Do you concur with closing this one out? Summary: "Since the Planning Commission Public Hearing, a meeting was held with the City of Chico and the Butte County Development Services on this issue. There was a discussion on a proposed fire station by the City on Eaton Road, on the west side of Highway 99. It was determined since the parcel in question for the GPA/REZ for the proposed relocation of Fire Station #42 is within the Sphere of Influence area for the City of Chico and would most likely be annexed into the City, that two fire stations that close together would not be the best scenario.

The continuance was requested to allow the Planning Division to address County Counsel concerns regarding the proper procedure for imposing conditions on a General Plan Amendment and Rezone. County Counsel expressed concern with the use a Conditional Zoning Agreement to impose the conditions under consideration for this project. The proposed conditions are similar to what would be imposed through a Use Permit process; however, the County Counsel indicated that it was not appropriate to condition a General Plan Amendment in this manner. The recommended conditions are as follows: 1. Prior to the issuance of building permits obtain encroachment permit for all new or existing driveway approaches and construct them to County standards, as specified in County Improvement Standards. 2. Prior to issuance of building permits deed to Butte County, in fee simple, 40 feet of right-of-way from the Centerline of Eaton Road. The right-of-way shall be sufficient for installation of a standard No. S-5 at all street intersections. 3. Prior to issuance of building permits submit road and drainage improvement plans for installation and construction of the street frontage improvements on Hicks Lane to RS-2A (4-Lane) standards including but not limited to vertical P.C.C. curb, gutter and sidewalk and the required street section. Submit plans to Department of Public Works for review and approval. 4. Prior to the issuance of building permits dedicate a one foot "no access strip" or relinquish abutters rights to Butte County, along the Eaton Road frontage of parcel 007-240-078, except at approved access points. 5. Prior to the recordation of the issuance of building permits a plan for a permanent solution for drainage shall be submitted prior to and approved by the Department of Public Works. The drainage plan shall specify how drainage waters shall be detained on site and or conveyed to the nearest natural or publicly maintained drainage channel or facility and shall provide that there shall be no increase in the peak flow runoff to said channel or facility. 6. Prior to the issuance of a building permit all wells not proposed to be used shall be destroyed under a valid Butte County Environmental Health Division permit. 7. Prior to the issuance of a building permit meet the requirements of the Nitrate Compliance Area 8. Prior to issuance of a building permit a landscape plan shall be submitted detailing screening between the proposed use and surrounding residential area 9. All outdoor trash storage and collection facilities shall be enclosed by a solid masonry wall or view-obscuring fence at least one (1) foot higher than the trash container. The Department of Development Services and County Ccunsel have determined that a deed restriction would be the better course of action to impose these conditions, and to ensure that they are enforced in the future. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission continue the item open until July 10, 2003 (tentative), so that the agenda report can be appropriately revised to include the use of a deed restriction reflecting the aforementioned conditions. d BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT - April 24, 2003 Applicant: Butte County Department of Development Services Parcel Size: 1.4 acres +/- File#: GPA/RZ 03-01 Zone date: September 17, 1968 Request: General Plan Amendment Project Mark Michelena, from Commercial to Public Planner: Associate Planner and a Rezone from C-2 to P-Q (Public, Quasi-Public) Supervisor District: 3 G.P.: Commercial Attachments: Zoning: C-2 (General Commercial) A. General Plan/Zoning Map B. Vicinity Map APN: 007-240-078 C. Public Notice Map D. Conditional Zoning Agreement(Draft) Location: On the northeast corner of E. Initial Study Hicks Lane and East Eaton Road, at 3514 Hicks Lane, Chico STAFF COMMENT: Staff recommends approval of the General Plan and Rezone with conditions and findings. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SITE CHARACTERISTICS: This is an application for a General Plan Amendment from Commercial to Public and a Rezone from C-2 (General Commercial) to P-Q (Public, Quasi-Public). The area proposed for the General Plan Amendment and Rezone encompasses 1.4 acres. Upon approval of the project, the applicants propose to construct a 10,000 square foot building(approximate)that will house the fire equipment and fire fighters. Additional structures may be placed on the site, or existing structures could be used. The proposed use is the relocation of Butte County Fire Station #42 facility which is currently located on Cohasset Road. There will be 3 to 5 full time on-site firefighters along with a varying number of volunteer firefighters that will be present when called. Access to the site will be from a driveway off either East Eaton Road or Hicks Lane,approximately 250 feet east of State Route(SR) 99. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 1 0 The project site is currently developed with five existing structures,which were used for boat repair and sales. The on-site structures may or may not be used by the proposed fire station. The site is level and does not contain any unusual physical characteristics. Non-native trees are found on the site. The site is not within a 100-year flood zone. The project is located near the Chico Municipal Airport, within Compatibility Zone "C-2". The project was reviewed by the Airport Land Use Commission and was found consistent. The parcel is not subject to a California Land Conservation Agreement contract ("Williamson Act"). Surrounding parcels to the north and east are zoned A-SR(Agricultural—Suburban Residential)and have a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential. Parcels to the west are zoned C-C (Community Commercial) and have a General Plan land use designation of Commercial. Parcels to the South are zoned C-1 (Light Commercial) and have a General Plan land use designation of Commercial. Surrounding and nearby parcels range in size from one-half to 2.5 acres. The predominant land uses in the project area are residential dwellings at rural/suburban densities. The project site is located to the northeast of the City of Chico(across the intersection of East Eaton Road and Hicks Lane),and is within the City of Chico Sphere of Influence and the Chico Urban Area. ANALYSIS: The site has been used for several different commercial uses over the years. The last commercial use was a boat repair and sales yard. The site is located at the intersection of two major roads,which is an appropriate location for a commercial use. The initial study for this project did not identify any significantly potential impacts,but did identify several that would have a less than significant impact. Due to the inclusion of required conditions as part of project approval,the rezone to Public/Quasi-Public is a"conditional rezone." A conditional zoning agreement, listing the conditions of project approval, must be signed and recorded by the applicants. Some of the conditions are: • The site must be developed in accordance with the future site plan. • Prior to issuance of a building permit all wells not proposed to be used shall be destroyed under a valid Butte County Environmental Health Division permit. • Drainage plans must be submitted to and approved by Caltrans and the Butte County Public Works Department. Consistency with the General Plan The proposed project does not require the extension of sewer or water and will not substantially detract from existing surrounding uses. The proposed use will not create a concentration of public uses in the area because only the proposed use will be allowed on the site and the parcel will not be able to be divided. The proposed use is compatible with and will not adversely impact surrounding land uses because the type of use will help provide better fire safety to the area north of Chico in Butte County. Finally, the site is serviced adequately by East Eaton Road, Hicks Lane and State Route(SR)99. Proposed traffic improvements on East Eaton Road,Hicks Lane and the northbound State Route (SR) 99 off-ramp will improve circulation in the area. