General Plan Designation: Foothill Area Residential J. Environmental Setting: The project parcel (the "site") is located an. unincorporated area north of Lake Oroville in a rural residential area. The site is within close proximity to the Yankee Hill community, which is situated approximately two miles north. The site is surrounded.by rural residential parcels, ranging in size from approximately ten to forty acres. Vehicular access to the site is provided from Highway 70 over Rich Gulch Road and Mortar Rock Road, both are unpaved roads. The site is currently developed with a mobile home, shop, septic system, well and fenced area that serves as a dog training area. The site elevation is approximately 1,125 to 1,225 feet above sea level. The site slopes moderately downhill from the southwest portion of the property to northeast, with a total elevation loss of about one hundred feet. Chaparral type vegetation exists on the site, consisting of native trees and bushes, including oaks, pines, Manzanita and Ceanothus. K.

M. Project Description: The applicant is requesting a Use Permit to operate a non-profit organization that rescues, trains and places service dogs with disabled individuals. The proposed facility includes a kennel for twelve (12) dogs; training areas and temporary housing that will be established in three phases. The following matrix identifies each phase of the proposal and the associated characteristics: Phase Associated Construction Dog/Disabled Number of Clients Time Frame for Client Trainine Lodged Onsite Completing I Training Area and Kennel Individual 0 3 Years II Second Dwelling Small Group 1-4 5 Years III Lodge Facility Large Group 1-10 10 Years The proposed facility will provide three primary services, 1) dog rescuing/training, 2) dog/disabled client training sessions and 3) dog obedience training. The dogs are trained specifically for individuals with disabilities, such as disabilities with hearing and seeing. Dog rescuing/training will be conducted year round. Dog/disabled client training sessions will only be conducted from the first of November through the thirtieth of June; however, the training sessions could be conducted year round, if secondary emergency access is obtained. Dog -obedience classes will be offered year round, for up to six disabled or non -disabled persons. Phase one includes remodeling the existing 1,200 square foot barn into training rooms and the twelve dog kennel. A fenced play and exercise area will be constructed immediately north of the remodeled barn. Dog - obedience classes, available to the general public, will be conducted onsite. The classes are expected to be offered throughout each phase of the project. The classes are approximately six weeks in length, one day a week for the duration of one hour. The classes are limited to six individuals with one dog apiece, and their dogs will not remain onsite. Phase two includes the construction of a second dwelling, either a conventional house or modular home, and will allow clients to be lodged onsite. Following the implementation of phase two, one to four people will be able to reside on the site during the dog/disabled client training sessions. Second dwellings are allowed within the zone district, and do not require discretionary approval; however, the addition of the dwelling for the purpose of lodging clients or employees subject to the issuance of a use permit. Phase three includes construction of the client lodging facilities that are capable of housing a maximum of ten people. The lodging facilities include a lodge, patio, shower facilities and wash room. There may be up to four large group training sessions per year that involve lodging clients for a maximum of fifteen days over a three week period. The number of individuals on the site after implementation of phase three could be a maximum of twenty, including employees, volunteers, trainers and clients. A total of sixteen dogs may be located on the parcel at any given time, including twelve (12) dogs being trained at the facility and four dogs owned personally by the applicant. An additional six dogs, associated with the dog - obedience classes, may be temporarily located on the property for a maximum of one hour per week. The proposed use would require building permits to be obtained for construction of the structures, septic systems and the kennel.

Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by this project; however, with the incorporation of mitigation measures, potentially significant project related impacts are reduce to a "less than significant' level (CEQA Guidelines 15382). [X] 4.1 Aesthetics [ ] 4.2 Agriculture Resources [X] 4.3 Air Quality [X] 4.4 Biological Resources [X] 4.5 Cultural Resources [X] 4.6 Geologic Processes [X] 4.7 Hazards/Hazardous Material [X] 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality [ ] 4.9 Land Use [ ] 4.10 Mineral Resources [X] 4.11 Noise [ ] 4.12 Housing [X] 4.13 Public Services [ ] 4.14 Recreation [ ] 4.15 Transportation/Traffic [ ] 4.16 Utilities/Service Systems [ ] 4.17 Mandatory Findings of Significance B. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact' answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact' answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact' answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact' entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact' to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) "Reviewed Under Previous Document." Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 4 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is. substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 4.1 AESTHETIC/VISUAL RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: The parcel is situated in a rural residential area northeast of the City of Oroville and north of Lake Oroville. Highway 70 is located approximately 450 -feet southwest of the site. The highway is not designated as a state scenic highway (http://www.dot.ca. og v/hq/LandArch/scenic/schnl.html). Additionally, the site is not visible from the highway. The proposed buildings will not be visible from Rich Gulch Road or Mortar Rock Road. Project construction will take place in three phases, over approximately ten years. The project site is not highly visible, and is shielded by the existing chaparral type vegetation on the north, south and east sides. Construction activities will be visible and are expected to create a short term visual impact; however, they will cease following the implementation of each phase. Additional light sources are expected as a result of the build -out of the project, although it is not expect to substantially increase ambient light and glare. The introduction of light from new development may be objectionable to some neighbors in the area. Due to the rural nature of the surrounding area and the relative intensity of the proposal, it is appropriate to include Mitigation Measure 1 in order to ensure that lighting from the project will be directed onto the project site and will be reduced to a level that is less the significant ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 5 of 31 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

Due to the rural nature of the surrounding area and the relative intensity of the proposal, it is appropriate to include Mitigation Measure 1 in order to ensure that lighting from the project will be directed onto the project site and will be reduced to a level that is less the significant ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 5 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 Mitigation Measure 1: All lighting, exterior and interior, shall be designed and located so as to confine direct lighting to the premises. A light source shall not shine upon or illuminate directly on any surface other than the area required to be lighted. No lighting shall be of the type or in a location such that it constitutes a hazard to vehicular traffic, either on private property or the abutting highway or street. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit and on all building plans. Lighting sources shall be identified on the building. plans. Timing: The provisions of this mitigation measure shall be complied with at all times. Monitoring: Building inspectors shall check and ensure compliance on-site. The Development Services Department shall investigate and respond to any complaints of excess glare or light originating from the project site. 4.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: The project site is designated Foothill Area Residential (FAR) by the Butte County General Plan, and the designation's primary use is single family dwellings at rural densities. Agricultural uses within this designation are considered secondary. The site is zoned FR -10 (Foothill Recreational, ten acre minimum), and the zone allows for agriculture to occur as an accessory use. The project site and the surrounding areas are not currently being used for agricultural production. In June 2007 the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) of the California Resources Agency issued the Important Farmlands Map for Butte County identifying Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Grazing land. This map also identifies approximately 42% of the land in the County as either: Agricultural Land Not Yet Classified, Urban and Built-up Land, Other Land, and Water. This map is based on a soil survey completed in 2006 and 2004 farmlands mapping data. The above referenced map indicates the subject property as "Other Land". This designation is described as: Land which does not meet the criteria of any other category. Typical uses include low density rural development, brush, timber, wetland, and riparian areas not suitable for livestock grazing, confined livestock, poultry, or aquaculture facilities, strip mines, borrow pits, and water bodies smaller than 40 acres. Vacant and nonagricultural land surrounded on all sides by urban development and greater than 40 acres is mapped as "Other Land". ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 6 of 31 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

No conversion of farmland will occur on the site or surrounding areas as a result of the project, nor will the proposed use conflict with an existing agricultural operation or Williamson Act Contract. The project is subject to the provisions of Section 24-286 (Agricultural buffer setback) of the Butte County Code, because the site is adjacent to lands designated as Grazing and Open Land and the project includes the establishment of residential dwellings. The parcels east of the site are designated for Grazing and Open Land (GOL). An agricultural buffer consistent with Section 24-286 (Agricultural buffer setback) of the Butte County Code will be required at the time of building permit application for a residential use. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.3 AIR QUALITY: Impact Discussion: Both the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency have established air pollution standards in an effort to protect human health and welfare. Geographic areas are designated "attainment' if these standards are met and "non attainment' if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PMio). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. The project would not create significant oxides of nitrogen or reactive organic gases emissions, which are usually associated with emissions from vehicles and construction equipment. Because the proposed facility would not cause a significant increase in vehicle trips to the project site and large amounts of construction activity would not be necessary, no significant amounts of emissions from vehicles or construction are expected. Future development activities on the site, such as grading, excavation for foundations and utilities, and other soil work may create fugitive dust emission during construction activities. The Butte County Air Quality Management District recommends incorporating measures to control fugitive dust emission for all road and other construction activities during project development, using such methods as site and driveway watering and/or use of other acceptable soil palliatives ("Fugitive Dust Mitigation Measure," BCAQMD). To ensure that fugitive dust emissions ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 7 of 31 ■ Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than No Reviewed Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

