The project site is located in Supervisorial District 1. RELATED ITEMS: None FOR: Planning Commission Meeting of November 13, 1997 SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of this application subject to the findings and conditions contained herein. APPLICABLE BUTTE COUNTY REGULATIONS: This use permit application is submitted pursuant to Butte County Code Sections: 24-45 (Use Permits) which requires that an application be submitted and a public hearing be held by the Planning Commission. The Commission may grant a Use Permit when it finds that the proposed use of the property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies and that the use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties or detrimental to the health or general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, or to the general health, safety and welfare of the residents of the County; and 24-95.C.3 (AR Zoning) which states that quasi-public uses require a conditional Use Permit in the AR zone; and 24-305.450 - Definition of a Quasi-Public Use: A use operated by a private non- profit...association or organization, said use having the purpose primarily of serving the general public, and including but not limited to such uses as.churches, private school...community youth and senior citizen recreational facilities... ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 1 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS: This project is a Use Permit request for a quasi-public use to allow a mini-ranch to provide recreational and learning facilities for challenged, abused, and traumatized children. The project site is 5.96 acres in size, and is zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential). The Land Use Element Map of the Butte County General Plan designates the project site as Agricultural Residential. The Agricultural Residential Zoning Ordinance requires that a conditional Use Permit be obtained for quasi-public uses. The project site is developed with a dwelling unit, garage, and a small horse corral. One horse is currently kept in the corral. Domestic water service for the project site is supplied by a public water system. Sewage disposal is handled by an on-site'septic system. Most of the project site is open grass land, with scattered oak and willow trees. Extensive amounts of brush and trees are found along a seasonal creek on the east property line. The parcel fronts on Palermo Drive, Plumas Drive, and Pinenut Way, with the primary access being off of Palermo Drive. Surrounding parcels are zoned AR-1, and range in size from 1 to 10 acres. Land use on.the surrounding parcels is rural residential. The proposed use will be a mini-ranch to provide recreational and learning facilities for challenged, abused, and traumatized children. The applicant operates the Miracles Rein Ranch, which is an IRS-certified non-profit organization. Children will come to the ranch to ride horses and participate in various types of arts and crafts classes. The children will only come for the day, and no overnight stays are proposed. There will be a petting zoo to give the children an opportunity to interact with small animals, such as goats, pot belly pigs, and rabbits. The applicant intends to have approximately four to eight horses on the property. The applicant will do most of the work on the ranch herself, but there may be one part-time employee to help care for the horses. Several buildings will be constructed for this project. The largest structure will be a 3,000 to 4,000 sq. ft. barn and craft center. Attached to that structure will be an open, but covered petting zoo. The existing corral is proposed to be enlarged and a riding arena will be constructed. Restrooms will be placed in the barn/craft center structure, and another restroom is proposed to placed near the riding arena. ANALYSIS: The proposed use will change the land use from its current residential use to that of a small ranch that will be open to challenged, abused, and traumatized children. The change in land use will not be significant and will not have a significant impact to the neighborhood because the operating characteristics of the proposed use will have a minimal impact on the neighborhood. Under the current zoning of AR-1, and because the parcel is more than five acres in size, the applicant could place numerous horses on the parcel without the need for a Use Permit. In addition, the applicant is also entitled to have other types of farm animals, such as cows and pigs, on the property without the need for a Use Permit. Noises and odors from the horses and ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 2 • other farm animals on the project site may impact the people living on the adjoining parcels. However, the AR-1 zoning allows horses and other animals on the project site without the need of a Use Permit. There are provisions in the Butte County Zoning Ordinance that allows the County to take abatement actions should noises or odors from the animals on the project site become a nuisance to nearby residents. In order to reduce odors, a mitigation of this project requires the applicant to dispose of animal waste so as not to cause excessive odors or pollute water runoff in accordance with Environmental Health Division requirements. The proposed use will allow the applicant to have children come to the property and participate in various types of activities on a regular basis. The ranch will be open to the children 3 to 4 days a week. Approximately two to three children and their families will come to the ranch on those days. No overnight stays are proposed. The applicant intends to only operate during daylight hours. There may be two to three special events each year at which 20 to 30 children and their families will attend. The increase in vehicle traffic generated by these visits will not have a significant impact on vehicle operations in the project area. Only two to three children, and their families, will visit the ranch each day. This will mean an increase of approximately four to six vehicle trips, three to four days a week. The two to three special events that may be held each year on the project site may generate approximately 40 to 60 vehicle trips for each special event. These 40 to 60 vehicle trips will not cause a significant impact to vehicle operations in the project area, although they may result in short-term impacts. Noises from activities on the project site may impact nearby residents. Most outside activities will consist of horse riding on the project site, mostly in the riding arena. No outside playing areas, such as a playground or a ball field, are proposed. No nighttime activities are proposed by the applicant, and a mitigation of this project prohibits activities associated with the proposed use from occurring from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. During special events, which will occur two or three times per year, there will be additional noises which may cause an impact to nearby residents. These noises, which will consist of children playing and vehicle noises, will only last during daylight hours, will be intermittent, and should not cause a significant impact to nearby residents. According to the..Butte County General Plan Noise Element, acceptable noise levels in a residential area are 50 to 70 dB CNEL. It is expected that the proposed use will not generate noise levels that exceed the acceptable noise levels. The Butte County Fire Department commented on this project and is requesting that building identification and/or addresses be installed and maintained in conformance with Public Resources Code 4290. Construction, installation or development of structures or facilities on the project site shall comply with the latest California Fire Safe Regulations, (Public Resources Code 4290), and all other applicable State and County codes, ordinances and regulations in effect at the time of application for improvement permits. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 3 The Butte County Department of Public Works is requesting that encroachment permits be obtained for all new or existing driveway approaches and constructed to County Improvement Standard. The Department of Public Works is also requesting that a plan for a permanent solution for drainage on the project site be approved prior to issuance of building permits. These have been added as conditions of approval. Restrooms are proposed to be placed in the barn/craft center and another restroom near the proposed riding arena. This may require the installation of a new septic system on the project site. The Butte County Environmental Health Division commented that a new sewage disposal system will have to be installed under permit from their Division. This has been added as a condition of approval. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: This application has been defined as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and as such, is subject to the requirements of CEQA. An Initial Study has been prepared by County staff. Based upon a review of the Initial Study, staff has determined that the project impacts can be fully mitigated with the addition of mitigation measures added as conditions of approval for the project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that a Use Permit be granted to Lisa Kay Ziel for a mini-ranch to serve challenged, abused, and traumatized children on APN 068-130-060 subject to the findings and conditions contained in Exhibit "A," attached. This recommendation is based on the project's ability to meet minimum County and State requirements. These standards demonstrate basic compatibility.

