UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems, or substantial alterations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? b) Communications systems? c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities? d) Sewer or septic tanks? e) Storm water drainage? f) Solid waste disposal? g) Special Districts? ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services ❑ Planning Division ❑ 15 x x x x x x x ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services ❑ Planning Division ❑ 15 Project: Butte County Office of Education Kirby White, UP 99-07 Potentially Significant Impact Response: ' • Potentially Significant Less Unless Than Mitigation Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact d. The Butte County Health Department has indicated that the existing septic system is adequate for the level of service anticipated for the use. Since the dwelling will not be lived in, the septic system will be underutilized most of the time. This will allow for the temporary increases anticipated during barbecue and picnic events. The Health Department indicated that, prior to any renovations or issuance of building permits that would alter the amount of sewage entering the existing system, sanitation clearance will be required. Since the Use Permit does not propose any 'additional improvements, the Health Department's requirement will be noted on the Use Permit. Mitigation: None required 13. AESTHETICS.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife 0 Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division ❑ 17 0 Project: Butte County Office of Education Kirby White, UP 99-07 Potentially Significant Impact species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals, to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals? c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects). d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human being, either directly or indirectly? — Res_onse: Potentially Significant Less Unless Than Mitigation Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact x X x X C. Although the facility represents a change from a residential use, and could potentially cause cumulative impacts from increased traffic, noise, septic system use and compatibility, the operational limits placed upon the Use Permit substantially ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services ❑ Planning Division ❑ 18 Project: Butte County Office of Education Kirby White, UP 99-07 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact limit the use of the site to levels equal or slightly more than what would be expected from a single family residential use. The following operational limits apply: • Hours and days of operation: 8: 00 am - S: 00 pm Monday through Friday • Maximum number of students: Fifteen • Limitation on barbecue and picnic events: Total of 4 events each year, 50 participants, to be held on weekdays, 8:00 am -•5:00 pm., event participants will primarily congregate in the patio area which is separated from the closest neighbor by the shed, carport and fence. Inclusion of Mitigation Measures #1 - 3 will also limit the level of outside noise generation. Other factors that limit cumulative impact contributed by the project include the use of existing facilities only (no new improvements), and unobtrusive nature of the variety of activities planned for students (such as home economics and animal husbandry). The property may be improved in overall condition due to the planned activities of the students. Additionally, since the use does not propose overnight or weekend occupancy, overall use of the property may be less since typical night time and weekend activities normally associated with an occupied dwelling will not occur. Due to the operational limitations, nature of the use itself, and inclusion of Mitigation Measures # 1- 3, cumalitive impact is not considered significant. ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services ❑ Planning Division 0 19 Project: Butte County Office of Education Kirby White, UP 99-07 V.

Response: • Potentially Significant Less Unless Than Mitigation Significant No Incorporated Impact Impact X a. Students will be brought to the facility by vans seating approximately eight persons. Two vans will be necessary during normal operations. Instructors are provided on a basis of one per seven students. Depending upon the level of instruction needed, additional instructors may be necessary. It is not anticipated that the number of private vehicles visiting the site will exceed four. Approximately six (4 private vehicles + 2 vans) vehicles will be present at the site during normal operations. The applicant estimates a total of 16 average daily trips for the project (personal communication with project representative). This is approximately six daily trips more than would be generated by a single family residence. According to the Public Works Department, this amount will not adversely impact levels of service on Greenbank Avenue or Foothill Boulevard (2,780 average daily trips have been measured on Foothill Boulevard by the Public Works Department) which intersects Greenbank Avenue 200 feet south of the project's entrance. The number of daily trips is not expected to be different during barbecue and picnic events as participants will be brought to the events by vans. The limited number of events (four) also minimizes traffic impact from barbecue and picnic events. Due to the limited number of parking spaces it will be necessary to utilize vans for these events. It is expected that a maximum of four vans will be necessary, since attendance will generally be less than 25. However, events may have as many as SO persons in attendance. In such instances up to six vans may be used. In those instances where additional vehicle parking can be made available, event participants may arrive by personal automobile. Additional parking will be limited to the area of impervious asphalt surface and shall not exceed the number of spaces currently available (nine). d. The facility provides nine paved parking sites (5 full size and 4 compact) which will accommodate the van and employee parking needed during normal operation. Additional parking can be made available during barbecue and picnic events, however this will necessitate parallel parking within the existing asphalt surfaced area of the property. ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services ❑ Planning Division ❑ 10 • Project: Butte County Office of Education Kirby White, UP 99-07 0 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Significant Mitigation Impact Incorporated Less Than Significant No Impact Impact e. The proximity of the property at the intersection of Greenbank Avenue and Foothill Boulevard could be dangerous to students at the facility. The entire perimeter of the property is secured with wire fencing, which will discourage entry into the right-of- ways of these roads. Additionally, access to these areas will be prohibited by the instructors. The fencing and instructor supervision will limit traffic hazards to the students using the facility.