To ensure that fugitive dust emissions ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 7 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 resulting from future construction activities on the site do not create any significant impact, Mitigation Measure 2 is recommended that requires all development activities on the site prevent fugitive dust emissions. An increase in odors on-site would be expected as a result of the keeping of up to 16 dogs on the project site (not including the six. dogs associated with the dog obedience class). The nearest off-site dwelling unit is located approximately 400 feet to the north of the proposed kennel location. The next closest dwelling is located approximately 1,200 feet west of the proposed kennel location. Solid wastes from the dogs may create objectionable odors if not properly disposed of in a timely manner. Additionally, odor could come from the soiled runoff associated with cleaning of the kennel floor. Due to the long distances between the kennel and the nearest off-site dwellings, no significant odor impacts are expected to occur to the residents of the nearby dwellings. Mitigation Measure 7, found in Section 4.8 below, requires the applicant to pick up the dog wastes on a daily basis and to dispose of them in an on-site septic system. With this requirement, no significant odor -related impacts are expected. Mitigation Measure 2: Dust generated by the development activities shall be kept to a minimum with a goal of retaining dust on the site. Follow the dust control measures listed below: a. Water shall be applied by means of truck(s), hoses, and/or sprinklers as needed prior to any land clearing or earth movement to minimize dust emissions. At a minimum, this would include wetting down areas in the later morning and after work is completed for the day, and whenever wind exceeds 15 miles per hour. b. Haul vehicles transporting soil into or out of the property shall be covered. c. Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 24 hours. The telephone number of the Butte County Air Quality Management District shall be visible to ensure compliance with BCAQMD Rule 200 & 205 (Nuisance and Fugitive Dust Emissions). d. All visibly dry disturbed soil surface areas of operation shall be watered to minimize dust emissions. e. Existing roads and street adjacent to the project shall be cleaned at lease once per day unless conditions warrant a greater frequency. f. Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation. g. Other measures as determined appropriate by the AQMD or the Department of Public Works to control dust shall be implemented. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit and on all building plans. Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be adhered to throughout all grading and construction periods. Monitoring: The Department of Development Services shall ensure that the note is placed on all building plans. Building inspectors shall spot check and shall ensure compliance on-site. Butte County Air Pollution Control District inspectors shall respond to nuisance complaints. Mitigation Measure: see Mitigation Measure 7 in Section 4.8. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study - Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 8 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: The site is primarily vegetated with oak trees and grasses.

Impact Discussion: The site is primarily vegetated with oak trees and grasses. Common vegetation in this area consists of blue oaks, live oaks, tan oaks, Manzanita, Ceanothus, scattered gray pines, grasses, and wildflowers. The site is well suited to ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 9 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 support a diverse wildlife population, including deer, bobcat, raccoon, skunk, quail, turkey, squirrels, reptiles, and numerous species of birds. The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB Rarefind Commercial Version 3.1.0, October 3, 2006) was reviewed to determine if a special status species or habitats occur on the project site or in the project area. None of the special status species or habitat were determined to be located on the project site or in the project vicinity. The project site is not located in the Central Valley, where Swainson's hawks (Buteo swainsoni) are often found. The Swainson's hawk is a State -listed Threatened species (California Department of Fish and Game, State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Plants of California, April 2003). According to the CNDDB, the nearest Swainson's hawk nest is located approximately 17.6 miles to the southwest of the project site. The Department of Fish and Game has identified that a Swainson's hawk's foraging habitat is generally within five miles of the nest. Preferred foraging habitats for Swainson's hawks include: alfalfa, fallow fields, low -growing row or field crops, dry -land and irrigated pasture, rice land (during the non -flooded period), and cereal grain crops (including corn after harvest). The project site is not within five miles of the nearest identified Swainson's hawks nest, nor does the site contain any preferred foraging habitats. No impacts are expected to occur to the Swainson's hawks. Development of the project site would result in the loss of marginal amounts of wildlife habitat. The loss of trees and brush will remove some animal habitat. Additionally, wild animals on the site may be disturbed by human activity and move on to undeveloped parcels in the area if they are unable to adapt to the human presence. The negligible loss of wildlife habitat on the site is not considered significant, and none of the animals that currently utilize the site are listed as rare, threatened, or endangered. The project site is located in an oak woodland. Oak woodlands are considered a sensitive habitat in California where development and population growth have increased the impacts of human activities on natural resources. Oak woodlands contribute to air quality, erosion control, and the aesthetic quality of the landscape. It also provides habitat for over 300 wildlife species and serves as a corridor between wildlife populations. Although there has been a significant reduction in oak habitat in California, no species of oaks are listed as rare, threatened, or endangered and are not protected by local ordinance. The California Public Resources Code §21083.4 requires that Counties identify whether a project has the potential to result in a conversion of oak woodlands that will have a significant effect on the environment. If it is determined that a project does have the potential to result in the conversion oak woodlands, then the County shall require oak woodland mitigation. Also, oaks are protected by the Forest Practice Act on timberlands. Efforts must be made to ensure that projects protect native oak trees, since development is decreasing their numbers to the point that they may become endangered in the future. For this reason a Mitigation Measure 3 is set forth to ensure that oaks present on the property are protected from development activity to the extent possible, and that tree loss is mitigated to appropriate levels. This project has the potential to have a significant impact to wildlife habitat, specifically impacts to blue oak habitat. The collection of Department of Fish and Game fees, pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and 14 CCR 753.5, is required. Mitigation Measure 3: Prior to any development activity or the issuance of any permit or approval removing or encroaching upon oak trees on the project site (this generally includes the canopy drip -line of trees within the area of ground disturbance and trees subject to changes in hydrologic regime) an Oak Tree Mitigation Plan prepared by a certified arborist, registered professional forester, botanist or landscape architect shall be submitted for review and approval by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee that includes: 1) A survey showing the location of oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at breast height, as defined by PRC §21083.4(a); 2) The removal of all oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at breast height shall be mitigated. It shall be mitigated by one or more of the following: replanting and maintaining oak trees, establishing conservation easements, contributing funds for off-site oak woodlands conservation, and/or other mitigation measures developed by Butte County. Replanting oak trees cannot account ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 10 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 for more than one-half of the mitigation. Replanted oak trees shall be maintained for a period of seven years after they are planted. If any of the replanted oak trees die or become diseased, they shall be replaced and maintained for seven years after the new oak trees are planted; 3) A replanting schedule and diagram for trees removed or encroached upon by permit activities consistent with PRC §21083.4(b)(2), applicable mitigation measures, and Butte County Ordinance, if any, shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. Replanted trees, shall be planted in. areas deemed appropriate by the Plan, considering future lot development, interference with foundations, fencing, roadways, driveways, and utilities. Trees planted shall be protected from livestock and other animals; 4) Oak Tree protection measures for trees to be retained within the project site shall be included in construction specifications. Each oak tree to be preserved shall be surrounded by a tree zone identified by the drip line of the tree. An orange plastic fence or other suitable type of fence shall be used to identify the tree zone during construction activities. No vegetation removal, soil disturbance, or other development activities shall occur within the tree zone in order to protect root systems and minimize compaction of the soil, unless authorized by Oak Tree Mitigation Plan; and 5) Conservation easements or funds for off-site oak woodlands conservation shall be proposed to and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit, all building plans and any subsequent development. No vegetation removal, grading, road construction, or other earthwork shall be permitted until the tree plan is submitted and approved. Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be satisfied prior to any development activity or the issuance of any grading, building, septic, or well permit, or the approval of any improvement plans on the parcels. Monitoring: At the time of septic, well, or building permit application, the Development Services Department will reference this requirement on any grading, building, septic, or well permit site plans and verify that an Oak Tree Mitigation Plan has been submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. Butte County building inspectors shall ensure compliance on-site. 4.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: The only structures on the site are a modular home and an agricultural exempt building. The existing modular home and agricultural exempt building are not listed or eligible to be listed as Federal or State historical resources. According to Butte County constraints mapping, the project site is located in an area considered to have a high archeological sensitivity. Cultural resources include prehistoric and historic period archaeological sites; historical features, such as rock walls, water ditches and flumes, and cemeteries; and architectural features.