From this Aerie's dedicated support it has grown to state wide support by this community service organization. LAND USE PROPOSAL As Miracles Rein is a non-profit organization our plan is build a mini-ranch here at 15 Palermo Drive in Oroville in the County of Butte, State of California. This ranch will serve the challenged, abused and traumatized children of Butte County, those in this segment of our society who are so often ostracized and ridiculed. Often passed by because they are judged not normal and unable to function in our society, somehow not deserving or being able to appreciate "normal" society. This will be a unique environment where all children with challenges (physical, mental or emotional) can be accepted with no expectations placed upon them to "perform" and no judgements made of their abilities, their families or their friends. A place where love is given unconditionally. We plan on. an riding arena and having horses for the children that are able to .sit astride to ride and a pony cart for those that cannot. There are plans also for a small petting zoo for those children that do not wish, for whatever reason, to ride. We plan an accessible area where the children can participate in "classes" in art and dancing and their efforts can be displayed as they wish. The environment will not only be recreational but educational too. Natural therapeutics will occur without formal therapy. These will be physical, by riding and or moving about, mental and emotionally by being accepted as a person is without expectations. This creates a social enhancement for all as individuals. We believe that the community and this county will benefit from this project and we respectfully submit this use plan to your board for your acceptance and approval. Sincerely, Lisa Kay Ziel Director of Miracles Rein Ranch planning Division pf/}/,wo uc,r•, � 15 Palermo Drive, 4U6 1 81997 s_ Oroville, CA 95966 / oroole,California Notes on the proposed improvements .on this parcel of land Current conditions 1. Seasonal creek area has overgrowth, blackberries willows -and some poison oak. 2. Fields have. excessive growth of weeds and wild grasses. . 3. The trees have not been pruned or cut back in many years. 4. The property in not now fully fenced. 5. Driveway was graded. and graveled many years ago and remains in good condition. Proposed land improvements a. Poison oak will be removed. b. Blackberries will be brought under control. c. Willows will remain .except when diseased then they will be removed. d. Trees will be trimmed and growth brought under control. e.. Diseased trees will be removed. f. Fencing will be placed surrounding the property. g. The weeds and grasses will be removed or plowed under as needed for fire control however the rest will remain as natural as possible so that the natural runoff of the rainwaters will continue as it should. Drainage will not be effected. h. Extra graveled parking area to put in place. This will not need paving as it will only be used occasionally. i. Out buildings to be placed will be structurally compatible with the surrounding area homes and buildings. Environmental Impact of above improvements There will be negligible impact on the environment due to these improvements. Indeed the impact will be of .a positive nature inasmuch as the fire danger will be decreased by the removal of the dead or diseased trees and the dry grasses and weeds. It will also enhance the appearance of the property. The cleaning and clearing of the seasonal creek will allow for the natural flow of the water as is comes down the channel and provide a place for small animals to drink during the time it is flowing. The natural runoff of the water will continue as it has in the past. g Traffic will be minimal as there.will seldom be more that a few families at one time coming to the ranch. It is believed that surrounding properties value. will rise due to the land use and structural improvements as proposed. Lisa Kay Ziel - proposed Negative Declaration with mitigation measures regarding environmental impacts and Use Permit to allow a quasi-public use for a mini-ranch to serve challenged, abused, and traumatized children on property zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential) located on the northwest corner of Palermo Drive and Plumas Drive, at 15 Palermo Drive, identified as APN 068- 130-060, Oroville. (SB) (UP98-03) (VIDEO) A video of the site was shown. Mr. Betts gave a brief summary of the project. It was noted that many letters and petitions have been received in opposition to this project. There are a couple of letters in favor of the project. Mr. Betts said there has been concern expressed about Ms. Ziel's non-profit status and a disputed easement on the south property line. He said the permit could be conditioned to not allow any structures within the alleged 18 ft. easement. Mr. Betts said parking is set aside next to the access road. In answer to a concern voiced by Commissioner Cage, Mr. Betts said there are fire hydrants in the area. The hearing was opened to the public. Lisa Ziel said she is the Director of a non-profit organization and has not received her federal number yet. She said she wants to create an atmosphere of safety for the children. This request is to allow therapeutic riding, with a petting zoo (3-4 animals) and a craft center. She said it is her intention to fence the property. She said she is looking at 4 horses. She said there is no right-of-way on her deed for the south property line. She said she has read the petitions and letters opposed to the project and does not agree with their assessment. She stated she has been verbally attacked personally by the neighbors and would like it to stop. She said some of the letters are alarming to her. She said one letter was threatening. She admitted it was a mistake to not invite the neighbors over to discuss this proposal. She said she was concerned with more abuse by neighbors if this permit is approved. She said this is not a care home, but a recreational facility. Commissioner Leland said the Commission should focus on what is relevant. He asked that the speakers not discuss the tax status or easement issue as these issues are not under the control of the Commission. Mr. Betts explained that there is an alleged 18 ft. easement along the southern property line. Michael Douglas said he has a challenged child and is in favor,of this permit. He said he has helped deliver lumber to the property and will be helping with maintenance of animals and stalls. He said he is behind Lisa 100 %. Lisa Dugan submitted three photos of her child riding, showing the safety measures taken while the child rides. She said her child is autistic, and this program has brought incredible results in helping her child. She was in favor of this permit. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - NOVEMBER 13, 1997❑ Robert Nicola said Ms. Ziel does have a legal IRS #. He said a neighbor has 37 ft. of Ms. Ziel's property under fence. He said they had a survey of the property done and doubts there is an easement on the south side. He was in favor of this permit. Ella Mae Brich said she was in favor of the project. She said the activities can be very beneficial to a handicapped child. Maryilyn Franks submitted a letter from Wayne Bell in opposition. She discussed the group home down the road and the heavy traffic that has caused. She said Plumas - Drive is very narrow. She was against this proposal. She said the road can not handle the increase in traffic. She wanted no more than 2 horses be allowed if this is approved. She discussed the noise from a petting zoo. She discussed a fire break• being necessary. She asked if Ms. Ziel was qualified for this type of care giving. Lynn Wicksom, owns parcel directly west of property, said her property is land locked and that is why the need for the easement. He said the applicant's property drains into his property. He did not want a public use in a rural area. He asked if the use permit would terminate if the property was sold. He said there should be a traffic study done on Ward Blvd., Plumas Drive, and Palermo Drive. He said there should be no dormitory or additional home allowed. The right-of-way should be open on the south property line and there should be watering to prevent dust if this is approved. Lola Cecchi said the application says no overnight lodging, but the brochure says there will be a bunkhouse. She did not believe the land was big enough for this type of project. She said if this is approved there should be no overnight accommodations allowed. Linda Haddeman said she is in favor of the project. She said she sold the property to Ms. Ziel. She believed that many of the concerns could be worked out if the applicant and neighbors work together. Charles Vonberg said he was concerned with the dispute over the easement. He discussed adequate fencing for horses. He asked who monitors the conditions for compliance. Mr. Sanders said the neighbors can contact the Planning Division if the conditions are not met. He explained the procedure. Helen Foster said the problem is that the roads are too narrow for this use. She said people want to live in the country where it is quiet. Floyd Scott said he lives on Plumas Drive and is concerned with traffic. Claude Dryden said the people in favor of the project do not live here. He said the people in the neighborhood do not want this activity in the area. 0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- NOVEMBER 13, 1997 0 0 • Robert Nicola asked if the people in the neighborhood would want a radical group or Lisa? Janie