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 2 0 Because the project is proposed for a Public General Plan land use designation, the Butte County General Plan Land Use Element's Goals and Policies apply to this project. Approval of this project will locate the Fire Station #42 and improve the level of fire service to the North Chico area. The proposed project is consistent with the following applicable policies found in the Land Use Element: 5.7.a Locate new fire stations with consideration to accessibility, future development and natural fire hazards. 5.7.b Encourage central and convenient locations for all government buildings consistent with land use plans. General Plan Criteria and Zoning Factors The Public General Plan land use designation has five criteria for inclusion of parcels into this designation. They are: 1. Needed for public development within 20 years. The purpose of this General Plan amendment and rezone is to allow for the relocation of an existing Fire Station #42 on Cohasset Road in Chico. The site would better serve the north end of the County. 2. Adequate utilities, water supply, and sewage disposal capabilities. Electrical and phone utilities already extend to the site. No other commercial uses are located near the site. The site is located in an area that contains large valley aquifers. The Butte County Environmental Health Department did not indicate that the soils on the site are inadequate for an on-site septic system. All septic systems on the site must meet the requirements of the Environmental Health Department. 3. Suitable location and road access for this type of use. The site is located on East Eaton Road and Hicks Lane, approximately 250 feet east of the northbound Highway 99 on-ramp. The project site is an appropriate location for this public use to better serve the north area of Chico. 4. Adequate fire and police protection. The use will not require any additional services to be provided due to the fact that this fire station is being relocated and not a new facility. 5. Sufficient space for future expansion. The proposed fire station site plan has not been completed at the time of the staff report. The site was chosen knowing it would handle the future needs for fire service. Zoning Factors 1. Size of'parcel and proposed use. The parcel was determined to have the necessary size to accommodate the proposed fire station. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ PAGE 3 0 2. Permanency of facility. The relocation of Fire Station #42 to this site will better serve the growing population in the North Chico Area. This location will serve as a permanent or semi-permanent location and the proposed P-Q (Public, Quasi-Public) zone would be appropriate rather than the existing Commercial zone which would allow the fire station with a Use Permit. However, there are no guarantees that this relocation will be of a permanent nature. Determination of new,or relocation of existing facilities,will depend on the demand needs of the area. 3. Protection of surrounding residences and other uses. The area is a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial uses. The addition of the Fire Station facility will not adversely affect the aesthetic character of the area. 4. Suitability of site for proposed use. This site was determined to be adequate to handle the anticipated use required for the Fire Station facility. 5. Effects on water quality, air quality, noise, traffic flow and safety, and general environmental quality. The various impacts that the proposed project may cause are addressed as follows: Water Quality All wastewater generated by proposed use would be handled by individual on-site septic systems. The Butte County Environmental Health Division does not object to the use of septic systems on the site. Septic systems placed on the site must meet the requirements of the Butte County Environmental Health Division. Less than significant impacts to surface water or ground water are anticipated from the proposed use of septic systems on the site. The proposed use will have the same or less impervious surfaces than the existing use on-site. Therefore, no increase in surface water runoff is expected due to any additional impervious surfaces being proposed. Future development of the parcel shall be performed in a manner that will not create adverse drainage conditions. The proposed use shall be served by public water and will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. Air Quality Vehicle traffic generated by the project site would not result in a cumulative impact on air quality due to this being a relocated fire station,rather than an additional station. There would not be a net increase of any criteria pollutant or additional exposure to sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations since no new facilities are being added only an existing one is being relocated. The proposed will not generate objectionable odors that would affect a substantial number of people. Potential odors from the site could be from diesel and gasoline being on the property, but they would be less than significant. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 4 ■ Noise: The uses associated with this project would not create a significant increase in ambient noise levels within or in proximity to the project site. The project site/area is subject to periodic noise generated by the sirens of the fire engines and the engines themselves. The Butte County Noise Element states the noise environment of a community has a base of steady background noise made up of many sources. The noise of individual events, such as a fire engine siren, is.superimposed on this background. Butte County Noise Element determines that noise levels up to 60 dB CNEL are normally acceptable for residential areas. The noise element also states that Ldn or CNEL are descriptions of diurnal in noise levels. They are a weighted average of daytime and nighttime sound levels, with the nighttime noise being weighted more. heavily. While the use has the potential to create noise levels of a short duration that exceed both the day and night (50 db CNEL) acceptable level, over the 24-hour time period for measuring the noise level, the use will meet the acceptable level. Since the duration of the fire engines and sirens are for short,intermittent timeframe,there will not be significant ongoing noise effect on the surrounding area. Construction activities on the site would temporarily generate high noise levels on and adjacent to the project site intermittently during project development activities, especially during grading activities. This construction noise would not have a significant impact on nearby residents because the noise would be intermittent and short-term in nature. Very little grading would be necessary due to the level topography of the site. Traffic Flow and Safety: The proposed fire station use will not result in a large amount of vehicle traffic that will impact road capacities. During an emergency, traffic would be delayed for a very brief time while the fire engines leave the station. General Environmental Quality: All of the vegetation on the site consists of non- native trees and grass. The site does not contain any wetlands or vernal pools,nor is it known to be habitat for any rare, endangered, tireatened plant, or animal species. 6. Local Desires. The relocation of the Fire Station#42 will better serve the residents in North Chico. The new location is in more of a commercial/industrial area, which will reduce impacts of residential areas. Determining that the General Plan Amendment is within the Public Interest California Government Code Section 65358 indicates that amendments to the General Plan can be approved by the legislative body when they are found to be in the public interest. In order to approve a General Plan amendment, the Planning Commission must recommend to the Board of Supervisors that this action is in the public interest. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 5 0 Aesthetic Concerns The project will not result in a significant change in the visual aesthetics on a portion of the site, with the change being from a commercial use to a fire station. Some of the existing commercial use would be removed while new structures to house the fire equipment and firefighters would be constructed. The final design of the proposed building(s) has not been determined, but will not be out of character to the area. In order to ensure that landscaping is installed,a landscape plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Division prior to issuance of a building permit for the new structure/structures. The project is not expected to cause a significant visual impact due to the existing mix of uses in the area, including industrial, commercial and residential. Appropriate landscape screening will be required to soften the edge between the proposed public facility and residential area. The City of Chico commented on this project and stated development of the site should take into consideration the potential realignment of Hicks Lane. The proposed site development will be designed to work with the all potential scenarios, including the existing alignment and all potential realignments of Hicks Lane. This project is conditioned to prohibit public uses other than what is proposed from being established on the project site. The site will be minimally lighted for nighttime safety. These lights should not create any glare to spill out into residential areas. Agricultural Impacts The proposed use will not have agricultural impacts. There i3 no California Land Conservation Agreement ("Williamson Act") affecting the project site. The P-Q zoning district allows by right only a few types of uses, such as public schools, public parks,public playgrounds,public hospitals,and publicly owned buildings and land. At the present time, the site is proposed only for a fire station and potential battalion office headquarters. An additional condition of approval shall be incorporated to prohibit any land divisions of the parcel. The Butte County Agricultural Commissioner had no objections. Storm Water Drainage Impacts This project will not ultimately result in the creation of new impervious surfaces so no significant increase in surface water runoff can be expected due to the proposed use. The Butte County Public Works Department commented on the project and were concerned about the increase in surface water runoff caused by development of the site. In order to prevent any significant surface water runoff impacts,drainage plans shall be submitted to and approved by each of these agencies. With the construction of the drainage facilities as approved by these agencies,no impacts with respect to surface water drainage from the site are expected. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 6 0 Vehicle Circulation Impacts The propose project will not cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system(i.e.,result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips,the volume to capacity ratio on roads,or congestion at intersections). Based on the latest traffic studies by Butte County Association of Governments(BCAG)on January 29,200 1,the three day average on Eaton Avenue east of State Route(SR)99 is 9,979,which is a Level of Service"B",which is an acceptable. The proposed use is a relocation of an existing fire station located on Cohasset Road,just south of Eaton, approximately 1.9 miles away. There is no set formula to determine the number of vehicle trips/day for a fire station,the amount of trips will be determined by the number of staff on duty and the average number of emergency call per day Access to the site will be from East Eaton Road and/or Hicks Lane, and the site driveway will be approximately 250 feet from SR 99. There are no traffic signals located at the intersection of Hicks Lane and East Eaton Road, only a stop sign on Hicks Lane. There are plans for road improvements/realign of Hicks Lane in order to alleviate traffic congestion on East Eaton Avenue and SR 99. Butte County Association of Governments has prepared a Draft Chico Corridor Study on SR 99. Due to the anticipated increase in traffic volumes in the future; the widening of Eaton Road to 4 lanes will create the need for interchange improvements. The realignment of,or widening of,Hicks Lane will also affect the interchange. The proposed improvements have included short term solutions of installing signals at the State Highway and Eaton Road intersections, and mid to long term solutions of reconstructing the SR 99 and Eaton Road interchange. These proposed improvements will help the overall circulation for the area, but as discussed previously, the use proposed, will not generate a significant increase in traffic to the area. ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 7 0 ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION: Should the Planning Commission find that the proposed conditions found in Section III of this report are satisfactory; staff recommends that the Commission take the following actions. 1. Recommend adoption of a Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts to the Board of Supervisors, with the following findings: A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act,and that said study did not identify any significant environmental effects and a Negative Declaration is proposed. B. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the review process. C. On the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the Butte County Department of Development Services General Plan and Rezone, Planning Division File No. GPA/RZ 03-01, will have a significant effect on the environment. D. The proposed Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the County, which is the Lead Agency. Il. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish and wildlife or their habitat, and a "de minimus" exemption regarding impact to fish and wildlife or their habitat is recommended. The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and 14 CCR 753.5, is not required. The project site is not known to contain any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The project will not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat; have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources; or conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan. III. Recommend to the Board of Supervisors approval of General Plan Amendment and Rezone GPA/REZ 03-01 on APN 007-240-078 from Commercial to Public and a rezone from C-2 (General Commercial) to P-Q (Public, Quasi-Public), and recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt the Ordinance rezoning said property subject to the Conditional Zoning Agreement attached to the Zoning Ordinance as Exhibit "A", with the following findings: ■ BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT 0 PAGE 8 ■ A. That the following conditions to be made part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement: 1. Prior to the issuance of building permits dedicate a one foot"no access strip" or relinquish abutters rights to Butte County, along the Eaton Road frontage of parcel 007-240-078, except at approved access points. 2. Prior to issuance of a building permit a landscape plan shall be submitted detailing screening between the proposed use and surrounding residential area. 3. All outdoor trash storage and collection facilities shall be enclosed by a solid masonry wall or view-obscuring fence at least one (1) foot higher than the trash container. B. The location of the project site at intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane is appropriate for the proposed public use. C. The project will not cause any significant impacts to vehicle circulation in the area because of the type of use and that it is a relocation of an existing fire station facility less than 2 miles away. D. Future development of the property is required to_neet Butte County Environmental Health Department requirements for sewage disposal and water E. The proposed P-Q zoning is consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of Public. F. This General Plan Amendment is in the public interest because it allows a public use that will better serve the residents in the north area of Chico. G. The design of the proposed fire station structure(s) shall be harmonious with the character of the project area.