According to Butte County constraints mapping, the project site is located in an area considered to have a high archeological sensitivity. Cultural resources include prehistoric and historic period archaeological sites; historical features, such as rock walls, water ditches and flumes, and cemeteries; and architectural features. Cultural resources ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 11 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 consist of any human -made site, object (i.e., artifact), or feature that defines and illuminates our past. Prehistoric resources sites are normally found in foothill areas with high bluffs, rock outcroppings, areas overlooking deer migratory corridors, or in close proximity to bodies of water. No cultural resources or sites of any type are known to be located on the site. The site does not contain any structures that are listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources. The proposed project is comprised primarily of new construction, including the installation of two new septic systems, renovating and expanding the existing shop building, a second dwelling and lodge facility. While there does not appear to be any cultural resources located above ground on the site, construction activities offer the potential to disturb cultural resources lying below the surface, in the respective areas. Mitigation Measure 4 is recommended to prevent any significant impacts to archeological resources. It requires all construction activity to be halted in the event that any cultural resources are uncovered. Mitigation Measure 4: Should grading activities reveal the presence of cultural resources (i.e., artifact concentrations, including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans, glass, etc.; structural remains; human skeletal remains), work within 50 feet of the find shall cease immediately until a qualified professional archaeologist can be consulted to evaluate the resource and implement appropriate mitigation procedures. Recommencement of development activities shall not occur until clearance is provided by the Butte County Department of Development Services. Should human skeletal remains be encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner. Should the County Coroner determine that such remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State law, to arrange for Native American participation in determining the disposition of such remains. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit and on all building plans. Timing: This measure shall be implemented during all site development activities. Monitoring: Should cultural resources be discovered, the landowner shall notify the Planning Division and a professional archaeologist. The Planning Division shall coordinate with the applicant and appropriate authorities to avoid damage to cultural resources and determine appropriate action. 4.6 GEOLOGIC PROCESSES: Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact Reviewed Under Previous Document a.

The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone or an aftershock zone. The only known active fault in Butte County is the Cleveland Hill fault, located approximately 15 miles south of the project site, where activity on August 1, 1975 resulted in the Oroville earthquake. This earthquake had a Richter magnitude of 5.7 and resulted in approximately 2.2 miles of ground rupture along the western flank of Cleveland Hill. In the northwest corner of Butte County near Chico there are a series of short, north-northwest trending faults similar to the Cleveland Hill fault. These faults appear to be an extension of the Bear Mountain Fault or Foothills Shear Zone. Minor seismic activity has occurred in the area of these short faults; however, other geologic evidence indicates these faults are not active (Butte County General Plan 1977). No impacts are anticipated since no rupture of a known active earthquake fault exists in the project area. Like most of central California, the site can be expected to be subjected to seismic ground shaking at some future time. Accordingly, all buildings and other improvements will be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code requirements. Because the project appears to be located such that the probability of significant groundshaking is low, because the project does not propose the addition of significant structures that would be at risk to seismic activity, and because any structures that are built during the course of the project will be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code standards for the appropriate Seismic Hazard Zone, potential geologic impacts would be less than significant. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a generally low potential for liquefaction. The impact would be less than significant. The Subsidence and Landslide Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that there is high potential for landslides in this area. The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has a low expansive soil potential. There is high soil erosion potential for the project site, according to Butte County General Plan GIS data (see attached exhibit). The project includes construction in each phase, including the installation of septic tanks and construction of a second dwelling and lodge facilities. The site slopes moderately downhill from the southwest portion of the property to northeast, with a total elevation loss of about a hundred feet. The project area is generally flat, and construction activities are not expected to create significant opportunity for erosion with recommended Mitigation Measure 5. The Butte County Environmental Health Division indicated that the soils onsite are adequate for sewage disposal, and that a septic system will need to be installed under permit by their Division.

No impact is anticipated. The site is not listed on the California Department of Toxic Substances Control Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List (Cortese List) and is not near any listed site or site known to contain hazardous materials. The site is not located within the 65 or 70 CNEL noise contour of any airport, nor is it located in any aircraft overflight area, according to the Butte County General Plan. The number of individuals on the site after implementation of phase two and three could amount to a maximum of approximately twenty. This figure includes employees, volunteers, trainers and clients. Due to the terrain, it is expected that there would be difficulties evacuating all peoples during a wild land fire. The Butte County California Department of Forestry (CDF) reviewed the project and identified concerns with large group training occurring during the fire season. Mitigation Measure 6 is recommended in order to avoid exposing people or structures to significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wild land fires. CDF conditioned the project to meet the requirements of Public Resources Code 4290 and 4291. Mitigation Measure 6: Dog/disabled client training sessions and lodging, excluding dog -obedience classes, shall be limited to the non -fire season between November Ist and.June 30th. If emergency access sufficient to meet the requirements of the Cal Fire/Butte County Fire is obtained, then the facility operator may operate during the fire season. The Department of Development Services can determine that the change is considered a minor modification to the Use Permit using the following process: 1. The Department of Development Services (DDS) is provided with a letter from CDF stating that the emergency access is sufficient to meet their requirements, and that the limited operational time frame is no longer a health and safety issue, and; 2. Upon reviewing the letter from CDF and verifying the changed situation, DDS shall determine that the change is considered a minor modification to the Use Permit. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit and on all building plans. Timing: The mitigation measure shall be adhered to during the entire operational life of the project. Monitoring: The Department of Development Services and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection shall ensure compliance through routine inspection. 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 15 of 31 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

The proposed facility would not cause a reduction a groundwater table. The project site does not contain drainages (streams, creeks, swales, ditches) that could be impacted as a result of the proposed project. The project area is not expected to alter any drainage patterns. Soil erosion may occur as a result of implementing the project; however this impact is addressed in Mitigation Measure 5 (section 4.6 Geologic Processes). Ground disturbance is expected to occur during the initial construction of access to the site, and the second and third phases. Both phases will require the installation of septic tank and leach field. The County Environmental Health Department is requiring the installation of a new septic system to handle the solid wastes from the dogs. Solid wastes from the dogs may cause. significant surface and ground water quality impacts if not disposed of in a proper and timely manner. The floor of the dog kennel would need to be cleaned on a regular basis in order to prevent significant odors. Storm water runoff from the site could be contaminated with dog fecal matter and could possibly end up in nearby wells, downstream drainages or Lake Oroville.