Todd said she was concerned with Lisa complying with the conditions. She said Ms. Ziel told her she did not have non-profit status. She said the brochure states bunkhouses and the application does not. She discussed the problems with these types of children (autistic) being uncontrollable and getting out of hand. She did not want the children showing up at her door. Vince Seniter said the proposed use is a great idea, but the number could increase. Lisa Dugan said her autistic child is involved with a trained therapist and would not be a problem. August Byays, 12 Palermo Drive, Oroville, requested a copy of the minutes from today's meeting. Ms. Ziel said she just wants to provide a safe place where children will be accepted. The hearing was closed. Commissioner Nelson asked why a use permit was required in this case when they are not required for a day care of 6 or under? Mr. Sanders said a Use Permit is required because the use would be opened to the public. Commissioner Cage asked about liability insurance? Mr. Betts said this was not a condition of the permit. Commissioner Cage discussed having a time limit for review of compliance with the permit. Commissioner Leland said the critical issue is compatibility with the,neighborhood. He said lowering the number of,people per day would help lower any incompatibility. He said the right-of-way and easement were not under the purview of the Commission. He said they need to look at the number of horses. He said the second bathroom should be eliminated, and no overnight use allowed i Commissioner Nelson said the permit could be conditioned for the number of children per day, no overnight, number of events, etc. Commissioner Cage said she would like a Motion of Intent for staff to come back with revised conditions. ° Commissioner Mooney said they have not discussed staffing. Chairman Lambert said they need to know about the easement to know if it is feasible to put in the stalls. _ ._0 BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- NOVEMBER 13, 1997 0 • • Mr. Sanders said the fire condition says the structures will be setback 30 ft. from the property line. It was moved by Commissioner Nelson for approval changing Condition 1 to add "or an Erosion Control Plan using basic management practices be submitted to Public Works"; Add Condition 13 to limit the use to no more than 4 children per day;,add Condition 14 to limit it to three events of no more than 30 people per year; add Condition 15 for no overnight facilities; and add Condition 16 for no more than 4 horses. The motion died for lack of a second. It was moved by Commissioner Mooney, seconded by Commissioner Leland, and carried to deny the request subject to the following findings: FINDINGS: A. The application presents a change in character that is inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood because of the public nature of the use; and B. The proposed use of the property will impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies and that the use would be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding property, or detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the persons residing or working inthe neighborhood, or to the general health, welfare and safety of the County.

My wife and I originally chose this area to move to because it was quiet ,away from the city, and a good place to raise children. The area is perfect for our family and for those that live about us. We have watched our family's growth and continue to watch others grow. Now, it seems that our street is to be used for group homes which allow for buses more people and more congestion. Our roads are small and we like it that way. Already there are large buses driving the length of it. All this to accommodate persons in a home at the end of Plumas Drive. We still do not understand how Butte County with all their codes, allowed that to happen? It seems that there were (are) many code discrepancies that exist now and that were allowed in the beginning. I do not remember any application for a use permit for us to sign! We, Darlene and Myself, are not against group homes. Our concern is for the area. With all the many places that exist, with much more land and away from existing families, why choose an area with small family oriented homes? It does seem reasonable to choose an area more suited to a ranch setting, possible further out with more area. We do not think that our neighborhood should be used as a dumping ground for group therapy. With all due respect for those attempting such an endeavor, I do not think it belongs in our small area. We want to protect our choice of a home environment of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness for as long as we have left to live. I do not want others to ruin our "dream".

It is our collective opinion that this will have an adverse effect on our rural community, the county road system and attendent infrastructure is totally inadequate to accomodate this type of project. PNumas Drive, which feeds into Palermo Drive, is only 11 to 15 feet wide. Further, we believe, a use permit should not be granted as it veill. impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies and the use would be incompatible with, and injurious to surrounding prt►perties and detrimental to the health and general welfare of the residents and property . owners of this area.

Ziel APN 068-130-060 Dear Ms. Lambert, Thank you for this opportunity to present my concerns and questions about the above referenced application. I am the owner of and reside at 12 Palermo Drive(APN 068-130-087)which, is located at the southwest corner of Plumas and Palermo drives. My home is immediately across Palermo Drive from the entry to Ms. Ziel's proposed Miracles Rein project. I have reviewed the Staff Report.for the project. I have also read the Eagles Magazine (summer 1997 issue with articles about the project), the first issue of the "Where Miracles Happen" brochure and the November 10 story about the project in the Chico Enterprise Record/Oroville Mercury-Register. The Staff Report cites the quasi-public definition as applicable to the project and that the facilities will be for "challenged, abused and traumatized children." Further, the report states that Ms. Ziel will operate and maintain the facility by herself with, perhaps, one part-time employee. The report also states that only 2 to 3 children will use the facility at any one time and there will be no overnight stays at the ranch. The report is very clear that failure to comply with the conditions which were the basis for the application would constitute a revocation of the permit. I am concerned, based on what I have read, that the project does and will not comply with the conditions on the application. There are noticeable contradictions between what is stated on the application and what is discussed in the other above mentioned documents including the range of handicaps the children will have, the construction of a bunkhouse, the number of horses used in the project and the proposed (but undefined) special events slated to be hosted on the property as well as proposed services for the children's parents/caregivers. My specific concerns regarding these contradictions and the proposed project include: Planning Division N 0 V 1 7 1997 Oroville,California /0C • The apparent plans of the operator to expand the-breadth of the program, including who is served ("physically, emotionally and mentally challenged children" as well as their parents/caregivers). • The ability of one person to successfully and safely manage 2 - 3 children plus 4 - 8 horses, including "a frisky mustang captured in Nevada that will test the limits of any teenager," in an "unstructured environment." • The building of a bunkhouse when the application states that there will be no overnight guests. • The exacerbation of neighborhood traffic problems on the area's narrow roads when undefined "special events" are hosted and people are coming and going from this "unstructured environment." Currently, no traffic mitigations are included for this traffic impact. • The increased potential for the violation through trespassing, vandalism, etc. of neighboring residential properties by the influx of"strangers" in the area through this "unstructured" project. Again, while the report is very clear that failure to comply with the conditions which were the basis for the application would constitute a revocation of the permit, I am concerned that the project does and will not comply with the conditions on the application and have to ask who and how will the project be monitored for compliance? Does this project really qualify as a quasi-public use or is it, in fact, an appointment only facility, with only 2 - 3 children using it at one time? Will any traffic mitigations be included for traffic impacts? At this juncture, I do not believe that a reasonable finding regarding the project can be made since the submitted proposal does not address the above issues and questions. This project will impact the neighborhood and without the inclusion of suitable mitigations and conditions these impacts will adversely effect the quality of life of those of us who have made our homes in this neighborhood. Further, without the inclusion of clearly defined mitigations and conditions the impacts will (based on the information is the referenced written material) only increase. I urge you to deny the application as submitted. As a responsible public servant, I know you will answer my questions and address my concerns. For that, you have my sincere appreciation and gratitude.