Applicant/Owner: Butte County Department of Development Services/Public Works B. Representative: Butte County Department of Development Services C. Engineer: NA D. Staff Contact: Mark Michelena(530)538-7376 E. Proiect Name: Butte County(GPA/RZ 03-01) F. Proiect Location: Northeast comer of Hicks Lane and East Eaton Road,at 3514 Hicks Lane,Chico G. Type of Application(s): General Plan Amendment/Rezone H. Assessor's Parcel Number(s): 007-240-078 I. Proiect Site Size: 1.4 acres+/- J. Current Zoning: C-2(General Commercial) K. General Plan Designation: Commercial L. Environmental Setting: The project site is located at the intersection of East Eaton Road and Hicks Lane in an unincorporated area of Butte County, north of the City of Chico. The 1.4-acre project site is developed with five buildings. The site is flat and does not contain any native plant species or any drainages. Non-native trees are found on the site. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood zone. The project is located near the Chico Municipal Airport, within Compatibility Zone "C-2," which is the second least restrictive airport zone, but is not located within an over flight zone. The project is located within the Chico Urban Area. M. Surrounding Land Uses: The project site is surrounded by a variety of uses. To the north and northeast,the area is suburban residential in character with low density residential development on parcels of approximately one-half to 2.5 acres in size. There is also a small agricultural field located to the northeast. To the south across East Eaton Road,are commercial uses,and to the west across Hicks Lane,is an industrial use. Also to the west is State Highway 99. The Chico Municipal Airport is located approximately nine-tenths of a mile to the northeast. N. Proiect Description: The project applicant is applying for a change in the General Plan designation and zoning of the property(1.4 acres in size). The current zoning on the property is Heavy Commercial(C-2)and the current General Plan designation is Commercial. The proposed zoning is Public, Quasi and the proposed General Plan designation is Public. These changes are being requested to accommodate development of Butte County Fire Station#42 facility,which is currently located on Cohasset Road. This Fire Station is to be staffed with 3 to 5 full time onsite firefighters and volunteer firefighters. For the purposes of this environmental review,the impacts of the Fire Station facility for which this General Plan Amendment and Rezoning is necessary are reviewed using existing conditions as the basis for comparison. Environmental impacts of the change in zoning and General Plan designation are also assessed in the Land Use section of this Initial Study. Since the Rezone and General Plan Amendment requests are ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 1 ■ Project: Butte County,File#Ur.wt2Z 03-01 tied to a specific project for which a site plan and other development application material shall be prepared, the Initial Study focuses on the Fire Station use and associated impacts. Therefore,if the Rezoning and General Plan Amendment is approved,the approval is conditioned on the environmental review contained in this document,which applies to the relocation and development of Fire Station#42 as described in this document and the development application material. O. Public Mencv Approvals: Butte County Environmental Health Department,Butte County Public Works Department,Butte County Development Services Director,Agricultural Commission,City of Chico,Airport Land Use Commission,Air Quality Management District,California Department of Forestry,Department of Fish and Game,and LAFCo. 2.0 DETERARNATION [X] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ) I find that although the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, there will NOT be a significant effect in this case because revisions have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or"potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,nothing further is required.

Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a"Potentially Significant Impact"as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. [ ] 4.1 Aesthetics [ ] 4.2 Agriculture Resources [ .] 4.3 Air Quality [ ] 4.4 Biological Resources [ ] 4.5 Cultural Resources [ ] 4.6 Geologic Processes [ ] 4.7 Hazards/Hazardous Material [ ] 4.8 Hydrology/Water Quality [ ] 4.9 Land Use [ ] 4.10 Mineral Resources [ ]4.11 Noise [ ] 4.12 Housing [ ] 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. 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 pag-.s where the statement is substantiated. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Flanning Division■ Page 3 ■ Project: Butte County,File#GrA/RZ 03-01 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 AESTHETICVISUAL RESOURCES: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X b. Substantially damage scenic resources,including,but not X limited to,trees,rock outcroppings,and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? X d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the X area? Impact Discussion: The project would result in the potential removal of five existing structures, which were used for boat repair and sales, and replaced by a fire station. Current on-site buildings may be kept and modified to handle the proposed use. The project site is located in an urban area and would not have an impact on a scenic vista or substantially damage any scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The proposal, which is relocating an existing fire station from Cohasset Road,shall be developed with an approximate 10,000 square foot structure that will house the fire equipment. Additional structures may be placed on site for office use. The project site will not create any new substantial light or glare to the area. No apparent conflict with the established character or functioning of the surrounding community is anticipated. Mitigation Measure: None required ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 4 ■ Project: Butte County,File#Ura/RZ 03-01 4.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland,or Farmland of Statewide Importance(Farmland),as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and X Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use,or a X Williamson Act Contract? c. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature,could result in conversion X of Farmland,to non-agricultural use? Impact Discussion: The project site which is located in the Chico Urban Area will not convert any existing farmland to a nonagricultural use. The project site is located in an area that is designated for commerical uses, not intense agricultural uses. There is no Williamson Act contract existing on this property. There is no impact to agricultural resources as a result of this General Plan Amendment/Rezone. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.3 AIR QUALITY: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable X air qualityplan? b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially X to an existing or projected air quality violation? c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air X quality standard(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant X concentrations? e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number X of people? ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 5 ■ Project: Butte County,File#l,rruRZ 03-01 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. The project is located within the Sacramento Valley Air District. According to the Butte County Air Quality Management District(BCAQMD),Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" non-attainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. Fugitive dust emissions may occur during development activities on the site, such as removal of existing structures, excavation for building foundations, which may create a temporary nuisance to persons residing or working near the project site if measures are not taken to reduce the emissions. These types of violations are investigated by the Air Quality Management District(AQMD). AQMD would investigate any complaints and ensure that measures are taken to address any substantiated nuisance conditions. Vehicle traffic generated by the project site would not result in a cumulative impact on air quality due to this being a relocated fire station, rather than an additional station. There would not be a net increase of any criteria pollutant or additional exposure to sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations since no new facilities are being added only an existing one is being relocated. The proposed will not generate objectionable odors that would affect a substantial number of people. Potential odors from the site could be from diesel and gasoline being on the property,but they would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Have a substantial adverse effect,either directly or through habitat modifications,on any species identified as a candidate,sensitive,or special status species in local or X regional plans,policies,or regulations,or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service? b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans,policies, and regulations or by the X California Department of Fish and Game or U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service? c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 or the Clean Water Act (including,but not limited to,marsh,vernal pool,coastal, X etc.)through direct removal,filling,hydrological interruption,or other means)? d.

