(SB) (File UP96-06) (VIDEO) (continued open from March 28, 1996) Mr. Betts said the applicant has submitted two more options regarding access points. He said the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) does not have a problem with this request, but suggested adding three additional conditions as listed on their memo dated April 11, 1996. The two additional options were posted on the wall. Option 2 shows a new access point on Sycamore Lane and Option 3 revises the whole project. A video was shown regarding the access points. The Public Works Department recommends a sight obscuring fence between the field and Sycamore Lane. He said Option 2 is the best compromise. He said Option 3 would require the application to re-design the whole project and improve a long section of road. He said Option 2, with dust treatment for the roads and fencing, should not be a problem to the neighbors. He stated that no night games will be allowed and the access road will be gated. Commissioner Nelson asked if the neighbors had seen the proposed Option 2 and Option 3? Mr. Betts said no as they were just received Tuesday. Commissioner Nelson asked if there were any conflicts between this proposal and the North Chico Specific Plan? Mr. Betts said no, not with the Use Permit. Commissioner Lambert asked if the soccer club fits into the categories listed under 7-7 and 7-10 of the Specific Plan? Mr. Sanders said this is a club operated by a recognized non-profit organization and fits the category. The hearing was opened to the public. Dave Donnan said the applicant has come back with alternatives the commission asked for. He said they would like approval on Option 1 or 2. He said Option 2 would save-them money. 'BUTTEr -0UNTY-PLANNING COMMISSION- MINUTES - April_11,_ 1996 �— `Commissioner Lambert asked if a non-profit organization will pay into the plan the same as a property owner? Mr. Sanders said some property owners contributed to the plan. He said the cost is based on the total build out. He said where this project takes away some of the potential homes, there will be a small incremental increase to the other homes. He stated there will be off- setting savings as well. Chairman Seegert said there is a need for some flexibility in the financial structure of the Plan. Jay Garner said he believed Option 1 is the better option. He said the neighbors were told the County would be fixing the blind corner. Jenny Kizziar said that during the Specific Plan hearings there was no discussion of a possible soccer field at this location. She was against this application. She said 400 or more vehicle trips a day is an intrusion. She discussed other parks being proposed with areas large enough for a soccer field. She read a prepared statement into the record and submitted a copy for the record. She said this Use Permit should be denied on the basis that it is not compatible with the Specific Plan policies and goals. She said for a use of this • kind, Hicks Lane and Eaton Road would need to be improved. She discussed drainage, road improvements and other required elements of the Specific Plan. She was concerned with security. She was against the chemical toilets. She discussed maintenance and cleanup of the park and'the parking area. She asked for denial. Chairman Seegert said if the Specific Plan is to preserve the rural life style, it is in conflict with the proposed infrastructure build out. Commissioner Lambert said this is the area that was proposed to grow with residential. She said she had difficulty going along with a soccer field at this location. She said there are parks designed in the Plan. Commissioner Nelson said this request only moves the location of one of the proposed parks. Mr. Farrel said the Specific Plan has left the flexibility for Public-Quasi-Public facilities with a Use Permit. Chairman Seegert said the Specific Plan is not set in concrete and changes can be made. Doug Kimbell said the access road is a bad stretch of road, wide enough for one car only. He said they drive very slowly on the road, but they are used to it. He said he signed the petition against this project. BUTTE .COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - April 1.1, .1996 Annette Gerdrot said she was concerned with traffic impacts to the entire Sycamore Drive area and against this permit. Mr. Betts said the applicant would improve Sycamore Lane to Hicks Lane under Option 2 to RS-8-LD3 road standards. Sandra Bailey said this is a rural area. She was concerned with the increase in traffic. She said the people on Hicks Lane were not notified. She said the intersection at Eaton Road is a mess and this use would make it worse. Mr. Farrel said the Specific Plan discusses development in this area. He said the area is slated to change. Don Heffren discussed the soccer program and the need for soccer fields in Butte County. He was in favor of Option 1 and asked that this request be approved. Commissioner Cage asked Mr. Heffren if he had contacted Bidwell Park officials because one thousand acres is being added to the park? Commissioner Nelson said the land purchased for Bidwell Park is in the mountains. • Commissioner Lambert asked what use the field would be put to for the six months when there is no soccer.going on? Mr. Heffren said there would be training sessions all year. Mrs. Bailey said the traffic is bad. She said the road gets washed out in heavy rain. She said the neighborhood is prepared for residential development where people buy the property and take pride in their property, not a social park. She was against this project. Gregg Melton said they plan on building the road and meeting all the County's standards including their standards on drainage. He said this will be a fun park to the County and there will be a gate at the entrance. Commissioner Lambert asked about the 6 months of down time use for the field? Mr. Melton said this down time gives the field a chance to rejuvenate itself and will not be used. Mrs. Kizziar said the property is zoned R-1 and there is no mention in the Specific Plan of a public use. She said they are planning a private park that will not be open to the public. She said this project goes against the North Chico Specific Plan policies and goals. • Mr. Sanders said single family homes would generate 9-10 trips per day per parcel. He BUTTE`.-COUNTY PLANNING -COMMISSION MINUTES - April 11, 1996 said 100 homes would generate 1200 trips a day. - Mr. Betts said 600 trips a day for the soccer field will be generated. He said there will be some car pooling. Mrs. Kizziar disagreed with the traffic count submitted by staff. She submitted an estimated amount of trips per day, which in the worst case totaled 2800 trips. The hearing was closed. Commissioner Lambert said she could not support this project. She said she was not sure it complies with the Specific Plan or is compatible with the neighborhood. Commissioner Nelson said the applicant has bent over backwards to re-design the facility to least impact the neighborhood. He said the applicant is willing to improve the road to County standards. He said he did not have a problem with this use and would support Option 2. Commissioner Lambert said Option 2 would be the lesser impact, but she could not find this project compatible with the neighborhood. Commissioner Cage said she would like to see a time limit put on this permit to see if there are any impacts to the neighborhood. Mr. Sanders said the Commission can place a sunset time on the permit, or have the permit come back for yearly review. He said when someone invests in the improvements it is very difficult to put a sunset on the permit. Commissioner Lambert suggested the permit run for five years the same as the terms of the lease. Mr. Farrel pointed out the financial burden to the applicant regarding improvements and noted that it is difficult to find an area for public facilities, and that it may not be possible to finance development with only a limited time to operate.. Chairman Seegert said this type of use needs to occur somewhere. He said there will always be unhappy people, but development will occur. He said he was not opposed to the proposal. He said he was in favor of Option 2. He said as a business person, he is against a time limit on the permit. Commissioner Nelson suggested a condition for review. Staff was directed to do a yearly review, if there are no problems,the matter does not have to go back to the Commission. BUTTE`.COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - April 11, 1996 x It was moved by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Chairman Seegert, and carried for approval subject to the findings and conditions as stated in Exhibit A, for Option 2, with the addition of a yearly review by staff, to come back to the Commission only if there is a problem, to add a condition "Chip seal the access from Sycamore Road to the parking lot to RS-8-LD3 road standards"; add Condition 1 & 3 from the ALUC memo, and add the suggested condition from Environmental Health memo dated 4/10/96 by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Cage, Nelson, and Chairman Seegert NOES: Commissioner Lambert ABSENT: Commissioner Lynch ABSTAINED: No one Chairman Seegert said the chip seal would be from Hicks to the entrance point, to the site as shown on Option 2.

Cal Soccer Club -'proposed Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts and Use Permit to allow a five-field soccer complex on property zoned R-1 (Residential) located on the north side of Sycamore Drive and adjacent to Highway 99, identified as AP 007-010-037 and 007-420-053, Chico. (SB) (File UP96-06) (VIDEO) Stephen Betts briefly summarized the main points of the Agenda Report. He said that road and traffic impacts would be the most significant impacts of the project. A condition of approval would be to improve Sycamore Road to a 30 ft. paved width. A The applicant is being asked to pay a pro rata share for a left turn from Hicks Lane onto Sycamore Drive. Commissioner Lynch said that Hicks Lane might be wide enough to create a left turn lane-by striping, without widening being necessary. Mr. Betts said that is correct. II Mr. Sanders explained how the pro rata share for a left turn lane would be calculated for this project and the residential lots. Mr. Betts noted that intersections at Hicks Lane and Eaton Road and also at Highway 99 would be impacted. Commissioner Lambert said that since the North Chico Specific Plan has been adopted, this project is an alteration of the Specific Plan with a Use Permit. - r Mr. Betts said that is correct. Mr. Farrel said the proposed use is allowed within the context of the zoning which has been applied. It would be consistent with the NCSP, subject to a Use Permit. Commissioner Lambert said according to the NCSP, 80 homes could be constructed on this site. Mr. Sanders said the primary land use is for Low Density Residential in the NCSP. Commissioner Lynch said the Use Permit would not preclude the property owner from creating a subdivision on the property. Mr. Betts said that with public sewer and water, fairly small lots could be created, or larger lots without public sewer and water. • Commissioner Cage asked how close the property is to the nearest City limit. BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - March 28, 1996 Mr. Sanders said the City limits are far enough away that public sewer will not be provided in the near future. Commissioner Lambert said the staff report contains no comments from the City of Chico, and yet the possibility of annexation does exist. Commissioner Lynch said the proposal would not create a permanent change in the land use. The land will be graded for a temporary use. Traffic will be the main impact. Mr. Betts noted the City of Chico was contacted for comments, but nothing was received. HEARING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Gregg Melton, representing the Cal Soccer Club, said that traffic is indeed the main concern. The estimate for the road improvements is approximately $75,000, which is more than the non-profit organization can afford. He thought the traffic estimates are high, since there will probably be a lot of carpooling. Commissioner Lynch asked how many people would be involved in a game. Mr. Melton said there could be as many as 100 people, but that is not realistic since all parents do not attend all games. He said that the soccer club is looking for funds to build the road. They would like to get the fields planted before fall. They would like to be allowed to construct the fields and postpone road improvements while they obtain the necessary funds, or do the road improvements over a period of time. Commissioner Lambert asked where the games are currently played. Mr. Melton said games are played in various locations in Butte County. This field would be the "home field" for Chico. He said if they do pay for the road, they would be interested in reimbursement to recover their costs. Mr. Nelson said that reimbursement agreements are a common procedure. Commissioner Cage asked if the road could be bonded. Commissioner Nelson said that the road would need to be built immediately. Mr. Farrel said that a bond would mean deferment of road construction. Commissioner Cage suggested bonding the road right away. • Commissioner Nelson explained that a bond would not work, since the road needs to be built to handle the traffic generated by the soccer field, and construction should not be postponed through a bond. >.: BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- March -28, 1996 Commissioner Lynch said that a loan might be necessary, but a bank would probably not lend money based on potential reimbursement. Gregg Melton agreed that there will be an impact on the road, but yet they cannot afford to construct the road before the coming fall, when they would like to begin holding games. Commissioner Lambert asked how reimbursement is handled in a Specific Plan area. Mr. Farrel said reimbursement takes place from adjacent property owners, who develop their property later, within the Specific Plan area. He said that the County has no plans for road improvements at this location at this time. There was a discussion of the fact that the project location does not actually front Sycamore Drive. Mr. Melton said that they have a 5 year lease with an option to renew, but he thought that eventually the property would be developed with a more profitable use. He said that the road directly in front of the project has already been improved -- the portion that needs improvement is between Hicks Lane and the project. • Chairman Seegert said that there will be a full traffic impact on the road from the. beginning so it would not work to improve the road gradually. �— - Jeni Kizziar, 200 Sycamore Drive, said her house is directly across from the proposed parking lot. She said that she bought her property because it was in a low density area and had seclusion. She said that emergency vehicles would have difficulty accessing the project, and there is a blind curve on a narrow road where children would be walking and bicycling to the soccer field. She said the road has a drainage problem at the blind curve. One parcel in particular has a severe drainage problem. Ms. Kizziar said that 9 cars per hour is heavy traffic considering there are only 12 residences. She said that neighborhood seclusion and security would be impacted, and that there are very few children in the neighborhood, so the soccer field will be of no benefit to the neighborhood and will create a lot of problems. She said there would probably be parking on the streets. She was concerned about restroom facilities, the water table, and hazards to children on three sides of the property. Priscilla Jones, of a Paradise soccer club, said that the project would be an asset to the community including all of Butte County. Fred Gerst said that the project should be reviewed by ALUC due to its proximity to the airport. He said the runway is only 1.5 miles from the project and there would be a high density of people on the property. BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - March 28, 1996 { V Doug Christian, 15 H Cobblestone, a professional fire fighter and engine captain, said there would be no problem driving afire engine down the proposed driveway with the proposed turnarounds. He said he is a soccer coach, and games usually are attended by 15 kids and 10 parents who carpool in minivans. Mike Pearsall, soccer coach, said that other communities have soccer complexes like the proposed project, and it would be nice to have one locally. He said that ordinarily about 10 parents attend games for younger children, and older age groups do more carpooling. It would be unrealistic that 100 people would be attending a game. This project would be basically a "free park" for the County , is much.needed, and would be a better use near the freeway than residential uses. Jeff Grimm, soccer coach, said that about 7 to 10 parents attend games in addition to the 15 players. At the most there would be between 30 to 50 people at a game. He thought the location would be an improvement over the congestion at the local school fields that are presently used. He said that many people would benefit from the fields and impact only a few for a short time period one day a week. As the fire captain said, there would be no problem for emergency vehicles. As for density, the fields would only be used one day a week. A centralized location would be much better for scheduling and for parents and would avoid the problem of canceling games due to conflicts with school activities. Commissioner Cage asked if there would be a resident caretaker on the property. Mr. Grimm said he was a coach and not a manager'and did not know about a caretaker. Dave Stahl, soccer coach, said that soccer is the fastest growing sport in the County and there are no soccer fields for children. This is a quality project and fills a designated need without costing taxpayers anything. Commissioner Lambert wondered about possible expansion of the site and asked if it would be anticipated that there would be more participation in soccer locally if it is the "fastest growing sport." Mr. Stahl said that is possible. Dave Donnan, 1228 Downing Avenue, president of Chico Cal Soccer, said this project is his "dream." After much searching, it,appeared that the selected site was the best available for the soccer fields. Only,'20'acres of the '52 1 acre.parcel,will be used. There is room for expansion,.but the soccer club cannot really afford to expand. The soccer club has saved money for twelve years for field acquisition. Most of the development work will be'provided by volunteers. Mr. Donnan said that they would like to get the grass planted as soon as possible so they can hold games this fall. Jay Garner lives on the property and will cut the grass. People living at MGM Trucking will caretake the property. He said that games are only played on Saturday and game times could be staggered, which would lessen the traffic impact at any one time. BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - March 28, 1996 Commissioner Nelson suggested that the project could be redesigned and landscaped so that traffic could have a different access and there would be less impact on the adjacent subdivision. Mr. Donnan said that he would have to redo his lease if the project is redesigned, but V he would be willing to work together on a redesign if the County would be willing to help work out the road improvement problem. Commissioner Cage agreed that the project should have a buffer zone. Mr. Donnan said that other accesses could be worked out, if the project can be approved so they can get the grass planted. They need time to try get financing for ' the road. Chairman Seegert said that because of CEQA requirements, the traffic impacts must be taken care of. Mr. Donnan said that they need time to produce the funds to take care of the road. Mr. Farrel said that Development Services staff could work with the project developers and architects to look at alternative arrangements for access concerns. There might be a way to work with the property owner.so there would be less road work required on Sycamore. Commissioner Lambert said that the project should be reviewed by ALUC at the next available meeting (April-3, 1996).. Mr. Donnan asked if the project could be approved, with the road improvement costs being worked out later. There was a consensus that the authority to work out the road conditions should reside with the Planning Commission. Mr. Donnan said they would like to install the underground sprinklers and plant the grass this year, but they need to get the funding for the road. They are willing to do the road 'improvements. Chairman Seegert said that the soccer fields are an approved use for the zone, but the traffic impacts must be addressed from the beginning. Commissioner Lynch said that since the fields will all be constructed at once, the road impacts will occur from the beginning, whereas if the fields were constructed slowly over a longer period of time, the road improvements maybe could move slower, in pace • with the traffic impacts. BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - March 28, 1996 It was moved by Commissioner Nelson, to continue the hearing to April 11, 1996, for V4 the applicant to work with staff to try to solve the traffic problem, possibly reorient the project to have less impact on the neighbors, and cost less money as well, with review by ALUC if possible. i Mr. Gerst said that the proposed soccer field is located directly under the flight path of the borate bombers. He was concerned that soccer fields would create a density of people that would be unsafe. Commissioner Nelson said that the area is zoned R-1, which would allow residential uses. Ms. Kizziar said that the water table was not addressed, nor the sewage. Staggering game times would result in a continuous traffic problem. She has heard that there would also be Sunday games as well as practice times. She felt that the safety of the children should take priority over the landscaping or parking lot or road problems. Chairman Seegert said that the intent was not to eliminate the road requirement, but rather to make it workable. Comm issioner`Eambert noted that the staff report said that there-would-be a-tots' [6f seven chernical toilets. HEARING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC The motion for continuance (OPEN) by Commissioner Nelson, was seconded by Commissioner Lambert and carried unanimously. BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - March 28, 1996 AGENDA ITEM AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Planning Manager BY: Stephen Betts, Assistant Planner DATE: March 18, 1996 REQUEST: Use Permit for Chico-Cal Soccer Club on APN 007-010-037 and 007-420-053(UP 96-06►: A request for a Use Permit to allow a five-field soccer complex located on the north side of Sycamore Drive, and adjacent to Hwy. 99, Chico. The property is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential). This project is located in Supervisorial District 5. RELATED ITEMS: North Chico Specific Plan FOR: Planning Commission Meeting of March 28, 1996 SUMMARY: This application is for a Use Permit to allow a 20-acre soccer complex. The soccer complex will consist of five soccer fields, a warm-up field, a 160 space parking lot, picnic areas, a children's play area, and a temporary overflow parking lot. The project site is located in the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP)and is in a R-1 zone, which requires a use permit for quasi-public uses. Staff recommends approval with conditions and findings contained in this report. PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS: This project is for a Use Permit to allow a five-field soccer complex on 20 acres of land located at the west end of Sycamore Drive, adjacent to Hwy. 99. The project site is located on two parcels with a total of 51 acres, but the soccer complex will only cover 20 acres of the project site. One residential dwelling unit with accessory buildings is located on one of the parcels. A trucking company is also operated out of this residence. The only access to the project site is from Sycamore Drive. Highway 99 and a Shasta Union Drainage District ditch make up the west boundary of the project site. The northern boundary of the project site is the levee of Mud and Sycamore Creeks. The project site is currently in agricultural production. Several wells are located on the project site. The site is zoned R-1 (1.1 to 4 dwelling units per acre), and is designated by the North Chico Specific Plan as Low Density Residential(1 to 6 dwelling units per acre). Surrounding parcels are zoned R-1 and OS (Open Space), and have a Specific Plan designation of Low Density Residential and Agricultural-Residential. Surrounding parcels range in size from .78 acres to 48 acres, with the predominate size being 1 acre. The surrounding land use is suburban residential, agricultural, and open space. The soccer complex will not be open to the general public for use. All games and practice times will be managed by the Chico-Cal Soccer Club. A mobile concession stand will be used on Saturdays. Maximum use of the soccer complex will occur on Saturdays. Scheduled games will be played at the soccer complex during two soccer seasons: March through May, and September through November. ANALYSIS: The proposed soccer complex will significantly alter the land use of the area. The proposed use raises a number of issues and concerns that must be addressed in order to accurately assess the project. These issues/concerns are land use, road and traffic impacts, noise and night lighting, seasons and hours of operation parking, water runoff, safety, sanitary facilities, and other concerns. Land Use The project site is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential, 1.1 to 4 dwelling units per acres)and is located within the North Chico Specific Plan area. The proposed use is considered a quasi-public use, per Butte County Code 24-305.450. This ordinance states that a quasi-public use is "A use operated by a private non-profit educational, religious, recreational, charitable, fraternal, or medical institution, 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 schools, universities, community youth and senior citizen recreational facilities...and the like." Quasi-public uses located in a ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 1 AGENDA ITEM R-1 zone require a use permit. The proposal could mean the loss of 20 acres of land for low-density residential use. At four dwelling units per acre, this amounts to approximately 80 single-family houses. The NCSP estimates that there will be approximately 1,154 new homes built in R-1 zones in the plan area. The loss of 80 homes due to this proposal amounts to 7%of the new homes that could be built in the NCSP area. The loss of these homes, while not significant, will represent an incremental loss of homesites available. Homesites may have to be developed elsewhere in the Chico to make up for the loss of homesites due to the soccer complex. The loss of the 80 potential homesites may result in higher per unit fees for other homes built in the NCSP area. The fees collected from new homes in the Specific Plan area will go to pay for new infrastructure, such as roads, water and sewer systems, new schools, or to improve the existing infrastructure. However, the loss of the 80 homes will mean that less fees are collected, rasing the per unit fees for all the other new homes built in the NCSP area. This will result in higher home prices in the NCSP area. Future uses such as this should be carefully considered to assure stability in the financing program of the NCSP. The Cal-Chico Soccer Club is leasing the 20 acres of land with an option to buy, and also has an option to lease the remaining 30 acres. The soccer complex may not be a permanent use and at some time in the future could convert to residential use. The adjacent 30± acres is planned to remain in agricultural production or open space. This 30± acre portion could be developed with residential dwellings at R-1 densities at some time in the future. Any development of the remaining 30± acres of agricultural land on APN 007-010-037 may require that a Use Permit be obtained, depending on the proposed use, or that a parcel or subdivision map be obtained. Noise and Night Lighting Noise generated by participants and spectators on the soccer complex and by the vehicle traffic on Sycamore Drive will not be significant enough to warrant mitigations. The nearest residence is adjacent to the south side of the project site. A trucking company is also run out of this residence. Other nearby residences are located across Sycamore Drive. The most intense noise generated by participants and spectators and by vehicle traffic will occur only on Saturdays, during non-sleeping hours. As a condition of this project no amplified sound in the soccer complex will be permitted at any time in order to prevent noise from annoying people in the neighborhood. The project site is located adjacent to Highway 99. Noise generated by vehicles on Highway can be heard throughout the project area. The noise generated by vehicles on Highway 99 will help drown out the noise generated by the soccer complex use. The applicant has stated that night games will not be played at the soccer complex, so night lighting of the playing fields will not be required. In order to prevent night lighting, a condition of this project will prohibit night lighting of the playing fields. Security lighting may be installed, but a condition of this project will require all security lighting to be full- cutoff devices, and be downward directed, 90 degrees from horizontal. This will help prevent stray light from leaving the project site, and thereby reduce lighting impacts to nearby residences and Highway 99. Seasons and Hours of Operation There are two soccer seasons: September through November, and March through May. This is when the soccer complex will see its heaviest use. At other times of the year the soccer complex will only be used for practice. Maximum use will occur on Saturdays,from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is when the youth leagues will play. An adult soccer league will use the soccer complex on Sunday afternoons. There are only four teams in the adult league so usage of the soccer complex will be minimal on Sundays. The soccer complex will be used during the weekdays for team practice, but only after school hours and before night fall (3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.). Road and Traffic Impacts The main impact that the proposed soccer complex will have will be road and traffic impacts. At maximum use the soccer complex may generate enough vehicle traffic that significant impacts will occur to Sycamore Drive,and possibly to the intersections of Sycamore Drive/Hicks Lane, and Eaton Road/Hicks Lane. None of these intersections have signal lights, but stops signs are located on Sycamore Drive at Hicks Lane, on Hicks Lane at Eaton Road, and at the ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 2 end of the Highway 99/Eaton Road off-ramp. The increased use of Sycamore Drive will be significant. Sycamore Drive is a very narrow, rural road, approximately .5 miles in length. Currently, Sycamore Drive has very little traffic on it, as only 15 homes are located along it. A small trucking company is also located near the end of Sycamore Drive. The trucking company, MGM Trucking, does not normally operate on the weekends, but there could be an occasional truck using Sycamore Drive on Saturdays. The traffic generated by the proposed project, which will be approximately 600 vehicle trips, will reduce the safety of vehicle traffic on Sycamore Drive. As a condition of this project, the applicant will be required to improve Sycamore Drive to County Standard RS-36. The improvement will ensure that Sycamore Drive can safely handle the traffic generated by the soccer complex. At maximum use, the soccer complex could generate up to 1,200 vehicle trips (600 in, 600 out) over a nine-hour period. The applicant supplied the Planning Division with a document that showed that up to 20 games could be played in one day on the soccer complex. Approximately 40 teams (600 players) are required to play 20 games. If each player arrived in a separate vehicle, the 1,200 vehicle trips estimate would be a maximum estimate. However, the applicant has provided a schedule from the last soccer season. This schedule shows that an average of ten games were played on Saturdays. Of the 20 teams that play on an average Saturday, approximately eight of them were not from the Chico area. The applicant has stated that they have no intention of adding more teams to their soccer club and that the schedule for the proposed soccer complex will be similar to past schedules. As a mitigation for this project the number of soccer teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club shall not be greater than 17 until such time as improvements to the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane, as stated in the North Chico Specific Plan, are accomplished. If only ten games are played at the soccer complex during a Saturday the vehicle trips generated will be far less then 1,200. If each player uses a single vehicle to get to the soccer complex, a total of 600 vehicle trips (300 in, 300 out) will be generated. In addition, approximately eight of those teams will be coming from out of town and would tend to carpool, thus reducing the amount of vehicle trips. These 600 trips would be spread out over a nine-hour period, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This would be an average of 33 vehicle trips per hour coming in to the soccer complex and 33 vehicle trips per hour leaving the soccer complex. Carpooling, which would be expected from the out-of-town teams, will further reduce the amount of vehicle traffic. Spectators who arrive in separate vehicles from the soccer game players are not expected to generate significant amount of vehicle traffic. Most spectators will be parents of the players, and they will usually drive their children to the soccer complex. These vehicle trips are included in the 33 vehicles trips per hour average. The intersection of Hicks Lane and Sycamore Drive could be impacted by traffic generated by the soccer complex. There is no left turn lane on Hicks Lane for Sycamore Drive. There is sufficient room for vehicles traveling north on Hicks Lane to get around vehicles waiting to make a left turn onto Sycamore Drive. However, these vehicles would have to slow down to safely get around the vehicles waiting to make a left turn. Hicks Lane does not have a high volume of traffic, and vehicles wanting to make a left turn from Hicks Lane to Sycamore Drive should only have a very short wait, if any, to make the left turn. As a condition of this project the applicant must pay a pro-rata share for a left turn lane on Hicks Lane. It is expected that most vehicles leaving the project site will make a right turn onto Hicks. This should not result in any significant traffic backup due to the low traffic volumes on Hicks Lane. The intersection of Hicks Lane and Eaton Road, and the nearby Highway 99 offramp, could be significantly impacted by the traffic generated by the proposed soccer complex. Most of the vehicle traffic generated by the soccer complex will use the northbound Highway 99 off-ramp at Eaton Road. A stop sign is located at the end of the off-ramp. Vehicles heading to the soccer complex have to make a right turn at the end of the off-ramp, and then make an immediate left turn in order to get onto Hicks Lane. This is an awkward movement because the off-ramp and the intersection of Eaton and Hicks are located within approximately 100 ft. of each other. There is no left turn lane on Eaton Road for Hicks Lane, and there is only enough room between the off-ramp and Hicks Lane for two or three vehicles. There is sufficient room for vehicles to get around any vehicles that waiting to make a left turn onto Hicks Lane. A one-hour traffic count, in 15-minute increments, was conducted by Staff at the intersections of Eaton/Hicks and Hicks/Sycamore on a Saturday during good weather. A total of 692 vehicles used the Eaton/Hicks intersection and ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 3 northbound Highway 99 on and off-ramps during the one hour count. Of these vehicles, 201 used the Highway 99 off- ramp. Of these vehicles, 107 vehicles made a left turn onto Eaton, 58 vehicles made a right turn onto Eaton, and 36 vehicles made a right turn onto Eaton and then an immediate left turn onto Hicks. During the one hour count, no unusually long delays for vehicles on the off-ramp wanting to make a right turn onto Eaton were observed. The addition of approximately 33 vehicles per hour due to the soccer complex use may result in longer waits for vehicles wanting to make a right turn onto Eaton. However, the waiting time will not be unusually long and will not significantly degrade the level of service for the Eaton Road/Hicks Lane/Highway 99 on and off-ramps. A total of 82 vehicles made a right turn from Hicks Lane onto Eaton Road during the one hour traffic count. No unusually long waiting times were observed. The addition of approximately 33 more vehicles per hour due to the soccer complex may result in longer waiting times for vehicles wanting to make the right turn onto Eaton Road, especially if many vehicles leave the soccer complex at the same time. However, the waiting times will not be unusually long and will not significantly degrade the level of service for vehicles turning right from Hicks Lane onto Eaton Road. A vehicle count was not conducted on the southbound on-ramp on Highway 99 at Eaton Road. Vehicles leaving the soccer complex will use this on-ramp to get onto Highway 99. There is no left turn lane for vehicles on Eaton Road wanting to get onto the on-ramp, and traffic going straight on Eaton Road may not have enough room to get around vehicles waiting to make a left turn. This could lead to a temporary backup of vehicles if many cars are waiting to make the left turn to get onto Highway 99. However, the additional 33 vehicle trips per hour that the soccer complex generates in not expected to significantly impact the level of service for this intersection. The one hour traffic counts at the intersection of Hicks Lane and Sycamore Drive indicate that there will be minimal impacts to this intersection due to the soccer complex use. A total of 95 vehicles were counted using this intersection during the one hour count. No delays were observed. Because there is so little traffic on Hicks Lane, vehicles wanting to turn left from Hicks Lane onto Sycamore will have a very short wait time, if any. The same holds true for vehicles wanting to make a right turn from Sycamore Drive onto Hicks Lane. However, if many vehicles leave the soccer complex at the same time there will most likely be an extended waiting period for vehicles wanting to make the right turn. The North Chico Specific Plan, adopted by the Butte County Board of Supervisors in March, 1995, states that the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane will be realigned, and that Eaton Road and the Eaton Road Highway 99 overcrossing will be widened. The Plan also states that Hicks Lane will be restricted to right turns, only. The Plan does not state when these improvements will be accomplished. Parkin The applicant proposes a 160-space gravel parking lot which will have access to Sycamore Drive through a 280 foot- long driveway. The applicant has also proposed a temporary overflow parking lot located between Sycamore Drive and the soccer complex. The parking lot is approximately 760 feet long,with a turn-around located at each end. This length of the parking lot necessities another vehicle turnaround, which should be located midway between the other two turnarounds. This will allow vehicles, especially emergency vehicles, easier access from the soccer complex. As a condition of this use permit, the applicant will either have to add another turnaround at the parking lot midpoint or move the south turnaround to the midpoint. As a condition of this project,a minimum of six(6)handicapped parking spaces will be required to be installed and maintained. These handicapped spaces shall be installed per California State Accessibility Standards. Water Runoff The site has soils that are not able to absorb much water. In addition, the project site has a high water table. The construction of the soccer complex should not increase water runoff because the playing fields will absorb and retain water better then the existing agricultural soils. However, the site will be leveled allowing the remaining water to run off more quickly which may affect drainage facilities in the area. Several drainage channels will drain water from the site into the Shasta Union Drainage District drainage ditch adjacent to Highway 99. As a mitigation of this project, the applicant will be required to provide a permanent solution to drainage for the project site. Fertilizer will be required in order to properly maintain the grass on the playing fields. Fertilizer-laden water could run ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 4 off of the site, causing nitrogen fixation in nearby waterways. This could lead to a loss of oxygen in these waterways, which could significantly impact fish and other wildlife living in these waterways. However, fertilizer will be used mostly during the non-rainy seasons, when runoff is minimal. Any fertilizer runoff during the rainy season will be diluted to such an extent that significant environmental impacts will not occur. The fertilizer use will be less than that used by the current agricultural use. In addition, the fertilizer use on the soccer complex will be much less than that used by the potential residential use of the project site. Safety Injuries can be expected to occur at the soccer complex due to the action of the soccer games. Most of these injuries are expected to be minor and will not require emergency response. However, some injuries may require emergency response from fire personnel and/or paramedics. In order to allow for emergency notification, a pay phone shall be placed in a central location of the soccer complex. The phone will allow soccer complex users to notify emergency personnel in the case of a significant injury. Without a phone, emergency notification could be delayed. Highway 99 and a drainage ditch make up the west boundary of the project site. Both of these could be considered to be an attractive nuisance, especially to children. In order to prevent access by soccer complex users to Highway 99 and the drainage ditch, a fence should be installed to prevent access. As a condition of this project, the applicant will be required to install a fence at least six feet tall along the west boundary of the project site. Sanitary and Drinking Water Facilities The project has been reviewed by the Butte County Environmental Health Division and it was determined that the existing agricultural well located just east of the soccer complex is adequate for this use. Another well located to the south of the soccer complex will be used for watering the soccer fields. Several drinking fountains will be located on the project site, providing adequate water for users of the soccer complex. A minimum of two drinking fountains shall be installed under permit from the Butte County Environmental Health Department. Both drinking fountains will meet California State Accessibility Standards. The applicant has proposed that portable chemical toilets will be used. Due to the poor soil types and high water table on the site, septic systems are not recommended. The Butte County Environmental Health Department had stated that portable chemical toilets are acceptable. They stated that three toilets (3) shall be provided for each sex, for a total of six (6) portable toilets. In addition, one (1) additional portable chemical toilet shall be installed that meets California State Accessibility Standards. This portable toilet will ensure that handicapped people have access to restroom facilities. This portable toilet will be for either sex. Each portable chemical toilet shall be serviced according to Butte County Environmental Health Department standards. Other concerns Portions of the site are located in an area that has a high archaeological sensitivity due to the site's location next to Mud and Sycamore Creeks. All of the site has undergone plowing for agricultural purposes, so the chance of finding intact and undisturbed archaeological resources on or near the surface is very remote. However, grading activities and construction of drainage ditches may uncover archaeological resources. A mitigation to prevent the loss of any archaeological resources due to this project will require that all construction be halted should any archaeological resources be found and that the Butte County Planning Division be notified immediately. The applicant has indicated that a mobile concessionaire will sell food and drinks to soccer complex users. As a condition of this project, all food facilities at the soccer complex, including mobile facilities, shall be approved under permit by the Butte County Environmental Health Department. The plan of the soccer complex shows that the soccer complex will be landscaped with numerous trees. In order to ensure that these trees are planted, a condition of this project will require that the applicant install and maintain the landscaping as indicated on the plan that is.on file with the Butte County Planning Division.