The increase in traffic generated by the project will have a definite negative impact on this residential area. Additional cars on these narrow roads will be detrimental to the general welfare and safety of schoolchildren and neighbors. Especially alarming is the proposal of large-scale conferences to be held recurrently on the property. Additionally, runoff from additional corrals, stalls, arenas, and con- centrated animal containment areas (petting zoo ) into the seasonal creek has the potential to adversely affect the environment of the surrounding area. The potential expansion of a commercial facility as planned, is far in. excess of the capacity for the surrounding area to handle. It is incompatible with the character of the zone and potentially injurious to surrounding properties. Irene ieri 172 Ward Blvd. Oroville, CA //- /3 - 97 �. �, - . .. "3 :?'a: e n r,, �x t, '.

The neighborhood we live in is rural , entirely residential and provides wonderful single-family living amenities for those fortunate enough to call this area "home" . It has come to our attention that there is a request for a ' quasi- public use for a mini-ranch ' to be located at 15 Palermo Drive (Use Permit 98-03 for Lisa Kay Ziel ) . Butte County Staff has recom- mended approval of this use; I believe this recommendation is in error and does not fully account for the adverse affects this incon- sistent use will have on our neighborhood . Our roads in this neighborhood could be described as, at best , narrow country lanes. There is already too much traffic , traveling too fast , for the current infrustructure to safely accommodate. That there has been relatively few accidents in this area is simply amazing to me. Of course, the neighbors understand the challenges of these narrow roads and have courteously applied caution to their daily drive, but I am extremely troubled at the prospect of having those less familiar with our roads further congest the neighborhood and thereby exacerbate the potential for serious accident . I have two small girls and I can assure you I take this very seriously. It would be absolutley irre- sponsible to approve a non-residential use of any property in this neighborhood which could lead to compromising the safety of our child- ren. Of additional concern is the potential environmental and health risks associated with the proposed use. I am not convinced that elimination of waste, odor and noise will be sufficiently mitigated . My family and I are strongly opposed to this project , feel that it will indeed adversely impact the nature and character of our neighbor- hood , and ask that you seriously consider these and other objections in denying ' Use Permit 98-03 for Lisa Kay Ziel ' . Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter . Sincerely, The Holland Family; 4Fr , Diane, Alyssa and Kelsey .

Since she purchased the property at 15 Palermo Drive, she has made positive improvements. She is a good neighbor and a hard worker. When we first heard of the Miracles Rein Ranch project and not knowing much about it, we were concerned. To find out more, we attended an Eagles. sponsored fund raiser for Miracle Rein's in Durham. We came away impressed with the Eagles concern for the children and the positive effect the animals seemed to have on the children. We feel that the future Ranch facilities will be a positive improvement to the property and see no harm in one or two children a day enjoying animals in a country atmosphere. We support Lisa and her Miracles Rein Ranch project. Very truly yours, Alan G. Broem V Carol A. Brown Planning Division NOV 0 6 1997 Oroville, California 70 u .��,� i r= �. MMM'''''' i 0 • Attention Members of the Planning Commission: We have lived at 121 Putnam Drive since 1979 and recently became aware that Miracles Rein Rano asking for a Use Permit at 15 Palermo Drive. We challenge the issuance of this permit to Lisa Kay Ziel . The question to Ms Ziel , or any applicant who has interest in opening a care center of this size in a residential neighborhood should be. . .Have you explained the full purpose and extent of your endeavor to the residents and enlisted their cooperation and support? If not , then you cannot provide an environment that will not be hostile to you and the children you will be bringing to your center. This can only result in more abuse in their lives because you will be at odds with your neighbors . Next we challenge the impact on everyone ' s safety.. We must exit daily down Putnam Drive to Plumas , past Palermo to Ward and Olive Highway. The roads are narrow, without sidewalks, and at least 15 children walk to and from Plumas and Ward each day to catch their school bus . More traffic has already resulted from the opening of the center at the top of Plumas no more than six blocks from the Palermo site which includes 6 to 8 trips daily by Work Training Vans that have no regard for speed or the danger of their size on narrow terrain .of a rural , hilly area. This new center will add more traffic and danger to the walking children and any child who happens to get out of the Palermo center. It will also add to the increased number of accidents in the last two years and to the fear that children will be injured or killed. Ms Ziel should not be granted any permit for caring for children. By her actions she has shown she does not care how her neighbors feel nor the children she professes to care for. This can only result in a lousy situation for all who will be affected. We are already living in a traffic situation which daily is becoming more dangerous to us all . We trust that you will takeithe time to really look into this before you take any action in this matter . Respectfully, 1,6 ?)

Page 7 - Section 3: Action B. Condition of Approval: Additional conditions not met in report but important to adjacent landowners: Church, Von Berg and Wixom (see map). 1. Resolution of dispute between landowners over contended easement (see map); 2. Adequate fencing or barriers between Ziel property and adjacent property to prevent intrusion of animals or children; 3. Liability insurance of sufficient amount to cover any costs that may occur to adjacent landowners as a result of operation of the Ziel mini-ranch and approved by the County of Butte. ; 4. All conditions will be enforced by Butte County to prevent confrontations between adjacent landowners; ;; S. If use permit is granted and land is sold or transferred, the use permit should be reviewed before renewal, with input from neighbors, etc. to assess previous performance. We are highly discouraged and dismayed at County staff recommendation of approval for permit WITHOUT ANY CONSULTATION OR INPUT from the adjacent landowners.