SR -70 is near the project site; however, the noise generated from the highway is shielded by the adjacent property. It is expected that ambient noise levels emanating from the project site could increase due to barking dogs. Measurement of noise from dog barking is complicated by the number of dogs barking at a given time, the individual and group characteristics of particular barks, the local sonic environment, and the practical difficulties in measuring and verifying such noise when it occurs. Noise attenuates approximately six decibels for every doubling of distance (for example, a sound emanating at a distance of sixty four (64) feet can be expected to be a reduction of six decibels as compared to the same sound emanating at a distance of thirty two (32) feet). Thus, to the nearest house, 415 feet from the kennel, noise from the kennel area might be expected to decrease by between 48 and 54 decibels, a substantial decrease in noise. However, noise attenuation — particularly as it occurs given the inconsistent character of a variable number of dogs barking — is difficult to predict due to a number of factors, including differing pitch, interference and angle of projection. Since distance from a source of noise has an attenuating effect, noise levels from barking dogs at nearby homes can be expected to be minimal due to the distance of the residential uses on adjacent parcels from the kennel and training areas. However, sensitivity to noise is subjective and barking dogs can be perceived as a nuisance, even if noise conforms to existing standards. Mitigation Measure 8 is added to insure that should excessive noise from dogs occur, it will not become a significant impact. If the actions in Mitigation Measure 8 fail to abate a noise nuisance related to dog barking, the Planning Commission can modify the Use Permit to reduce the number of dogs allowed or revoke the Use Permit if it reserves jurisdiction of the Use Permit. The project is not located in the 65 or 70 CNEL airport noise contour, according to the Butte County General Plan. Mitigation Measure 8 If the Department of Development Services or other County departments receive noise -related complaints regarding the project and the level of noise from the project is in excess of established standards, the applicant shall immediately implement all measures recommended by the Department of Development Services to reduce the noise impacts of the project to abate the nuisance. In response to any noise complaints, the Development Services Department may, at its discretion, and at the expense of the applicant, conduct noise studies and/or analyses in order to determine whether the project is within the established noise standards contained in the Noise Element of the. General Plan. Currently, the Noise Element (Chart No. 4) establishes that acceptable levels of noise for the project area shall not exceed 60 decibels Ldn or CNEL at any time. If noise levels from the project exceed these established standards, the project applicant shall reduce noise levels as directed by the Development Services Department, which may include, but are not limited to: 0 Changing the management and training approach and/or the dogs' training schedules; • Working with a dog behavior specialist to correct any issues leading to barking problems; • Installing sound -proofing within the kennel; • Erecting a sight -obscuring fence so that the dogs can't see off the project site; ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 19 of 31 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: Significant . with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f.

Neither Rich Gulch Road or Mortar Rock Road are County maintained or paved. It is expected that there will be a marginal increase in traffic on each road as a result of the build -out of the project. The primary increase in traffic will coincide with the establishment of Phase Three. Public Works has conditioned the project to install paved roads from Highway 70 to the project site. The Department of Public Works, Land Development Division, conditioned the project to meet the road standard RS -8 -LD -4 at the time that the operator embarks on establishing Phase Two or Three. Emergency access to the site has been identified as an issue by Cal Fire/Butte County Fire, and was addressed in Mitigation Measure 6 (see section 4.7 Hazards and Hazardous Materials). The Mitigation Measure restricts use of the facility for large group training to the non -fire season between November 1st and June 30th. With the incorporation of the Mitigation Measure, the project is not expected to result in inadequate emergency access. As noted in the Mitigation Measure, if the operator secures an emergency access that is sufficient to meet Cal Fire/Butte County Fire requirements, then large group training during the non -fire season would not pose an impact as noted in the respective sections. There is adequate area onsite area to provide parking for each phase of the project. During each phase, parking will be provided as it is required by section 24-240 (Parking regulations) of the Zoning Code.

Thus, the project would not have an impact on any wastewater or water treatment facilities. No off-site storm water drainage improvements should be required due to development of the project site. The project may increase the quantity of waste deposited in the Neal Road Landfill from the site by a minimal amount. According to the Butte County Public Works Department, the Neal Road Landfill is expected to reach maximum holding capacity by the year 2018. The project would have little or no impact on the capacity of this landfill. No impact would occur with respect to federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste.

Mitigation Measure 3: Prior to any development activity or the issuance of any permit or approval removing or encroaching upon oak trees on the project site (this generally includes the canopy drip -line of trees within the area of ground disturbance and trees subject to changes in hydrologic regime) an Oak Tree Mitigation Plan prepared by a certified arborist, registered professional forester, botanist or landscape architect shall be submitted for review and approval by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee that includes: 1) A survey showing the location of oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at breast height, as defined by PRC §21083.4(a); ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Sean Plummer UP 06-02 ■ Page 25 of 31 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Sean Plummer, File # UP 06-02 2) The removal of all oak trees 5 inches or more in diameter at breast height shall be mitigated. It shall be mitigated by one or more of the following: replanting and maintaining oak trees, establishing conservation easements, contributing funds for off-site oak woodlands conservation, and/or other mitigation measures developed by Butte County. Replanting oak trees cannot account for more than one-half of the mitigation. Replanted oak trees shall be maintained for a period of seven years after they are planted. If any of the replanted oak trees die or become diseased, they shall be replaced and maintained for seven years after the new oak trees are planted; 3) A replanting schedule and diagram for trees removed or encroached upon by permit activities consistent with PRC §21083.4(b)(2), applicable mitigation measures, and Butte County Ordinance, if any, shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. Replanted trees shall be planted in areas deemed appropriate by the Plan, considering future lot development, interference with foundations, fencing, roadways, driveways, and utilities. Trees planted shall be protected from livestock and other animals; 4) Oak Tree protection measures for trees to be retained within the project site shall be included in construction specifications. Each oak tree to be preserved shall be surrounded by a tree zone identified by the drip line of the tree. An orange plastic fence or other suitable type of fence shall be used to identify the tree zone during construction activities. No vegetation removal, soil disturbance, or other development activities shall occur within the tree zone in order to protect root systems and minimize compaction of the soil, unless authorized by Oak Tree Mitigation Plan; and 5) Conservation easements or funds for off-site oak woodlands conservation shall be proposed to and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit, all building plans and any subsequent development. No vegetation removal, grading, road construction, or other earthwork shall be permitted until the tree plan is submitted and approved. Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be satisfied prior to any development activity or the issuance of any grading, building, septic, or well permit, or the approval of any improvement plans on the parcels. Monitoring: At the time of septic, well, or building permit application, the Development Services Department will reference this requirement on any grading, building, septic, or well permit site plans and verify that an Oak Tree Mitigation Plan has been submitted to and approved by the Director of Development Services or his/her designee. Butte County building inspectors shall ensure compliance on-site. Mitigation Measure 4: Should grading activities reveal the presence of cultural resources (i.e., artifact concentrations, including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans, glass, etc.; structural remains; human skeletal remains), work within 50 feet of the find shall cease immediately until a qualified professional archaeologist can be consulted to evaluate the resource and implement appropriate mitigation procedures. Recommencement of development activities shall not occur until clearance is provided by the Butte County Department of Development Services. Should human skeletal remains be encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner. Should the County Coroner determine that such remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State law, to arrange for Native American participation in determining the disposition of such remains. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit and on all building plans. Timing: This measure shall be implemented during all site development activities. Monitoring: Should cultural resources be discovered, the landowner shall notify the Planning Division and a professional archaeologist. The Planning Division shall coordinate with the applicant and appropriate authorities to avoid damage to cultural resources and determine appropriate action.

Enclosed is a copy of the Agenda Report concemingyour application requesting a Use Permit to operate a non- profit dog training facility. The dogs are trained specificallyfor individuals with disabilities, such as hearing and seeing. The applicant is proposing to establish a kennel for twelve (12) dogs, and the facilities to house the clients and employees. The project is proposed tube established in three phases and will operate year round with approximatelythree to four training sessions per year. Lodging for clients will only be available from the first of November through the thirtieth of June. The parcel is located at 91 Mortar Rock Road (0.12 mile southeast of the Mortar Rock Road and Rich Gulch Road intersection), north of Lake Oroville on property zoned FR -1 OFR -10 (Foothill Recreational, ten -acre parcels). Should you have any concerns with the report or conditions of approval, please contact us in advance of the meeting so that wen ay work together to resolve your concerns. A public hearing has been set for January 10, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. This meeting will be held in the Board of Supervisors' Room, 25 County Center Drive, Oroville, California. The Planning Commission recommends that the applicant or their authorized representative be present at the hearing to respond to any questions the Commission may have. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Chris Tolley of this office at 530-538- 7603, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Sincerely, Tina Bonham Commission Clerk February 6, 2007 K-9 Crossroads 91 Mortar Rock Road Yankee Hill, CA 95965 Re: AP # 058-660-080 :Use Permit Attn: Chris Tolley Hi Chris. I'm sorry to be so long to get back to you about this Use Permit. We as an organization have had to make some hard decisions as to how we are going to move forward with this plan. Time constraints and money issues have forced us to make the decision to cut way back on our plans. We have eliminated phases 2 and 3 from our goals, at least for the time being. We will do our client trainings out of local hotels instead of here on the property. This change is going to void our request for "quasi public" as we will no longer be inviting the public to be on the property at large. We are changing the classification we, are seeking to "kennels_" which is still allowed according to our current zoning. We have also made the decision to hold our dog obedience classes out in the cul -d -sac so that traffic onto the property is no longer an issue. The concern that keeps coming up is Public Works demand that we pave a 20 foot wide access road all the way out to the highway. These changes will hopefully drop all of these requirements for our project. I have written up and included a new set of specs for the project. In these pages I have addressed your questions in regard to parking and noise. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