Impact Discussion: Vegetation consists of non-native trees and grass. No riparian vegetation is located on the site and the site does not contain any wetlands or drainages. The project is not in an area that is known to support threatened, rare, or endangered plant or animal species (Butte County Master Environmental Assessment, Figure BIO-2). Animals that may be found on the project site include typical animals that have adapted to urban/rural interface including rabbits, squirrels, skunk, raccoons, opossum, and various species of birds. Based on information provided in the Butte County General Plan and Master Environmental Assessment, it is not likely that rare or endangered animal species would be found on the project site. Construction activities and the future use on the project site would cause some of the animals currently utilizing the project site to move to new areas. This is not expected to be significant because the project site with sparse vegetation and lack of surface water would not support a large number of animals and the animals typically found in this type of residential agricultural setting are not rare or endangered. This project would not have a significant impact to fish or wildlife habitat and the collection of Department of Fish and Game fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3)and 14 CCR 753.5 are not required. The project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. The proposal would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan,or other approved local,regional,or state habitat conservation plan.

Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of X a historical resource as defined in§15064.5? b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an X archaeological resource pursuant to§15064.5? c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological X resource or site or unique geologic feature? d. Disturb any human remains,including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? X Impact Discussion: The project is located in an area that has a low potential for historical or cultural resources according,to archaeological resource mapping on file with the Butte County Planning Division. Archaeological sites are often found in foothill areas, areas with high bluffs,rock outcroppings, areas overlooking deer migratory corridors, or above bodies of water. The site does not contain any of these physical characteristics or any known historical buildings. No impacts are expected to occur to any historical or cultural resources as a result of project approval. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.6 GEOLOGIC PROCESSES: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,including the risk of loss,injury,or death involving: 1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault,as delineated X on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. 2. Strong seismic ground shaking? X 3. Seismic-related ground failure, including X liquefaction? 4. Landslides? X b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X c. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable,or that would become unstable as a result of the project,and X potentially result in on-or off-site landslide,lateral spreading,subsidence,liquefaction or collapse? ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 8 ■ Project: Butte County,File#%,rivRZ 03-01 Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated d. Be located on expansive soil,as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code(1994),creating substantial X risks to life or property? e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal system X where sewers are not available for the disposal or waste water? Impact Discussion: The Seismic Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone or an after shock epicenter region. The nearest active fault,the Cleveland Hill fault,is located approximately 2.3 miles to the east of the site. There is also the Big Bend Fault, a fault with unknown activity, located approximately 1.9 miles east of the site. The Willow Fault is located 2.5 miles southwest of the site. The intensity of ground shaking at any specific site depends on the characteristics of the earthquake, the distance from the earthquake, and on the local geologic soils and conditions. At present, there is insufficient data to predict accurately the expected ground motions at various locations in Butte County. However, strong seismic ground shaking is closely related to the proximity of active fault lines. With the site being approximately 2.3 miles from the only known active fault in the County, ground shaking and resultant building damage would not be a significant concern because the Uniform Building Code contains standards to address this seismic potential Seismic risk is'not limited to faults which have been currently identified. Some earthquakes originate from unknown sources sometimes characterized as "background seismicity" or "floating earthquakes". The Butte County Master Environmental Assessment indicates that it is reasonable to assume that background seismicity could produce earthquakes as large as Richter magnitude (modified Mercalli intensity scale) 6.5 virtually anywhere in Butte County. There is no current evidence that an earthquake larger than magnitude 6.5 would occur at this location. Earthquakes at this magnitude are generally felt by all persons,but damage is generally slight to minor,with fallen chimneys and cracked plaster the most prominent damage. Richter magnitude 6.5 is not subjectively characterized on the intensity scale, but a magnitude 7 is generally characterized by negligible damage, especially in buildings of good design and construction. Considerable damage can occur in poorly built or badly designed structures. However, the impact would be less than significant due to compliance with the Uniform Building Code. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Liquefaction Potential Map indicates that the site has a generally moderate 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 low to none potential for landslides in this area. The Erosion Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that the soil erosion potential for the project site is none. The site,which is relatively flat,is not subject to significant erosion. The Expansive Potential Map of the Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that the soil expansive potential for the project site is moderate. The Butte County Environmental Health Department does not object to the use of septic systems on the property. Septic systems installed on the site are required to comply with the County Improvement Standards. No impact is anticipated.

Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites complied pursuant to Government Code X Section 65962.5 and,as a result,would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,within two miles of a public airport or public use airport,would the project X result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? L For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip,would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or X working in the project area? g Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation X plan? h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wildland fires,including where X wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Impact Discussion: The project site is not located on or near any sources of hazardous materials and would not create any hazardous materials. No impact is anticipated. The project site would have small quantities of diesel and gasoline fuels. There is no anticipated significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable accidents involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. The project site is not located with one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school site. The closest school site is approximately six-tenths of a mile to the northwest. The project site is located with an airport land use plan. The project site is located in the Traffic Pattern Compatibility Zone"C-2"—Traffic Pattern Zone. The compatible non-residential uses in the C-2 compatibility are limited based on the concentration of people expected on the site. The concentration of 100 people per acre or less is generally compatible. The site is proposing a staff of three to five firepersons on any given shift. ■ .Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 10 ■ Project: Butte County,File#G._..Z 03-01 The site or structures are not at significant risk or loss to wildland fires due to the project site being in the Chico Urban Area. Mitigation Measure : None required 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge X requirements? b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level(e.g.,the production rate of X preexisting nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,including through the alteration of the course of a X stream or river,in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site? d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river,or substantially increase the rate or amount X of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on-or off-site? e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage X systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? X g. Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood X Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? h. Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures which X would impede or redirect flood flows? i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury,or death involving flooding,including flooding as a X result of the failure of a levee or dam? j. Inundation by seiche,tsunami,or mudflow? X Impact Discussion: All wastewater generated by the future structures on the site would be handled by individual, on-site septic systems. The Butte County Environmental Health Division does not object to the use of septic systems on the site. Septic systems placed on the site must meet the requirements of the Butte County Environmental Health Division and Chapter 20, entitled "Subdivision Ordinance," of the Butte County Code. Less than significant impacts to surface water or ground water are anticipated from the proposed use of septic systems on the site. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 11 ■ Project: Butte County,File#-„„,RZ 03-01 The proposed use would not result in the creation of new impervious surfaces. No increase in surface water runoff is expected due to any additional impervious surfaces being proposed. Future development of the parcel shall be performed in a manner that will not create adverse drainage conditions. The proposed use shall be served by public water and will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. The property is not located within a flood zone or prone to seiche,tsunami, or mudflow. No impact would occur with respect to these natural hazards. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.9 LAND USE: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Physically divide an established community? X b. Conflict with an applicable land use plan,policy,or regulations of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including,but not limited to,the general plan,specific plan, X local coastal program,or zoning ordinance)adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or X natural community conservation plan? Impact Discussion: The proposal is for a General Plan Amendment and Rezone to convert the site from a current commercial boatyard to a fire station. The proposed use would not physically divide of an established community. The surround area is a mixture of residential,commercial and industrial. The proposed General Plan Designation for the site, Public (P), allows as a primary use a fire station. The proposed use will not conflict with any plan,regulation,policy or ordinance adopted by the County for purposes of protecting or avoiding impacting the environment. The property is not within a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. No impact would occur. Mitigation Measure: None required ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 12 ■ Project: Butte County,File#G.—.:Z03-01 4.10 MINERAL RESOURCES: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the X residents of the state? b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general X plan,specific plan,or other land useplan? Impact Discussion: The proposed project would not use or extract any mineral or energy resources and would not restrict access to known mineral resource areas. The project is located within an area where there are no known mineral resources. Therefore, the project would have no impact on mineral resources. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.11 NOISE: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or X noise ordinance,or applicable standards of other agencies? b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground X borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? c: A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the X project? d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing X without theproject? e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,within two miles of a public airport or public use airport,would the project X expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in X the project area to excessive noise levels? Impact Discussion: The project site is subject to periodic noise generated by the sirens of the fire engines and the engines themselves. The Butte County Noise Element states the noise environment of a community has a base of steady background noise made up ■ Butte County Department of Development Services■Planning Division■ Page 13 ■ Project: Butte County,File#l.._..._tZ 03-01 of many sources. The noise of individual events, such as a fire engine siren, is superimposed on this background. Butte County Noise Element determines that noise levels up to 60 dB CNEL are normally acceptable for residential areas. The noise element also states that Ldn or CNEL are descriptions of diurnal in noise levels. They are a weighted average of daytime and nighttime sound levels, with the nighttime noise being weighted more heavily. While the use has the potential to create noise levels of a short duration that exceed both the day and night(50 db CNEL)acceptable level,over the 24-hour time period for measuring the noise level,the use will meet the acceptable level. The Uses associated with this project would not create a significant increase in ambient noise levels within or in proximity to the project site. Construction activities on the site would temporarily generate high noise levels on and adjacent to the project site intermittently during project development activities, especially during grading activities. This construction noise would not have a significant impact on nearby residents because the noise would be intermittent and short-term in nature. Very little grading would be necessary due to the level topography of the site. No significant impact is anticipated. The project site, while within the Chico Airport Land Use Plan Traffic Compatibility Zone "C-2", will not expose people working on the site to excessive noise levels. The project is not located in the vicinity of an airstrip or within an airport land use plan. No impact would occur. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.12 HOUSING: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Induce substantial population growth in an area,either directly(for example,by proposing new homes and businesses)or indirectly(for example,through extension of X roads or other infrastructure? b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing X elsewhere? c. Displace substantial numbers of people,necessitating the X construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Impact Discussion: The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone to allow the relocation of a Fire Station will not result in or induce any substantial population growth in the area. It would not result in any extension of roads or other infrastructure. The project would not eliminate any existing housing. Hicks Lane, which is adjacent to the site, is proposed for realignment. The realignment would displace a potential of seven homes. The project would not displace individuals or housing. No impact would occur. Mitigation Measure: None required. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 14 ■ Project: Butte County,File#G.—Z 03-01 4.13 PUBLIC SERVICES: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities,need for new or physically altered governmental facilities,the construction of which X could cause significant environmental impacts,in order to maintain acceptable service ratios,response times,or other performance objectives for any of the public services? b. Fireprotection? X c. Police Protection? X d. Schools? X e. Parks? X f. Other public services? X Impact Discussion: The proposed use of the property is a fire station that will be relocated from Cohasset Road (approximately 1.75 miles). The relocation of the fire station shall provide improved fire protection services to the north Chico area due to a more central location and the proximity to Highway 99. The relocation of Fire Station No. 42 will not cause any significant environmental impacts,in order to maintain response times. The proposal, which is a relocation of an existing fire station, would not result in an incremental increase in demand for police protection services. The project would not result in any incremental demand for school facilities in the area. The project would not result in the development of any residential dwellings and therefore would not create any impacts to the Chico Recreation and Park District. A less than significant impact is anticipated to other public services. Mitieation Measure: None required ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 15 ■ Project: Butte County,File#——RZ 03-01 4.14 RECREATION: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial X physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b. Include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an X adverse physical effect on the environment? Impact Discussion: No recreational facilities are proposed under this proposal. Since the project is seeking to change the land use from commercial to public/quasi-public,the project would not increase the use of,or demand for,parks of any type. The project will not impact or increase demand for recreational facilities, since demand is a function of numbers of residents and the proposal is not requesting any housing. There is no impact. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.15 TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e.,result in a substantial increase in either the number of X vehicle trips,the volume to capacity ratio on roads,or congestion at intersections)? b. Exceed,either individually or cumulatively,a level of service standard established by the county congestion X management agency for designated roads or highways? c. Result in a change in air traffic patterns,including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results X in substantial safety risks? d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections)or incompatible X uses(e.g.,farm equipment)? e. Result in inadequate emergency access? X f.