It has come to our attention that there is a request before you for `quasi-public use for a mini- ranch' to be located at 15 Palermo Drive (Use Permit 98-03 for Lisa Kay Ziel). We are strongly opposed to this project as we feel it will adversely affect the character of our neighborhood and will be detrimental to the general health, safety and welfare of the residents of our neighborhood. Enclosed in the agenda report under the heading of project Characteristics, it states that there will be a petting zoo with goats,potbelly pigs, and rabbits. Additionally it states there will be four to eight horses on the property 5.96 acres in size. We are very concerned about the large number of animals on a property this size. We feel that the noise generated will be excessive. We are also very concerned about the health risks due to large amounts of animal waste. We feel that it is very unrealistic that one person, with possibly a part time helper can adequately remove the waste along with all of the other duties proposed in this project. The increase in traffic is also a great safety concern. These are narrow, poorly developed, country roads without sidewalks. There are many children in the area that have to walk to and from the bus stops and we feel the increase in traffic will greatly jeopardize their safety. Not only are.the children faced with increased risk, but also are the many people that jog and ride their bikes. We have already felt the impact of increased traffic in this area and are strongly opposed to any projects that will cause even greater increases. Also in the project characteristics it states that `no over night stays are proposed', yet upon researching this project, we were told by a fund raiser for the project that dormitories would become a part of the plan as soon as licensing could be obtained. The analysis of the project states that `the proposed use will change the land use from its current residential use...and will not have a significant impact to the neighborhood'. As residents of the neighborhood, we strongly disagree with this statement. It will have a great impact on all of the residents of this neighborhood. We the undersigned strongly urge you to consider our objections and deny the application for `Use Permit 98-03 for Lisa Kay Ziel'. We thank you for your time and serious attention.

Oroville, applicant ..Lisa ..K. Ziel. I, Rose A. Wheeler am a 91 year old widow living alone on ; the. property bordering the west edge of the Ziel property. I object to the granting of the proposed use- permit for the following reasons:- , 1. The proposal as it now stands would attempt to eliminate a deed granted easement road into the home where I live. Ny home . does not have direct access to a County road. I feel the closure of the access road could jeopardize my safety should there be a need for fire protection vehicles or other emergency vehicles to bring service to my immediate area. 2. I presently suffer from a bronchial asthmatic condition. This condition is adversely affected by pollen and dust. Since horses pulverize the ground to a powdery dust, I feel the proposed activities will greatly aggravate my condition. . 3. I also suffer from chronic heart problems which may one day result in the- need for -emergency ambulatory services. The quickest way to my home is by the upper' easement road which -has'. been used in the past by ambulances when my late husband was '. critically ill. I would feel better knowing that emergency— services could reach me .quickly.. 4. I am homebound nearly -24 hours each day, 7 -days a week and am� concerned that there will be an unwelcome amount--of- noise from the proposed arena area which is close to.my house.

The proposed project is not a residential type Use and will be incompatible and detrimental to the residential atmosphere and safety to the residing property owners and children of this area. Furthermore the current state of the roads(i.e.: Plumas Drive and Palermo Drive) are extremely narrow and visibility is poor. These roads verily will accommodate two way traffic for the current residences. The additional traffic impact that will be imposed by the approval of this project will create a safety risk for the safety and welfare of the residents and our children. These roads are used daily by our children walling to and from the bus stop at Ward Blvd. I also feel that this type of operation is considered as a commercial type use, even though it has a non-profit status, does not blend and is not compatible with the zoning AR-1. (Agricultural Residential) AS RESIDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS AND REGISTERED VOTERS, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE DENIAL OF THE USE PERMIT 98-03 APPLICATION. Sincerely ours: Rickey D. Mauldin Deborah L. Mauldin 274 Plumas Drive Oroville, California 95966 Planning Division N 0 V 1 01991 Oroville,California Floyd M. & Bobbie L. Scott 301 Plumas Drive Oroville, CA 95966-9241 November 09, 1997 Butte County Planning Commission Oroville, CA 95965 RE: APN--068-130-066 Use Permit 98-03 for Lisa Kay Ziel Dear Sirs/Madams: We are strongly opposed to the above captioned Use Permit to be issued to Lisa Kay Ziel for the following reasons: 1. This type of facility proposed is not conducive to the residential area. 2. There will be an increase in traffic on a very narrow road,which is much traveled, at the present,due to the new homes in the area ,plus younger families in the last ten to fifteen years. Plumas Drive is the primary road traveled by children on their way to and from the school bus stop located at Plumas Drive and Ward Blvd. Because of the already dangerous situation the residents in our area feel additional traffic will only add more danger to our children. 3. The proposed use of the land by Ms.Ziel as submitted to the Planning Commission is contrary to brochures,proposals and literature being distributed by Miracle Rein Ranch. 4. We feel if this permit is approved it will compromise the health, noise factor and safety of the neigh- bors in the area as well as set a precedence for other such facilities causing us even more concern. Respectfully su itted, Floyd M. Scott, Jr. Bobbie L. Sco C:file Planning Division N 0 V 1 0 1997 Oroville,California �r- VAR -� 7 November 9, 1997 To: Butte County Planning Commission . Regarding: The requested use permit 98-03 for Ms. Lisa K. Ziel, 15 Palermo Drive, Oroville. I strongly oppose the granting of this permit. I am a resident living adjacent to the property under consideration for a use permit which will allow public use of the land. . The noise and pollution which would result from. horses and.. cars with additional public usage would be most unwelcome to my family and I . We live in this area primarily for safety, peacefulness, and privacy which this neighborhood provides. I have two young children who must walk the narrow winding . roads to and from the school bus drop. Any additional traffic would be an endangerment to them as there are no adequate shoulders along the roads. My home- faces the proposed horse arena -area and is only 130 feet from the Ziel property line. My living area will directly , receive wind blown dust, odors, and flies from the proposed activities. Furthermore, a right away which I have used since moving here in 1992 was abruptly closed.with logs by Ms. Ziel. Any attempts . to pass over the road and remove the logs has met with hostility from Ms. Ziel. I strongly feel the use of the right away should be honored, not only for my families' use,. but for emergency vehicles which may need to provide services to this land locked property upon which I live. It seems to me that granting such a permit will- set an unwelcome precedent for permitting other public organizations to infiltrate our agricultural-residential neighborhood. Therefore I strongly oppose the granting of this use permit. sincerely, Robin M.