The owner, Edward Plummer in conjunction with K-9 Crossroads; a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides Assistance Dogs to persons with disabilities, are seeking to obtain a Use Permit so that construction of a kennel facility can be built. K-9 Crossroads purpose is to rescue shelter dogs that show potential as good household pets, bringing them into our program and provide them with necessary rehabilitation and training. These dogs will then be found appropriate homes and adopted'out. Dogs showing exceptional behaviors will be held back and given further training and placed to provide services to disabled individuals. Construction is designed for eight or nine 4x6 foot kennels with runs. Two of the runs will be designated for quarantine for when the dogs first come to us to keep then segregated from the main populace until we know that they are not carrying infectious diseases from the shelters. There is also a verylarge shaded area behind the construction site that will be fenced in for a play and exercise area. Environmental Information Form Supplemental Information #18 If institutional, indicate the major function, estimated employment per shift, estimated occupancy, loading facilities; and community benefits to be derived from the project. The major function to be performed at this location is the training of dogs, both as pets and to assist persons with disabilities by performing specific tasks that will benefit -the individual's needs. In the future, there is the possibility that K-9 Crossroads may hire one or two full time trainers, but for the most part, most of the work done for this project will be performed by volunteers. We anticipate in the near future to have volunteers to help with the training and maintenance of the dogs. Our intent would be to have one or two volunteers here helping six days a week. This would be a year-round project. The benefits derived from this project would be numerous. We will be saving the lives of at dogs, providing trained Assistance Dogs to disabled individuals for which there is a huge demand, and finding homes for dogs that would otherwise be euthanized. #32 Describe the project site as it exists before the project, including information on topography, soil stability, plants and animals, and any cultural, historical, or scenic aspects. Describe any existing structures on the site and the use of the structures. Attach photographs of the site. The property features an existing 1,200 square foot concrete slab outbuilding with metal walls and roof. We are proposing to remodel and equip this building for indoor training. Behind this existing building is a 16' x 40' shed roof that we intend to enclose to create contemporary housing facilities for our program's dogs. There is enough room to construct eight or nine four -by -six dog runs and behind the building is a large area that will be fenced and partially concreted for a dog exercise and run area. K-9 Crossroads does not anticipate housing more than fifteen dogs at any given time. The existing area, plus the enclosure would create 1,840 square feet of training space and dog sheltering capability. A portion of the back enclosure will be devoted to a fully accessible unisex lavatory for that building. (See attached drawing) The property features several large and beautiful Blue Oaks. Our plans for this project should have no impact on any of these trees, in fact, there should be very little impact on the land. #33 Describe the surrounding properties, including information on plants and animals and any cultural, historical, or scenic aspects. Indicate the type of land use (residential, commercial, etc.), intensity of land use and scale of development. Attach photographs of the vicinity. The property is situated in the foothills just before the highway begin the steep climb into the Sierras. 91 Mortar Rock Rd. is a parcel in the Deer Peak Lake Estates; a development of parcels each 10 acres or more that was once a cattle - grazing ranch. Although there are no views, Lake Oroville stretches to the North and East from the property and most of the land has not yet been developed.. Neighbors: There is only one neighbor in close proximity to the proposed installation and their residence is more than 500 feet from the closest outbuilding and faces away from our daily activities. Resources: Septic - Most of the property is suitable for the installation of a septic system and we will be soliciting the services of a qualified contractor to access the most effective design. The location of the proposed septic system has already been inspected and approved by Environmental Health. (see drawing) , Water — There are two dependable wells on the property and we have installed a 2,100 -gallon storage tank into the system. Electric — Electric utilities are already provided to the building Noise — The kennels are located on a secluded portion of the property. There is no traffic either vehicle or foot that will incite excessive barking. The dogs will be let out into the runs during the day and closed indoors each evening. Vehicle Traffic — The only traffic expected would be for one or two vehicles carrying volunteers to come train and walk the dogs. There is ample space for required parking. Environmental Health -- Septic Systems Training Center and Kennels usage will be • 1 or 2 trainers on site 5 or 6 days per week • Y2 hour daily to wash down of dog runs • 1 restroom with sink and toilet • 1 clothes washer for towels and incidentals to the kennel 0 Dog bathing AP# 058-660-008 Addendums: Building Our project will be in three phases: Phase -1: Remodel the existing 30 x 40 foot barn to provide us with training rooms; the largest space will accommodate obedience classes. We will then enclose the shed -roof on the back of the barn for our kennel facilities. We will also need to provide an accessible restroom with access from the main training room. And finally, provide a "store -front" type entrance with a protective overhang. Phase -2: It has come to our attention that restrictions in our zoning have been modified and that we can now add a second living structure with a kitchen on the property. In this phase we will construct living quarters with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a living room and a kitchen. This structure will fill the needs of housing a couple clients at a time during their training period until phase 3 can be completed. This structure can provide space to house live-in maintenance and kennel personnel after the completion of Phase 3. • Phase -3: Construction of a Lodge with restroom and kitchen facilities, 8 sleeping bungalows and an outbuilding for restrooms and shower facilities and laundry. At this time, we do not foresee that we will ever need to house more than 8 clients and possibly 2 attendants at any given time. Our projected time frames for completing these phases are Phase -1 within 3 years Phase -2 within 5 years Phase -3 within 10 years AP# 058-660-008 Environmental Health -- Septic Systems The training center lavatory, kennels and 2 -bedroom house to share a single septic tank.