Response: 0 Potentially Significant Less Unless Than Mitigation Significant Incorporated Impact X No Impact X X a. The use of the site is not expected to generate types of noise that would not be in character with the uses of the surrounding properties, or different from what would ordinarily occur during typical domestic use of the property. Concentrations of students can contribute to noise levels not associated with residential areas. Instruction will take place throughout the property and rarely be concentrated in any one area. Planned activities are not of a nature that will involve noisy activity. Instructors will also be supervising students during all proposed uses, which will contribute to the orderly use of the property and minimize intrusions on neighbors. Many of the uses, such as house cleaning, cooking instruction, orientation and mobility training will take place within the house and would present very little impact in noise levels. Other uses, such as gardening, landscaping, weeding, planting and painting will be disbersed throughout the property. Farming related instruction such as 4H/FFA projects, and growing will occur in barns, greenhouses and other enclosures, or likewise be dispersed throughout areas of the property. The dispersion of activities throughout the 3.6 acre property will help to dissipate any potential noise impact, particularly since the property is limited to a maximum of IS students. The increase in noise levels from instruction activities is not expected to be significant. Limited disturbance is expected from picnic and barbecue events. No more than 4 events shall be held each year (two picnics and two barbecues). Additionally, these events will be held during the week, during daylight hours, 8: 00 am to S: 00 pm.

At the time of building plan checking for future improvements, the Butte County Building Division requires that soil tests be conducted on soils that have a high potential for expansion. If it is determined that the project site contains such soils, the Building Division will ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent damage to structures from expansive soils.

BACKGROUND: 1. Name of Proponent: Butte County Office of Education, Kirby White, Facilities Manager 2. Address: 1859 Bird Street, Oroville, CA 95965 Phone: 530-538-2084 3. Name of Proposal: Greenbank Conditional Use Permit 4. Type of Project: Conditional Use Permit 5. Project Description: Use Permit for an educational facility on a 3.6 acre parcel for students with developmental disabilities -have low vision, or are blind. Specifically, students will be involved in learning typical domestic and outdoor activities such as landscaping and maintenance, animal husbandry, house cleaning, recycling, orientation and mobility training, farming/gardening, home economics and other household duties that foster independent living skills. No more than 5 - 15 students, aged 16 - 22, will utilize the facility at one time. Hours of operation will be from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. School picnics and program barbecues will also be allowed four times a year during the weekdays. Attendants will arrive by van, which will park on-site. No more than 50 persons will attend each event. All activities, barbecues and picnics will be supervised by instructors. Existing improvements will be used, no additional improvements are proposed. 6. Location: Located on the east side of the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Greenbank Avenue, at 245 Greenbank Avenue, in the Oroville area. 7. Setting: The property is currently developed with an 1,800 sq.ft. dwelling, a 484 sq.ft. garage, a 418 sq.ft. carport, two sheds and a septic system. A paved driveway leads to nine existing parking sites situated in front of the home. The homesite is extensively landscaped, however much of the property is unimproved grassland. Several wire fences divide the grassland into separate areas. Surrounding uses include four single family dwellings. Two are located near the eastern property line, one near the northern property line, and one close to the southern portion of the eastern property line. Of the two residences located near the building site, one is separated from the applicant's property by a cul-de-sac. The other dwelling's rear yard is located adjacent to the property line. A 5 -foot solid board fence runs along the east property line and separates the applicant's dwelling from the two adjacent residences. ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 0 • Project: Butte County office of Education Kirby White, UP 99-07 6.