D 1891 Orovlfle,Caf tomia Butte County Planning Commission Nov. 10,1997 Attention: Michael Mooney, Commissioner District 1 To makecopies for all the Commissioners In regard to the commission meeting November 13, at 9:00 A.M., about the Miracle Rein Ranch run by a Mrs. Zei 1, 15 Palermo Drive, to grant another home for challenged, abused and traumatized children at 15 Palermo Drive, right off Plumas Drive. My name is Marilyn Franks. I live at 40 Nash Lane, off of Plumas Drive. I am one of the concerned neighbors. Because.in 1995, the commission approved a home for challenged, abused, and traumatized children at 350 Plumas Drive. Our t raf f i c of vehicles has increased ten-f old with work training buses, caretakers an-d home owners and off Plumas Drive. Plumas Drive has been measured'in width: Ward and Plumas Drives - 16 feet, Palermo and Plumas Drives - 14 feet wide, Putnam and Plumas Drive 11 feet wide. This is a very dangerous situation The Drive is not wide enough for school children walking to the bus, joggers and walkers now with all the traffic. The road was tarred in 1967 and 1995. It has never been improved There has already been a terrible accident at the corner of Plumas and Palermo Drive. People drive down the center of the road because it is too narrow. A car crashed right into a truck driving on his correct side. The truck was completely demolished. I hate to think what would have happened if the school children were walking to the bus. Has an Environmental impact Study Report been researched on this road? Was a road counter put on this road in 1995? Has a new study of a road counter been put on Plumas Drive to count the increased traffic? I must emphasize the percent of incrase as subjective to these.findings as judgemental. This parcel drawings are not to scale, they are a quick sketch only. My concerns for this site of 5 acres, 15 Palermo Drive are: 1. That it be stipulated that this is only a day care center, only with 2 - 3 children under 18 ,years of age and Mrs. Zei 1. 2. No overnighters or overnighter caretakers. 3. No more than 2 horses on this parcel of land. 4. That 2 - 3 sMpecial events take place per year,NOT ON HOLIDAYS. / _ 4� 5. That the sanitation on this property be strictly adhered to because this situated parcel will bring flies, mosquitoes and noise and that outhouses are not condusive to our environment in Butte County. 6. That no dormitories or other dwellings can be built on such a small parcel. We still have an Aunt Minnie Law. 7. That a 30 - 60 foot easement on the east side and south side of this property abutting the Wixom 18 foot driveway abutting next to the Church home, 21 Palermo Drive and the VonBurg home next door to the Churches. This must be strictly enforced, also. 8. A firebreak be required along the east side of 15 Pal ermo.Drive, next to the seasonal creek on Plumas Drive. 9. The noise factor of the petting zoo concerns me. How many animals are planned? 10. Is Mrs. Zeil qualified for this kind of care giving? All of Plumas Drive and its offshoots are rural country roads, not according to the states regular size roads, such as Ward Blvd. I strongly object to another home for abused, traumatized and challenged children in,this area. OUR ROADS CANNOT TAKE THE TRAFFIC. 41 Putnam Drive Oroville, Ca. 95966 November 6, 1997 Butte County Planning Commission Oroville, Ca. 95965 Re: Use Permit 98-03 for Lisa Kay Ziel Dear Sir: We are opposed to the Use Permit to be issued to Lisa Kay Ziel for the following reasons: 1. This type of a use permit is not compatible with the character and integrity of the neighborhood. 2. The current road system is inadequate to handle existing traffic. Plumas Drive is the primary road walked by children on their way to the school bus stop. There is already, a dangerous situation without additional traffic to add to the problem. Palermo Drive is 11 feet wide and all residents there feel the road is inadequate to existing traffic. 3. The proposed use of the land by Ms. Ziel as submitted to the Planning Commission is contrary to brochures, proposals and literature being distributed by Miracle Rein Ranch. We are attaching copies of Miracle Rein Ranch publicity. 4. We feel that if the land is used as proposed by Ms. Ziel the health, noise factor and safety of the immediate nieghbors will be compromised. Resprectfully submitted, Joseph R.

My wife and I are owners of the parcel located at 119 Palermo Drive which is located adjacent to the applicants west property line. Our property is land-locked having no direct access to a County road. Our reasons for opposing this use permit are as follows: 1. The map included in the proposed use permit fails to show a deeded right away allowing access to our property. This 18 foot right away and existing road is found along the applicants south property line where the proposed bathroom,tackroom,and corral are shown. This right away has been used by us since 1992 and previous property owners since 1948. The description can be found in the Recorders Office in Book 450,page 449. The road has been blocked from our use by the applicant since May 1997. Our efforts to use the road have always been met by hostile actions from the applicant(Lisa Ziel). 2. As we are neighbors along the west border.we would be subjected to unwanted:. -dust from the proposed arena and riding activities. -drainage from animal waste;bathroom leach fields,stalls,and corrals seeping downhill to our property. -odor's from animal waste. -noise from the public uses proposed - excessive flies from breeding in animal waste. 3. The County Roads are unsuitable for the increased traffic.that will be generated by activities proposed by the use permit. Ward Blvd,Plumas Drive,and Palermo Drive are narrow,winding with blind corners,and dangerous to persons walking,since there are little to no shoulders that allow for safe passage. 4. We believe property values will be adversely affected by the granting of quasi-public use of any kind in this neighborhood. We have chosen to live in this area because of the rural and peacefid atmosphere which it presently provides. We believe quasi-public use is not in keeping with this nail atmosphere. 5. Granting this use permit will set a precedent for additional quasi-public uses that will destroy neighborhoods where property owners wish to retain their anal and agricultural . settings.

Address_ 15 Palermo Drive, Oroville, CA 95966 Phone: (916) 589-2316 3. Name of Proposal, if applicable: Miracle Reins Ranch 4. Type of Project: Use Permit 5. Project Description and Location of Parcel: This project is for a use permit to allow a mini-ranch facility catering to challenged, abused, and traumatized children. The site is zoned AR-1 (Agricultural- Residential, 1-acre minimum parcel size) and has a General Plan land use designation of Agricultural Residential. The project site, which is 5.96 acres in size, has been developed with a single family residence,detached attached garage,and a horse corral. Most of the site is open,with scattered oak and pine trees. Extensive vegetation is found along the unnamed seasonal creek on the eastern lot line. Numerous trees are found along the west lot line. The project site gently slopes downhill from east to west,with an average slope of 12%. The site fronts on Palermo Drive, Plumas Drive, and Pinenut Way. Access to.the project site is off of Palermo Drive. Several new structures will be placed on the project site: A 3,000 to 4,00 sq. ft. barn/craft center, and two small structures for storage. A 50'X 100' open horse riding arena and a petting zoo are also proposed. The ranch will provide an opportunity for challenged,abused,and traumatized children to interact with various types of animals, and the children will betaken on supervised horse rides and allowed to mingle with small animals at the petting zoo. The children will also participate in various types of arts and craft activities The ranch will be open 3 to 4 days per week during daylight hours. The number of children using the facility each day will be low, only 1 to 2 families per day. Large events will be held two to three times per year,with approximately 30 families in attendance. Additional project description can be found at the end of this document. 6. Assessor's Parcel Numbers: 068-130-060 7. Date Checklist Submitted: October 7, 1997 II. DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: ❑ 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 the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION with mitigation(s)will be prepared. ❑ 1 find that the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 1 Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 . Q.-ILA 4/711 q1 Prepared by: Stepheof Betts,Assistant Planner Date Reviewed by: raig Jdnders, Senior Planner Date IIL. 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. ❑ Land Use and Planning ❑ Transportation/Circulation ❑ Public Services ❑ Population and Housing ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Utilities&Service Systems ® Geophysical ❑ Energy and Mineral Resources ® Aesthetics ❑ Water ❑ Hazards ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Air Quality ® Noise ❑ Recreation EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A btief 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 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) "Potentially Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant if there are one or more"Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,an EIR is required. 4) "Potentially Significant Unless 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 Analysis," may be cross- referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in a earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts(e.g.general plans,zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 2 • I 4b Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? X b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? X c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity? X d) Affect agricultural resources or operations(e.g.,impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from incompatible land uses)? X e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community(including a low-income or minority community)? X Response:The mini-ranch use is considered a quasi-public use because they are incorporated as a non- profit organization. The AR-1 zoning classification permits a quasi-public use with approval of a Use Permit. A quasi public use is a Secondary Use under the Agricultural-Residential General Plan land use designation. The proposed facility will not be significantly incompatible with the existing land use in the project area. Agricultural uses, including the keeping of large animals such as cows, sheep, and horses, are a permitted use in the AR-1 zone. The number of people using the project site will be minimal, Surrounding land uses is rural residential on lots ranging in size from 1 to 10 acres. The approval of this project will not disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of the community. (Sources: Butte County General Plan Land Use Element, Chapter 24 Zoning Code, Butte County Environmental Review Guidelines, Butte County Constraints Maps, and a site visit July 31, 1996) Mitigation: None required. 2. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections? X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 3 46 Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or indirectly (e.g.,through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure)? X c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? X Response:.The approval of this project will not exceed the allowed density in this zone. This project will °not induce further growth. Presently, the site has been developed with a single family dwelling unit and horse corral. (Site visit;Chapter 24 Zoning Ordinance) Mitigation: None required. 3. GEOPHYSICAL. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Seismicity: fault rupture? X b) Seismicity:ground shaking/ liquefaction? X c) Seismicity: seiche? X d) Landslides or mudslides? X e) Erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation,grading or fill? X 0 Subsidence of the land? X g) Expansive soils? X h) Unique geologic or physical features? X Response: All of Butte County is classified as a Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone Vill and potential ground shaking is possible. The project is located in the foothills where no known fault zones are indicated on the Butte County Constraints Map. Construction of all buildings on the project site to Uniform Building Code standards will provide adequate protection to occupants in case of seismic activity. The Constraints Map does indicate a low rating for landslide potential and a high erosion potential. There are no areas of extremely steep slope on the project site that would be especially susceptible to erosion. This is reflected and described on the Constraints Map and its legend. The soils on the project site are considered to have a high erosion potential, and the project site receives an average rainfall of 30 inches per year. The project site has an average slope of 16%. Approximately ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 4 Use Permit: Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 9% of the project site will have surface disturbance due to new structures or cleared areas for parking spaces and horse corrals. Approval of this project would ultimately lead to a potential increase in soil erosion due to the expected construction impacts and vegetation removal. Standard construction techniques will be required as part of the construction process of this site. Limiting site construction and soil disturbance to the dry seasons and stabilizing the site prior to the on-set of winter rains will reduce this impact to a less than significant level. Another mitigation will require that the parking spaces and the access road be graveled with at least 2 inches of Class 2 aggregate material. Therefore, significant erosion impacts are not expected to occur. The proposal will require some excavation or grading for driveways and level building sites. Any fill placed on site will have to meet the requirements of Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code and will be compacted to accepted engineering standards and will not represent a hazard. Therefore, the project will not create any unstable earth conditions or result in changes to geologic substructures. Mitigation#1: Limit soil work to periods of dry weather between April 15 to November 15. Mulch protect,Hydro-seed, or otherwise stabilize the soil on all areas that have been disturbed or have been cleared of vegetation and are of erodible material. Mitigation#2:The access road and all parking areas shall be.covered with at least two(2)inches of Class 2 aggregate material and maintained thereafter. 4. WATER. Would the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff? X b) Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding? X c) Discharge into surface waters or other alteration of surface water quality(e.g.temperature,dissolved oxygen or turbidity)? X d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any water body? X e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements? X 0 Change in the quantity of ground waters,either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavation? X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 5 Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? X h) Impacts to groundwater quality? X Response: A seasonal creek is located on the east lot line of the project site. No development is proposed in this area. No changes will occur in any water movements,nor in quantities of groundwater. Once all of the proposed structures are completed, approximately 2%of the project site will be covered by structures, and approximately 2.0 covered by graveled parking areas. Minimal changes in absorption rates and drainage patterns may occur due to impervious coverages from the new structures. The Department of Public Works is requiring a plan for a permanent solution for drainage be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit. The plans will show how drainage waters will be detained on site and/or conveyed to the nearest drainage channel. The plan will provide that there be no increase in the peak flow runoff off the site. In addition,the two mitigations found in Item 3 will reduce erosion impacts to a less than significant level. The proposed use will include the use of four to eight horses and other animals, such as goats,pot belly pigs, and rabbits. Wastes from these animals, if left on the ground, could lead to a significant impact to the quality of surface water runoff from the project site, and potentially pollute downstream surface waters and groundwater. A mitigation in Item 5 requires that the wastes from the animals on the project site be disposed of so as not cause an excessive amount of odor or water pollution. This may require taking animal wastes to the county landfill. Mitigation: None required. 5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation? X b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? X c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate? X d) Create objectionable odors? X Response:The proposed project will not result in any significant cumulative impacts in air quality because the increase in vehicle traffic generated by the proposed use will not be signfcant. Temporary air quality impacts may occur to residents in the project area as a result of construction activities on the project site. The nearest dwelling unit is located approximately 50 feet south of the project site. The access road and parking areas will be graveled. Vehicles on the gravel may put dust into the air. In order to reduce these impacts, a mitigation of this project will require that the project site be watered down during construction, and that the gravel road and parking areas be maintained so as not to put dust into the air. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 6 40b Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98M Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact The waste from the additional horses and other animals that will be placed on the project site may generate odors that could be detected off the project site. The applicant currently uses the waste from the one horse on the project site for fertilizer, spreading it around. This action does cause an odor in certain areas on the project site. Continued disposal of waste from the additional horses and other animals in this manner may create an odor that can be noticed off the project site and could affect the water quality of surface runoff'. In order to prevent these odors, the applicant will be required to properly dispose of waste created by the animals. The AR-1 zoning allows agricultural uses, including the keeping of animals, as a permitted use. The Butte County Code provides for abatement actions if animals on a parcel cause a nuisance, such as excessive noise or odors. If the animals on the project site become a nuisance because of excessive odor, the County can take action to abate the nuisance by requiring animals to be removed from the project site. Mitigation # 3: Watering of the project site shall be accomplished if dust is raised during construction activities. Dust shall also be kept to a minimum on the access road and the parking areas. Mitigation #4: Animal waste shall be disposed of so as not to cause excessive odors or pollute water runoff in accordance with Environmental Health Division requirements. 6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result in: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? X b) Hazards to safety from design features(e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses(e.g.farm equipment)? X c) Inadequate emergency access or access to nearby uses X d) Insufficient parking capacity onsite/ offsite? X e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists? X .f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation (e.g. bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? X g) Rail,waterborne or air traffic impacts? X i h) Substantial impact upon existing transportation systems, including ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 7 I Use Permit: Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact public transportation services? X Response:The impacts caused by the vehicle trips generated by the proposed use will be minimal. The applicant has stated that there will only be two to three visitors to the mini-ranch each day, resulting in approximately four to six additional vehicle trips in the project area. Two to three times a year large events will be held on the project site. These events may generate approximately 40 to 60 vehicle trips. This amount of traffic may result in short term traffic impacts in the project area. The roads in the project area carry limited traffic, and the proposed use will not significantly impact overall roadway operations. MITIGATION: None required. 