Currently the site is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. This zoning allows a Public and quasi-public use with a Use Permit. The site is currently and has been agricultural land, vainly wheat and straw. The Soccer Complex will have 5 fields for use by youth and adult soccer leagues, along with other sports using tuirf fields. The site will be managed by Chico-Cal Soccer Club. The new use will consist of a soccer complex allowing soccer and other turf field sports. Here are the elements of the project: 1. supplying 5- new soccer fields 2. warm-up area 3. group picnic area 4. childrens play area 5. 160 car gravel parking lot, with drop off and tur►i around areas 6. wide crusher dust promenade through the center of the site 7. designated areas for chenical toilets 8. central meeting places along promenade with 840 picnic tables 9. landscape buffers and shade trees all around site 10.shade trees lining both sides of promenade 11. drinking fountains 12. entry sign and gate 13. irrigation systenuw This new use will convert 20 acres of R-1 land into 20 acres of recreational ope►i space. This will reduce the density of housing in the area and provide the surrounding neighbors with a recreation fields and open space. Use of the complex will be primarily on Saturdays, as this is the tines of league games. Weekly use will be limited for practice activity. Chico-Cal Soccer Club believe this addition to the recreation fields in Chico will lesson the burdon ou the City of Chico and allow for a better athletic Planning Department experience for the youth of But County.

Q� IVESSIO C*13 o ch el S. Byrd R.C.E. 28998 No. 28998 �, Registration Expires 03/31/99 �9T CIVIL F�F CALIF�� E:\PROJECTS\PROPOSAL\0•GARRER Garner Soccer Complex Site Constraints Physiographic - Due to the flat topography.of the site, grading will need to be done to provide adequate drainage (site will drain to the drainage channel bordering Highway 99.to the west of the property). Pedalogical - Soil structure reflects modest limitations due to slightly high clay content that will have to be considered in the design of the site and in selection of vegetation. Amendments such as mulch or compost may be added to the site in order to lessen this concern and decrease surface compaction of the soil. - Permeability of the soil is low as a result of its high clay content, grading will have to be done to insure proper drainage and avoid ponding. - Due.to the soils water carrying nature, tree stock that is root-rot resistant will have to . be incorporated in the design of the site. - Use of fields when they are wet could increase compaction. Hydrological - Soils have low permeability; site will have to be designed for expeditious surface drainage to go to storm channel on the western border of property. - The north border of the site abuts the Sycamore Creek 100 year flood channel, however this flood channel does not extend into the site. - Runoff from the site will be fairly rapid. - Water table is high, 30 plus inches deep. Geology - Depth to bedrock is greater than 72 inches ( 72 inches is as deep as the test was conducted ). Meteorological - The site is currently highly exposed to the sun and wind conditions; this can be limited as desired through use of the tree planting design. Vegetation - Vegetation selection will have to take into consideration the high clay content of the soil in selection, use and horticultural/maintenance practices. - There are existing trees adjacent to the project site that should be checked for Planning Department condition and safety. N 0 V 0 1 1995 Oroville,California Cultural Resources - Although the North Valley Specific Plan indicates that a section of the site may be archaeologically sensitive, no known culturally sensitive areas or artifacts have been located in the `years that farming has been done on the site, thoroughly disrupting the soil. Visual - Vistas from the site to the foothills in the east should be preserved, while parked autos and traffic to the south and west should be screened. - Design may include a low turf berm to further block views to the west and prevent stray balls from entering the parking area. This berm must be designed to allow for drainage. Land Use - Limited residential development to the south should be considered in the design of the site. Transportation Corridors - Site is bordered by Highway 99 to the west(no direct access), Sycamore Road to the south, and Sycamore Creek to the north and northeast (possible bicycle/pedestrian access). - Sycamore road will accommodate automobile traffic to/from the site under normal conditions. - Parking will have to be provided for park users. - As area develops alternate modes of travel (bicycle, public transportation) should be encouraged, site design should reflect this. Infrastructure - Adequate area should be provided for project restrooms and leachfields, as well as alternate leachfield as a backup for main leachfield. - Gravel or paved interior roads and parking will have to be provided due to the slick nature of the clay soils. - To prevent compaction, the parking area should be designed so runoff should be relatively rapid to prevent standing water, and avoid infiltration of the parking area. - Chemical toilets and septic system will have to be used on the site. - Design site to drain to existing storm channel bordering Highway 99. - Design site to include access for removal of solid waste. Water - Holding tank and booster pumps may be needed to provide proper irrigation pressure. - A light sprinkling irrigation system should be used to minimize compaction of fields during use periods. Planning Diapartment N 0 V 0 1 1995 Oroville,California Economic - Design will have to reflect the fact that funds for improvements and maintenance are limited. - Property will have to be reclassified to a non-profit or public status to avoid the assessment property taxes. Operation/Maintenance - Design will have to consider the following operational and maintenance needs.. Emergency access and egress Maintenance and repair costs Maintenance equipment needs and storage Security Signage Supervision needs, both during use and when park is not being used Vandal resistant design Political Project leaders should try to enlist support of.the Chico Area Recreation Districts Board of Directors, the City of Chico Parks and Recreation Commission, as well as existing soccer and sports groups. - Project should consider the concerns of the existing neighborhoods to the south and traffic access to the site. - Project should look into concerns related to Sycamore Creek, including contacting the Vector Control Department. Legal - The project will have to obtain a County Use Permit to build a park in an area zoned as R-1 residential. - Project will have to satisfy CEQA requirements of environmental review, and compliance with any mitigation measures required. - Project will have to follow federal, state, and local guidelines for development, including conditions set by the American Disabilities Act. - Project will have to follow federal, state, and local guidelines for the handling of liquid and solid waste.

Applicant and/or Project Name: Chico-Cal, Youth Soccer Complex B. Project No. (If applicable) and AP No.: 007-010-037 and 007-420-053 C. Address of Applicant and Representative (if applicable): David Donnan, Chico- Cal Soccer Club, 1228 Browning Ave., Chico, CA. 95926 Greg Melton, ARCADEME, 1037 Park Ave., Chico, 95928 D. Project Description and Location: Additional project description and area description can be found in the data sheet at the end of this document. If. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 1. Earth. Will the proposal result in: a. Unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not result in unstable earth conditions or changes in the geologic substructure due to the nature of the project that does not appreciably change the site and the flat topography of the existing site. Mitigation: None required. b. Disruptions, displacements, compaction or overcovering of the soil? Yes No Maybe X Response: The proposal could result in the overcovering of the soil for access, parking area and small building pads, but this will not be significant given that it will be a small percentage of the site(under 5%). The parking and pathways will intially be crushed rock that meets ADA accessability requirements. Moderate, isolated surfacesoil compaction may occur during the construction phase; however this will be corrected by tilling of the soil before turf and landscaping are installed on the site. Mitigation: None required. c. Substantial change in topography or ground surface relief features? Yes No X Maybe Reponse: The proposal will not significantly affect topography or ground relief features because the property is nearly level and grading will only be done to facilitate site drainage. Mitigation: None required. CHICO - CAL SOCCER COMPLEX 2 d. The destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features? Yes No X Maybe Response: The site has no unique geologic or physical features. Therefore none will be affected by the project. Mitigation: None required. e. Any substantial increase in wind or water erosion of soils, either on or off-site? Yes No X Maybe Response: The current use of the site is agriculture. Approved .zoning for the site is low density residential. The proposed project will decrease wind and water erosion by installing turf over all but a small percent of the site. At approximately 100 plants per square inch this will optimize protecton of the soils from erosion. Off-site erosion will not be increased due to the proposed project which will will have minimal change in run-off; particularly as compared to the existing low density residential zoning approved for the site. The site will be better protected from winds by the planting of .trees along the perimeter of the site. Mitigation: None required. f. Changes in deposition or erosion of beach sands, or changes in siltation, deposition or erosion which may modify the channel of a river or stream or the bed of any lake? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project will result in no increased siltation, deposition or erosion that will modify the closest intermittent streambed of Sycamore Creek. Mitigation: None required. g. Loss of prime agriculturally productive soils outside designated urban areas? Yes No X Maybe Response: The current zoning for the site is low density housing development inside the designated urban area. The project will preserve potentially productive soils. Mitigation: None required. h. Exposure of people or property to geologic hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, mud-slides, ground failure, or similar hazards? Yes No X Maybe Response: The Butte County Seismic Safety Element does not indicate any faults in the area and the risk of ground rupture in the event of a seismic event is remote. However, all of Butte County is still classified as a Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII and potential ground shaking is possible. There is no proposed development in the project area that will be a hazard to people as a result of the noted hazards. Mitigation: None required. CHICO - CAL SOCCER COMPLEf • 3 2. Air. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal should not affect air quality because the increase in the number of net vehicle trips is to and from the area should not be significant as compared to the previously approved R-1 development for the area. If use is higher-than anticipated, the proposed project could result in a cumulative impact on air quality created by increased traffic generated by the project. The California Air Resources Control Board has identified Butte County as a Non-attainment Area in meeting the standards of the California Air Quality Act. The Butte County Air Pollution Control Plan does not address air quality impacts of small developments for possible mitigation measures. Also any increase in air emissions will be insignificant as compared to those from State highway 99 bordering the project and the project parking area to the west. Mitigation: None required. b. The creation of objectionable odors? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not create objectionable odors, smoke or fumes. Mitigation: None required. C. Alteration of air movement, moisture, temperature, or any change in climate, whether locally or regionally?

Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements, in fresh waters? Yes No X Maybe Response: There area no water courses on the project site and therefore no impacts will occur to change the current or course of any fresh waters. Mitigation: None required. b. Substantial changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff on-site or into any water body? Yes No X Maybe CkO - CAL SOCCER COMPLEI • 4 Stormwater management strategies will be developed and incorporated into the project as mitigation measures to decrease stormwater discharge off-site. Adherence to drainage standards of the Butte County Public Works Department is anticipated to mitigate possible impacts to the drainage system. Mitigation:ion: Adherence to the drainage standards of the Butte County Public Works Department. c. Need for off-site surface drainage improvements, including vegetation removal, channelization or culvert installation? Yes No X Maybe Response: Contrary to the effects of the current zoning, no off-site surface drainage improvements are needed because the increase in runoff generated by the project will not be significant, if any. Any site run off will be accommodated by the existing drainage system. Mitigation: None required. d. Alterations to the course or flow of flood waters? Yes No X Maybe . Response: No substantial grade change will occur as a result of this project, therefore it will not alter the course or flow of flood waters. Mitigation: None required. e. Discharge into surface waters, or in any alteration or surface water quality, including, but not limited to, temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity? Yes. No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not affect surface water quality. Any run off will be decreased in turbidity as compared to existing run off due to turf growing on over 80%of the proposed project site. Any water run off will be better in quality than what it would be for the existing, approved zoning for housing. Mitigation: None required. f. Alteration of the direction of rate of flow of ground waters? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not affect the direction or flow of ground waters. Mitigation: None required. h. Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal should not directly negatively affect any ground water or aquifer. An on-site well draws water from a water reservoir under the site. Withdrawals as a result of this project will be roughly comparable the current withdrawals for agricultural activity. Withdrawls will be less than if the site was develop under its current housing subdivision zoning. Mitigation: None required. `CHICO - CAL SOCCER COMPLEX • 5 i. Substantial reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies? Yes No X Maybe Response: Project will not use public water supplies. A substantial reduction in public water supplies will not occur as a result of project approval. Mitigation: None required. j. Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding? Yes No X Maybe Response:The project site Js-located outside the 100'year,floodplain. The site will be graded to drain away from any improvements or structures, into the adjacent drainage system canal to the west as it now does. There is no exposure of people or property to water related hazards. Mitigation: None required. 4. Plant Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species, or number of any native species of plants (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops and aquatic plants)? Yes No Maybe X Response: The current use is agriculture...row crops, providing limited environment for native species. The proposed project will incorporate some additional native vegetative species in its design. Mitigation: None required. b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of plants? Yes No X Maybe Resgonse: The property does not contain habitat that would support any unique, rare or endangered plant species and therefore the project could not affect any such species. Mitigation: None required. c. Introduction of new species of plants into an area of native vegetation, or in a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species? Yes No . X Maybe Response: Current agrigulturaltuse does not accomodate native vegetation, some native vegetation will be added to the site via this project. Mitigation: None required. d. Substantial reduction in acreage of any agricultural crop? Yes No X Maybe Response: This project will result in the loss of approximately 20 acres of agricultural land, but it is in an area zoned for future housing development as specified by the North Chico Specific Plan, CSA 87. Mitigation: None required. CHICO - CAL SOCCER COMPLEf • 6 5. Animal Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species or numbers of any species of animals (birds, land animals, reptiles, fish, shellfish, benthic organisms or insects)?

J MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Chair and Board of Supervisors FROM: Stephen Betts, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Appeal of Minor Use Permit for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club DATE: January 14, 1997 SUMMARY: This item was continued from the June 11, 1996 Board of Supervisors meeting to allow the applicant time to find another location for his project. DISCUSSION:This project, which is for a use permit for a five-field soccer complex located at the end of Sycamore Drive in the North Chico area, was last before.the Board of Supervisors on June 11, 1996. At that meeting, the Board's general consensus was that the location of the project was not compatible with the area and that the applicant should try to find another location for the soccer field complex. The Board continued the project until January 28, 1997, in order to allow the applicant time to find another location. The applicant has not found another location as of this date. The applicant has stated that he is willing to withdrawal the application if the Board of Supervisors would approve a refund of the application fees. The applicant has paid $1,788.00 in fees. The applicant represents the Chico-Cal Soccer Club, which is an IRS- approved non-profit organization. The applicant stated that he will formally request a refund of his fees at the January 28, 1997 Board of Supervisors meeting. If the refund request is not granted by the Board, the applicant would like the Board to take action on this project. A brief history of this project is in order to bring the Board up to date on this project. This project is for a five-field soccer complex which would be used exclusively by the Chico-Cal Soccer Club. The club is comprised of 17 youth teams. The heaviest use of the soccer complex would occur on Saturdays, May through August, when league games would be played. There would be a significant amount of vehicle traffic generated by the soccer complex. The intersections of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane and Hicks Lane and Sycamore Drive would be heavily impacted by the numerous vehicles when the soccer complex is in use. In addition, Sycamore Drive is a narrow road, although one of the conditions of the project would require the applicant to enlarge it. This project was before the Butte County Planning Commission twice, and the.Planning Commission approved this project at its March 28, 1996 meeting. That decision was then appealed to the Board of Supervisors by a person living in the project area. The Board of Supervisors considered the appeal at its regular meeting of May 14, 1996. At that meeting, ■ Butte County ■ Department of Development Services ■ 1 ti o the Board requested that this project be continued until June 11 so that additional information regarding traffic impacts, roadway improvements, and users of the soccer complex could be provided to the Board. At the June 11, 1996 meeting, the Board continued the appeal until January 28, 1997. The general consensus of the Board at the June 11 meeting was that the project was not an appropriate use for the area, and would cause too many impacts to the neighborhood and to the streets in the project area. The Board recommended that the applicant try to find another location..forlhe-soccer complex.------ The staff report for the May 14 Board of Supervisors meeting and the memo to the Board for the June 11 meeting are attached to this memo. It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors at its January 28, 1997 meeting consider directing the Department of Development Services to refund the fees paid by the applicant for this project. If the refund is approved,the applicant will formally withdraw his application and no further action is necessary on the part of the Board. If the Board determines that the applicant'should not be refunded his fees, it is recommended that the Board make a motion to approve this appeal, which will deny the project. encl: Staff report to the Board dated April 29, 1996 Memo to the Board dated May 30, 1996 K:\ P co jec�-s� bos net, .vncv+1 . ■ Butte County ■ Department of Development Services ■ 2 i AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Chair and Board of Sup "sons FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Planning Manage BY: Stephen Betts,Assistant Plann - - DATE: April 29, 1996 REQUEST: Use Permit for Chico-Cal Soccer Club on APN 007-010-037 and 007-420-053(UP 96-06): A request for a Use Permit to allow a five-field soccer complex located on the north side of, Sycamore Drive, and adjacent to Hwy. 99, Chico. The property is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential). This project is located in Supervisorial District 3. RELATED ITEMS: North Chico Specific Plan FOR: Board of Supervisors Meeting of May 14, 1996 SUMMARY: This application is for a Use Permit to allow a 20-acre soccer complex.The soccer complex will consist of five soccer fields, a warm-up field, a 160 space parking lot, picnic areas, a children's play area, and a temporary overflow parking lot. The project site is located in the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP area)and is in a R-1 zone. The Butte County Planning Commission heard this application during two of it's regular meetings,March 28 and April 11, 1996. The staff report for the Planning Commission and the minutes of the two Commission meetings are attached to this report. At the April 11 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 3 to 1 to approve the project, subject to 23 conditions.The Commission's decision was subsequently appealed to the Board of Supervisors. PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS: This project is for a Use Permit to allow a five-field soccer complex on 20 acres of land located at the west end of Sycamore Drive,adjacent to Hwy. 99. The project site is located on two parcels with a total of 51 acres, but the soccer complex will only cover 20 acres of the project site.One residential dwelling unit with accessory buildings is located on one of the parcels. A trucking company is also operated out of this residence. The only access to the project site is from Sycamore Drive. Highway 99 and a Shasta Union Drainage District ditch make up the west boundary of the project site. The northern boundary of the project site is the levee of Mud and Sycamore Creeks. The project site is currently in agricultural production. Several wells are located on the project site. The site is zoned R-1 (1.1 to 4 dwelling units per acre), and is designated by the North Chico Specific Plan as Low Density Residential (1 to 6 dwelling units per acre). Surrounding parcels are zoned R-1 and OS (Open Space), and have a Specific Plan designation of Low Density Residential and Agricultural-Residential. Surrounding parcels range in size from .78 acres to 48 acres,with the predominate size being 1 acre. The surrounding land use is suburban residential, agricultural, and open space. The soccer complex will not be open to the general public for use. All games and practice times will be managed by the Chico-Cal Soccer Club. A mobile concession stand will be used on Saturdays. Maximum use of the soccer complex will occur on Saturdays, and a few adult games will be held on Sundays. Soccer practice may occur during the weekdays. Scheduled games will be played at the soccer complex during two soccer seasons: March through May, and September through November. ANALYSIS:This project has many areas of concern,specifically, compatibility with the zoning and with the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP), and the problems that vehicle traffic generated by the project may cause. These are the two primary reasons the decision was appealed to the Board of Supervisors. Zoning, Butte County General Plan. and North Chico Specific Plan Concerns A question has been raised as to if the soccer complex is an allowed use in the R-1 zone. The soccer use is considered a quasi-public use as defined in the zoning ordinance,Butte County Code Section 24-305.450. The project site is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential) and is designated by the Land Use Element Map of the Butte County General Plan as Low Density Residential.The general plan designation of Low Density Residential lists outdoor recreational facilities and public and quasi-public uses as allowed uses. The R-1 zoning was established by the North Chico General Plan (NCSP),which was adopted by the Butte County Board of Supervisors on March 28, 1995. The R-1 zoning regulation, ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 1 s as defined in the NCSP(page 7-10),does not state that public or quasi-public uses are an allowed used. However,the R-1 zoning of the Butte County Zoning Ordinance (Section 24-120.D.2) states that public and quasi-public use are an allowed use with a conditional use permit. It is staffs interpretation that the R-1 regulations in the NCSP were meant to be identical to the regulations as found in the Section 24 Zoning Ordinance. To list all of the uses within the standard zones in the specific plan would be redundant. Some examples of items that are in the Zoning Ordinance but not in the NCSP R-1 zoning regulation are as follows: Guest house General agricultural Small family day care facilities for 1 to 6 children Licensed family,foster or group homes with 6 or fewer individuals Large family day care facilities for 7 to 12 children Second dwelling units under Section 24-280 Temporary mobile home (Aunt Minnie) Bed and breakfast homes Home occupations Temporary travel trailer during construction In fact the NCSP text indicates" Development standards include the County Zoning Ordinance requirements, as well as general development standards specific to the NCSP." Based upon this interpretation quasi-public uses are allowed in the R-1 zone, as well as the NCSP R-1 zone subject to the approval of a Use Permit. Vehicle Traffic There were many concerns by the Planning Commission and homeowners in the area regarding the problems that vehicle traffic generated by the soccer complex will cause. One issue was the number of vehicle trips that would be generated. Staff concluded, based on the Cal-Soccer League game schedule from last year, which averaged ten games per day, that approximately 600 vehicle trips (300 in, 300 out) will be generated per Saturday by the soccer complex use. This number was derived by multiplying the number of players on a team (15) by the average number of teams that will play during the course of a day(20). 600 vehicle trips per day amounts to an average of 67 vehicle trips per hour over the nine-hour game schedule. If each player arrives in a single vehicle,then the 600 vehicle trips will be representative of an average day. However, the 600 vehicle trips does not take into account car pooling, team members missing a game, or canceled games. According to the game schedule from last year,an average of eight teams came from out of the Chico area. These teams can be expected to car pool,thus reducing the number of vehicle trips. In addition,teams in the Chico area will also car pool,but the extent of car pooling can not be accurately determined. The Cal-Chico Soccer Club has stated that last year's game schedule will be similar to the game schedule for the soccer complex. A condition of this use permit prohibits the Cal-Soccer Club from increasing the number of teams in the club until such time as improvements to the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane,as stated in the North Chico Specific Plan,are accomplished. The streets and intersections in the area will be impacted to varying degrees by the soccer complex. The soccer complex is located at the end of Sycamore Drive,which is a very narrow road. A condition of this project requires that the applicant improve Sycamore Drive to County Standard RS-36. This standard requires the road to have a paved width of 28 feet. Improvement of Sycamore Drive to this standard would allow vehicle traffic to safely travel on Sycamore Drive. The original proposal by the applicant was to use the full length of Sycamore Drive and then turn into the soccer complex. Due to the cost of improving the full length of Sycamore Drive and due to the concerns of homeowners living at the end of Sycamore Drive, the applicant proposed several access options at the Planning Commission meeting on April 11. The option that the Planning Commission approved was to access the soccer complex approximately 1,200 feet from Hicks Lane and improve Sycamore Drive to that point. A private road built to County Road Standard RS-8-LD3 would then take vehicles to the soccer complex. This would result in two roads side- by-side for approximately 725 feet,but it would get the vehicle traffic off of Sycamore Drive at the earliest possible point. The applicant has stated that this is not the preferred option,and would still like to use the full length of Sycamore Drive. The intersections of Sycamore Drive/Hicks Lane and Hicks Lane/Eaton Road will not be significantly impacted by vehicle traffic. Currently,traffic use at the intersection of Sycamore Drive and Hicks Lane is low,so impacts will be minimal. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 2 I Projected traffic at buildout of the NCSP will be LOS C for that intersection. The intersection of Hicks Lane and Eaton Road, and the adjacent intersection of Eaton Road and the northbound offramp/onramp of Highway 99,does see a large amount of vehicle traffic. A one-hour traffic count of this intersection conducted by staff on a Saturday showed that vehicle traffic at this intersection is flowing at a level of service of"C"or better. No unusually long delays were observed. Most of the vehicle traffic generated by the soccer complex will use this intersection. The addition of 67 more vehicles per hour on this intersection will not have a significant impact to the intersection. 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. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS: This application requires that a public hearing be advertised and held. Public notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot radius of the subject property. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the application for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club on APNs 007-010-037 &007-420-053, subject to the following findings and conditions in the attached Exhibit"A."

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Chair and Board of Supervisors FROM: Stephen Betts,Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Minor Use Permit for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club DATE: May 30, 1996 SUMMARY: Additional information on this project is provided as requested DISCUSSION:The Board of Supervisors considered this project at its regular meeting of May 14, 1996. The Board requested that this project be continued until June 11 so that additional information regarding traffic impacts, roadway improvements, and who will be using the soccer fields could be provided to the Board. Game Schedule and Participants A document supplied by the applicant shows that 20 games could be played at the soccer complex on a Saturday at maximum use (see attached schedule). The start time of games are staggered,with two games starting at one time and then three games starting one hour later. That schedule is then repeated three more times. The heaviest vehicle traffic will occur when three games start at the same time or when three games end at the same time. The attached game schedule is only an example of what could be played at the soccer complex. It does not necessarily mean that 20 games will be played each Saturday. A field schedule from last September's game schedule showed that from seven to ten games were played during the course of a day. The applicant has indicated that the schedule for the soccer complex will be similar to past schedules. There is currently no condition of this project that restricts the number of games that could be played during a single day at the soccer complex or the starting times of those games. There is a condition of this project that limits the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to the current number of teams that are now in the club,which is 17, until such time as roadway improvements to the intersection of Eaton and Hicks are completed. The reason for this condition was to try to limit the number of games that could be played by limiting the number of teams in the club. However,it may be difficult for the County to monitor this condition and may place an undue burden on the soccer club. Staff recommends that this condition be removed. Conditions could be placed on this project that limit the number of games played during a single day and that specify the exact start times of those games. However, conditions such as these may hamper the ability of the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to efficiently schedule games at the complex. Staff recommends;though, that a condition be placed on the project that limits the number of games to start at any one time to no more than two, and that at least one hour passes before any other games start. Monitoring of this mitigation can be accomplished by requiring the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to submit the game schedule for each three-month soccer season, at prior to the season start,to the Planning Division for review and approval. There will be two soccer seasons of three months each - March through May, and September through November. Heaviest use of the soccer complex will occur on Saturdays during the soccer seasons. Participants of the soccer games on Saturdays will be youths, ages 12 to 17. The applicant has stated that an adult league will play on Sundays, but this league only has six teams and will use a 4-hour block of time in the midday. The soccer complex will be open to Chico-Cal Soccer Club teams for practice every day throughout the year. There is currently no condition of this project that limits the hours of operation of the soccer complex. There Butte County. Department of Development Services. 1 i r is a condition that prohibits night lighting of the playing fields, so complex use will be during daylight hours only. The attached schedule supplied by the applicant does show the first dame starting at 8:30 am, and the last games starting at 3:30 pm,which will end at about 5:30 pm. A condition could be placed on this project that limits the hours of operation from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, or something similar. There have been concerns raised about the Chico Rooks, which is a professional soccer team, using the soccer complex for practice or for games. There is currently no condition of the project that restricts the use of the soccer complex to non-profit teams only. A condition could be added to this project that allows only non- profit soccer teams to use the soccer complex. Traffic Impacts Traffic impacts to the roads in the project area will vary depending on the road, intersection,and the number of games played in a day. Staff conducted a one-hour traffic count at the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane (which included traffic exiting and entering Highway 99), and at the intersection of Hicks Lane and Sycamore Drive. The traffic count was conducted on a Saturday, between the hours of 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Traffic data in the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP)shows that the level of service (LOS)during a weekday at peak hour at the intersection of Eaton Road, Highway 99 on/off ramps, and Hicks Lane is A, B, or C, depending on the vehicle movement. The level of service designations range from A to F, with A being unimpeded traffic flow and F being gridlock. The NCSP states that traffic on all streets within the Plan area should not exceed a level of service C,and in no case shall the LOS exceed D. The following tables show the traffic movements and the number of vehicles counted during peak hour,which were obtained from the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the NCSP, and one-hour traffic counts conducted by staff on a Saturday. North Bound Highway 99 Offramp at Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Right tum onto Eaton 145 94 Left turn onto Eaton 130 /LOS C 107 East Bound Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Straight 234 109 Left tum onto SR99 0 22 Left tum onto Hicks 123 /LOS A 70 ' West Bound Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Straight 204 147 .

Department of Development Services. 2 South Bound Hicks Lane Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Left tum onto Eaton 11 /LOS B 31 Right tum onto Eaton 92 82 Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour count Saturday 1 hour count Total 1,004 692 The data in the above table shows that there is approximately 31% (or 312 vehicles) less vehicle traffic using these intersections during a Saturday than during peak hour. During the peak hour,the level of service never drops below a C for any vehicle movement. The traffic generated by the playing of approximately ten games at the soccer complex in a single day will not generate more traffic than these intersections currently see during peak hours. Staff has concluded that if each player arrives in his own vehicle,each game played will generate approximately 60 vehicle trips(30 in and 30 out). If three games start at the same time, as the game schedule shows,there could be approximately 90 vehicles using the roads and intersections in the project area within a very short time period. This could lead to short-term impacts to traffic circulation in the area. Arrival times of participants will vary slightly because some will arrive early,while others will arrive just in time for the game. Each game is scheduled for a two-hour period, but the games will end at slightly different times due to differences in play time. Some participants will leave as soon as the game is finished,while others may delay their departure. If three games get out at exactly the same time,there could be short-term impacts to the roads in the area,especially at the intersections of Sycamore Drive and Hicks Lane, and Eaton Road and Hicks Lane. At these two intersections, numerous vehicles will be wanting to make a right turn, and delays could occur. The amount of traffic generated per hour due to the soccer complex is difficult to accurately determine due to: The unknown game schedules-How many games will be played each Saturday is unknown. If ten games are played there will not be a significant impact to vehicle circulation. If 17 games are played (which is the number of teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club) there could be significant short-term impacts to vehicle circulation. The unknown start times of the games - The times that games will be started is unknown. The attached schedule shows that two games will start and then an hour later three more games will start, with this schedule repeating itself three more times. This schedule will generate approximately 60 vehicles the first hour,then 90 vehicles the next hour. However,the applicant has indicated that the attached schedule is just an example of the number of games that could be played at the soccer complex in one day,and does not represent an accurate schedule of what will be played at the soccer complex. The time of arrival and departure of participants is unknown -Some participants will arrive early for practice,while others will arrive just in time for the game. This will spread out the arrival times of the vehicles,thus lessening the impacts to vehicle circulation. After a game ends,some participants will leave right away,while others may stay awhile to watch other games or to socialize. The amount of car pooling that will occur is unknown - There is no way to accurately estimate the amount of carpooling that will occur. A number of teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club come from out of the Chico area (Gridley, Paradise, Oroville), and can be expected to carpool. Teams from the Chico area can also be expected to carpool, but on a lesser basis. Any carpooling that is done will lessen the impacts to the streets and intersections in the project area. Butte County. Department of Development Services. 3 Roadway Improvements The North Chico Specific Plan states that numerous improvements will be made to existing roads and intersections to improve the traffic flow in the Plan area. The Plan establishes the following roadway improvements: Hicks 1. Hicks Lane is proposed to upgraded to an arterial street(2 lanes) 2. Realign the intersection of Hicks and Eaton, moving the intersection to Silverbell Road. / Eaton Road Eaton Road is currently planned as a four lane arterial Eaton Road will require widening to four lanes,with widening of the SR 99 overpass and modifications of the interchange at this location. Both this widening to four lanes and interchange modifications are planned improvements of the City of Chico and County of Butte and are to be funded through the Chico Urban Area Street Facility Fees. Eaton/SR99 (SB ramps) Install signal Add EB thru lane Add WB left turn lane Eaton/SR 99 (NB ramps-Hicks) Install signal Restrict Hicks to right turn in and out only Add second right turn lane on SB Hicks Add EB and WB thru lane on Eaton Add WB right turn lane on Eaton Add EB left turn lane on Eaton These roadway improvements are considered to be sufficient to meet the traffic circulation needs of the Plan area. There is no time frame for when these roadway improvements will be accomplished. Improvements will occur as development occurs and as funding allows. Funding for these road improvements will come from North Chico Specific Plan impact fees, Mello-Roos districts, Chico Urban Area Street Facility fees, and from the City of Chico. Fees for new development in the Plan area are assessed on a per-unit or square footage basis, depending on the number of daily vehicle trips that a use generates. As an example,the Plan states that a dwelling unit in a R-1 zone will be assessed approximately$1,035,while a commercial unit will be assessed approximately$4.85 per square foot. The fees that are listed in the Plan are,currently under review and may be revised. The Plan does not address the cost to be charged for a use such as the soccer complex. If the Board determines that fees should be charged due to the soccer complex use,there are various means to accomplish this. As a condition of this project,the applicant will be required to improve Sycamore Drive to a width of 24 ft.,from Hicks Lane to the access road for the soccer complex. Improving Sycamore Drive will allow vehicle to travel safely to and from the soccer complex. Another condition of this project requires that the applicant pay a pro- rata share for a left turn pocket on Hicks Lane at Sycamore. Butte County.