'The following individuals attended the pre -development conference: Yvonne Christopher, Director of Development Services and Building Official Stephen Streeter, Interim Planning Division Manager Stephen Betts, Senior Planner Felix Wannenmacher, County. Counsel's Office Doug Fogel, Environmental Health Division Eric Schroth, Public Works Department Steve Fowler, Fire Department/CDF Rob Hill, Agricultural Commissioner's Office Sean and Edward Plummer, Applicants The project presented to the County is for a Use Permit to allow a dog training facility for the handicapped. Dogs would be trained on the site, and then the handicapped clients would be trained with the dogs. There would be up to six clients being trained at any one time, and up to 20 dogs being trained at any one time. Clients would live on the property for two to three weeks. There would be approximately three training sessions per years, but dogs would be kept on the site year around. Yurts are proposed to be utilized for living quarters. A group kitchen is.proposed, along with a central restroom and shower facilities. - You indicated that you are a tax exempt organization. It should be noted that the Butte County Board of Supervisors granted you a waiver for payment of the Use Permit application processing fees. The Butte County Public Works Department provided probable conditions of project approval, which are attached to this letter. The Public Works Department may require that the road leading to the property be improved to County Road Standard RS -8 LD -4 (attached). A drainage plan may be required to be submitted to _the Public Works Department in order to meet County drainage standards. A Construction Storm Water Permit will be required to be obtained from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board if more than one acre of land is disturbed due to development on the project site. Tlie Butte County Environmental Health Division stated that they had completed a pre - application review of the project, and it appeared that the property had adequate usable sewage disposal area to handle the waste water from the proposed project. A permit will need to be obtained from the Environmental Health Division for the kitchen. A permit may also be required to be obtained from the State of California for the kitchen. The Environmental Health Division stated that wastes from the dogs (solids and liquids) would need to be disposed of in an on -.site septic system. Additional information received from the Environmental Health Division indicates that a public water system will not be required. . The representative from the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner's Office stated that there did not appear to be any agricultural issues with your proposed project. Butte County Animal Control stated that a kennel permit must be obtained and maintained if more than five dogs are kept on the property. They stated that each dog would need at least a 4 -foot by 6 -foot cage, based upon the type of dogs you intend to train. They also stated that twenty dogs is a large amount of animals for two people to take care of and additional people may be required to attend to the dogs. Animal Control recommended that you keep only twelve dogs on the property until more than two people can attend to them (the Use Permit can be modified later if more dogs are desired). You stated that all of the dogs would be spayed or neutered and would have chips implanted in them for identification. You also mentioned that the dogs would not be bred. The Butte County Fire Department/California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention provide potential conditions of project approval, which are attached to this letter. You stated that you would not object to the Fire Department's condition that limits use of the facility to the non -fire season time period (November 1 to June 30). The Building Official stated that building permits will be needed for the yurts and deck. The yurts must be engineered, flame resistant, must meet the natural light and ventilation requirements of the California Building Code, and must be State of California energy compliant. The Building Official recommended that you have a code analysis prepared to determine what kind of occupancy the yurts would be. We also received written comments from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and from PG&E. Their continents are attached to this letter. Your proposed use is considered to be a quasi -public use, and such use requires that a Use Permit be obtained. You must submit a Use Permit application to the Planning Division, which will be reviewed 'by County departments and possibly State agencies, such as Caltrans and the Department of Fish and Game. Once the project is determined to be complete, the Butte County Planning Division will prepare an environmental evaluation of the Use Permit project, and may require certain mitigation measures if the project would cause environmental impacts. The following environmental impacts may occur due to the project: • Deer herd impacts • Impacts to rare, threatened, or endangered plant and animal species • Drainage swale impacts • Access to railroad tracks (danger to humans) • Increased traffic and turning movements on SR -70 • Cultural (archaeological) resources • Oak tree habitat •. Noise and solid waste from dogs (air and water quality impacts) • Erosion impacts • Emergency (secondary) egress Please note that there may be additional environmental impacts, which will not be known until such time as the Use Permit application is submitted and the environmental review process begun. Please be aware that if any environmental impact cannot be mitigated an Enviroiv»ental Impact Report (EIR) will be required. The Use Permit must be approved by the Butte County Planning Commission at a public hearing. The nearby landowners witl be notified of your project and will be given the opportunity to address the Planning Commission at the public hearing. If you have any questions regarding the results of the pre -development conference, please contact Dan Breedon at (530) 538-7601 or via e-mail at dbreedon@buttecounty.net.

BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING DIVISION; 55 OROVILE, CALIFORNIA • July 18, 2005 40 Butte County Department of Dev. Services RLECERVEM 7 County Center Drive JUL 1 8 2005 Oroville, CA 95965 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING DIVISION OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA Re: Use permit for APM 058-660-008 Project PRED 05-07 First, K-9 Crossroads would like to thank all of you for allowing us to meet with you and discuss all the issues related to this project. Since the Pre -Development meeting, we have met with several of the agencies to further discuss the issues that were brought forth at that time. We would like to make note of the following topics and ask that the Planning Department continue with our Use Permit process. 1. Public Works Our most pressing concerns are with Butte County Public Works. After a meeting with Eric Schroth it has been agreed that K-9 Crossroads will provide a 20 foot wide paved driveway from the end of the cul -d -sac to the proposed project area. After returning to the -property and looking at what this requirement would do to the esthetics of the property we would like to look at the width requirements again in the future. But, we do agree that this drive must be paved to facilitate the future needs of this project. It was checked in the "Standard'Conditions" that we would be required to submit plans for access roads before being issued any building permits. We would ask Public Works to consider modifying this condition to state that these plans will be required before any additional buildings can be erected on the property. This would allow us to address our septic needs as well as begin the necessary upgrades to the existing barn for the purpose of training and kenneling dogs on the property. Neither of these items should impact the usage of the drive beyond the use it is currently providing. 2. Butte County Fire There are no objections with any of the conditions presented from the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. We will begin seeking to obtain easements for secondary emergency egress from the property immediately. There will be no cooking in any of the yurts. Additionally, we will contact the department to develop a plan for maintenance on the water tank. 3. Building and Planning Engineer reports will be submitted in regards to utilizing yurts for this project. If it is found that yurts cannot comply to current regulations for health and safety, alternative building methods will be utilized. Our purpose for looking at yurts is that we feel they lend a very pleasing conformity to the locale and ambience of the property. As a result of concerns presented at the Pre -Development meeting, it has been decided to use more conventional building designs for the kitchen. This may actually turn out to be advantageous to us in the long run. 4. Environmental Health Due to the nature and the location of the project we are proposing, we look forward to working closely with Environmental Health so as to make this project as environmentally sound as possible. It is our intention to blend this project in and cause as little disruption to the environment as possible. It is for this reason that we are asking that the width of the driveway be reconsidered. 5. Animal Control K-9 Crossroads agrees to the limit of twelve (12) dogs until such time that we have additional manpower and proper facilities to handle the additional dogs on the property. Plans for the construction of'kennels has provided for the provision of 46 cubbies as required by law. It should also be noted that K-9 Crossroads is not and will not be in the business of breeding or of public boarding services. 6. California Regional Water Quality We will contact Scott Zaitz to inquire if there are permits or other considerations to be addressed in regards to this project. 7. Pacific Gas & Electric There are no overhead or underground utilities of any kind in the vicinity of this project. Overall, we feel that the terms and agreements between all the agencies and us are well within reason. We look forward to being a part of furthering the image of Butte County as a place where great things happen. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at 533-6477 or on my cell at 370-8724 Sean Plummer JUL 1 8 2005 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING DIVISION OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA C7 40 REECMWI-7M Environmental Information Form JUL 1 v 2005 Supplemental Information BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING DIVISIOM OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA #18 If institutional, indicate the major function, estimated employment per shift, estimated occupancy, loading facilities, and community benefits to be derived from the project. The major function to be performed at this location is the training of dogs to assist the disabled as well as provide our clients receiving our dogs comfortable lodging facilities during the time it takes us to instruct them in the use and care for their new companion. Our program requires that at least one person be readily available to tend to the dogs needs at all times. This is accomplished by the use of an existing 3 -bedroom mobile home on the property. In time we anticipate needing a small management staff and the utilization of volunteers and a few paid employees to facilitate many of our program needs as well as providing training to clients and our program dogs. Our projected goal is to comfortably accommodate up to 8 clients and possible attendants, beginning with 1 or 2 and building on that as resources permit. Using Canine Companions for Independence for a model, I would hope that in future years, K-9 Crossroads would be able to facilitate the transfer of up to 6 or 8 dogs at a time. Optimally, these sessions would be held 2 to 4 times a year. During these training sessions, clients would do a limited amount of in -and -out • driving from the facility. Most traffic in and out would be conducted as field trips in a multi - passenger vehicle to stores, malls and restaurants in the Oroville and Chico areas. #32 Describe the project site as it exists before the project, including information on topography, soil stability, plants and animals, and any cultural, historical, or scenic aspects. Describe any existing structures on the site and the use of the structures. Attach photographs of the site. The property features an existing 1,200 square foot concrete slab outbuilding with metal walls and roof. We are proposing to remodel and equip this building for indoor training and classes. Behind this existing building is a 16'x 40' shed roof that we intend to enclose to create contemporary housing facilities for our program's dogs. Behind the building is a large area that will be fenced and partially concreted for a dog exercise and run area. K-9 Crossroads does not anticipate housing more than 15 to 20 program dogs at any given time. The existing area, plus the enclosure would create 1,840 square feet of training space and dog sheltering capability. A portion of the back enclosure will be devoted to a fully accessible unisex restroom for that building. (See attached drawing) At the southeast end of the property we are proposing to construct a facility where we can temporarily house our clients while they are here for three weeks of supervised training. We are considering an area of approximately 100 x 115 feet. We are currently looking into various construction methods, but are seriously considering the use of Yurts, as they would provide a very manageable relaxed setting and can easily be accessed with wheelchair accessible ramps and decking. A large 30 foot Yurt would be needed to provided a common room where meals can be served as well as provide a comfortable setting for relaxation and entertainment. Additionally, a kitchen as well as a building to provide separate accessible lavatories with a JUL 1 8 2005 unisex wheelchair accessible shower room at one end. We may also consider Iocatirng;LanPLANNING DIVISION permanent office at this location. (Site -plan, pictures and brochure by Pacific Yurts attachbW)IFORMA The property features several large and beautiful Blue Oaks. Our plans for this property should have no impact on any of these trees and their presence only enhances' the atmosphere we are incorporating into our future plans at this location. The locations where we intend to do future expansion are mostly open spaces with the exception of some remaining brush clearing for fire clearances. #33 Describe the surrounding properties, including information on plants and animals and any cultural, historical, or scenic aspects. Indicate the type of land use (residential, commercial, etc.), intensity of land use and scale of development. Attach photographs of the vicinity. The property is situated in the foothills just before the highway begin the steep climb into the Sierras. 91 Mortar Rock Rd. is a parcel in the Deer Peak Lake Estates; a development of parcels each 10 acres or more that was once a cattle -grazing ranch. Although there are no views, Lake Oroville stretches to the North and East from the property and most of the land has not yet been developed. The one neighbor in sight is to the Northeast and her residence is located 100 feet past the property line which is approximately 600 feet from land we wish to develop. Neighbors: There is only one neighbor in close proximity to the proposed installation and their residence is more than 500 feet from the closest outbuilding and faces away from our daily activities. Resources: Septic - Most of the property is suitable for the installation of a septic system and we will be soliciting the services of a qualified contractor to mess the- most effective design for both current and future needs. Water — There are two dependable wells on the property and we installed a 2,100 -gallon storage tank into the system. This tank will be accessible as a backup water supply and will be fitted with fireplugs for CDF access at key locations on the property. Electric — Electric utilities are available at the Southeast end of the property and would require a run of no more than 300 feet for access to the proposed installation.