7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered,threatened or rare species or their habitats(including but not limited to plants,fish, insects, animals, and birds)? X b) Locally designated species(e.g. heritage trees)? X c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g. oak forest,etc.)? X d) Wetland habitat(e.g. marsh, riparian and vernal pool)? X e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? X Response: No impacts will occur to any rare, threatened or endangered species of animals or plants. (Butte County Constraints Map,Site Visit). The site consists of native and introduced grasses, a few oaks and pines,and extensive vegetation along the seasonal drainage(Site visit). One large structure will be placed on the project site, which may require the removal of a several non-native trees. No development is planned near the seasonal drainage. Mitigation: None required. 8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal. a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? X b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner? X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 8 Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact c) Conflict with the extraction of identified, significant mineral resources? X Response:Approval of this project will not result in any conflicts with any energy conservation plans. The project will allow for the construction of a barn/craft center. For the short term, the use of energy will be limited to that fuel needed to operate machinery needed to construct this structure. This does not represent a significant use of fuel. Mitigation: None required. 9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve: 'a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances (including, but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation) X b) Possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? X c) The creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard? X d) Exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards? X e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable brush,grass, or trees? X Response: The project will not involve significant use of hazardous materials, nor is located close to any facilities which store or utilize such materials. Mitigation: None required. 10. NOISE. Would the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? X b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? X Reponse: The project will result in an increase in noise created on the project site. Construction activities will cause temporary, localized increases in existing noise levels which will have an impact on the residents of adjacent parcels. In order to reduce construction-related noise to a less than significant level,a mitigation of this project will allow noise-generating construction activities on the project site to only ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 9 4% Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact occur from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. This will ensure that noise-producing construction activities only occur during normal working hours. The primary source of noise caused by the proposed use will be from the animals that will be placed on the project site. However,the AR-1 zoning allows agricultural uses, including the keeping of animals, as a permitted use. The Butte County Code provides for abatement actions if animals on a parcel cause a nuisance, such as excessive noise or odors. If the animals on the project site become a nuisance because of excessive noise,the County can take action to abate the nuisance by requiring animals to be removed from the project site. Noise may also be generated by the children participating in activities on the project site. These noises will be short-term in nature, will not exceed accepted noise levels for residential areas and therefore not be significant. Noises from activities on the project site during the night hours could cause a significant impact to the residents on the adjacent parcels. In order to reduce this impact, a mitigation of this project will prohibit any activities associated with the proposed use from occurring between the hours of 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Mitigation#5: Noise-generating construction activities on the project site shall only occur between the hours of 8:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m.,Monday through Friday. Mitigation#6:Activities associated with the proposed use shall be prohibited from the hours of 6:00 p.m.to 8:00 a.m. 11. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered government services in any of the following areas: a) Fire protection? X b) Police protection? X c) Schools? X d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? X e) Other governmental services? X Response:The project site is located in an area that has a extreme fire hazard. Fire Station#64 is located approximately 1 mile away. The project area is served by fire hydrants, and the closet hydrant to the project parcel is located on Pinenut Way, directly across from the existing house on the project site. The Butte County Fire Department is requiring that all new structures meet the requirements the California Fire Safe Regulations (PRC 4290) and that building identification and/or addresses be installed in conformance with PRC 4290. These will be added as a conditions of project approval. Approval of this project should not result in a need for new or altered government services(see comment responses from government agencies). Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 10 Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems, or substantial alterations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? X b) Communications systems? X c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities? X d) Sewer or septic tanks? X e) Storm water drainage? X f) Solid waste disposal? X g) Special Districts? X Response: Power lines exist in this vicinity and will not require new systems. This is true for other systems such as telephone service. Sewage disposal for the dwelling unit is handled by an on-site individual septic system. An additional septic tank and leachfield system may have to be installed to handle the increased amount of sewage generated by the proposed use. All new septic systems will have to meet the requirements of the Butte County Environmental Health Department Domestic water is provided by the Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation District. ' Mitigation: None required. 13. AESTHETICS. Would the proposal: a) Affect a scenic vista ordesignated scenic highway? X b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect? X c) Create light or glare? X Response: Approval of the project will not have any adverse aesthetic impacts. The barn/craftstructure will look like a normal accessory building that is allowed in an AR-1 zone. No night time activities associated with the proposed use will be allowed,so no area lighting, such as flood lights, will be required. The new structure will most likely have outside lights for safety and security reasons. Depending on the location and number of outside lights, they may have a significant impact on the adjacent,parcels. To reduce this impact to a less than significant level, all outside light fixtures will be required to utilize "low spillover"design to prevent light from directly spilling off the project site. MITIGATION#7: All outside lighting fixtures shall utilize"low spillover" design where all direct lighting shall remain on site,allowing only reflective lighting to spillover into those areas off site. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 11 Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 14. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal: a) Disturb paleontological resources? X b) Disturb archaeological resources? X c) Affect historical resources? X d) Have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? X e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area? X Response: The Butte County Constraints Map indicates the project site to have a moderate-to-low archaeological sensitivity. Approval of the project is not likely to disturb any significant cultural resources. Topographical characteristics usually associated with the presence of archaeological and historical resources -- rock outcroppings, high promontories, etc. -- are not present on the project site. The seasonal drainage on the project site may be associated with prehistoric activities, but no development is planned close to the drainage. Mitigation: None required. 15. RECREATION. Would the proposal. a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreation facilities? X b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? X Response:Approval of the project will not increase a significant demand locally for additional recreational needs on the community. The purpose of the proposed use is to serve some of the recreational needs of handicapped children. Mitigation: None required. 16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 12 1 Use Permit:Lisa Kay Ziel,File#UP 98-03 Potentially Significant Less Potentially Unless Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? X b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals,to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals? X c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects). X d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human being, either directly or indirectly? X Response:As discussed in Section IV of this document, this project will not significantly degrade the quality of the environment.. This project will not have any significant cumulative impacts on the environment. Those potential impacts--erosion control, dust, noise, and outside lighting --have been identified in this document and will not have any significant adverse effects on human beings with incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures. V. MITIGATION MEASURES AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS: 1. Limit soil work to periods of dry weather between April 15 to November 15. Mulch protect, Hydro- seed,or otherwise stabilize the soil on all areas that have been disturbed or have been cleared of vegetation and are of erodible material. 2.