The Chico Area Recreation and Park District (CARD) Board of Directors has been following the news reports on this-proposed Soccer Complex since it first was reported last year. Almost at the same time Mr. Donnon started working toward acquiring the Garner property,' CARD began negotiations for our newly acquired 24 acre DeGarmo Community Park which is across Hwy. 99 from the Garner property. We -have been in contact with the Chico Community Soccer groups, Little Leagues.and Adult sport groups to gain their support for the development of this 11 new north Chico area Community Park . This new park presently only has people living next door on the south side and is bordered on the east and west by Hwy. 99 and The Esplanade..,We would like to acquire an additional 10-12 acres just north of th,e,park which W. ould provide the Chico Community with a 35 acre park similar-in size.,to th6 southern, CARD Community Park off of 20th Street. There has been no neighborhood opposition. In fact, the neighborhood is very much in support of this new park land. `' On the other hand, there has been neighborhood opposition to the development of a Soccer Complex on the.Garner property. Furthermore, there is a need for all the Chico Area Comniun`ity Sport Groups to work together to develop additional field space for,-all our Youth, Adults and Seniors to play organized sports. The CARD Board of Directors, and staff, stand ready to work with Mr. Donnon, as part of the soccer community, to development the new!CARD DeGarmo Park and urge the Board of Supervisors to suppoft:;the development of this north Chico Community Park.

Mrs. Kizziar lives with her family at 200 Sycamore Drive,Chico,California.Mrs.Kizziar's home is across the street from the property where the Cal Soccer Club plans to construct a soccer complex. Mrs. Kizziar,as do most of her neighbors, oppose the construction of the proposed soccer complex as intended by the Cal Soccer Club.The reasons for Mrs.Kizziar's objection to the proposed soccer complex are as outlined below: 1. Traffic Problems. The roads and intersections in this area are not capable of safely handling the traffic generated by the proposed use of this property. Sycamore Drive is a very narrow,rural road.The intersections of Sycamore Drive/Hicks Lane and Eaton Road/Hicks Lane do not have traffic signals. Also,there is no left turn lanes on Hicks Lane for Sycamore Drive and on Eaton Road for Hicks Lane. The access to Hicks Lane from the northbound off-ramp of Highway 99 is very awkward since the off-ramp and the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks lAne is located within approximately 100'of each other. It is my client's position that the number of vehicle trips estimated in the Agenda Report prepared for the March 28, 1996 Planning Commission meeting of 1,200 vehicle trips per day is low.The estimate stated in the Agenda Report did not take into account travel to the complex by coaches,referees,friends,family, and other spectators traveling to the complex to watch games. By adding in these additional spectators,my client estimates that the number of vehicle trips into the area in 1 day will exceed 1,400. In the event the Supervisors deny this appeal and approve the project,my client requests that additional conditions be attached to the use permit requiring the Cal Soccer Club to install left-hand turn lanes and traffic signals at the Eaton Road/Hicks Lane and Hicks Lane/Sycamore Drive intersections. My client would also request that the Cal Soccer Club be required to improve the full length of Sycamore Drive to County Standard RS-3B and not only to the entrance of the site, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ROGER V. 1AIl JOHN 1-13URGHARM ER2IIST S.hmn RODW D.HARP IAw CorpoiRtiOoMtio n law Co rpmhOn J A u 2 7 1997 lawCotporatian JAN-27-97 MON 04 :09 PM BUTTE CO ADMINISTRATION 9165387120 P. 03 • January 23, 1997 Butte County Board of Supervisors Page INvo 2. Farlsing. The 160-space parldnS requirement for the complex is not adequate. Since the proposed complex would include 5 playing fields and each team would field 15 players, 2 coaches, and 1 referee per team, this could amount to 180 cars for each game. Also, the participants for the next game will be arriving prior to the end of the previous game and will need parking spaces prior to the end of the previous game.With only 160 spaces available,many people will seek parking on Sycamore Drive. This will create hazardous conditions for children and spectators accessing the complex and unwanted congestion for the residence of the area. If the Board of Supervisors approves the complex and denies the appeal, my client requests that the use permit be conditioned upon 300 parking spaces be required for the complex. These additional spaces will encutre that-the users of the.complex not park on Sycamore Drive. 3. hand Use.The proposed project site is located within the sphere of influence of the North Chico Specific Plan ("NCSP"). A great deal of time and effort was put into the planning of the NCSP by many professionals and residents of the area. The plan goals of the NCSP were generally to create a functional and attractive residential community,integrated with open space, parks and recreational amenities,and development of a traffic circulation system providing for efficient and uncongested movement of vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists with minimum intrusion upon the rural and residential character of the area.The use of this property as a soccer cort►plex is completely contrary to the goals and requirements of the NCSP. The project site is zoned R-1 (low-density residential). Other sites in the area of the NCSP have been zoned for recreational uses.The granting of this use permit for the soccer complex will severely jeopardize the overall goals of the NCSP. The functionality and attractiveness of the residential community will be jeopardized. Traffic patterns in the area will be altered causing inefficient and congested movement of vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. Additionally, the financing of the plan area could be jeopardized. The loss of 20 acres of land for low-density residential use could amount to the loss of approximately 80 single-family houses.This will result in an increase in unit fees for other homes built in the NCSP area for required new infrastructure such as roads, water and sewer systems, new schools or to improve the existing infrastructure. This financing aspect was carefully considered in the NCSP so as to properly balance residential uses with the integration of open-space parks and recreational areas.The addition of 20 acres of land devoted to recrrAiiontai use Mid the potentikl development of the aajoinittg 30 acres, which the Cal Soccer Club has an option to purchase, for recreational use will cause the financing program of the NCSP to be unbalanced. 4. Noise. The noise generated by participants and spectators at the soccer complex will greatly decrease the attractiveness of the residential community.Although most of the noise will occur only during non-sleeping hours, noise during such hours stili decreases the attractiveness of the residential aspect of the area for outside uses of such properties during the day. In the event the Board of Supervisors approves this use permit and denies the appeal, my client requests that the use permit be conditioned upon appropriate landscaping be planted on the boarder of the property to reduce noise beitlg transmitted to the surrounding residences. -� PIUN 04 : 10 PM BUTTE CO ADMINISTRATION 916538?120 P- 04 o • January 23, 1997 Butte County Board of Supervisors Page Three 5, Drainne.As noted in the Agenda Report,the site will be leveled allowing water to run off more quickly, severely affecting the local drainage facilities. Currently,Sycamore Drive floods during heavy rain periods.Any additional run off would only increased this problem.This aspect of the project should be given strong consideration in,determining the Cal Soccer Club's solution to the problem of additional run off from the site. 6. Safety nod Security.Thep roposed use of this project will cause a great number of 4 additional people to visit this area. Such visitors may return to this area during hours that the soccer complex is not in use.These visitors may return to the project site to use the complex for are recreational activities. These users also may return*to this a for purposes of committing vandalism,graffiti tagging,and other-similar violations of the law.These additional probable uses f. of the project site will greatly decrease the attractiveness of the surrounding residential { community.If the Board of Supervisors decides to approve the use permit and denies the appeal, my client requests that a condition be attached to the use permit requiring the Cal Soccer Club to completely fence the total border of the complex and cause it to be locked during times when it is not in use by the Cal Soccer Club.This will reduce the use of the property for the unanticipated purposes specified above. It is my client's belief and that of Dave Donnan, representative for Cal Soccer Club (according to a conversation Mr. Donnan had with my client), that there exists more suitable locations for the planned soccer'complex. This letter, in support of my client's appeal of Use Permit 96-06, is respectfully submitted. If any of the Supervisors should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. ours, .'LP RO T D.

A. The request for a use permit is provided for in the Zoning Ordinance, Section 24- 120.D.2, public and quasi-public uses in a R-1 zone; and B. The proposed use of the property may impair the integrity and character of the zoning district in which the land lies because the large numbers of vehicle traffic generated by the proposed use will greatly exceed that currently being experienced by the area; and, C. The proposed use of the property may be injurious to surrounding property due to the large numbers of vehicle traffic that will be generated by the proposed use; and D. The proposed use of the property may be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood due to the increase in vehicle traffic that will be generated by the proposed use; and, E. The proposed use of the property may be detrimental to the general health, welfare and safety of the County due to the large numbers of vehicle traffic that the proposed use will generate. Section 2: Action. A. Subject to the findings provided in this Exhibit A, move to deny the Use Permit 96-06 for a five field soccer complex for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club on APN 007- 010-037 and 007-420-053. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services■ 1 i. MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Chair and Board of Supervisors - --- - -- V FROM: Stephen Betts, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Appeal of Minor Use Permit for the Chico-Cal SoccerClub DATE: January 14, 1997 SUMMARY: This item was continued from the June 11, 1996 Board of Supervisors meeting to allow the applicant time to find another location for his project. DISCUSSION:This project, which is for a use permit for a five-field soccer complex located at the end of Sycamore Drive in the North Chico area, was last before the Board of Supervisors on June 11, 1996. At that meeting, the Board's general consensus was that the location of the project was not compatible with the area and that the applicant should try to find another location for the soccer field complex. The Board continued the project until January 28, 1997, in order to allow the applicant time to find another location. The applicant has not found another location as of this date. The applicant has stated that he is willing to withdrawal the application if the Board of Supervisors would approve a refund of the application fees. The applicant has paid $1,788.00 in fees. The applicant represents the Chico-Cal Soccer Club, which is an IRS- approved non-profit organization. The applicant stated that he will formally request a refund of his fees at.the January 28, 1997 Board of Supervisors meeting. If the refund request is not granted by the Board, the applicant would like the Board to take action on this project. A brief history of this project is in order to bring the Board up to date on this project. This project is for a five-field soccer complex which would be used exclusively by the Chico-Cal Soccer Club. The club is comprised of 17 youth teams. The heaviest use of the soccer complex would occur on Saturdays, May through August, when league games would be played. There would be a significant amount of vehicle traffic generated by the soccer. complex. The intersections of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane and Hicks Lane and Sycamore Drive would be heavily impacted by the numerous vehicles.when the soccer complex is in use. In addition, Sycamore Drive is a narrow road, although one of the conditions of the project would require the applicant to enlarge it. This project was before the Butte County Planning Commission twice, and the Planning Commission approved this project at its March 28, 1996 meeting. That decision was then appealed to the Board of Supervisors by a person living in the project area. The Board of Supervisors considered the appeal at its regular meeting of May 14, 1996. At that meeting, ■ Butte County ■ Department of Development Services ■ 1 the Board requested that this project be continued until June 11 so that additional information regarding traffic impacts, roadway improvements, and users of the soccer complex could be provided to the Board. At the June 11, 1996 meeting, the Board continued the appeal until January 28, 1997. The general consensus of the Board at the June 11 meeting was that the project was not an appropriate use for the area, and would cause too many impacts to the neighborhood and to the streets in the project area. The Board.recommended that the applicant try to find another location.-for..the-soccer complex,--; The staff report for the May 14 Board of Supervisors meeting and the memo to the Board for the June 11 meeting are attached to this memo. It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors at its January 28, 1997 meeting consider directing the Department of Development Services to refund the fees paid by the applicant for this project. If the refund is approved,the applicant will formally withdraw his application and no further action is necessary on the part of the Board. If the Board determines that the applicant should not be refunded his fees, it is recommended that the Board make a motion to approve this appeal, which will deny the project. encl: Staff report to the Board dated April 29, 1996 Memo to the Board dated May 30, 1996 K:� Pt'ojec-�rs� �poSneW.v�cw� ■ Butte County ■ Department of Development Services ■ 2 MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Chair and Board of Supervisors FROM: Stephen Betts,Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Minor Use Permit for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club DATE: May 30, 1996 SUMMARY: Additional information on this project is provided as requested DISCUSSION:The Board of Supervisors considered this project at its regular meeting of May 14, 1996. The Board requested that this project be continued until June 11 so that additional information regarding traffic impacts, roadway improvements, and who will be using the soccer fields could be provided to the Board. Game Schedule and Participants A document supplied by the applicant shows that 20 games could be played at the soccer complex on a Saturday at maximum use (see attached schedule). The start time of games are staggered,with two games starting at one time and then three games starting one hour later. That schedule is then repeated three more times. The heaviest vehicle traffic will occur when three games start at the same time or when three games end at the same time. The attached game schedule is only an example of what could be played at the soccer complex. It does not necessarily mean that 20 games will be played each Saturday. A field schedule from last September's game schedule showed that from seven to ten games were played during the course of a day. The applicant has indicated that the schedule for the soccer complex will be similar to past schedules. There is currently no condition of this project that restricts the number of games that could be played during a single day at the soccer complex or the starting times of those games. There is a condition of this project that limits the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to the current number of teams that are now in the club,which is 17, until such time as roadway improvements to the intersection of Eaton and Hicks are completed. The reason for this condition was to try to limit the number of games that could be played by limiting the number of teams in the club. However,it may be difficult for the County to monitor this condition and may place an undue burden on the soccer club. Staff recommends that this condition be removed. Conditions could be placed on this project that limit the number of games played during a single day and that specify the exact start times of those games. However, conditions such as these may hamper the ability of the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to efficiently schedule games at the complex. Staff recommends, though, that a condition be placed on the project that limits the number of games to start at any one time to no more than two, and that at least one hour passes before any other games start. Monitoring of this mitigation can be accomplished by requiring the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to submit the game schedule for each three-month soccer season, at prior to the season start,to the Planning Division for review and approval. There will be two soccer seasons of three months each - March through May, and September through November. Heaviest use of the soccer complex will occur on Saturdays during the soccer seasons. Participants of the soccer games on Saturdays will be youths, ages 12 to 17. The applicant has stated that an adult league will play on Sundays, but this league only has six teams and will use a 4-hour block of time in the midday. The soccer complex will be open to Chico-Cal Soccer Club teams for practice every day throughout the year. There is currently no condition of this project that limits the hours of operation of the soccer complex. There Butte County. Department of Development Services . 1 is a condition that prohibits night lighting of the playing fields, so complex use will be during daylight hours only. The attached schedule supplied by the applicant does show the first game starting at 8:30 am, and the last games starting at 3:30 pm,which will end at about 5:30 pm. A condition could be placed on this project that limits the hours of operation from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, or something similar. There have been concerns raised about the Chico Rooks, which is a professional soccer team, using the soccer complex for practice or for games. There is currently no condition of the project that restricts the use of the soccer complex to non-profit teams only. A condition could be added to this project that allows only non- profit soccer teams to use the soccer complex. Traffic Impacts Traffic impacts to the roads in the project area will vary depending on the road,intersection,and the number of games played in a day. Staff conducted a one-hour traffic count at the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane (which includedAraffic•exiting and entering Highway 99), and at the intersection of Hicks Lane and Sycamore Drive. The traffic count was conducted on a Saturday, between the hours of 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Traffic data in the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP)shows that the level of service (LOS)during a weekday at peak hour at the intersection of Eaton Road, Highway 99 on/off ramps, and Hicks Lane is A, B, or C, depending on the vehicle movement. The level of service designations range from A to F, with A being unimpeded traffic flow and F being gridlock. The NCSP states that traffic on all streets within the Plan area should not exceed a level of service C,and in no case shall the LOS exceed D. The following tables show the traffic movements and the number of vehicles counted during peak hour,which were obtained from the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the NCSP, and one-hour traffic counts conducted by staff on a Saturday. North Bound Highway 99 Offramp at Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Right turn onto Eaton 145 94 Left tum onto Eaton 130 /LOS C 107 East Bound Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Straight 234 109 Left turn onto SR99 0 22 Left tum onto Hicks 123 /LOS A 70 West Bound Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Straight 204 147 Right tum onto Hicks 3 29 Right tum onto SR99 62 37 Butte County. Department of Development Services. 2 South Bound Hicks Lane Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Left tum onto Eaton 11 /LOS B 31 Right tum onto Eaton 92 82 I I Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour count Saturday 1 hour count Total 1,004 692 The data in the above table shows that there is approximately 31% (or 312 vehicles) less vehicle traffic using these intersections during a Saturday than during peak hour. During the peak hour,the level of service never -drops below a C for any vehicle movement. The traffic generated by the playing of approximately ten games at the soccer complex in a single day will notgenerate more traffic than these intersections currently see during peak hours. Staff has concluded that if each player armies in his own vehicle,each game played will generate approximately 60 vehicle trips(30 in and 30 out). If three games start at the same time, as the game schedule shows,there could be approximately 90 vehicles using the roads and intersections in the project area within a very short time period. This could lead to short-term impacts to traffic circulation in the area. Arrival times of participants will vary slightly because some will arrive early,while others will arrive just in time for the game. Each game is scheduled for a two-hour period, but the games will end at slightly different times due to differences in play time. Some participants will leave as soon as the game is finished,while others may delay their departure. If three games get out at exactly the same time,there could be short-term impacts to the roads in the area,especially at the intersections of Sycamore Drive and Hicks Lane, and Eaton Road and Hicks Lane. At these two intersections, numerous vehicles will be wanting to make a right turn, and delays could occur. The amount of traffic generated per hour due to the soccer complex is difficult to accurately determine due to: The unknown game schedules-How many games will be played each Saturday is unknown. If ten games are played there will not be a significant impact to vehicle circulation. If 17 games are played (which is the number of teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club) there could be significant short-term impacts to vehicle circulation. The unknown start times of the games - The times that games will be started is unknown. The attached schedule shows that two games will start and then an hour later three more games will start, with this schedule repeating itself three more times. This schedule will generate approximately 60 vehicles the first hour,then 90 vehicles the next hour. However,the applicant has indicated that the attached schedule is just an example of the number of games that could be played at the soccer complex in one day,and does not represent an accurate schedule of what will be played at the soccer complex. The time of arrival and departure of participants is unknown -Some participants will arrive early for practice,while others will arrive just in time for the game. This will spread out the arrival times of the vehicles,thus lessening the impacts to vehicle circulation. After a game ends,some participants will leave right away,while others may stay awhile to watch other games or to socialize. The amount of car pooling that will occur is unknown -There is no way to accurately estimate the amount of carpooling that will occur. A number of teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club come from out of the Chico area (Gridley, Paradise,Oroville), and can be expected to carpool. Teams from the Chico area can also be expected to carpool, but on a lesser basis. Any carpooling that is done will lessen the impacts to the streets and intersections in the project area. Butte County. Department of Development Services. 3 I I, Roadway Improvements The North Chico Specific Plan states that numerous improvements will be made to existing roads and intersections to improve the traffic flow in the Plan area. The Plan establishes the following roadway improvements: Hicks 1.-Hicks Lane is proposed to upgraded to an arterial street(2 lanes) 2. Realign the intersection of Hicks and Eaton, moving the intersection to Silverbell Road. Eaton Road Eaton Road is currently planned as a four lane arterial Eaton Road will require widening to four lanes,with widening of the SR 99 overpass and modifications of the interchange at this location. Both this widening to four lanes and interchange modifications are planned improvements of the City of Chico and County of Butte and are to be funded through the Chico Urban Area Street Facility Fees. Eaton/SR99 (SB ramps) Install signal Add EB thru lane Add WB left turn lane Eaton/SR 99 (NB ramps-Hicks) Install signal Restrict Hicks to right turn in and out only Add second right turn lane on SB Hicks Add EB and WB thru lane on Eaton Add WB right turn lane on Eaton Add EB left turn lane on Eaton These roadway improvements are considered to be sufficient to meet the traffic circulation needs of the Plan area. There is no time frame for when these roadway improvements will be accomplished. Improvements will occur as development occurs and as funding allows. Funding for these road improvements will come from North Chico Specific Plan impact fees, Mello-Roos districts, Chico Urban Area Street Facility fees, and from the City of Chico. Fees for new development in the Plan area are assessed on a per-unit or square footage basis, depending on the number of daily vehicle trips that.a use generates. As an example,the Plan states that a dwelling unit in a R-1 zone will be assessed approximately$1,035,while a commercial unit will be assessed approximately$4.85 per square foot. The fees that are listed in the Plan are currently under review and may be revised. The Plan does not address the cost to be charged for a use such as the soccer complex. If the Board determines that fees should be charged due to the soccer complex use,there are various means to accomplish this. As a condition of this project,the applicant will be required to improve Sycamore Drive to a width of 24 ft.,from Hicks Lane to the access road for the soccer complex. Improving Sycamore Drive will allow vehicle to travel safely to and from the soccer complex. Another condition of this project requires that the applicant pay a pro- rata share for a left turn pocket on Hicks Lane at Sycamore. Butte County.