Conflict with accepted policies,plans or programs supporting alternative transportation(e.g.,bus turnouts, X bicycle racks)? ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 16■ Project: Butte County,File#�,r,wRZ 03-01 Impact Discussion: The propose project will not cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections). Based on the latest traffic studies by Butte County Association of Governments(BCAG)on January 29,2001,the three day average on Eaton Avenue east of Highway 99 is 9,979,which is a Level of Service"B",which is an acceptable. The proposed use is a relocation of an existing fire station located on Cohasset Road, just south of Eaton, approximately 1.9 miles away. There is no set formula to determine the number of vehicle trips/day for a fire station, the amount of trips will be determined by the number of staff on duty and the average number of emergency call per day. Butte County Code Section 24-240 (b) requires at least one (1) space for each three (3) employees on the maximum shift,plus one(1)for each vehicle permanently assigned to the facility. The proposed parcel does have adequate room to provide the required parking spaces and therefore, the project presents no impact relative to insufficient parking capacity. The proposed use will not result in a change in air traffic patterns due to increase traffic levels or change in location that would increase substantial safety risks. The site is within the Chico Airport Compatibility Zone C-2,but was determined by the Airport Land Use Commission(ALUC)that the project is consistent with the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan and would not cause any safety issues. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.16 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a.

L Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity X to accommodate the roject's solid waste disposal needs? g. Comply with federal,state,and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 17 ■ Project: Butte County,File#(,rrvitZ 03-01 Impact Discussion: Sewage disposal for new dwellings on the project site would be handled by individual on-site septic systems. The Butte County Division of Environmental Health has reviewed the project and does not have a concern over sewage disposal capacity or the ability of the project to meet County sewage disposal standards. The project would not have a significant impact on any wastewater treatment facilities. Domestic water supply for fire station would be obtained from public water. No additional storm water facilities would be necessary as a result of this project due to the project not adding any additional impervious surfaces. The project would not increase the stream of waste being deposited in the Neal Road Landfill due to the fact that the proposed use is being relocated and is not a new use. 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 not have a significant impact on solid waste disposal. No impact would occur with respect to federal,state,and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Mitigation Measure: None required 4.17 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Section 15065): Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment,substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a X plant or animal community,reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b. Have impacts that are individually limited,but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"means that the incremental effects of a X project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,the effects of other current projects and the effects of probable future projects)? c. Does the project have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,either X directly or indirectly? Impact Discussion: The project does not have the potential to contribute significant individual or cumulative impacts with respect to the environment. There are no anticipated substantial adverse effects on human beings in close proximity or the general area. Overall the project will generate less than significant impacts,so no mitigation measures are proposed. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■Planning Division■ Page 18 ■ i Project: Butte County,File#u, ,vaZ 03-01 5.0 MITIGATION MEASURES AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS: No Mitigation Measures proposed.

Eidsting Zone:C-2(General Commercial) N Supervisorial Request: General Plan Amendment from Commercial to Public and Rezone from District#3 C-2(General Commercial)to P-Q(Public,Quasi-Public). Assessor Parcel No: 007-240-078 Me: GP� N Michelena, Mark Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2003 11:58 AM To: Michelena, Mark; Christopher, Yvonne; Baker, Joseph; Breedon, Dan Subject: Dev Ser GPA/REZ for Fire Station Hi Mark, Yvonne, Joe, and Dan, After reviewing this report, I have a lot of questions. We are not compelled to do the GPA/REZ, but we choose to do it. have no problem with that. But in doing so,we want to limit our future use of the property and do so by means of an agreement with ourselves. Someone needs to thoroughly evaluate this approach. (Eliminated the requirement of only a fire station can be placed on the site) In addition, the agreement is between the County and Public Works. What does Public Works have to do with the Fire Station? (According to the application, Public Works is the owner of the property) Supposedly the purpose of the conditional zoning agreement is to limit the use of the property to a Fire Station, but it does not do so. It does not limit the use of the property at all. It only makes specific demands unrelated to any particular use. (The requirement of a particuliar use has been removed) ,,basks for a no access strip on Eaton, although this may be one of the access points to the property. 1AAfls`� It asks for a masonry wall around garbage receptacles. It asks for landscaping around the perimeter. It says nothing about restricting use or not allowing the property to be divided further. am not sure why we would want to do so anyway. The packet does not have the draft zoning ordinance that the conditional zoning agreement would be attached to. It does not have the resolution by which the Board would adopt the general plan amendment. f These are the big picture items. I also have some comments on lesser items. On page 1, you state access to the property may be on Eaton Road. Why are we restricting this access in the conditional zoning agreement?C; twV Under analysis on page 2, you talk about restrictions on use. I could not find any restrictions on use in the findings or conditional zoning agreement. ..� page 4 under#2 you state that there is no guarantee this relocation will be of a permanent nature. .-VVhat does this imply? Is your discussion of air quality on page 4 based on a wide area or specific to this new location? ,,\I lJ,►�der storm drainage on page 6,you should mention NPDES and the requirement of BMPs for disturbance of -over 1 acre. Your discussion of the intersection, in the third paragraph of page 7, is out of date. There are now stop signs on Eaton. This is contributing to increased traffic backup. The Board has been made aware of this matter in another application, Byrne. You should coordinate your traffic analysis with Dan on these matters. ***In action III, you mention the Ordinance, but it is not included.*** ***The general plan amendment resolution is also-not included.*** I don't understand the purpose or importance of the three conditions being imposed on ourselves. Under III(C)coordinate with Dan on impact to vehicle circulation at the Eaton Hicks intersection. What do you mean by III(D)? Under III(E), you should include meeting the general plan criteria and zoning factors as you discussed in your report. I really question the use of a conditional zoning agreement. Are we going to enforce it against ourselves? Do we need an agreement to get the three things set forth in it? Why is it being made with Public Works? The conditions are more like things you would impose under a use permit. We should discuss what to do. In the initial study on page 1, you mention the limited environmental analysis based on the assumption of the use being limited. However, the use is not being limited. 1 Under Air Quality, you note impacts in .,,—second paragraph on page 6 that would icau to our imposing mitigations in most other instances. Here,we do not. Why not? Your analysis of vehicle impacts in paragraph 3 on page 6 might vary depending on whether it was over a wide area or specific to the new location. Especially when added to existing vehicle traffic at the new location. Well, I have said a lot. Let me know if you have any questions.