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 Analysis," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in a earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 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. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? X b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? X c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity? X d) Affect agricultural resources or operations (e.g., impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from incompatible land uses)?

Response: No Impact X a. The proposal will not conflict with the general plan designation or zoning classification. The Agricultural Residential Zoning District, applicable to this property, allows for public uses upon securing a use permit, for uses such as the one proposed The applicable Low Density Residential General Plan designation also - allows for public uses as a secondary use. C. The size of the property (3.6 acres), and low density residential uses of surrounding properties, contributes to the compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding properties. Surrounding properties are one-half acre to one acre in size. Although the site will no longer be used as a family residence, the activities that take place will be similar to typical domestic and outdoor activities that take place at the surrounding rural homesites. School activities may take place throughout the property. However, it is expected that these activities will be very similar to a residential use of the property. The nearest residence is located adjacent to the eastern property line. This neighbor's rear yard includes a pool inclose proximity to the property line. A solid fence is adjacent to the applicant's dwelling, opposite the pool. Maintenance of this fence should minimize intrusions on the privacy of the neighbor's rear yard and pool. In addition, a carport and shed provide further buffering between the neighbor and the applicant's rear yard and patio. Barbecues and picnics will be confined to this area. The confinement of these events to the patio area will provide for the least amount of intrusion on the neighbor to the east. The Agricultural Residential Zoning District allows for agricultural uses, as described in the Use Permit, such as the keeping of animals, subject to the animal maintenance. requirements described under Section 24-255.1.0 of Butte County Code. The Low Density Residential General Plan designation also allows for agricultural uses as described in the Use Permit, such as animal husbandry, as secondary uses. The provisions in the Agricultural Residential Zoning District, and Low Density Residential General Plan designation indicate that agriculturally related uses described in this proposed Use Permit are in character with the surrounding land use designations and allowed uses. ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services ❑ Planning Division 0 4 0 • Conditions of Approval: 1.

Very little improvements are necessary and no additional development is proposed. General Plan and Zoning: The proposal will not conflict with the General Plan designation or zoning classification. The project is located in the Agricultural -Residential Zoning District which allows for public uses, such as the one proposed, upon securing a Use Permit. The project site's Low Density Residential General Plan designation also allows for public uses as a secondary use. Surrounding Uses and CompatibiliW The size of the property (3.6 acres), and low density residential uses of surrounding properties, contributes to the compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding properties. Adjacent properties are one-half acre to one acre in size. Although the site will no longer be used as a family residence, the activities that take place will be similar to typical domestic and outdoor activities that take place at the surrounding rural home sites. School activities may take place throughout the property. However, these activities will be very similar to a residential use of the property. Existing building improvements and fences provides for buffering between the project and adjacent residence. Local Agency Comments: The Butte County Fire Department requests the site's address number conform with the design specified under the Fire Safe Regulations. "This is recommended as a condition of the Use Permit. The Building Division requests the facility comply with the provisions of the State Fire Marshal. As a State property, the State Fire Marshal is responsible for the implementation of building codes. This is recommended as a condition of the Use Permit. The Department of Public Works is requesting 30 -feet of right-of-way along Greenbank Avenue and Foothill Boulevard and road and drainage improvement plans for the installation and construction of street frontage improvements on Greenbank Avenue and Foothill Boulevard to an RS -2A standard 'of the Butte County Improvement Standards, which includes but is not limited to curb, gutter and sidewalk for parcels on gross acreage of 1 acre or less. As per the attached memo from the Public Works Department, the Planning Commission has the authority to determine if these requirements are reasonably related to the use of the property for which the permit is requested. The Planning Commission may choose to impose these requirements, or find that the proposed use does not warrant these improvements. If the Planning Commission chooses to impose the requirements they must be reflected as conditions of the Use Permit.. CEQA ISSUES A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared. Staff .is recommending three mitigation measures to address possible noise and compatibility impacts. I. Adopt the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: 0 Butte County Planning Commission 0 Agenda Report February 25, 1999 ■ Page 2 ■ A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act identifying potentially significant environmental effects that the project may have. The design of the project and mitigations added to the project as shown in Exhibit "A" Conditions #6 - 8, will mitigate such effects to a level of insignificance. B. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed, analyzed and considered the proposed Negative Declaration with mitigation measures prior to making its decision on the project, and hereby finds that the Negative Declaration, with mitigation measures, adequately represents impacts associated with this project. II. Approve a DeMinimus exemption to the collection of Department of Fish and Game Environmental Filing Fees. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat. III. Approve Use Permit 99-07 subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit "A" with the following findings: A. The proposed use of the property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and that the use would not be*unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties, or detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, or to the general health, welfare, and safety of the County as supported by the following: The Butte County General Plan Land Use Element designates the site as Low Density Residential. The Low Density Residential General Plan designation indicates that detached single-family residential dwellings are the primary allowed uses. This designation also allows for public uses, such as -the one proposed, as a secondary use. 2. Access is provided by Greenbank Avenue, a County road capable of accommodating the additional traffic generated by the use. 3. Adoption of Butte County Planning Division Conditions #1 - 10, regarding number .of students/event participants, hours of operation, parking, noise mitigation and other state and local ordinances, Butte County Fire Department Condition #11, regarding signage for addressing, and Butte County Building Division Condition #12 will further protect the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and ensures that the use will not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties. 0 Butte County Planning Commission 0 Agenda Report February 25, 1999 0 Page 3, ■ W EXHIBIT A USE PERMIT BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: (Certified Mail Rec.)

Dated: • Applicant NOTE: Issuance of this Use Permit does not waive requirement of obtaining Building and Health Department permits before starting construction, nor does it waive any other requirements. County PIanning Commission Chairman CC: Land Development Division Building Division Health Department Department of Forestry Butte County Office of Education, Kirby White, Facilities Manager - proposed Negative Declaration with mitigation measures and Use Permit for an educational facility on a 3.6 acre parcel for students with developmental disabilities, have low vision, or are blind. Specifically, students will be involved in learning typical domestic and outdoor activities such as landscaping and maintenance, animal husbandry, house cleaning, recycling, orientation and mobility training, farming/gardening, home economics and other household duties that foster independent living skills. The property is located on the east side of the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Greenbank Avenue, at 245 Greenbank Avenue, in the Oroville area. (UP 99-07) (DB) (VIDEO) Mr. Wilson gave a brief summary of the project. He said Public Works is requiring curb, gutter, and sidewalk on this project. He said this is within the Oroville Urban area. A video was shown. Commissioner Nelson said it is up to the Commission to decide whether the improvements are needed or not. Commissioner Mooney said this area floods and curbs, gutters, and sidewalks are needed. He said this is next to an area that floods. He said this group should not be exempt from putting in the improvements. He said they should at least have language that if the County decides this area is improved, the applicant will agree to contribute to the drainage solution. Chairman Leland said they need to find that there is a link between the use granting and the incremental amount of flooding. He said there is very little increase of use and very little increase in runoff if this is approved. He said you need to find the nexus between the impact that this will cause by approving the permit. Commissioner Cage said it seems that there will be an increase. Mr. Wilson said the parcel was created in 1929. He discussed dedication of the road and whether the intersection needs more dedication. _ _ Commissioner Cage asked if there will be a caretaker or someone there all the time? The hearing was opened to the public. Kirby White, Office of Education, said there will not be a caretaker. He said that schools are exempt from the Use Permit process, but his office felt they should go through the process to let the neighbors,know what is being done. He said he would like to keep this property in a rural setting. He said they submitted a letter requesting a waiver of conditions pertaining to curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. He said the cost would close the program down. He said they do not have the funds to install the improvements. He said the property to the north does not have curb, gutter, or sidewalk. Mr. White said they. have an extended year program: He said people come in ana out to check on the property. Commissioner Cage said she was concerned with vandalism. Ron Leger, Program Director, said there is at least one manager when students are there. He said there is a 3-1 ratio of students to teacher. He said they have a good relationship with their neighbors. He said there is a staff person that lives in the area and there has been no problem with vandalism. He said this is a rare opportunity for their students to gain practical skills. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ MINUTES ■ FEBRUARY 25, 1999 ■ Terri Pierce, a neighbor, said the children are very courteous and polite. She said she has no problems with this request at all. Mr. White said that this is not state property as stated in the staff report. He said it is owned by the Butte County Office of Education. He said they work with the Butte County Fire Department and would like Condition 12 deleted. He said the house is being used as an educational facility and is not a school. Chairman Leland discussed adding to Condition 12 "to the extent required by law." Commissioner Nelson said the applicant is trying to make this as normal a house as possible. He said if they are required to follow BC PRC 4290, the applicant will have to go through the Fire Department, and they will impose any regulations needed. Commissioner Mooney said that Condition 11 only addresses the signage for the property. This is an E (educational use) occupancy and should be' safe for the students. ' Commissioner Nelson said that if the applicant adheres to'PRC 4290,'it will encompass'the,whole code. The hearing was closed. Chairman Leland said they need to discuss the curb, glitter; and sidewalk issue as well as the 30 ft. dedication issue. Mr. Wilson said the 30 ft. right-of-way along Greenbank and Foothill was done years ago. Commissioner Nelson said this is a rural area and he did not want to require curb, gutter, and sidewalk. He said they are dealing with a 3 acre parcel. Chairman Leland said you need a nexus between this use and the increased use, if any, and the effect on the environment. He said he did not see any increased burden on the environment, road, streets, or traffic by this use. Commissioner Lambert said if the improvements are not done at this time, they will not have another chance to get the improvements. She said if there is flooding in the area and a lack of drainage, they -need to be concerned for the safety of the children. She said she was having a tough time waiving the condition because of the type of use, on property that has been donated to a school, where the cost would be imposed on an individual. Chairman Leland said they should always look at the impacts. He said he did not see a nexus between the request and the condition. He did not see any impact. Commissioner Nelson said if the property is split, the improvements would be required. He said in this case there is no change except for use. Mr. Wilson said there will be no new structures. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ■ MINUTES ■ FEBRUARY 25, 1999 ■ Commissioner Mooney said they need to look at drainage on Foothill and Greenbank. He said the applicant should pay their fair share. He suggested a covenant to pay their fare share if the improvements are required in the future: Chairman Leland said the ,drainage can be done with an assessment district. He said there has to be an impact to require the improvements. He "did not see any impacts. " Commissioner Mooney said he would like the applicant to take part in the drainage solution. Commissioner Cage said there will be more people and different things going on, not like a residence or usual school.. Mr. Wilson said the conditions for drainage are suggested conditions by the Department of Public Works and are not required by the County Code. He said it is up to the Commission to decide whether this condition in this case applies to this project. He noted that this use can be done without a Use Permit, and that the intent was to notify the neighbors because of the residential nature of the area. It was moved by Commissioner Mooney, seconded by Commissioner Lambert, to add Condition 13: For the applicant to prepare a permanent solution to drainage. Chairman Leland suggested deleting the new Condition 13 and add to the end of Condition 12 "to the extent required.by law." Commissioner Lambert said if Condition 13 is deleted, she would withdraw her second, otherwise it stands. Commissioner Nelson said he would be willing to make Condition 13 for a covenant in the future when the improvements are required. Commissioner Mooney said because this is for a Butte County School Department, it would be exempt when someone else would not be exempt. Commissioner Nelson said he did not think they should throw the burden on Butte County Office of Education, but if there is a solution, they should be a part of the solution. New Condition 13: "The applicant to participate in a general solution for drainage when a plan is developed for the general area.", and add to Condition 12, "to the extent required by law." This was alright with Commissioner Lambert. It was moved by Commissioner Mooney, seconded by Commissioner Lambert, and unanimously carried to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve a DeMinimus exemption to the collection of Department of Fish and Game Environmental filing fees, and approve Use Permit 99-07 subject to the following findings and conditions, adding to Condition 12 "to the extent required by law." and adding Condition 13 to read: "The applicant is to participate in a general solution for drainage when a plan is developed for the general area."