Subject: Use Permit UP 06-02 — Payment of California Department of Fish and Game . CEQA Fees (APN 058-660-008) Dear Mr. Plummer: This letter is to confirm your conversation today with Principal Planner Stacey Jolliffe in which you indicated you are not prepared to pay California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) Notice of Determination (NOD) filing. fees for approximately six months. As a result, Ms. Jolliffe informed you that the scheduled January 10, 2008 public hearing before the Butte County Planning Commission is proposed to be continued off -calendar, to an unspecified date when the fees can be paid. During a conversation on December 17, 2007, Associate Planner Chris Tolley explained the necessity of the NOD filing fees collected on behalf of CDFG. This office recognizes that the Board of Supervisors waived all fees associated with the Use Permit; however, Butte County is unable to waive the NOD filing fees, which are State fees. As of January 1, 2008, the State Legislature will increase the CEQA fee for filing a Notice of Determination to $1,876.75 and Clerk -Recorder handling will remain at.$50. Therefore a balance of $1,926.75 is due on your project. In addition, the Legislature removed local authority for determining any exemptions to these fees and placed that responsibility with CDFG. Staff has investigated whether the increased fees could be applied only to projects submitted after January 1, 2007 and discovered that was not the case. All fees must be paid prior to the filing of the Notice of Determination. The Public Resources Code states: 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 (Public Resources Section 711.4 (c) (3)) (emphasis added). As a result of these changes, the $1,876.75 Department of Fish and Game filing fee (payable to Butte County) is now collected by the Department of Development Services prior to circulation of Draft Negative Declarations. Incases such as yours where the Draft Negative Declaration has already been circulated, we require additional fees ($1,926.75) be paid prior to the public hearing to allow us to complete your project and meet the requirements of the new legislation. Please notify this office when you are prepared to pay the fees so we may reschedule your project for the next available hearing before the Butte County Planning Commission. I understand this represents a substantial increase in total fees you were originally informed of for this application and I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this change in state law. I have enclosed a copy of a cover letter from the County Clerk -Recorder further explaining the fee. We look. forward, as we are sure you do, to the Planning Commission hearing and completion of your project. Please contact the project planner, Chris Tolley, at (530) 538-7603 or myself at (53 0) 538-6573 with any questions or we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Charles S.

I understand your frustration with the fish and game fees, as well as the length of time that it has taken to process the application. After discussing the issue with my manager (Chuck Thistlethwaite), we determined that the fee has to be paid before we can move forward. I'll briefly explain why this fee is necessary: • Once the project is approved (by either the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors), we must record a Notice of Determination/Exemption regarding the project, as specified in State law. • This Determination limits court action on the environmental document to thirty days. • Concurrently with the filing of the notice, we must file the Fish and Game determination including fees. I've attached the memorandum from Fish and Game, which will explain the fees. Like it explains, the fee was $1,250 and was increased to $1,800 on January 1, 2007. As it stands, the project will be ready for hearing on January 10, 2007. Our standard practice is to "continue" the hearing to a date certain, if the applicant is unable to pay the fee prior to hearing. Even if you are not able to pay the fee, we can continue the hearing for a period of time that is necessary for you to gather the funds. I've also attached the code section dealing with a request for exception.to a design standard. As I briefly stated, you 1) should modify your letter to cover the "required" subject, and 2) be prepared to discuss the same at the Planning Commission meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions. -Chris 12/26/2007 Re: Site Visit for Use PermitUW-02 (Plummer) • Page 2 of 4 From: Sean Plummer [mailto:dadogfather@nvwisp.com] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 3:02 PM .

First, I've got to address the obedience classes in the Initial Study (the environmental document that is being prepared, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act). I was hoping to address the classes as an existing home occupation (HOC 02-18), but HOC 02-18 doesn't appear to approve obedience classes. The permits makes reference to the proposed activity as "training assistance dogs for persons with disabilities." This leaves me in a position of trying to determine that this is in fact a permit for obedience classes (I will bring this up at our meeting tomorrow), or folding the classes into the use permit. It seems more likely that we can fold the classes into the use permit; however, this may bring up some limitations. In light of Public Works restructuring the road improvement requirements, the obedience classes may prove to be an issue (the Land Development Division may not be able to provide an answer until August 13, 2007). There are a couple of ways that we can precede with regard to the classes as a part of the use permit: 1. They are established in Phase One (Public Works would need to reevaluate the waiver of the improvement requirements until phase two) with possible limitations on the number of people and limited to operating during the non -fire season. 2. They are established in Phase Two (Public Works would not need to reevaluate the waiver of the improvement requirements until phase two) with possible limitation on the number of people and limited to operating during the non -fire season. 3. Any other ideas? The other concern is that the obedience classes are not part of the non-profit operation and charter. It seems to be a minor aspect of the operation that should not cause much issue, but I've got to be answer these types of questions in the Initial Study, Agenda Report and be prepared to answer a question at public hearing.. Is there any information that you can provide (such as your charter or bi-laws... or the definition of a non-profit for IRS purposes) that may clarify this issue. The deadline is approaching for this to be ready for the September 13th Planning Commission meeting, so it is advisable to address these issues ASAP. Let me know if you have any questions. -Chris Christopher J.

