limitation, the general result is that the higher the antennas are placed, the larger the `footprint" br service area of the cell. Towers are often built as much to provide additional capacityfor more users and more capability to process Internet data as for improved signal strength. In this case, the Chico River site is intended to improve signal levels along West Sacramento Avenue, River Road, Highway 32, and other areas between Chico and Hamilton City, as well as provide some capacity relief to the existing towers in the western part of Chico by shifting the traffic originating west of Chico to the new site and thereby freeing up resources for more users in Chico. The new site is designed to provide service for a minimum of two miles in all directions, and therefore a minimum of 130 feet is necessary. The applicant provided the following list of existing surrounding Verizon cell sites that the new site will "hand off' to, as well as their heights and distances form the proposed new site location: • North Chico, 1298 Nord Avenue. 140 feet, 3.1 miles from proposed Chico River site • Downtown Chico, 215 Orange Street, 96 feet, 3.9 miles from proposed Chico River site ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMSSION AGENDA REPORT ■ 13 ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UP13-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 13 of 22 ■ • • • North Esplanade, 3902 Esplanade, 96 feet, 4.6 miles from proposed Chico River site • Durham -Dayton, 9169 Aguas Frias Road, 120 feet, 6.8 miles from proposed Chico River site • Hamilton City, Highway 45 & Road 23, 198 feet, 4.6 miles from proposed Chico River site • Meridian Road, 15082 Hamilton -Nord Cana Highway, 193 feet, 8.8 miles from proposed Chico River site • Bayliss, 2805 Highway 45, 150 feet, 9.6 miles from proposed Chico River site It can be seen then that a 130 foot tall communications structure is fairly typical for the area, and from an engineering perspective is necessary in order for the signal to reach far enough to successfully transfer phone calls and data sessions to the adjacent cell towers as the user is moving about. Regarding the specific parcel Verizon has selected for this project, it is ideal due to its location which is central to the intended coverage area. If it were to be further west, it would not only reduce its ability to provide capacity relief for the sites in Chico, but it would then be situated in a designated flood plain, which opens up a host of building and regulatory impediments. At the very least this would result in a requirement to construct the site, including the associated ground equipment, above the existing grade which would naturally increase the aesthetic impact of the project. If the site were to be placed further east, it may not provide the desired level of service along River Road and the Sacramento River, including recreational areas that are very popular with fishermen and rafters. Building the site significantly to the north or south of the selected location would result in a degradation of its ability to enhance coverage on Chico Highway 32 and/or Chico River Road, since the site was strategically placed between these two roads in order to be able to provide coverage to both. C. Monopoles or Towers. 1. New monopoles or towers proposed in or within 1,000 feet of agriculture and residential zones require written notice, in a manner approved by the Zoning Administrator, to be given to owners of parcels located within a minimum radius of 1,000 feet of the parcel on which the proposed monopole or tower will be located. Staff notified all parcels and tenants within 2,640 feet of the project parcel. 2. Monopoles or towers in agricultural or residential zones shall not exceed 30 feet in height except when: a. No feasible alternative site exists; b. A denial would constitute a prohibition on the provision of the affected wireless communication service in violation of federal or State law. ■ Butte County PLANNING CONMIISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ A ■ February 28, 2013 ■ Verizon (c/o Alan Heine) - UP13-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 14 of 22 ■ 4 0 • See findings under IV B above. V. The project is consistent with the following General Plan Policies: AG -P1.1 The County supports the State and federal legislation designed to conserve soil and protect agriculture land. Approximately 46.8 acres of the 48.77 acres site is used for agricultural production (orchard). In order to place the communication facility on the parcel, four orchard trees are proposed to be removed. This is a very small amount of the existing trees. It will not impact the viability of the agricultural operation. The project includes a mitigation that requires, if necessary, that the monopole be lit and striped per U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular AC7017460-IK. This requirement is limited to marking and lighting design only. AG -2.5 When a request is made for a Conditional Use Permit on a lot(s) with existing agriculture operations, an agricultural maintenance plan to provide for the continuation of existing agricultural activities shall be submitted, in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. The plan shall be reviewed for comments and conditions by the Agricultural Commissioner and Development Services prior to the Planning Commission hearing on the Conditional Use Permit. Agriculture, logging, mining, recreational vehicle use and other open space uses shall follow best management practices to minimize erosion and protect water resources. The project was reviewed by the Agricultural Commissioner and Development Services and it determined the proposed use was "de minimis ". Approximately 46.8 acres of the 48.77 acres site is used for agricultural production (orchard). In order to place the communication facility on the parcel, four orchard trees are proposed to be removed. This is a very small amount of the existing trees. It will not impact the viability of the agricultural operation. The project includes mitigation measures and conditions of approval that will implement requirements to address erosion and the identified seasonal creek on site. COS -P13.3 The County shall utilize the Zoning Ordinance to require review of all proposed development projects within the Military Operations Areas (MOA) shown in Figure LU -5. The project site is not located with the Military Operations Areas. The project was sent to the NAVFACSW Intergovernmental Branch AM -3 for review and the responded there are no impacts to military.

The parcel is located on the southwest corner of West Sacramento Avenue and Meridian Road, west of Chico. Dear Aerial Spray Operator: On February 28, 2013, the Department of Development Services will be presenting a Use Permit project to build a 130 -foot communication (on the above described parcel) before the Butte County Planning Commission. A public hearing notice is enclosed. Since the parcel is in an agriculturally zoned area, with exiting agricultural operations, staff is requesting your review to determine if the proposed tower is an area that you provide aerial spray services; and if so, would it potentially impact your operation. The project includes requirements identified by the NAAA Tower Safety Guidelines, including: Petitions for constructing towers should be provided to the local and state or regional agricultural aviation association no later than 30 days before tower construction permits are considered for approval. If a proposed tower is to be constructed on prime agricultural land or in the vicinity of such land in such a way that may inhibit an aerial applicator's access, person(s) that own and/or farm such land should be made aware by the entity responsible for that tower that the proposed tower may result in the land no longer being accessible to aerial applicators and in the event of a pest outbreak or plant disease, a crop on such land may be put in jeopardy of not being treated. Landowners and or farmers within at least a one-half mile radius of a proposed tower should be notified by the sponsoring entity of the tower. - In the event that a proposed tower is constructed on prime agricultural land or in the vicinity of such land, towers should be freestanding without guy wires. Furthermore, towers should be lit and well -marked so they are clearly visible to aerial applicators.