Conditions of Approval B. Vicinity Map APN: 036-450-015 C. General Plan/Zoning Map D. Initial Study E. Correspondence F. Site Plan STAFF COMMENT The Butte County Office of Education requests a Use Permit for an educational facility on a 3.6 acre parcel, to allow instructional programs for students with developmental disabilities, have low vision, or are blind. Specifically, students will be involved in learning typical domestic or outdoor activities such as landscaping and maintenance, animal husbandry, house cleaning, recycling, orientation/mobility training, fanning/gardening, home economics and other household duties that foster independent living skills. No more than fifteen students, aged 14 - 22, will utilize the facility at one time. Hours of operation will be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Program picnics and barbecues are also proposed four times a year during the weekdays. Students and instructors will arrive by van, which will park on-site. No more than 50�persons will attend each event. All activities, barbecues and picnics will be supervised by program instructors. Existing improvements will be used, no additional improvements are proposed. ANALYSIS Project Background- The Butte County Office of Education received title to this property through a donation from a private landowner. It is the intent of BCOE programs to provide an environment very similar to that found in ordinary residential settings. This property provides BCOE staff with 0 Butte County Planning Commission 0 Agenda Report February 25, 1999 0 Page 1 0 40 40 an environment suited to special instruction in typical domestic activities. Very little improvements are necessary and no additional development is proposed. General Plan and Zoning: The proposal will not conflict with the General Plan designation or zoning classification. The project is located in the Agricultural -Residential Zoning District which allows for public uses, such as the one proposed, upon securing a Use Permit. The project site's Low Density Residential General Plan designation also allows for public uses as a secondary use. Surrounding Uses and CompatibiliW The size of the property (3.6 acres), and low density residential uses of surrounding properties, contributes to the compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding properties. Adjacent properties are one-half acre to one acre in size. Although the site will no longer be used as a family residence, the activities that take place will be similar to typical domestic and outdoor activities that take place at the surrounding rural home sites. School activities may take place throughout the property. However, these activities will be very similar to a residential use of the property. Existing building improvements and fences provides for buffering between the project and adjacent residence. Local Agency Comments: The Butte County Fire Department requests the site's address number conform with the design specified under the Fire Safe Regulations. This is recommended as a condition of the Use Permit. The Building Division requests the facility comply with the provisions of the State Fire Marshal. As a State property, the State Fire Marshal is responsible for the implementation of building codes. This is recommended as a condition of the Use Permit. The Department of Public Works is requesting 30 -feet of right-of-way along Greenbank Avenue and Foothill Boulevard and road and drainage improvement plans for the installation and construction of street frontage improvements on Greenbank Avenue and Foothill Boulevard to an RS -2A standard of the Butte County Improvement Standards, which includes but is not limited to curb, gutter and sidewalk for parcels on gross acreage of 1 acre or less. As per the attached memo from the Public Works Department, the Planning Commission has the authority to determine if these requirements are reasonably related to the use of the property for which the permit is requested. The Planning Commission may choose to impose these requirements, or find that the proposed use does not warrant these improvements. If the Planning Commission chooses to impose the requirements they must be reflected as conditions of the Use Permit. CEQA ISSUES A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared. Staff is recommending three mitigation measures to address possible noise and compatibility impacts. Adopt the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration with the following findings: ■ Butte County Planning Commission ■ Agenda Report February 25, 1999 0 Page 2 0 M N A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act identifying potentially significant environmental effects that the project may have. The design of the project and mitigations added to the project as shown in Exhibit "A" Conditions #6 - 8, will mitigate such effects to a level of insignificance. B. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed, analyzed and considered the proposed Negative Declaration with mitigation measures prior to making its decision on the project, and hereby finds that the Negative Declaration, with mitigation measures, adequately represents impacts associated with this project. II. Approve a DeMinimus exemption to the collection of Department of Fish and Game Environmental Filing Fees. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat. III. Approve Use Permit 99-07 subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit "A" with the following findings: A. The proposed use of the property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and that the use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties, or detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, or to the general health, welfare, and safety of the County as supported by the following: The Butte County General Plan Land Use Element designates the site as Low Density Residential. The Low Density Residential General Plan designation indicates that detached single-family residential dwellings are the primary allowed uses. This designation also allows for public uses, such as the one proposed, as a secondary use. 2. Access is provided by Greenbank Avenue, a County road capable of accommodating the additional traffic generated by the use. 3. Adoption of Butte County Planning Division Conditions #1 - 10, regarding number of students/event participants, hours of operation, parking, noise mitigation and other state and local ordinances, Butte County Fire Department Condition #11, regarding signage for addressing, and Butte County Building Division Condition #12 will further protect the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and ensures that the use will not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties. ■ Butte County Planning Commission 0 Agenda Report February 25, 1999 0 Page 3 ■ a EXHIBIT A USE PERMIT BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION as DATE: (Certified Mail Rec.)

INTER -DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PLANNING DIVISION To: Stuart Edell, Land Development Division From: Dan Breedon, Senior Planner Subject: December 17 Letter, Butte County Office of Education (UP 99-07) Date: December 29, 1998 The attached letter references your November 6, 1998 comments regarding the above referenced Use Permit application. Specifically the letter requests relief from condition A.3. which requires the installation and construction of street frontage improvements to an RS -2A improvement standard. I have noted that the condition reads that this requirement is necessary prior to building permit issuance. Since this Use Permit is enabling a use and not additional development, is this condition still necessary? The applicant indicates that no more than 5 - 15 students will utilize the facility at onetime. I have enclosed the uses described by the applicant from the application. Please provide a response to the Office of Education's request to waive condition A.3. and clarify if the condition only applies to a use that would require a building permit. Since this application is not incomplete, it would be beneficial to receive a response within 5 days of your receipt of this memo.

The comments describe two items that would become required conditions of the Use Permit. One requires deeding property for a right-of-way to Butte County and the other requires design, plans, and construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk on the Greenbank and Foothill Blvd. property lines. The Butte County Office of Education is formally requesting that the later conditioni be waived for the following reasons. First, please be reminded that the original intent of the previous property owner in her bequeathing the property to Butte County Office of Education (BCOE) was to enhance and provide an educational environment for the benefit of the students that BCOE serves. The cost to design, develop plans and the construction of almost 900 feet of curb, gutter, and sidewalk would very significantly negatively impact this program, perhaps to the point of closure. BCOE has not received any additional state funds to run the proposed program/site and does not expect any in the future. In fact, the state funds BCOE Special Education programs receive are insufficient to run the current programs; i.e. they are deficit funded. The additional financial impact to perform this work could potentially cause BCOE to liquidate the property. • There are no other additional budgeted funds to perform this work. No other properties in the general area have curb, gutters, and sidewalks. BCOE is striving to preserve the site in as rural of a condition as possible. Curb, gutter, and sidewalks do not enhance the rural environment. "WHERE CHILDRENARE OUR MOST VALUABLERESOURCE" Planning ®ivisicn RE 2 21998 Oroville, California a Butte County Department of Development Services Planning Division December 17, 1998 Page 2 rt The Butte County Office of Education believes these reasons are significant enough to warrant the waiving of the curb, gutter, and sidewalk requirement. We, therefore, are formally requesting same. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much for all of your considerations in this matter.