My email is a little long, but I hope that it addresses all your comments and questions... The ten day review was done so the commenting agencies would have a chance to review the mitigation measures, and to allow you some time to review the document. It is typically done for more complicated projects. Prior to sending an initial study to the State Clearinghouse for 30 day review, we require that the applicants acknowledge the mitigations/conditions through a signature. I should have made that more clear. It allows us to move forward with the knowledge that the applicant/owner has agreed to study and required mitigations. The road improvement issue will need to be resolved at the Planning Commission; however, you will need to request an exception to that design standard. I do not know if it will be granted by the Planning Commission, but I can guarantee that an exception will not be granted if one is not made. It appears that the road improvement condition has been the same since your original application. I spoken with PW on multiple occasions, and they will not waive, change or reduce their condition. Generally, they do not change their conditions, because the matter of analyzing which projects will or will not require improvements is performed by the Planning Commission. I MUST EMPHASIZE that you will have to request an exception to the road improvements, pursuant to butte county code section 20-4. If you do not, then the Planning Commission will not be able to grant the exception. I've included a copy of 20-4. The time of year mitigation/condition is required by CDF/CalFire, and I am not able to compromise for their department. I suggest that you work with CDF/CalFire if you request that they change their mitigation/condition. Otherwise, it will remain as it is shown. Although, I recently asked their Department if they would consider the dog obedience classes as part of the limitation, and their answer affirmed that they considered the obedience classes as part of the limitation. Please let me know if you are going to contact CDF/CalFire to address their condition/mitigation. At this time, if you wish to move forward and schedule the project for hearing, you will need to come into the office and sign the initial study. If you wish to speak CDF/CalFire, then I will place the project on hold (or pause) until you resolve the issues with their Department. I would address all of these issues at this time, prior to going to hearing. Again, I must emphasize that you will need to request an exception to the road improvement requirements, if you would like for the Planning Commission to consider granting the exception. 9/26/2007 • • Page 2 of 3 Please let me know if you have any questions! -Chris From: Sean Plummer [mailto:seanp@k9crossroads.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 12:29 PM To: Tolley, Chris Subject: RE: UP 06-02 ten day review Hi Chris, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were holding things up until you heard from me in regards to this. I finally got a chance to read the whole thing last night.... My main issue of concern is that we are still being required to pave from the project site out to Hwy 70. (sec. 4.15 discussion) When I came in and had my first meeting with Public Works (LONG before you took this over) it was agreed that we would only be required to improve the road from the cul -d -sac of Mortar Rock Road back to the project site. This agreement has never been upheld and is of major concern for obvious reasons. Our hopes are that the homeowners assoc. will, come through(as they have been talking about for years now) and have the roads paved before we get to this point. But, after years of discussion, they still haven't gotten around to it. 1 don't want nor do I believe I should be responsible for paving my neighbor's roadway if they haven't succeeded in getting this project accomplished before we get to this point in our development. I am also a bit miffed that I my obedience classes are under the same restrictions as the rest of our project i.e. July 1st thru October 31St. September and October are two of the nicest months for me to hold my classes weather-wise as they are held outdoors in the cul -d -sac. From the cul -d -sac, emergency evacuation should not be considered a major problem as compared to if I held them back in the project area. Could we compromise on maybe how many dogs (cars) that I can accommodate during those two months and that all classes will be held in the cul -d - sac? Other than these two things, everything else looks good!!

As we discussed, I would like clarification on the actual project description and I've got a couple of questions. I'm listing the project, below, as I believe it is proposed. It is essential that our analysis incorporates the entire project, or there will potentially be problems for your implementation of the project. Please let me know if this is an accurate description of the project, and please make corrections or additions where you desire: Project Description: The applicant is requesting a Use Permit to operate a non-profit dog training facility (the "project"). The dogs are trained specifically for individuals with disabilities (the "client"), such as hearing and seeing. The applicant is proposing to establish a kennel for twelve (12) dogs, and facilities to house the clients and employees. The project is proposed to operate year round, with approximately three to four training sessions per year. Lodging for clients will only be available from the first of November through the thirtieth of June (the "restricted time"). The project, including the kennel, training areas and housing for the employees and clients is proposed to be established in three phases. Phase one includes remodeling the existing 1,200 square foot barn into training rooms and the kennel facility. The dog training activities are proposed to be established following the barn remodel. A fenced play and exercise area will be constructed adjacent to the remodeled barn. Phase two includes the construction of a second dwelling, either a conventional house or modular home. Following the implementation of phase two, one to four people will be able to reside on the site during the training sessions, excluding the restricted time. Second dwellings are allowed within the zone district, and do not require discretionary approval. Phase three includes construction of the client housing facilities that are capable of housing a maximum of ten people, excluding the restricted time. The housing facilities include a lodge, patio, shower facilities and wash room. The proposed use would require building permits to be obtained for construction of the structures, septic systems and the kennel. The applicant will also maintain four personal dogs, unrelated to the dog training facility. The applicant is requesting an exception to the road improvement standard required by Public Works. Please make note that this description does not include the obedience classes that you've mention in a few of the documents in the files. If this is part of your project, then please describe it in more detail (i.e., at what time of year will they occur, when will it occur, how many different vehicles, where will you provide parking). The environmental document that the County will be publishing includes a section dealing with transportation, traffic and parking. The sections that are crucial are traffic and parking. Our analysis of the traffic situation . includes the total number of anticipated vehicle trips per day, per week or per month. I must be able to analyze a specific number, even if it is simply an estimate. You should anticipate that parking will be required based on the total number of people located at the site during any given time. How many vehicle trips do you estimate taking place during any given day, week and month? Please provide the numbers as they relate to each phase. Will the obedience classes be taking place during the two to three week training sessions? How and where will you deal with parking? 12/14/2006 • • Page 2 of 2 I am just about finished with the Initial Study, awaiting the answers to the questions that I've posed. After the initial study is reviewed, we will publish it with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research for a minimum of thirty days and a maximum of forty five days. During that time period, I will prepare the staff report for public hearing.

I would appreciate some comments that I can include with the staff report. Request #1: the applicant requests that the Planning Commission waive the requirement to improve the roads connecting the property with Highway 70. Request #2: the applicant is requesting that the onsite road improvement requirements be reduced from twenty -feet to sixteen -feet. I have not been able to find any specific conditions that reference this standard, so I assume that this is coming from PRC 4290 or 4291. If it does come from PRC 4290 or 4291, what are the specific requirements? The applicant may not be able to secure a waiver from the condition, if it is not located in Chapter 20. Please let me know if you have any questions. October 16, 2007 Butte County Planning Commission 7 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 Re: UP 06-02 (Plummer) Exceptions We are asking that the Planning Commission consider our request for two exceptions to the requirements called for in regards to the roadwork needed for our project. First: It has been a back -and -forth battle over the past three years as to whether we will be required to pave both Mortar Rock and Rich Gulch Roads from our parcel out to Hwy. 70. In a 2005 meeting with Eric Scroth it was agreed that we would only be responsible from the cul -d -sac of Mortar Rock Road back to our project area. It seems this decision was never documented. Our project is for the development of a non-profit organization and paving the half mile stretch of Rich Gulch and Mortar Rock is a financial burden that will be extremely difficult to justify in grant proposals. Both Rich Gulch and Mortar Rock Roads are maintained by the homeowners association of Deer Peak Estates. For the past few years, the association has been discussing the feasibility of paving all the roads in this in this community but there is no guarantee that this will be accomplished by the time we are ready to move into phase two of our project. We would ask that the Planning Commission grant us exemption from the responsibility of paving our neighbors' roadways. Second: We understand and agree that the drive between the cul -d -sac of Mortar Rock Road and our project area will have to be improved, but we would ask that the Planning Commission consider reducing the width requirement to 16 feet. There are two concerns regarding this. First, currently the width of the grading is approximately 16 feet and we- are concerned about encroaching further into the environment and esthetics of the property. Second, we have been experiencing an increasing number of break-ins and vandalism to the homes and properties in this community. Increasing the width of the road beyond that of a driveway will provide an open invitation to persons who have no business being back there. At a width of 16 feet, we can easily gate the drive in an attempt to discourage and control trespassers to both ours and our neighboring properties. We hope that the Planning Commission will see clear to grant us exceptions to these two issues. Thank you for your time and consideration, Sean Plummer E�RESORy B iRF RROilC IOy EAL F/RE SINCE 1605 MEMORANDUM To: Planning — Chris Tolley From: Matt Damon, Butte County Life Safety Officer Date: October 15, 2007 Re: UP06-02 Plummer - Fire Department Standard Conditions Chris, this is in reference to the phone conversation we had this afternoon. The secondary access road and the non -fire season only requirements may be dropped from this permit. Per Mr. Plummer's statements of "5 to 6 people for one hour dog obedience classes", the above requirements are not applicable. Should Mr. Plummer increase the size and duration of his operation the above requirements may then be applied as well as a review for current CFC requirements.