The current zoning on the property is Heavy Commercial (C-2) and the current General Plan designation is Commercial. The proposed zoning is Public, Quasi-Public and the proposed Ganeral Plan designation is Public. These changes are being requested to accommodate development of Butte County Fire Station #42 facility, which is currently located on Cohasset Road. This Fire Station is to be staffed with 3 to 5 full time onsite firefighters and volunteer firefighters. For the purposes of this environmental review, the impacts of the Fire Station facility for which this General Plan Amendment and Rezoning is necessary are r--viewed using existing conditions as the basis for comparison. Environmental impacts of the change in zoning and General Plan designation are also assessed in the Land Use section of this Initial Study. Since the Rezone and General Plan Amendment requests are tied to a specific project for which a site plan and other development application material shall be prepared, the Initial Study focuses on the Fire Station use and associated impacts. Therefore, if the Rezoning and General Plan Amendment is approved, the approval is conditioned on the environmental review contained in this document, which applies to the relocation and development of Fire Station #42 as described in this document and the development application material. APN 007-240-078 (MM) (GPA/RZ 03-01) The initial study for the project identifies potentially significant effects, but revisions in the project plans or proposals made by or agreed to by the applicant would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur. Therefore, tl Planning Division staff is recommending a Negative Declaration. The Initial Study and Proposed Negative Declaration for this project are on file for public review starting, April 3, 2003, through April 23, 2003, at the Butte County Planning Division, 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, California. 'All interested persons are invited to review the document. Written comments will be accepted by the Planning Division at the above address. If you challenge either the Negative Declaration or the Use Permit in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Division at, or prior to, the public hearing.

TO: Honorable Chair and Airport Land Use Commission FROM: Craig Sanders ALUC Staff DATE: January 3, 2003 ITEM: ALUC File No.A02-12 Butte County Department of Development Services,APN 007-240-078: A consistency review for a proposed General Plan Amendment from Commercial to Public and a Rezone from C-221 (General Commercial) to PQ (Public/Quasi-Public) on 1.62 acres located at the northeast corner of Hicks Lane and Eaton Avenue, Chico. The property is proposed to be developed with a County Fire Station. FOR: Airport Land Use Commission Meeting on January 17, 2003 SUMMARY: Staff recommends that ALUC find the project consistent with the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Chico Municipal Airport. BACKGROUND: The property is within the unincorporated area around Chico and is within the North Chico Specific Plan area. The current General Plan land use designation is Commercial and the zoning is C-2 (General Commercial). The site is currently developed with several storage buildings and was historically used as a boat repair and sales operation. The C-2 zone allows for a wide variety of commercial uses including offices, restaurants, churches, motels, and retail services. The site is located approximately 7,000 feet westerly and perpendicular to the south end of runway 13L-31R and approximately 7,700 feet from the south end of runway 13R-31L of the Chico Municipal Airport. The Butte County Fire Department has submitted this General Plan and Rezone application to the Department of Development Services with the intent of developing the site with a new County Fire Station. ANALYSIS: According to the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the Chico Municipal Airport, the property is located in a Traffic Pattern Compatibility'Zone "C-2" - Traffic Pattern Zone. Compatible non-residential uses in the C-2 compatibility are limited based on the concentration of people expected on the site. Concentrations of 100 people per acre or less are generally compatible. Incompatible uses regardless of the concentration threshold include Children's schools, libraries, daycare facilities, nursing homes, hospitals and convalescent hospitals. The proposed PQ zoning would allow the development of public schools, public libraries, and public hospitals, which would be conflict with the airport compatibility zone. In this particular instance the County plans to develop a fire station on the site. The station would house up to 5 employees on the i8utte County Wirport Land Use Commission o per acre maximum called out in the C-2 Compatibility Zone. The change in land use and zoning along with the proposed development would, therefore be consistent with the 2000 ALUCP provided the site is developed as proposed. No height limitations are expected to be exceeded by a fire station and outdoor lighting should not interfere with airport operations. The radio frequencies used by emergency response personnel do not conflict with airport frequencies. Compatibility Zone"C" normally calls for a disclosure notice regarding airport noise, annoyance, and discomfort. This generally pertains to residential uses and would not be required in this case. Environmental Documentation: No environmental documentation has been completed for this project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission find ALUC File No. A02-12 (Butte County Department of Development Services) consistent with the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Chico Municipal Airport.

APN 007-240-078 The Airport Land Use Commission has prepared the following findings based on data contained in the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan(ALUCP) for the Chico Municipal Airport, as well as site specific information submitted by the applicant and the ALUC staff. The following findings have been prepared at the direction of the ALUC and are for the consideration of the Lead Agency (City of Chico)when making a decision on the project. SECTION 1: ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS A. No environmental documentation was submitted at the time of project review. SECTION 2: CONSISTENCY FINDINGS FOR PROPOSED PROJECT A. The proposal to amend the General Plan from Commercial to Public and a Rezone from C-2 (General Commercial) to PQ (Public/Quasi-Public) on 1.62 acres is compatible with the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Chico Municipal Airport SECTION 3: PROJECT FINDINGS: A. The project site is located in Airport Compatibility Zone "C-2" as listed in the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the Chico Municipal Airport. B. The resulting intensity of use will be approximately 3 people per acre which is consistent with the recommended allowable intensity of 100 people per acre for Compatibility Zone "C." SECTION 4: PROJECT CONDITIONS: 1. The proposed PQ zoning allows uses that would not be compatible with airport operations, specifically a children's school, library, or hospital. A method for preventing these uses from being established in the future should be incorporated into approval for this project. i8utte County/Airport Land Use Commission 3 EXHIBIT B List of References Data supporting the ALUC's findings have been generated from studies and reports prepared by recognized professionals and agencies with expertise in Airport Land Use Planning and land use compatibility.