This project is located in Supervisorial District 3. RELATED ITEMS: North Chico Specific Plan FOR: Board of Supervisors Meefing of May 14, 1996 SUMMARY: This application is for a Use Permit to allow a 20-acre soccer complex.The soccer complex will consist of five soccer fields, a warm-up field, a 160 space parking lot, picnic areas, a children's play area, and a temporary overflow parking lot. The project site is located in the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP area) and is in a R-1 zone. The Butte County Planning Commission heard this application during two of it's regular meetings,March 28 and April 11, 1996. The staff report for the Planning Commission and the minutes of the two Commission meetings are attached to this report. At the April 11 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 3 to 1 to approve the project, subject to 23 conditions.The Commission's decision was subsequently appealed to the Board of Supervisors. PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS: This project is for a Use Permit to allow a five-field soccer complex on 20 acres of land located at the west end of Sycamore Drive, adjacent to Hwy. 99. The project site is located on two parcels with a total of 51 acres,but the soccer complex will only cover 20 acres of the project site.One residential dwelling unit with accessory buildings is located on one of the parcels. A trucking company is also operated out of this residence. The only access to the project site is from Sycamore Drive. Highway 99 and a Shasta Union Drainage District ditch make up the west boundary of the project site. The northern boundary of the project site is the levee of Mud and Sycamore Creeks. The project site is currently in agricultural production. Several wells are located on the project site. The site is zoned R-1 (1.1 to 4 dwelling units per acre), and is designated by the North Chico Specific Plan as Low Density Residential (1 to 6 dwelling units per acre). Surrounding parcels are zoned R-1 and OS (Open Space), and have a Specific Plan designation of Low Density Residential and Agricultural-Residential. Surrounding parcels range in size from .78 acres to 48 acres,with the predominate size being 1 acre. The surrounding land use is suburban residential, agricultural, and open space. The soccer complex will not be open to the general public for use. All games and practice times will be managed by the Chico-Cal Soccer Club. A mobile concession stand will be used on Saturdays. Maximum use of the soccer complex will occur on Saturdays,and a few adult games will be held on Sundays. Soccer practice may occur during the weekdays. Scheduled games will be played at the soccer complex during two soccer seasons: March through May, and September through November. ANALYSIS:This project has many areas of concern,specifically, compatibility with the zoning and with the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP), and the problems that vehicle traffic generated by the project may cause. These are the two primary reasons the decision was appealed to the Board of Supervisors. Zoning, Butte County General Plan. and North Chico Specific Plan Concerns A question has been raised as to if the soccer complex is an allowed use in the R-1 zone. The soccer use is considered a quasi-public use as defined in the zoning ordinance,Butte County Code Section 24-305.450. The project site is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential)and is designated by the Land Use Element Map of the Butte County General Plan as Low Density Residential.The general plan designation of Low Density Residential lists outdoor recreational facilities and public and quasi-public uses as allowed uses. The R-1 zoning was established by the North Chico General Plan (NCSP),which was adopted by the Butte County Board of Supervisors on March 28, 1995. The R-1 zoning regulation, ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 1 as defined in the NCSP(page 7-10),does not state that public or quasi-public uses are an allowed used. However,the R-1 zoning of the Butte County Zoning Ordinance (Section 24-120.D.2)states that public and quasi-public use are an allowed use with a conditional use permit. It is staffs interpretation that the R-1 regulations in the NCSP were meant to be identical to the regulations as found in the Section 24 Zoning Ordinance. To list all of the uses within the standard zones in the specific plan would be redundant. Some examples of items that are in the Zoning Ordinance but not in the NCSP R-1 zoning regulation are as follows: Guest house General agricultural Small family day care facilities for 1 to 6 children Licensed family,foster or group homes with 6 or fewer individuals Large family day care facilities for 7 to 12 children Second dwelling units under Section 24-280 Temporary mobile home (Aunt Minnie) Bed and breakfast homes Home occupations Temporary travel trailer during construction In fact the NCSP text indicates"Development standards include the County Zoning Ordinance requirements,as well as general development standards specific to the NCSP." Based upon this interpretation quasi-public uses are allowed in the,R-1 zone, as well as the NCSP R-1 zone subject to the approval of a Use Permit. Vehicle Traffic There were many concerns by the Planning Commission and homeowners in the area regarding the problems that vehicle traffic generated by the soccer complex will cause. One issue was the number of vehicle trips that would be generated. Staff concluded, based on the Cal-Soccer League game schedule from last year, which averaged ten games per day, that approximately 600 vehicle trips (300 in, 300 out) will be generated per Saturday by the soccer complex use. This number was derived by multiplying the number of players on a team (15) by the average number of teams that will play during the course of a day(20). 600 vehicle trips per day amounts to an average of 67 vehicle trips per hour over the nine-hour game schedule. If each player arrives in a single vehicle,then the 600 vehicle trips will be representative of an average day. However, the 600 vehicle trips does not take into account car pooling,team members missing a game, or canceled games. According to the game schedule from last year,an average of eight teams came from out of the Chico area. These teams can be expected to car pool,thus reducing the number of vehicle trips. In addition,teams in the Chico area will also car pool,but the extent of car pooling can not be accurately determined. The Cal-Chico Soccer Club has stated that last year's game schedule will be similar to the game schedule for the soccer complex. A condition of this use permit prohibits the Cal-Soccer Club from increasing the number of teams in the club until such time as improvements to the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane, as stated in the North Chico Specific Plan, are accomplished. The streets and intersections in the area will be impacted to varying degrees by the soccer complex. The soccer complex is located at the end of Sycamore Drive,which is a very narrow road. A condition of this project requires that the applicant improve Sycamore Drive to County Standard RS-3B. This standard requires the road to have a paved width of 28 feet. Improvement of Sycamore Drive to this standard would allow vehicle traffic to safely travel on Sycamore Drive. The original proposal by the applicant was to use the full length of Sycamore.Drive and then turn into the soccer complex. Due to the cost of improving the full length of Sycamore Drive and due to the concerns of homeowners living at the end of Sycamore Drive, the applicant proposed several access options at the Planning Commission meeting on April 11. The option that the Planning Commission approved was to access the soccer complex approximately 1,200 feet from Hicks Lane and improve Sycamore Drive to that point. A private road built to County Road Standard RS-8-LD3 would then take vehicles to the soccer complex. This would result in two roads side- by-side for approximately 725 feet,but it would get the vehicle traffic off of Sycamore Drive at the earliest possible point. The applicant has stated that this is not the preferred option,and would still like to use the full length of Sycamore Drive. The intersections of Sycamore Drive/Hicks Lane and Hicks Lane/Eaton Road will not be significantly impacted by vehicle traffic. Currently,traffic use at the intersection of Sycamore Drive and Hicks Lane is low,so impacts will be minimal. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ Planning Division ■ 2 • Projected traffic at buildout of the NCSP will be LOS C for that intersection. The intersection of Hicks Lane and Eaton Road, and the adjacent intersection of Eaton Road and the northbound offramp/onramp of Highway 99,does see a large amount of vehicle traffic. A one-hour traffic count of this intersection conducted by staff on a Saturday showed that vehicle traffic at this intersection is flowing at a level of service of"C" or better. No unusually long delays were observed. Most of the vehicle traffic generated by the soccer complex will use this intersection. The addition of 67 more vehicles per hour on this intersection will not have a significant impact to the intersection. 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. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS: This application requires that a public hearing be advertised and held. Public notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300 foot radius of the subject property. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the application for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club on APNs 007-010-037& 007-420-053, subject to the following findings and conditions in the attached Exhibit"A."

I represent many individuals that live In a smallpiral neighborhood in Butte :county. We have been working to stop the granting of a use permit for the d6vsloprnant of a 5-field soccer u)mplex which Is planned for Sycamore Drive, a dead end, F,,>Aremely narrowstreet_ This is a very rural community zoned R-1 (residential) zoning. in 1995, Butte County adopted the North Chio* Specific Plan (NCSP)whit,,h sets title guid.,;Iines for development for the area inquest)on. We have found many, many areas where this project is In noncornpllaweMth the NCSP. These issues ahve been brought to the attention of the Planning Commission and the Board of Suoervisoit-,at several different public meetings, and these issues are not being considered, addressed, or taken seriously by some of tho committen mem bt3rs involved. I cannot understand ,his, The NCSP are the rules,the laws governing development in this area. Regardless of the lyp?of p(ojec!, if it is not In compliance with the ordinances and regulations of the NCSP,tnan it should not be alloweu. This is no different than saying that theft is against the law, unless yore steal for a pood reason. As I mentioned previously, there are many areas whera this project is in noncompliance with the NCSP. Some of these are: 1. Plan Goal #4 - Development of a circulation system %,I11rh provides for efficient and uncongested movement of vehicies, pedesfrian5 and bicyclists with minimum Intrusion upon the rural and residential character of the area. This project woulcl bring an esilintated 1200 vehicie trips into the area in one day. This is a dead end road that has approximately 15 homes accessing it. This is not what I would consider minimum intrusion 2. General Policy#1: Preserve the semi-rural lifestyle now enjoyed by existing reslOents of the plan area while providing for futufa housing needs of the area. This proiect will not preserve the semi-rural lifestyle we now enjoy, but rather bring In traffic and people eqvlvalvat to that of a shopping mall. 3. General PollcvA18 and#19 references parks stating rex_,eatfon amenities and facilities should not only be consistent�Mih the needs of nearby res,dents, but also efforts should be taken to Minimize duplicmioji, T he nearby residents do not need 5 soc;ei fields and have petitioned against the soccer fields, and there are other soccer fields planned for the area in the NCSP. 4. The area Is zoned minimum density time residential, At this I e that means only one home per acre because we are all on septic tanks and wells. According to the NCSP, the only uses allowed 'in R-1 zoning with a use permit are social halls, lodges, fraternal organizations, rest homes, clubs built by non-profit organizations, etc., or as mentioned in the plan "zoning uses which are of sirrillar character to those enumeratedn. This is a private park and the only place within the NCSP area where private Parks are allowed is OS (open space) zoning. it is obvious this Project goes against the zoning ordinances of the area. - AUG-26-96 1 i M ©� 1 Ff'1 BUTTET T E CO=CADMINISTRATION i I hI�T Fs T I Ch ?1_F.5=•- _•i 1.'._0 P. 4i 3 The NCSP waS,developed l)y Neriiagy Partnuis urder Jhrj d rrw,i;rri 01 tr,e B lard of Supervisors. !11 " i'otivt3(90071 wifh Stephen i ic;•eycttll, with He-r,'30e Par*,Perr, �,, ,unthrried that is projeci of this type w is nevi r ijterlrl-d to bE, p11t in this area He' Gar i 11 OPrsta J edtie r, hoar this ptOject Made it !hrough the fildrtning stages.

A pr*:C► of this type, planned for this area,should have never gotten through the planning stage: but it nas. nue to the Commission and Supervisors negligenCt to tiphoid the laws of the fdCSP, the., committeas have lost a lot of credibility in the eyes of the.,people In the area. In a recent interview by a local newspaper with County Council regarding the upcoming Will to "take the power away from tine County on planning and development issues", his remarks were that if this bill is adopted there will b2 increased traffic and no hreser:+ation of the rural And existing cn,racterisitic of the area. Basically he outlined everything the residents of ails area are trying to make him enforce, but when it comes to this project, none of them matter. 1 . i . z . a AUG-26-96 MON 02 :33 RM BUTTE +=:0 ALM I N I STF'AT I ON ? 1653S7120 P. 05 f 11'8 CQ'i1.'fln'1 ff f n� {. i r�� ahE I'Y°r:.i�r 1" ", I^t' 3�� 1 , t t`•4 -'V l,i+4;, i4vm :NF G";,��r1z3r�LC'i ti j li'(�i�l t-Ir �. �'f�G.� 'rt f !. j (.*An Or ILi ;+elf) ),at , rrU k t+(1tS IS :y enda+ t? t � •' r!_•i �n.rttl t� (jt^ '1 .�t .�. r,. � + ��+t'3t "'o oAcole � r A,s rll�ar+�+C.rQ'J t.`,.f1'-A ,ai =l h. �� ,Y�. j yy,�•,+ ! r not. t-.tr.•r ('. t"(' .i 4'rN.cr r y'r.,r !Al ht sr, ,art'y I. ns, Salf.f:rsly, A�4nt K!7rta! 20C? 5yrdrTllf,C, Dnio r,,mco CA 95973 010, ;s99-70sr4 rr Gouur-T c:Pets:. {. _ t:'f,r - .;.rt fir. , .c.

Dellinger P.O. Box 952053 Sacramento, CA 94252-2053 RE: Letter of August 30, 1996 Dear Ms. Dellinger Thank you for your reply to my letter to Govemor Wilson in regards to the Chico-Cal Soccer Club. I would like to clarify things that you have been told by the Butte County Planning Division staff that are contrary to the North Chico Specific Plan. The Butte County General Plan does allow quasi public uses in R-1 zoning, however as you can see by the enclosure from the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP),the NCSP does not allow quasi public uses in the R-1 zoning area. The only areas in the NCSP that allow quasi public uses are SR-1, SR-3, C-2 and P-Q zoning. Since.this project is not open#o the general public, but limited to members of the Chico-Cal soccer club, it is questionable as to whether or not it actually a quasi public use or a private park. Private parks, on the other hand, are limited to OS zoning per the NCSP. I have heard,this same information from Butte.County.Planning Division staff, and I would like to direct your attention,as I have tried to direct the direction of the Planning Division'staff, to the copy I have,enclosed of the Development Regulafion and.Design Quidelines, page 7-1 of the NCSP. The introduction (which I have clearly marked)states that"These regulations supersede otherwise applicable county ordinances and codes, unless specifically stated herein to the contrary"and under Development Regulations, General Provision#7.1-1, "Whenever the provisions contained herein conflict with those contained in the Butte County Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the NCSP Development Regulations as set forth herein shall take precedence." Also mentioned several times in the descriptions of what is allowed in zoning areas are the words "similar to those enumerated", meaning projects that are similar to the other projects listed. How is this project similar to any of the items enumerated?All other projects are small to medium sized structures that do not generate a lot of traffic, and would be less conspicuous in a rural neighborhood. The copies from the NCSP,which I have enclosed, make the evidence very clear. You have experienced the manipulation of the NCSP from certain members of the Planning Department that I have had to deal with since I first started opposing this project, and to be quite honest, it not only frustrates me but makes me wonder why they would go to such lengths to try to manipulate this evidence that has been presented to them, and now you. If the NCSP is a frivilous plan,then I cannot understand-why 5 years and probably thousands of dollars was spent in developing it.I..This time, effort, and money would have been better spent in different ways. This plan was voted on,-as is, by County'residents,and therefore, it-should not be allowed.to be changed on a whim by the personal.opinion of a few people in the Butte County' Planning Department and certain members of other committees involved. As you mentioned this is the"local'constitution"'for the area. I would say a constitution should mean something. May I remind you that the zoning issue is not the only issue that this project violates. After reading the NCSP several times, I find that there are many more. May I also suggest that you contact Steve Honeycutt of Heritage Partners who prepared the plan that was adopted by the Butte County Board of Supervisors, request a copy of the North Chico Specific Plan, read it and determine for yourself. That is the only way you will be able to make an informed judgement on this project.

I called Jay Garner this morning, but got his answering machine. I then called the MGM trucking company and was told that the trucking company had been established in 1979. In 1979, the parcel on which the trucking company is located was zoned A-2. The A-2 zoning allowed a trucking company without a use permit. The parcel has undergone several zoning changes over the years: Zoned A-2 on Aug. 29, 1955 Zoned AS-R on Jan. 20, 1981 Zoned PA-C on Mar. 31, 1981 Zoned R-1 on Mar. 28, 1995 The MGM Trucking Company has been an on-going business since its establishment in 1979. Because it was a legal use when it was established, the trucking company is now considered a legal-nonconforming use. In a pervious conversation with a person at the trucking company, it was stated that the trucking company is planning on relocating to another site in the county in the near future (within one to two years). ■Butte County■ Department of Development Services■Planning Division■ 1 CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE IFFICZIJ COUNTY OF BUTTE •oVT • 25 COUNTY CENTER DRIVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OROVILLE,CALIFORNIA 95%53380 • • Telephone:(916)-538-7631 Fax:(916)-538-7120 VIVIAN MEYER JANE DOLAN MARY ANNE HOUX JOHN S.BLA0aA)CK ED McLAUGHLIN CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER CORDON THOMAS September 3, 1996 Ms. Jen*Kizziar oevelopment Services 200 Sycamore Drive Chico, CA 95973 P 'i 1996 , ®roville,California . Subject: Use Perm*t for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club Dear Ms. Kizziar: This letter is in response to correspondence we received from you on August 12, 1996, concerning a use permit for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club. The Board of Supervisors considered the appeal of this use permit at its regular meeting of May 14, 1996, during a scheduled public hearing. The Board requested that the public hearing remain open until June 11, 1996, to allow time for the Development Services Department to provide the Board with additional information regarding traffic impacts, roadway improvements, and who would be using the soccer fields. The Chico-Cal Soccer Club submitted a letter to the Board of Supervisors at its meeting of June 11, 1996, requesting an extension of the public hearing for the purpose of locating an alternate property to establish the soccer complex. The Board continued the hearing to Tuesday, January 28, 1997, at 10:00 a.m.. Thus, the Board has not made any final decision regarding the appeal. I am quite concerned with your comments regarding County Counsel's Office and must tell you I do not share your conclusions. I have forwarded a copy of your letter to Susan Minasian, Butte County Counsel, with the request that she respond directly to you on this issue. In conclusion, I encourage you to attend the continued public hearing of this appeal in January. The Board of Supervisors will gladly accept any future correspondence you may have related to their consideration of the appeal.

Box 6581 Chico, CA 95927 Re: Use permit, AP 007-010-037, 007-420-053, File 96-06 Gentlemen: At the regular meeting of the Butte County Board of Supervisors held June 11, 1996, the public hearing was continued to January 28, 1997, at 10:00 a.m. to consider your request for a Use Permit to allow a five field soccer complex on property zoned R-1 located on the northerly corner of Highway 99 and Hicks Lane, Chico. The meeting will be held in the Board of Supervisors' Room, County Administration Center, 25 County Center Drive, Oroville. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact this Department. Very truly yours, illi Farrel elopment Services Director WF:lr f MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Chair and Board of Supervisors FROM: Stephen Betts,Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Minor Use Permit for the Chico-Cal Soccer Club DATE: May 30, 1996 SUMMARY: Additional information on this project is provided as requested DISCUSSION:The Board of Supervisors considered this project at its regular meeting of May 14, 1996. The Board requested that this project be continued until June 11 so that additional information regarding traffic impacts, roadway improvements, and who will be using the soccer fields could be provided to the Board. Game Schedule and Participants A document supplied by the applicant shows that 20 games could be played at the soccer complex on a Saturday at maximum use (see attached schedule). The start time of games are staggered,with two games starting at one time and then three games starting one hour later. That schedule is then repeated three more times. The heaviest vehicle traffic will occur when three games start at the same time or when three games end at the same time. The attached game schedule is only an example of what could be played at the soccer complex. It does not necessarily mean that 20 games will be played each Saturday. A field schedule from last September's game schedule showed that from seven to ten games were played during the course of a day. The applicant has indicated that the schedule for the soccer complex will be similar to past schedules. There is currently no condition of this project that restricts the number of games that could be played during a single day at the soccer complex or the starting times of those games. There is a condition of this project that limits the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to the current number of teams that are now in the club,which is 17, until such time as roadway improvements to the intersection of Eaton and Hicks are completed. The reason for this condition was to try to limit the number of games that could be played by limiting the number of teams in the club. However,it may be difficult for the County to monitor this condition and may place an undue burden on the soccer club. Staff recommends that this condition be removed. Conditions could be placed on this project that limit the number of games played during a single day and that specify the exact start times of those games. However, conditions such as these may hamper the ability of the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to efficiently schedule games at the complex. Staff recommends, though, that a condition be placed on the project that limits the number of games to start at any one time to no more than two, and that at least one hour passes before any other games start. Monitoring of this mitigation can be accomplished by requiring the Chico-Cal Soccer Club to submit the game schedule for each three-month soccer season, at prior to the season start,to the Planning Division for review and approval. There will be two soccer seasons of three months each - March through May, and September through November. Heaviest use of the soccer complex will occur on Saturdays during the soccer seasons. Participants of the soccer games on Saturdays will be youths, ages 12 to 17. The applicant has stated that an adult league will play on Sundays, but this league only has six teams and will use a 4-hour block of time in the midday. The soccer complex will be open to Chico-Cal Soccer Club teams for practice every day throughout the year. There is currently no condition of this project that limits the hours of operation of the soccer complex. There Butte County. Department of Development Services. 1 is a condition that prohibits night lighting of the playing fields,so complex use will be during daylight hours only. The attached schedule supplied by the applicant does show the first game starting at 8:30 am, and the last games starting at 3:30 pm,which will end at about 5:30 pm. A condition could be placed on this project that limits the hours of operation from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, or something similar. There have been concerns raised about the Chico Rooks, which is a professional soccer team, using the soccer complex for practice or for games. There is currently no condition of the project that restricts the use of the soccer complex to non-profit teams only. A condition could be added to this project that allows only non- profit soccer teams to use the soccer complex. Traffic Impacts Traffic impacts to the roads in the project area will vary depending on the road, intersection, and the number of games played in a day. Staff conducted a one-hour traffic count at the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane (which included traffic exiting and entering Highway 99), and at the intersection of Hicks Lane and Sycamore Drive. The traffic count was conducted on a Saturday, between the hours of 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Traffic data in the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP)shows that the level of service (LOS)during a weekday at peak hour at the intersection of Eaton Road, Highway 99 on/off ramps, and Hicks Lane is A, B, or C, depending on the vehicle movement. The level of service designations range from A to F, with A being unimpeded traffic flow and F being gridlock. The NCSP states that traffic on all streets within the Plan area should not exceed a level of service C,and in no case shall the LOS exceed D. The following tables show the traffic movements and the number of vehicles counted during peak hour,which were obtained from the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the NCSP,and one-hour traffic counts conducted by staff on a Saturday. North Bound Highway 99 Offramp at Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Right turn onto Eaton 145 94 Left turn onto Eaton 130 /LOS C 107 East Bound Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Straight 234 109 Left turn onto SR99 0 22 Left turn onto Hicks 123 /LOS A 70 West Bound Eaton Road Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Straight 204 147 Right turn onto Hicks 3 29 Right turn onto SR99 62 37 Butte County. Department of Development Services. 2 South Bound Hicks Lane Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour/Level of Service Saturday 1-hour count Left turn onto Eaton 11 /LOS B 31 Right turn onto Eaton 1 92 82 Vehicle Movement NCSP Peak Hour count Saturday 1 hour count Total 1,004 692 The data in the above table shows that there is approximately 31% (or 312 vehicles) less vehicle traffic using these intersections during a Saturday than during peak hour. During the peak hour,the level of service never drops below a C for any vehicle movement. The traffic generated by the playing of approximately ten games at the soccer complex in a single day will not generate more traffic than these intersections currently see during peak hours. Staff has concluded that if each player arrives in his own vehicle,each game played will generate approximately 60 vehicle trips(30 in and 30 out). If three games start at the same time,as the game schedule shows,there could be approximately 90 vehicles using the roads and intersections in the project area within a very short time period. This could lead to short-term impacts to traffic circulation in the area. Arrival times of participants will vary slightly because some will arrive early,while others will arrive just in time for the game. Each game is scheduled for a two-hour period, but the games will end at slightly different times due to differences in play time. Some participants will leave as soon as the game is finished,while others may delay their departure. If three games get out at exactly the same time,there could be short-term impacts to the roads in the area,especially at the intersections of Sycamore Drive and Hicks Lane,and Eaton Road and Hicks Lane. At these two intersections, numerous vehicles will be wanting to make a right turn, and delays could occur. The amount of traffic generated per hour due to the soccer complex is difficult to accurately determine due to: The unknown game schedules-How many games will be played each Saturday is unknown. If ten games are played there will not be a significant impact to vehicle circulation. If 17 games are played (which is the number of teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club) there could be significant short-term impacts to vehicle circulation. The unknown start times of the games - The times that games will be started is unknown. The attached schedule shows that two games will start and then an hour later three more games will start, with this schedule repeating itself three more times. This schedule will generate approximately 60 vehicles the first hour,then 90 vehicles the next hour. However,the applicant has indicated that the attached schedule is just an example of the number of games that could be played at the soccer complex in one day,and does not represent an accurate schedule of what will be played at the soccer complex. The time of arrival and departure of participants is unknown -Some participants will arrive early for practice,while others will arrive just in time for the game. This will spread out the arrival times of the vehicles,thus lessening the impacts to vehicle circulation. After a game ends,some participants will leave right away,while others may stay awhile to watch other games or to socialize. The amount of car pooling that will occur is unknown -There is no way to accurately estimate the amount of carpooling that will occur. A number of teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club come from out of the Chico area (Gridley, Paradise, Oroville), and can be expected to carpool. Teams from the Chico area can also be expected to carpool, but on a lesser basis. Any carpooling that is done will lessen the impacts to the streets and intersections in the project area. Butte County. Department of Development Services. 3 Roadway Improvements The North Chico Specific Plan states that numerous improvements will be made to existing roads and intersections to improve the traffic flow in the Plan area. The Plan establishes the following roadway improvements: Hicks 1. Hicks Lane is proposed to upgraded to an arterial street(2 lanes) 2. Realign the intersection of Hicks and Eaton, moving the intersection to Silverbell Road. Eaton Road Eaton Road is currently planned as a four lane arterial Eaton Road will require widening to four lanes,with widening of the SR 99 overpass and modifications of the interchange at this location. Both this widening to four lanes and interchange modifications are planned improvements of the City of Chico and County of Butte and are to be funded through the Chico Urban Area Street Facility Fees. Eaton/SR99 (SB ramps) Install signal Add EB thru lane Add WB left turn lane Eaton/SR 99 (NB ramps-Hicks) Install signal Restrict Hicks to right turn in and out only Add second right turn lane on SB Hicks Add EB and WB thru lane on Eaton Add WB right turn lane on Eaton Add EB left turn lane on Eaton These roadway improvements are considered to be sufficient to meet the traffic circulation needs of the Plan area. There is no time frame for when these roadway improvements will be accomplished. Improvements will occur as development occurs and as funding allows. Funding for these road improvements will come from North Chico Specific Plan impact fees, Mello-Roos districts, Chico Urban Area Street Facility fees, and from the City of Chico. Fees for new development in the Plan area are assessed on a per-unit or square footage basis, depending on the number of daily vehicle trips that a use generates. As an example,the Plan states that a dwelling unit in a R-1 zone will be assessed approximately$1,035,while a commercial unit will be assessed approximately$4.85 per square foot. The fees that are listed in the Plan are currently under review and may be revised. The Plan does not address the cost to be charged for a use such as the soccer complex. If the Board determines that fees should be charged due to the soccer complex use,there are various means to accomplish this. As a condition of this project,the applicant will be required to improve Sycamore Drive to a width of 24 ft.,from Hicks Lane to the access road for the soccer complex. Improving Sycamore Drive will allow vehicle to travel safely to and from the soccer complex. Another condition of this project requires that the applicant pay a pro- rata share for a left turn pocket on Hicks Lane at Sycamore. Butte County. Department of Development Services. 4 Recommendations It is believed that the preceding information responds to the Board's request for more information regarding this project. Changes to the conditions have been proposed and are attached. Condition#3 is recommended to be deleted and conditions 24 to 28 proposed to be added as part of project approval.

Jay Garner dropped by yesterday afternoon. He wanted to express his concern about the Planning Commission' s decision to a require the soccer league to build a frontage road instead of requiring them to improve the county road. Mr. Garner believes that there is a dangerous , sharp turn in the road that the soccer proponents could be required to improve. if they had to use that stretch of road. This section of road is in front of Mr . Garner ' s property and he would like it improved. Neighbors to the proposed project cite as one of their objections the increased number of cars traveling past their homes to reach the proposed facility . I believe that is why the Planning Commission_ required the adopted road design.. :n order to satisfy Mr . Garner , the neighbors ' objections would have to be ignored. Tt is my understanding that the section of road in question is slated to be re-aligned as part of the CSA 87 implementation . I told Mr . 'Garner that I would r=lav his concerns to you.

The meeting will be held in the Board of Supervisors' Room, County Administration Center, 25 County Center Drive, Oroville, California. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact this Department. Very truly yours, m Farrel Wil 'K velopment Services Director WF:lr April 12, 1996 Butte County Board of Supervisors County Administration Center 25 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 RE: Cal Soccer Club Use Permit I hereby appeal the use permit granted by the Planning Commission for the above mentioned project on the basis of the following: 1. During the meeting held on 4/11/96,the Commissioners agreed with opponents of the project that the project did not comply with the North Chico Specific Plans Goals and Policies. If it is in non-compliance, the use permit should not be granted. These goals and policies are the rules, the laws of the plan, and per Theodore Roosevelt"No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it." The Planning Commission should be required to uphold the laws and rules of the North Chico Specific Plan regardless of who is requesting a project. It's obvious to the people in the impacted area, as it was obvious to the Commissioners at the meeting that this project went against the plan policies, and yet they blantantly disregarded the rules when they allowed the use permit. A copy of items mentioned at the meeting is attached. 2. It was mentioned during the meeting that improper notice was given for the meeting held on April 11. The notices people received were referencing the meeting held on March 28, 1996. This is improper notice. 3. This project is not in complaince with the zoning ordinances of the North Chico Specific Plan. The area in mention is R-1 Zoning. According to the Uses Requiring Use Permits it references projects such as social halls, lodges, fraternal organizations, rest homes, group homes, sales tract offices, etc. These all have similar characteristics as they don't product the traffic impact that this project would and they are structures of medium size that would fit well in a residential environment. I believe the intent of the planners is to allow non profit organizations to built something the equivalent of an Elks Hall, or, as mentioned in the Plan, zoning uses which are of similar character to those enumerated. Regardless of what type of organization is handling the project,this is a private park, and the only place a private park is allowed is in OS (open space) zoning. A church,which is normally run by non profit organization, cannot be built in R-1 zoning, nor can an extension of Enloe Hospital, even though they are a non profit organization. Items within each zoning area have similarities with each other, and a private park has nothing in common to the other items allowed in R-1 zoning. This is not a question of who is developing the area, but what they are developing. I have one concern about facing the Board of Supervisors. I have been informed that Board members have been assisting the Chico Cal Soccer Club in obtaining funding. I feel this is a conflict of interest. Is there any way that we could find out whether or not Supervisors are assisting the soccer club and have them abstain from making a decision on this issue? Sincerely, UJeni Kizziar In the years that it took to develop the North Chico Specific Plan, there was never any mention of a soccer field in this area. Although this field is not a housing development, it will have impacts on our neighborhood similiar to that of a 300 home subdivision with one exception, the people won't have the pride and concem that the resident have of our neighborhood. The introduction on page 1-3 of the plan mentions property owners and residents concems regarding the preservation of existing neighborhood characterisitics and these concems are addressed in various areas throughout the Plan. These issues were important enough to dictate policy throughout the Plan and it is obvious the placement of the soccer field on Sycamore Drive blantantly disregards these concems. For instance: 1. Plan Goals#4 states the Development of a circulation system which provides for the efficient and uncongested movement of vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists with MINIMUM INTRUSION UPON THE RURAL AND RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE AREA. 1200 vehicle trips in one day is not what I would consider minimum intrusion. 2. According to the Plan Policies,the first General Policy is"TO PRESERVE THE SEMI-RURAL LIFESTYLE NOW ENJOYED BY EXISTING RESIDENTS OF THE PLAN AREA WHILE PROVIDING FOR FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS OF THE AREA." This field will not preserve the semi rural lifestyle and does not provide for future housing needs of the area. 3. Policy#18 and#19 references Parks stating recreational amenities and facilities should not only be consistant with the needs of nearby residents but also efforts should be taken to minimize duplication: Although this is a private field, it should follow the same philosphies and guidelines as those set for public parks and fields. In section 5-1 there is a proposed 14.8 acre park site that will be located in the Village Core with space large enough for a full sized soccer field. Also, according to a phone conversation with Bary Hogan on April 3, 1996,the mini parks are gone from the draft and in the adopted plan they have made larger parks to accommodate soccer fields. Also, according to the EIR Figure 13-1 there is a community park located at point 2C between Sycamore Creek and Eaton Road and these are generally a minimum of 20 acres. With all this proposed area and abovementioned soccer fields, it seems this project'does nothing to minimize duplication and according to my petition is needed or wanted by the nearby residents. 4. In the Butte County General Plan Policies, Appendix A of the Plan, Item D.2.c states Relate residential densities to intensity and compatability of adjacent uses and Item D.2.d states to balance residential densities with traffic carrying capacities of existing and proposed circulation plans. Also, Item F.1.b states Provide a circulation system and plan that is consistent with and will support existing and proposed pattems and densities of land use. Remember this is like having 300 homes in the area. 5. There are numerous references throughout the plan that address the desire to decrease traffic and commutting into the area, especially in residential areas such as Policy#14 stating it wants to limit access from residences and businesses along major streets. Hicks is a major street. #15 states it is desired to discourage traffic within residential neighborhoods. The EIR states the Key components of the plan are integration of land uses which minimize commute traffic. Also mentioned in the EIR under Project Elements that Mitigate impact on pg. 9-14 is the restriction of traffic to and from Hicks Lane below Sycamore Creek. Obviously this project goes completely against these plan objectives. 6. Item 8.1.5 states cul-de-sac and dead end streets should be avoided on streets with more than 20 units. We now have 14 units that access Sycamore Drive. The traffic generated by-this project will be like having a shopping center at the end of a dead end street. Under the Development Regulations and Design Guidelines it states, under 7.1-6, the number of dwelling units and acreage for each land use designation of the plan may be revised as appropriate if the revision is in accordance with established procedures intended to ensure compliance with the policies of the Specific Plan. I have mentioned several policies of the Specific Plan that show this project is not in compliance. After reading all of these things, it's plain to me that the use permit should be denied of the basis of nonconformance to plan goals and policies. But since it hasn't, I would like to bring up some items mentioned in the NCSP that should be required as a condition of the use permit if the permit is granted: 1. In reference to Implementation on Page 8-10, and the Area between Eaton Road and Mud Creek, it states that"FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR IN THIS REGION..HICKS LANE AND EATON ROAD WOULD NEED TO BE IMPROVED. Also on page 8-11, it states that THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT REQUIRED TO ENABLE DEVELOPMENT TO START WHERE THERE ARE RESULTANT TRAFFIC IMPACTS TO HICKS LANE, IS THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE INTERSECTION OF HICKS LANE AND EATON ROAD. According to figure 9-3 of the EIR, currently 229 vehicles access Hicks Lane from Eaton Road on the section of road by Sycamore Drive. The project will increase that number by an estimated 1200 vehicles in one day which is more than the estimated traffic figures limiting access to Hicks Lane and 70% of the estimated traffic on the estimated traffic figures without limited access to Hicks Lane. It is obvious to me that this project would impact Hicks Lane as far as traffic, and according to the plan requirements the intersection at Hicks Lane and Eaton Road would need to be improved before any development is to occur. 2. PG&E will have to be contacted regarding the moving of the power poles when they improve Sycamore Drive Laurelwood Subdivision was required to move the poles along the section of road they improved. Developers of this 9 lot single family subdivision were also required to improve a section of Sycamore Drive to the Butte County RS 3A standards which is 2"of asphalt over an 8"gravel base. The improvement area on the surface of the road was to centerline plus 12 feet. Will the same construction standards be similar or will they be different because of the difference in R value calculations? . 3. According to Butte County General Plan Policies item F.3.b it states they REQUIRE adequate drainage improvements for new development. Item H.3.a states they want to limit development in areas with significant drainage and flooding problems UNTIL adequate drainage or flood control facilities are provided. The SUDAD(Shasta Union Drainage District Ditch)was designed for agricultural surface drainage and is nearing or at capacity at this time. They will have to contact the State Reclamation Board and the US Army Corps of Engineers for a permit to divert drainage from roads and parking lots into Sycamore Creek. On page 6-12 regarding Proposed facilites in,regards-to drainage states that runoff will be detained in detention basins prior to discharge into Sycamore Creek and development within this drainage area will be fully built out with curb, gutter and sidewalk in addition to the closed conduit system. Also, according to figure 6-3 of the Drainage Concept, there is a possible pump station located in the area of the parking lot area. 4. According to 7.4-4 an archaeological study and written report shall be prepared by a qualified archaeologist addressing proposed development within the areas of high sensitivity. Figure 7-1 shows the proposed fields and parking area on the north side of the property fall within this area. 5. Page 7-22 states that local rural streets must have trees planted with a spreading structure and planted 30-50 feet apart. Since the field will require the improvement of Sycamore Drive, the trees should also be required and per the plan planted within 6 months of completion of the streets. 6. Item 9.2.2 of the Butte County General Plan Policies states that Developers of major traffic generating land used shall provide fixed transit facilities such as bus shelters and pullouts, according to expected demand. 7. According to item 7-28 Street and Pathway lighting, all streets and paths will be illuminated in the Village Core, Industrial Areas, and the areas south of Sycamore Creek. Sycamore Drive is south of Sycamore Creek therefore they will have to provide for lighting. 8. Item 4.1-12 states the county will require erosion mitigation and control plans for new developments and for road encroachment permits to prevent soil loss during and after road development activities. 9. According to item 5.1.1 all road systems both public and private shall provide for safe evacuation of residents and adequate access for fire and other emergency services by providing at least two means of emergency access to an interconnected collector system. Also, according to the Butte County Fire Department,they have a 5 minute acceptable response time. I don't believe emergency vehicles will be able to access the area with increased traffic volume along Eaton, Hicks, and Sycamore Drive if there were an emergency at the bottom of the Sycamore Drive within the acceptable response time if improvements to the roads aren't made 10. One concern I brought up at the last meeting was security. This is addressed in the EIR Police Impact statement which states that each developer within the NCSP shall pay appropriate law enforcement impact fees in accordance with County requirements. Since this project could severely impact our area in regards to security,they should have to pay the impact fee of 3 cents per square foot,which from my calculations is going to be $26,136. 11. According to the Table 7-2, Summary of Zone District Development Standards,the surface material for parking spaces in R-1 zoning is concrete or asphaltic concrete, not gravel. Is this project planned for this zoning area also required to use this material. If a gravel road is allowed, they will have to plan for dust control measures. Also the dust control measures will have to be taken during the development process per EIR Air Quality section pg. 10-8. 12. The Summary of Street Design Standards table 7-3, we are a type 50-4 cul-de-sac street in the R zone. According to the summary of street design standards,the ROW width is to be 50',2 lanes of travel, 32'of pavement width, curb and gutter and sidewalks to be separated from the curb by a planter strip. Sycamore drive is currently serving more than 12 lots,therefore this standard would apply.

Although this field is not a housing development, it will have impacts on our neighborhood similiar to that of a 300 home subdivision with one exception, the people won't have the pride and concern that the resident have of our neighborhood. During the last meeting, I brought up several points that I don't feel were addressed adequately, if at all. These points, however, are addressed in the Plan numerous times. The introduction on page 1-3 of the plan mentions property owners and residents concerns regarding the preservation of existing neighborhood characterisitics and these concerns are addressed in various areas throughout the Plan. These issues were important enough to dictate policy throughout the Plan and therefore it should warrant consideration on the part of this Commission. It is obvious the placement of the soccer field on Sycamore Drive blantantly disregards these concerns. For instance: 1. Plan Goals#4 states the Development of a circulation system which provides for the efficient and uncongested movement of vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists with MINIMUM INTRUSION UPON THE RURAL AND RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE AREA. 1200 vehicle trips in one day is not what I would consider minimum intrusion. 2. According to the Plan Policies, the first General Policy is"TO PRESERVE THE SEMI-RURAL LIFESTYLE NOW ENJOYED BY EXISTING RESIDENTS OF THE PLAN AREA WHILE PROVIDING FOR FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS OF THE AREA."'This field will not preserve the semi rural lifestyle and does not provide for future housing needs of the area. 3. Policy#18 and#19 references Parks stating recreational amenities and facilities should not only be consistant with the needs of nearby residents but also efforts should be taken to minimize duplication. Although this is a private field, it should follow the same philosphies and guidelines as those set for public parks and fields. In section 5-1 there is a proposed 14.8 acre park site that will be located in the Village Core with space large enough for a full sized soccer field. Also, according to a phone conversation with Barry Hogan on April 3, 1996, the mini parks are gone from the draft and in the adopted plan they have made larger parks to accommodate soccer fields. Also, according to the EIR Figure 13-1 there is a community park located at point 2C between Sycamore Creek and Eaton Road and these are generally a minimum of 20 acres. With all this proposed area and abovementioned soccer fields, it seems this project does nothing to minimize duplication and according to my petition is needed or wanted by the nearby residents. 5. In the Butte County General Plan Policies, Appendix A of the Plan, Item D.2.c states Relate residential densities to intensity and compatability of adjacent uses and Item D.2.d states to balance residential densities with traffic carrying capacities of existing and proposed circulation plans. Also, Item F.1.b states Provide a circulation system and plan that is consistent with and will support existing and proposed patterns and densities of land use. Remember this is like having 300 homes in the area. 6. There are numerous references throughout the plan that address the desire to decrease traffic and commutting into the area, especially in residential areas such as Policy#14 stating it wants to limit access from residences and businesses along major streets. Hicks is a major street. #15 states it is desired to discourage traffic within residential neighborhoods. The EIR states the Key components of the plan are integration of land uses which minimize commute traffic. Also mentioned in the EIR under Project Elements that Mitigate impact on pg. 9-14 is the restriction of traffic to and from Hicks Lane below Sycamore Creek. Obviously this project goes completely against these plan objectives. CX— o// C! 50 7. Item 8.1.5 states cul-de-sac and dead end streets should be avoided on streets with more than 20 units. We now have 14 units that access Sycamore Drive. The traffic generated by this project will be like having a shopping center at the end of a dead end street. Under the Development Regulations and Design Guidelines it states, under 7.1-6, the number of dwelling units and acreage for each land use designation of the plan may be revised as appropriate if the revision is in accordance with established procedures intended to ensure compliance with the policies of the Specific Plan. I have mentioned several policies of the Specific Plan that show this project is not in compliance. After reading all of these things, it's plain to me that the use permit should be denied of the basis of nonconformance to plan goals and policies. But since it hasn't, I would like to bring up some items mentioned in the NCSP that should be required as a condition of the use permit if the permit is granted: 1. In reference to Implementation on Page 8-10, and the Area between Eaton Road and Mud Creek, it states that"FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR IN THIS REGION..HICKS LANE AND EATON ROAD WOULD NEED TO BE IMPROVED. Also on page 8-11, it states that THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT REQUIRED TO ENABLE DEVELOPMENT TO START WHERE THERE ARE RESULTANT TRAFFIC IMPACTS TO HICKS LANE, IS THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE INTERSECTION OF HICKS LANE AND EATON ROAD. According to figure 9-3 of the EIR, currently 229 vehicles access Hicks Lane from Eaton Road on the section of road by Sycamore Drive. The project will increase that number by an estimated 1200 vehicles in one day which is more than the estimated traffic figures limiting access to Hicks Lane and 70% of the estimated traffic on the estimated traffic figures without limited access to Hicks Lane. It is obvious to me that this project would impact Hicks Lane as far as traffic, and according to the plan requirements the intersection at Hicks Lane and Eaton Road would need to be improved before any development is to occur. 2. PG&E will have to be contacted regarding the moving of the power poles when they improve Sycamore Drive Laurelwood Subdivision was required to move the poles along the section of road they improved. Developers of this 9 lot single family subdivision were also required to improve a section of Sycamore Drive to the Butte County RS 3A standards which is 2" of asphalt over an 8"gravel base. The improvement area on the surface of the road was to centerline plus 12 feet. Will the same construction standards be similar or will they be different because of the difference in R value calculations? 4. According to Butte County General Plan Policies item F.3.b it states they REQUIRE adequate drainage improvements for new development. Item H.3.a states they want to limit development in areas with significant drainage and flooding problems UNTIL adequate drainage or flood control facilities are provided. The SUDAD (Shasta Union Drainage District Ditch)was designed for agricultural surface drainage and is nearing or at capacity at this time. They will have to contact the State Reclamation Board and the US Arp307Xcontact the State Reclamation Board and the US Army drainage from roads and parking lots into Sycamore Creek. On page 6-12 regarding Proposed facilites in regards to drainage states that runoff will be detained in detention basins prior to discharge into Sycamore Creek and development within this drainage area will be fully built out' with curb, gutter and sidewalk in addition to the closed conduit system. Also, according to figure 6-3 of the Drainage Concept, there is a possible pump station located in the area of the parking lot area. 6. According to 7.4-4 an archaeological study and written report shall be prepared by a qualified archaeologist addressing proposed development within the areas of high sensitivity. Figure 7-1 shows the proposed fields and parking area on the north side of the property fall within this area. 7. Page 7-22 states that local rural streets must have trees planted with a spreading structure and planted 30-50 feet apart. Since the field will require the improvement of Sycamore Drive, the trees should also be required and per the plan planted within 6 months of completion of the streets. 8. Item 9.2.2 of the Butte County General Plan Policies states that Developers of major traffic generating land used shall provide fixed transit facilities such as bus shelters and pullouts, according to expected demand. 9. According to item 7-28 Street and Pathway lighting, all streets and paths will be illuminated in the Village Core, Industrial Areas, and the areas south of Sycamore Creek. Sycamore Drive is south of Sycamore Creek therefore they will have to provide for lighting. 11. Item 4.1-12 states the county will require erosion mitigation and control plans for new developments and for road encroachment permits to prevent soil loss during and after road development activities. 13. According to item 5.1.1 all road systems both public and private shall provide for safe evacuation of residents and adequate access for fire and other emergency services by providing at least two means of emergency access to an interconnected collector system. Also, according to the Butte County Fire Department,they have a 5 minute acceptable response time. I don't believe emergency vehicles will be able to access the area with increased traffic volume along Eaton, Hicks, and Sycamore Drive if there were an emergency at the bottom of the Sycamore Drive within the acceptable response time if improvements to the roads aren't made 14. One concern I brought up at the last meeting was security. This is addressed in the EIR Police Impact statement which states that each developer within the NCSP shall pay appropriate law enforcement impact fees in accordance with County requirements. Since this project could severely impact our area in regards to security, they should have to pay the impact fee of 3 cents per square foot, which from my calculations is going to be$26,136. Also the EIR states that according to baselines of 1 officer per 1000 people,we already need an additional 22 officers and associated equipment to meet the needs of the current population in unincorporated Butte County. This is only going to get worse with budgeting problems. It also goes on to mention how few, if any, property crimes, such as burglary, or minor crimes against persons can be investigated. These are the types of crimes(vandalism, grafitti, burglary,theft, etc)that residents of the area are going to have to deal with if the field is developed and with these few sentences we have been told that nothing will be done about it. This concern is verified by a Butte County Deputy Sheriff Darrell Smith who lives in the neighborhood,who after his 26 1/2 years of service, is well aware of the problems associated with parks in residential areas. His main concern in regards to security is the afterhours use of the park. He states that this would be the perfect place for the drug dealers and other problem individuals to hang out. There isn't enough manpower to patrol the area and it's on private property. After being a Sheriff for 26 1/2 years, he is more of an authority of what we as residents can expect than any of us here are, and he is very concerned, as I am sure any of you would be concerned if it were being planned for your neighborhood. 15. In regards to the chemical toilets,these may or may not be serviced adequately. They have a tendency to get blown or knocked over. If they are blown or knocked over,will the contents contaminate the ground water and our wells. We have been told that the Garner's are going to provide for maintenance, upkeep and security and yet across from their yard is the only place you will find garbage along the street, and rocks and mud all over the road brought in by their trucks. The Garners were asked while the Laurelwood Subdivision was being developed to clean up around their place and in retaliation, they painted GARNER HOG FARM, across the top of their building, which may have effected the sales of the homes in the subdivision. Yet we are told that they that will be handling maintenance, upkeep and security??? 16. According to the Table 7-2, Summary of Zone District Development Standards, the surface material for parking spaces in R-1 zoning is concrete or asphaltic concrete, not gravel. Is this project planned for this zoning area also required to use this material. I d, they will have_to_plan_fobe taken-during-the-devetopm a estieR-pg. 10-8. 17. The Summary of Street Design Standards table 7-3, we are a type 50-4 cul-de-sac street in the R zone. According to the summary of street design standards,the ROW width is to be 50', 2 lanes of travel, 32' of pavement width, curb and gutter and sidewalks to be separated from the curb by a planter strip. Sycamore drive is currently serving more than 12 lots,therefore this standard would apply. Another concern was from the people at the Jordan Home which is a low profile boys home situated directly north of the proposed soccer field. They stated that the reason the Jordan Home has not had any problems is because there is nothing out there. Bringing the soccer field to the area may cause problems in relationship to the Jordan Home. This is something that we want to avoid. Mr. Donnan paid me a visit after the last meeting. I asked him how he would feel if this were being planned for this neighborhood. He stated that it wasn't a fair question. I think it is fair. People who live in heavily populated subdivisions or apartments are used to the.people and traffic and don't know how we feel about our peaceful neighborhood. We all have either lived or worked in these more populated areas and we have chosen to pay the money to buy large lots and live in densely populated areas. A soccer field in these heavily populated areas would seem more reasonable than out in the middle of nowhere. The fields would be more accessable, would be able to benefit more from bus service, and be around more people that would be using them. Mr. Donnans answer led me to believe that he wanted the benefits of having the field but none of the associated problems that the residents of the area will have to deal with. This is wrong. He also stated that there were no plans to develop additional fields, and yet expansion was mentioned at the last meeting. He stated that if we had a problem with the adult games and the drinking and driving, he wouldn't hold the adult games. He also stated that they could move the entrance to the east side of the property which doesn't make the situation better for the neighborhood and our desire to retain our existing neighborhood characteristics. With all of the ways I have mentioned that this project contradicts the objectives of the plan. If this plan means anything, then it would be obvious on the basis of nonconformance to Plan policies and goals, that I have stated directly from the plan, that the use permit should be denied. l Kizziar 200 Sycamore Drive Chico, CA 95973 April 8, 1996 Butte County Planning Commission Attn: Bary K. Hogan, Planning Manager 25 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 RE: Cal Soccer Club Use Permit Attached you will find a petition signed by.a majority of the residents directly impacted by the Cal Soccer Club field planned for the end of Sycamore Drive. As you can see, an overwhelming majority of the residents are against the proposed field being planned for our neighborhood. From what I understand, one of the concerns addressed in the North Chico Specific Plan is the preservation of existing neighborhood characteristics. Our existing neighborhood characteristic is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood free of the problems that other areas around parks are experiencing, like increased traffic, increased noise, and increased problems caused by non- residents being attracted to the area. We want the characteristics of our neighborhood to remain as they are, a quiet, peaceful, rural neighborhood, and we urge you to address this concern in regards to this proposed field. Mr. Donnan paid me a visit on March 30, 1996. When I asked him how he would feel if this project were being planned for his neighborhood, he told me that it wasn't a fair question. I think it is a fair question. Being the soccer enthusiast that he is and I would think he would welcome this project into his neighborhood with open arms. It was obvious that he wouldn't want this project in his neighborhood any more than the residents in my neighborhood want it here. I am sure that anyone living in a quite, rural area, as we do,would object to this project being put in their neighborhood. I really don't think children care if they play on a regulation sized field, as long as they can play. I have seen children playing softball in undeveloped fields, basketball in driveways, and football and soccer in front yards and they aren't complaining. I think this project is more for the adults than it is for the children. Please give more consideration for the residents impacted by this proposed field and deny the use permit. 0eni er. ly& er Kizziar planninn P;1101 t"ent APR 10 1996 Oro°rio;,-, _ fnia PETITION WE, THE HOMEOWNERS DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE CHICO CAL SOCCER CLUB FIELD PLANNED FOR SYCAMORE DRIVE, HEREBY AFFIRM THAT WE DO NOT WANT THE FIELD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

FOR: Planning Commission Meeting of April 11, 1996, SUMMARY: The Butte County Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item on March 28, 1996. The Commission continued the item open until April 11, 1996 so as to allow the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission an opportunity to evaluate the compatibility of the requested soccer complex with the operations of the Chico Municipal Airport. The ALUC discussed this project at its April 3, 1996 meeting. Considering the land is designated for R-1 single family uses with densities of 1 to 6 units per acre,the proposed facilities will present much less of a hazard to airport operations than a residential subdivision. The ALUC concluded the proposed use is not incompatible with the current land use plan for the airport and will not significantly impact operations of the Chico Municipal Airport with the addition of conditions listed below. RECOMMENDATION: The Butte County Airport Land Use Commission finds that the proposed soccer facility is not located within the boundaries of,or incompatible with,the currently adopted Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan. The ALUC further recommends the following conditions be added to the use permit approval: 1. The owner of the property shall sign an avigation easement for all parcels. 2. Lighting of the facilities shall be kept to a minimum and all lighting shall be installed so that all light is directed entirely on-site. 3. Any expansion of the use that requires a use permit or that significantly alters the use as proposed shall be submitted to ALUC for review and approval. •Butte County •Airport Land Use Commission • 1r April 8 , 1996 fir Mr. Barry K. Hogan Butte County Planning Commission 7 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 Dear Sir: Because of ill health, I will not be able to attend the meeting Thursday, April 11th. However I hope . you will read this and give it your consideration. I object to the building of a soccer club on the Garner property for the same valid reasons Jerry , and Jeni Kizzar have listed on their petition. The Garner property at one point is directly across the road from my property. To protect my privacy, I will be forced to build a fence around my property because of its exposure to the road and a large paved area driveway etc. , at quite an expense to me. We built our home on this property in 1961 . Thank you again for your consideration. Sincerely, Eleanor Droz 312 Sycamore Drive Chico, CA 95973 P.S . By the way, there is nothing the matter with that ground . I 've seen some good crops grown there by farmers who leased the land . r APR 0.9 4QQF Oroyfffo, Dear Neighbor, On March 28, 1996, the Butte County Planning Commission put a hold on the permit for the soccer field planned for the end of Sycamore Drive. We brought up the following points: 1. The road is inadequate to handle the amount of traffic this project would create. The road is narrow and has a blind curve. This could lead to disaster. Also, being a dead end, access in case of an emergency would be difficult, especially with the amount of traffic that the project would create. The drainage along the road is inadequate and there would be pedestrians, bike riders, and cars trying to dodge the standing water. This, too, could lead to tragedy. The County planning staff estimated the fields could generate about 1,200 vehicle trips (600 in and 600 out) during game days, per the Enterprise Record. This is going to impact the homeowners in the area tremendously. Since the players on the kids teams would be between the ages of 12 and 17 there is a good chance that this number could actually be higher as a result of the 16 and 17 year old players driving themselves (this could also be a hazard). The planned entrance to the soccer field is at the bottom of Sycamore Drive, so all these vehicles.are going to be passing your homes or the entrance to your subdivision all day long. The Chico Cal Soccer Club maintains that it cannot afford to improve the road at this time and wants to have a few years to work on it. Commissioner Chuck Nelson states that as soon as playing begins, our community is impacted immediately. We need to ensure if they have to put the soccer field in, they are required to improve the roads first. Safety should be more of a concern than finances. If they can't afford to do it right, they shouldn't do it at all. In addition to the traffic problems this is going to create on our streets, it will additionally effect Hicks and Eaton, including the freeway.on ramps and off ramps. Also, what they don't mention is the plans for future expansion of the project which will include 4-5 more fields doubling the amount of people and vehicles that will be coming to the area. 2. This field is going to disrupt the quite and seclusion that most of us enjoy. This is the reason we bought our homes out here and not in the middle of Chico. This is the reason we spent the money to purchase acre lots. Bringing 800 people here will not only disrupt our solitude, but also create security problems. The pro-soccer field people state games will be held on Saturday, adult games on Sunday, and practice during the week, with no night games. However, the minute you put a park into an area, people that will go there after hours and create problems. What is going to happen when the thefts, buriaries, vandalism, graffiti, etc., begins occurring? Who is going to be held responsible?Your homeowner's insuranceM 3. One question left unanswered at the meeting is how is the extensive watering of the fields going to effect our water table. We are all on wells. What is going to happen during a dry year? Who is going to make the sacrifices? 4. 1 have seen very few children that live on Sycamore Drive that are between 12 and 17 that would be accessing the soccer fields. Why should we sacrifice our quite country neighborhood for hundreds of other children? Why should we end up changing the appeal of our property to future buyers (the beauty of being a quite, secluded neighborhood will be lost) when there is absolutely no benefit to us. 5. In regards to-the adult games to be held on Sunday, I know that drinking occurs. What is going to happen when these people leave and try to manuver down Sycamore? As neighbors, we are aware of the ducks and chickens that make pilgrimage across the road, and it adds to the charm of our rural setting. Residents of the area watch for these things but they will be lost if the field is accepted. The dog that chases cars? What is going to happen when an unsuspecting motorist in a stream of cars and pedestrians slams on their brakes or swerves to miss him? Of course the soccer field enthusiasts want the field out here, it's not being planned for their neighborhoods. They get the benefits from the field with none of the associated worries. There were several people at the meeting who spoke in favor of the soccer field, but none of them live in our neighborhood. We need the people against the soccer field, who live in the area, to show their disapproval of the soccer field being put here. Be assured these people will bring more people to support the field to the next meeting. We need to see the people negatively impacted by the field there also. Image all of you, as homeowners in the impacted area, to assist us in keeping the character and value of our neighborhood. Attend-the next Planning Commission Illleetincull believe it is scheduled for Thursday, April 11, 1996 at 9:00 a.m. but you may want to call the Planning Commission at 538-7601 to be sure).

BACKGROUND A. Applicant and/or Project Name: Use Permit-Chico-Cal Soccer Club; Dot Garner Soccer-Complex B. Project No. and AP No.: UP 96-06, APN 007-010-037&007-420-053 C. Address of Applicant and Representative: P.O. Box 6581, Chico, CA 95926;Arcademe-Greg Melton, 1037 Park Ave., Chico, CA 95926 D. Project Description and Location: This project is a request for a Use Permit to allow a five-field soccer complex in a R-1 zone. The project site is located north of Sycamore Drive, adjacent to Highway 99. The only access to the site is via Sycamore Drive. The site has been in agricultural production for many years, is level, and contains no native grasses, plants or trees Soccer games will be played only on the weekends, but the fields will be used for practice during weekdays. No night games will be played and no night lighting of the fields will be installed. Soccer games will occur during the months of March through May, and September through November. The soccer complex will not be open to the general public, and access will be controlled by the Cal-Chico Soccer Club. The project site is located within the North Chico Specific Plan Area. Additional project description and area description can be found in the data sheet at the end of this document. II. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS + 1. Earth. Will the proposal result in: a. Unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will require some soil excavation and grading in order to make level playing fields and a parking lot. Berms will also be built to separate the playing areas from the parking lot. Some grading may be necessary to create or enlarge drainage channels. However, the project site is mostly level due to previous agricultural use. Therefore, the project will not create any unstable earth conditions or result in changes to geologic substructures. Mitigation: None required. b. Disruptions, displacements, compaction or overcovering of the soil? Yes No X Maybe Response: This proposal may result in some soil disruption,displacement,compaction and overcovering of the site as a result of development to construct level playing fields, berms,and a parking lot. This overcovering will represent a minor percentage of the property and will not impact the character of the site or result in any significant soil impacts. Mitigation: None required. c. Substantial change in topography or ground surface relief features? ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 1 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File#UP 96-06 Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposed soccer complex will not significantly affect the topography or ground relief features because the property is already level. Mitigation: None required. d. The destruction, covering or modification of any unique geologic or physical features? Yes No X Maybe Res onset The project site does not contain any unique geologic or physical features. Mitigation: None required. e. Any substantial increase in wind or water erosion of soils, either on or off-site? Yes No X Maybe Respo The proposal is not expected to cause any substantial erosion of the soils because the soccer complex will consist mostly of planted grass,which will keep soil in place. The remainder of the soccer complex will be landscaped with either planted grass, or mulched areas with planted trees or bushes. The trees will act as a wind break,thus helping to prevent any exposed soils from being blown off the site. Mitigation: None required. f. Changes in deposition or erosion of beach sands, or changes in siltation, deposition or erosion which may modify the channel of a river or stream or the bed of any lake? Yes No X Maybe Response: Very little soil erosion will occur as a result of this proposal. Most of the soccer complex will be vegetated with either with grass, trees, or mulching. What little soil erosion that will occur will flow into the drainage channels on the site, which then flow into a drainage channel that runs adjacent to Highway 99. This drainage channel in turn drains into Mud Creek. Mitigation: None required. g. Loss of prime agriculturally productive soils outside designated urban areas? Yes No X Maybe Response This project site does not contain prime agricultural soils, is within a designated urban area, and is zoned R-1 (low density residential). The soccer complex will cover about 20 acres of the two parcels involved in the project, leaving approximately 30 acres for agricultural production. The remaining 30 acres will remain in agricultural production until the parcel is developed for residential use. Mitigation: None required. h. Exposure of people or property to geologic hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, mud-slides, ground failure, or similar hazards? .Yes No X Maybe Response: The Butte County Seismic Safety Element does not indicate any faults in the area and the risk of ground rupture in the event of a seismic event is remote. However, all of Butte County is still classified as a Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII and potential ground shaking is possible. No structures are proposed ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 2 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 for this project and any structures placed on the project site in the future will be required to conform to Uniform Building Code standards which will provide adequate protection to occupants in case of seismic activity. Mitigation: None required. 2. Air. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality? Yes No Maybe X Response: The proposal may affect air quality in the immediate vicinity of the soccer complex because the increase in the number of vehicle trips,using worst-case figures, is significant. The expected number of vehicle trips generated from this use as proposed, using worst-case figures,will be approximately 1,200 trips per day of use(600 in,600 out). Maximum use will occur on the weekends,when there is less traffic on area streets. The 1,200 figure implies that each player will arrive in a single vehicle. As a condition of this project,the applicant will be required to implement and manage a car pooling program which will reduce the vehicle trips to less than 400 (200 in, 200 out)vehicle trips per day. Mitigation: See response item 13.a. b. The creation of objectionable odors? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposed soccer complex.will not create objectionable odors, smoke or fumes. Mitigation: None required. c. Alteration of air movement, moisture,temperature, or any change in climate,whether locally or regionally? Yes No X Maybe Response: Only large projects such as the construction of a large high-rise buildings,the creation of a large water body(such as a lake or thousands of acres of rice fields), massive defoliation, or introduction of large tracts of vegetation where there was previously none,would have the climactic effects discussed in this question. Since this project has none of these characteristics it will not result in any change in air movement, moisture, temperature, or climate. Mitigation: None required. 3. Water. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements, in fresh waters? Yes No X Maybe Response:The proposed soccer complex will not cause changes in the water movements of fresh waters because no water courses pass through the site. Mitigation: None required. b. Substantial changes in absorption rates,drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff on-site or into any water body. Yes No Maybe X ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 3 • • Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 Response: The project site currently consists of plowed agricultural fields. Runoff from agricultural fields is significant due to the lack of ground cover. The proposed soccer complex will reduce the amount of runoff compared to the current agricultural use. The grass cover on the soccer fields and mulching of planted areas will help reduce water runoff. The project site will be graded to reduce standing water. This will expedite drainage and may reduce runoff time. Mitigation:Provide a permanent solution for drainage. Storm drainage system to be designed such that it will not adversely impact neighborhood or existing drainage systems. c. Need for off-site surface drainage improvements, including vegetation removal,channelization or culvert installation? Yes No X Maybe Response: No off-site surface drainage improvements are needed because the project will not increase runoff. A substantial increase in runoff is not expected to be generated by the project. Mitigation: None required. d. Alternations to the course or flow of flood waters? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project site is not located in an area that carries flood waters. The project site is adjacent to Sycamore and Mud Creeks,which do carry flood waters. However,the project site is separated from the creeks by a tall levee which will prevent any flood waters from reaching the project site. Mitigation: None required. e. Discharge into surface waters,or in any alteration or surface water quality, including, but not limited to,temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity?. Yes No X Maybe Response: Maintenance of the grass on the soccer fields, and in landscaped areas, will require the use of fertilizers and herbicides. These chemicals could flow into local drainages, and then into Sycamore or Mud Creeks. The present agricultural use also uses heavy inputs of chemicals, and the soccer complex use is not expected to increase the use of chemicals over that currently used. The soccer site is zoned R-1,which, if used for residential purposes, would allow approximately 80 residences. These 80 residences would use large quantities of chemicals in order to keep lawns green and weed free. The proposed soccer complex will place less chemicals into the local drainages then the residential use would. Mitigation: None required. f. Alteration of the direction or rate of flow of ground waters? Yes No X Maybe Response:The proposed soccer complex will obtain its water from two wells located on the site. One well will be used to water the grass and landscaping,and the other well will be used for drinking water. The soccer fields will require extensive watering during the summer months. Water withdrawals should not alter the direction or rate of flow of ground waters due to the large amounts of water available in valley aquifers located beneath the project site. Mitigation: None required. h. Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 4 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 Yes No X Maybe Response:The proposed soccer complex will obtain its water from two wells located on the site. One well will be used to water the grass and landscaping,and the other well will be used for drinking water. The soccer fields will require extensive watering during the summer months.This could lead to a reduction in the aquifer underlying the soccer complex, but the amount of reduction may not be significant due to the large amounts of water available in valley aquifers located beneath the project site. Since little or no impermeable overcovering of the project site will occur,recharge through percolation will be much higher than any residential use and is similar to the existing agricultural use. Mitigation: None required. L Substantial reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies? Yes No X Maybe Response:This proposal will use well water, so a substantial reduction in public water supplies will not occur as a result of project approval. Mitigation: None required. j. Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding? Yes No X Maybe Response: This project will not expose people or property to water related hazards. The project site is adjacent to Mud and Sycamore Creeks,which cant'flood waters. However,the project site is protected from flood waters by a tall levee. Mitigation: None required. 4. Plant Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species, or number of any native species of plants (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops and aquatic plants)? Yes No X Maybe Response:The project site has been used for agricultural uses for many years and has been extensively plowed and cleared of native vegetation. No native grasses, plants, or trees remain on the site. Mitigation: None required. b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of plants? Yes No X Maybe Response: See item 4a. Mitigation: None required. c. Introduction of new species of plants into an area of native vegetation, or in a barrier to the normal replenishment of existing species? Yes No X Maybe Response: No native vegetation is present on the project site. Approval of this request will result in the ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 5 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 introduction of exotic plant species into the area for landscaping purposes. Mitigation: None required. d. Substantial reduction in acreage of any agricultural crop? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project site is located in an urban area,and is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential),and will be eventually converted to residential use at some time in the future. The project site contains approximately 50 acres of land that is currently being used for agricultural production. The proposed soccer complex will take up approximately 20 of the 50 acres. The remaining 30 acres will most likely stay in agricultural production until such time as the area is developed for residential use. Mitigation: None required. 5. Animal Life. Will the proposal result in: a. Change in the diversity of species or numbers of any species of animals.(birds, land animals, reptiles,fish, shellfish, benthic organisms or insects)? Yes _ No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not result in a substantial change in animal habitat because there is no fish habitat and very little wildlife habitat located on the project site. Animals on the project site may include small mammals and rodents,such as rabbits and field mice,and birds. The current agricultural use on the project site regularly disrupts the animals living on the site. The soccer complex will provide more habitat for bird species due to the extensive trees that will be planted for landscaping purposes. However,the small mammals and rodents currently on the site may be displaced during construction activities and may not return. Mitigation: None required. b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of animals? Yes _ No X Maybe Response: The project site does not contain habitat that provides shelter and food for any unique, rare, or endangered animal species. Mitigation: None required. c. Introduction of new species of animals into an area, or in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals? � Yes No X Maybe Response: This project will not introduce domestic pets or other new species into the area. Fences that will be installed around the soccer complex may impede the passage of small mammals,such as rabbits. Mitigation: None required. d. Deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat? Yes _ No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not cause a deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat because the current agricultural use on the project site has eliminated the native wildlife habitat. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 6 .. ry • • Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File#UP 96-06 6. Noise. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial increases in existing noise levels? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposed soccer complex may cause an increase in the existing noise levels due to increased vehicle traffic on Sycamore Dr. and due to the noises made by game participants and spectators. Currently, Sycamore Dr. has very little vehicle traffic on it and serves 22 parcels,with 14 single-family residences located on those parcels. People living along Sycamore Dr. could be significantly impacted by the noise of vehicles coming to and leaving the soccer complex. The majority of the vehicle traffic will occur on Saturdays. The noise generated by vehicles associated with the soccer complex will occur during daylight hours and will not disrupt sleeping patterns of nearby residents. Soccer game participants and spectators could generate a significant amount of noise. However,there are currently only two residences near the project site that could be impacted by this noise, and one of these residences,located adjacent to the project site, is also a trucking company. The project site is zoned R-1,which will allow homes to be buil on the remaining 30 acres of land adjacent to the project site. These residences could be significantly impacted by the noise generated by the participants and spectators of the soccer games. Noises generated by the soccer games will occur during daylight hours and will not disrupt the sleeping patterns of nearby residents. These noise impacts will be addressed at the time of the subdivision map submittal. Vehicles traveling on Highway 99, which is adjacent to the project site, generate a significant amount of noise which can be heard throughout the project site. The R-1 zoning for the project area could allow homes to be buil adjacent to Highway 99,subjecting them to high noise levels. The proposed soccer complex will preclude homes from being buil on the site,thus preventing a residential neighborhood from being subjected to high noise levels. Mitigation: None required b. Exposure of people to severe noise levels? Yes No X Maybe Response:The noise generated by vehicle traffic on Highway 99,which is adjacent to the project site,while loud, is not severe enough to cause damage to human hearing to those participants using the site. Mitigation: None required. 7. Light and Glare. Will the proposal produce substantial new light or glare? Yes No Maybe X Response: Night games will not be played at the proposed soccer complex, so there will not be any night lighting of the soccer fields. To ensure that no soccer games occur at night,a condition of this project will prohibit the installation of lights on the soccer playing fields. Security lighting could possibly be installed but this lighting will not create any substantial light or glare as all lighting devices installed will be required to be full-cutoff light fixtures and be directed downwards, 90 degrees from horizontal. Mitigation: All security lighting devices shall be full-cutoff light fixtures and shall be downward directed, 90 degrees from horizontal. 8. Land Use. Will the proposal result in a substantial alteration of the present or planned land use of the area? Yes No X Maybe ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 7 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File#UP 96-06 Response: The proposal will alter the land'use planned for the project site. The project site is zoned R-1 (low density residential) and would be expected to be developed for residential use at some time in the future. The proposed soccer complex, which will use approximately 20 acres of the R-1 zoning,will prevent approximately 80 single-family residences from being built. This represents approximately 7%of all the new homes that could be built under the North Chico Specific Plan. This 7%loss of homes is not significant, but homes may have to be built elsewhere to meet the increasing demand for housing in the Chico area. Mitigation: None required. 9. Natural Resources. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial increase in the rate of use of any natural resource? Yes No X Maybe Response:This project will not utilize or cause to be utilized any substantial amounts of any natural resource. Mitigation: None required. b. Substantial depletion of any non-renewable natural resource? Yes No X Maybe Response:This project will not cause a depletion of any non-renewable natural resource. Mitigation: None required. 10. Risk of Upset. Will the proposal involve: a. A risk of an explosion or the release of hazardous substances(including, but not limited to, oil,,pesticides,chemicals or radiation) in the event of an accident or upset conditions? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not involve significant use of hazardous materials, nor is located close to any facilities which store or utilize such materials. Mitigation: None required. b. Possible interference with an emergency response plan or an emergency evacuation plan? Yes No X Maybe Response: There is not an adopted emergency response plan or evacuation plan that for this area and therefore the proposed project will not affect any such'plan. Mitigation: None required. 11. Population. Will the proposal after the location, distribution, density, or growth rate of the human population of an area? Yes _ No X Maybe Response: The soccer complex will use approximately 20 acres of R-1 zoning. This means that approximately 80 single family residences could not be built. This represents 7%of the total new homes that is proposed to built under the North Chico Specific Plan. While this number is not significant, it does represent a loss of residential units that may have to be built elsewhere to meet the increasing demand for housing in the Chico area. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 8 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 12. Housing. Will the proposal affect existing housing or create a demand for additional housing? Yes No X Maybe Response:The proposal will not affect existing housing nor will it create a demand for additional housing. Mitigation: None required. 13. Transportation/Circulation. Will the proposal result in: a. Generation of substantial additional vehicular movement? Yes No Maybe X Response: The applicant has supplied a user matrix document that shows that up to 20 soccer games could be played on the soccer complex in one day at maximum use. The expected number of participants using the soccer complex in one day at maximum use would be approximately 600. If each participant uses one vehicle to get to the site, the vehicle trips generated by the soccer complex could be up to 1,200 trips (600 in, 600 out). This is a significant amount of traffic,and could impact the streets and intersections in the area. Maximum use will occur on Saturdays,which is when other vehicle traffic on area streets will be at a minimum. Because the start times for the games will be staggered through the day, vehicle traffic will not arrive all at once, instead arriving throughout the day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. There will be two soccer seasons: March through May, and September through November. Sycamore Drive,which is.5 miles long, is the only access to the soccer complex. Sycamore Dr. is a very narrow rural road and would have to be improved in order to handle the increased traffic generated by the soccer complex. A condition of this project will require the applicant to improve Sycamore Dr.to County Standard RS-3B. The intersection of Sycamore Dr. and Hicks Ln. may be impacted by vehicle traffic generated by the soccer complex. Vehicles coming to the soccer complex may be lined up waiting to make left turns from Hicks Ln. onto Sycamore Dr. There is not a marked left turn lane on Hicks Ln.for Sycamore Drive. Vehicles leaving the soccer complex may be lined up waiting to make a right turn from Sycamore Dr. onto Hicks Ln. As a condition of this project,the applicant will be required to pay a pro rata share for a left turn pocket on Hicks Lane. The intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane may be significantly impacted,as would the intersection of the northbound Highway 99 offramp and Eaton Road. These two intersections are spaced very close to each other, approximately 50 feet apart. There is not a marked left turn lane on Eaton Rd.for Hicks Ln., and there is only room for only one or two vehicles between the offramp and Hicks Lane. Vehicles on the offramp wanting to get to Hicks Ln. will have to wait on the offramp until there is enough room for them on Eaton Rd. in order to make the left turn onto Hicks Ln. This could cause traffic to back up on the offramp. The North Chico Specific Plan states that the intersection of Eaton Rd.and Hicks Ln. is to be improved at some point in the future, which includes widening Eaton Rd.to four lanes and enlarging the Eaton Rd. overcrossing. In addition, the Plan states that left turns from Eaton Rd. onto Hicks Ln. will be prohibited at some time in the future,which would restrict Hicks Ln.to right turns in and out, only. This would mean that vehicles heading for the soccer complex could only make a right turn from Eaton Rd.onto Hicks Ln. The North Chico Specific Plan does not state when these changes and/or improvements to the Eaton Rd. and Hicks Ln. intersection will be implemented. A review of last year's soccer schedule for the soccer league shows that an average of nine games were played each Saturday,which amounts to approximately 270 participants. Approximately 44%(8 teams out of 18 teams) of the teams playing these games came from out of town (Paradise,Oroville,Gridley,and Sacramento). These ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 9 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 teams,according to the applicant, usually carpool. This carpooling from the out of town teams will reduce the number of vehicles using the soccer complex. Using the above averages,and estimating that out of town teams will use five vehicles per team (3 players per vehicle), and figuring that the Chico teams will not carpool, the amount of vehicles using the soccer complex at maximum use will be approximately 190 (380 in and out). This amounts to 42 vehicles per hour averaged over a nine-hour period. The current number of teams in the applicant's soccer league is 17. The applicant has stated that the number of teams in the soccer league will not increase. However,the user matrix supplied by the applicant shows that 20 games could be played in one day at the soccer complex. This would require additional teams to be in the soccer league. In order to prevent additional usage of the soccer complex,and thus prevent an increase in the number of vehicles,a mitigation of this project will limit the maximum number of teams using the soccer complex to 17 until such time as improvements to the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane are accomplished. Mitigation: The number of soccer teams in the Chico-Cal Soccer Club using the soccer complex shall not be greater than 17 until such time as improvements to the intersection of Eaton Road and Hicks Lane,as stated in the North Chico Specific Plan,are accomplished. b. Effects on existing parking facilities or demand for new parking? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project site has enough space to accommodate all parking requirements. Mitigation: None required. c. Substantial impact upon existing transportation systems, including public transportation services? Yes No X Maybe Response:This project will not have a substantial impact upon existing transportation systems. The project site is not serviced by public transportation. Mitigation: None required. d. Significant alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or goods? Yes No X Maybe Response: See response in item 13a. Mitigation: None required. e. Alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project is not located near any railroads, harbors, or airports and will therefore have no effect on those facilities. Mitigation: None required. f. Increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal could result in a significant increase in traffic and related traffic hazards in the area. However,as discussed in item 13a,the number of vehicle trips generated by the soccer complex will be spread ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 10 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 out over a nine hour period. A mitigation in item 13a will prevent an increase in the number of teams using the soccer complex,and thus prevent an increase in vehicle trips. In addition,a condition of this project will require the applicant to improve Sycamore Drive to County Standard RS-3B,which will increase the width of Sycamore Drive and thus improve the safety of vehicles on the road. The project is not anticipated to be significant so as to cause any substantial traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians. Mitigation: None required. 14. Public Services. Will the proposal have substantial effect upon or result in a need for new or altered governmental services in any of the following areas: a. Fire Protection? Yes No X Maybe X Response The project is located in an area with a low fire hazard. There will not be any structures on the soccer complex. Injuries to soccer game participants may require increased emergency personnel response, but this will not have a significant impact on fire protection services. Mitigation: None required. b. Police protection? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposed use is not expected to generate a significant impact to the ability of the Sheriff's Department to provide police services in the area. The number of participants during an average weekend day may be in excess of 600, but it is not likely that the soccer complex will require a police response. Mitigation: None required. c. Schools? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not affect the demand for school services in the area. Mitigation: None required. d. Parks or other recreational facilities? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not result in an increase to demand for park and recreation facilities in the area. Mitigation: None required. e. Maintenance of public facilities including roads? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will result in a significant increase in the need for maintenance of Sycamore Drive in its present condition.As a condition of this project, Sycamore Drive will be required to be improved by the applicant to County Road Standard RS-3B. No improvements to other public facilities in the area will be required. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 11 1 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File#UP 96-06 f. ' Other governmental services? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will result in an incremental increase in demand for all other governmental services in the area. Mitigation: None required. 15. Energy. Will the proposal result in: a. Use of substantial amounts of fuel or energy? Yes No X Maybe Response:The soccer complex will not require excessive amounts of energy or fuel. Mitigation: None required. b. Substantial increase in demand upon existing sources of energy or require the development of new sources of energy? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project is located in and area that is already served by Pacific Gas and Electric,which forecasts energy consumption of their service area and provides for future facility planning. As noted in item 15a above, the proposed use will not use substantial quantities of energy_. Mitigation: None required. 16. Utilities. Will the proposal result in a need for new systems or substantial alterations to the following utilities: a. Power or natural gas? Yes No X Maybe Response: Pacific Gas and Electric already has distribution lines in the area and can serve the energy requirements of this project without substantial alteration to existing facilities. The cost of extending new service lines to the soccer complex may have to be borne by the applicant. Mitigation: None required. b. Communication systems? Yes No X Maybe Response Pacific Telesis already has distribution lines in the area and can serve the communication needs of this project without substantial alteration to existing facilities. A phone line and phone will be required to be installed at the soccer complex in order to contact emergency personnel. The cost of extending new service lines may have to be borne by the applicant. Mitigation: None required. c. Water? Yes No X Maybe ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 12 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File#UP 96-06 Response Two on-site wells will provide water to the project site. One well will be used for drinking water and the other well for watering purposes. Drinking fountains will be located at various places throughout the project site. Mitigation: None required. d. Sewer or septic tanks? Yes No X Maybe Response: The applicant has proposed that portable chemical toilets will be used. The Butte County Environmental Health Department has indicated that the use of portable chemical toilets is acceptable, provided that there are six toilets,three marked for female use and three marked for male use. Mitigation: None c. Storm water drainage? Yes No X Maybe Response The project will not generate a significant increase in storm water runoff as discussed in item 3b. A drainage ditch lies adjacent to the west boundary of the project site. Storm water runoff from the project site will be directed toward this ditch. Because the increase in storm water runoff will not be significant,no improvements to the drainage ditch will be required. Mitigation: None required. d. Solid waste and disposal? Yes No Maybe X Response: Due to the large number of people that will use the soccer complex a significant amount of garbage will be generated. In order to ensure that the garbage is properly disposed of,the applicant will be required to have contracted garbage pickup services. Mitigation:The applicant shall have contracted garbage pickup services for the soccer complex. 17. Human Health. Will the proposal result in: a. Creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard (excluding mental health)? Yes No Maybe X Response: The project in itself will not create a health hazard. However, injuries may occur to soccer game participants. In the event of a major injury, emergency response personnel must be summoned to provide medical aid and transport. In orderto facilitate emergency notification,a condition of this project will require the applicant to install and maintain a pay telephone at a central location on the soccer complex. The west boundary of the project site is adjacent to a shallow drainage ditch and Highway 99. The drainage ditch and Highway 99 could tend to attract some of the users of the soccer complex, many of who will be very young. Currently,a barbed wire fence separates the site from the drainage ditch,and a chain-link fence prevents access to Highway 99. In order to prevent soccer complex users from gaining access to the drainage ditch and Highway 99,the applicant shall be required to install a fence at least 6 feet tall the length of the project site's west boundary. Signs shall be placed on this fence at regular intervals that state entry to the drainage ditch and Highway 99 is prohibited. Mitigation: A fence at-least 6 feet tall and running the length of the project site's west boundary shall be installed. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 13 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File#UP 96-06 Signs shall be placed on this fence at regular intervals that state entry to the drainage ditch and Highway 99 is prohibited. b. Exposure of people to potential health hazards? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not expose people to any health hazard. Mitigation: None required. 18. Aesthetics. Will the proposal result in the obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public or will the proposal result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view? Yes No X Maybe Response:The proposal will not obstruct any scenic vista. The soccer complex will be visible to the people living near the project site and to people traveling on northbound Highway 99. The soccer complex will be planted with numerous trees, thus reducing the visual impact of open playing fields. The proposal will not result in an aesthetically offensive view. Mitigation: None required. 19. Recreation. Will the proposal result in an impact upon the quality or quantity of existing recreational opportunities? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not result in an impact on the quality or quantity of existing recreational opportunities in the area. The levee between the'project site and Mud/Sycamore Creeks has been identified in the North Chico Specific Plan as the location for a Class 1 bike path. It appears that access to the proposed bike path will be via open space along the Shasta Union drainage canal on the west side of the project site. Approval of this project will not affect the location or access to the proposed bike path. Mitigation: None required. 20. Cultural Resources. a. Will the proposal result in the alteration of or the destruction of a prehistoric or historic archaeological site? Yes No Maybe X Response: The project site is located in an area that has both a low to medium and a high archaeological sensitivity. The portion of the project site with the high archaeological sensitivity is located in the areas immediately adjacent to Mud/Sycamore Creeks. The project site has been in agricultural production for many years, and the ground has been extensively plowed. Any archaeological resources that may be located on the site have been extensively disturbed and would have very little archaeological value due to its condition. Archaeological resources that are below ground level could be disturbed by grading activities that will be required to make the playing fields level. Mitigation: Should any historic or prehistoric sites,features,artifacts, or human skeletal remains be discovered during project development,activity shall cease until a qualified professional archaeologist has been consulted to assess the archeological or historic significance. The Planning Division shall also be provided the archaeologists findings and provide clearance before work can continue. b. Will the proposal result in adverse physical or aesthetic effects to the prehistoric or historic building, structure or object? ■ Butte County Development Services Department a Planning Division ■ 14 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not affect prehistoric or historic buildings, structures, or objects because no such sites exist in the area proposed for use. Mitigation: None required. c. Does the proposal have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? Yes No X Maybe . Response: The proposal will not affect cultural resources. Mitigation: None required. d. Will the proposal restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not affect religious resources. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 15 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 111. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. 1. 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 sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Yes No X Maybe Response: As discussed in Section 11 of this document and more specifically subsections 2, 3,4, 5, &20,this project will not significantly degrade the quality of the environment or effect historic or prehistoric artifacts or structures. 2. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term,to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long- term impacts will endure well into the future.) Yes No X Maybe Response: The project,as discussed in Section II and Subsections 2,3,4, 5, 6, & 13 of this Initial Study,will not result in short-term benefits of the expense of impacting long-term environmental goals. 3. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project's.impact on two or more separate resources may be relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) Yes No Maybe X Response: This proposal may have a significant cumulative impact on vehicle movements. As discussed in Section 11, Subsections 13 of this document, this proposal may have a significant cumulative impact on the movement of vehicles in the project are, but this project can be mitigated to a level of insignificance by the incorporation of stated mitigation measures as part of the project approval. 4. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects_ on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Yes No Maybe X Response: As discussed in Section 11, Subsections 6 &13 of this Initial Study, this proposal may have a significant adverse effect on human beings, but this project can be mitigated to a level of insignificance by the incorporation of stated mitigation measures as part of project approval. IV. 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. X 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 herein have been added to the conditions of approval for the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ■ Butte County Development Services Department■ Planning Division ■ 16 Project: Chico-Cal Soccer Club Use Permit, File# UP 96-06 1 find that the,proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

We, as homeowners on Sycamore Drive, object for the following reaons: 1. Sycamore Drive is suitable for only one lane of traffic. The road is narrow and had a blind curve towards the end of the road. Increased traffic in the area will eventually lead to a serious if not fatal accident. Drainage along the road is also a.problem since standing water at times covers half of the narrow road. This road is also a dead end, leaving only one way to access the area in case of an emergency. 2. There is a major trucking company next to the planned area for the soccer field which contributes to the hazards along Sycamore Drive. Adding additional traffic as well as additional children in the area walking along the street and playing in the general area increases the chance of a serious or fatal accident. There would be no need for most of the individuals in the area to access a soccer field because there are very few children in the area::Most children, therefore,would be transported to the area. It would be more beneficial to put.a soccer field in an area where it would benefit more people living in the area it is going to impact. 3. The area is zoned minimum density residential and we would like it to remain minimum density residential. Most of the individuals along Sycamore.Ddve enjoy the quite, peacefulness of the area due to the lack of people. This is also a main reason homeowners chose this area to reside. Bringing a soccer field and the amount of people who would be playing and attending these events, would disrupt our quite, peaceful neighborhood. We have enjoyed the right of being secluded and wish to remain secluded. One acre minimum parcels, as per county zoning, limits the number of individuals in an area. Allowing this soccer field would be forcing maximum density on minimum density property. 4. In addition to wanting the area to remain zoned for minimum density residential use for reasons of wanting our peace and quite,we also want it to remain zoned in this way for security reasons. It has been proven when the amount of people accessing an area is increased,the number of problems also increase. We have been able to live without these problems for years and do not want to begin dealing with them in order to accommodate a soccer field. On the basis of the abovementioned facts,we certainly hope this permit is denied: rely, Jerry Jeni Kizziar (f Planning ^R°yment 200 Sycamore Drive Chico, CA 95973 FEB 2 y lQ96 Orovi6w,:,,:,.:tiiaia February 26, 1996 Planning Qenertment Butte County Planning Commission Attn: Barry K.

DRIVE F A.V� EAST AVE F TO DOWN TOWN CHICO NORTH DOT GARNER SOCCER COMPLEX SITE DESCRIPTION This site is located on the north side of Sycamore Drive, east of Hwy 99, south of Mud Creek and west of a existing agricultural field and residential area. Currently the site is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. This zoning allows a Public and quasi-public use with a Use Permit. The site is currently and has been agricultural laid, mainly wheat and straw. The Soccer Complex will have 5 fields for use by youth and adult soccer leagues, along with other sports using turf fields. The site will be managed by 'Chico-Cal Soccer Club. The iiew use will consist of a soccer complex allowing soccer and other turf field sports. Here are the elements of the project: 1. supplying 5 new soccer fields 2. warm-up area 3. group picnic area 4. childrens play area 5. 160 car gravel parking lot, with drop off and turn around areas 6. wide crusher dust promenade through the center of the site 7. designated areas for chemical toilets 8. central meeting places along promenade with 8-10 picnic tables 9. landscape buffers and shade trees all around site 10.shade trees lining both sides of promenade 11. drinking fountains 12. entry sign and gate 13. irrigation systemw This new use will convert 20 acres of R-1 land into 20 acres of recreational open space. This will reduce the density of housing in the area and provide the surrounding neighbors with a recreation fields and open space. Use of the complex will be primarily on Saturdays, as this is the times of league games. Weekly use will be limited for practice activity.

Byrd W m R.C.E. 28998 No. 28998 Registration Expires 03/31/99 �f9r CIVIL F OF CAL1F�� E APMECTSMOPOSAOD-GARNER Garner Soccer Complex Site Constraints Physiographic - Due to the flat topography of the site, grading will need to be done to provide adequate drainage (site will drain to the drainage channel bordering Highway 99.to the west of the property). Pedalogical - Soil structure reflects modest limitations due to slightly high clay content that will have to be considered in the design of the site and in selection of vegetation. Amendments such as mulch or compost may be added to the site in order to lessen this concern and decrease surface compaction of the soil. - Permeability of the soil is low as a result of its high clay content, grading will have to be done to insure proper drainage and avoid ponding. - Due.to the soils water carrying nature, tree stock that is root-rot resistant will have to be incorporated in the design of the site. - Use of fields when they are wet could increase compaction. Hydrological - Soils have low permeability; site will have to be designed for expeditious surface drainage to go to storm channel on the western border of property. - The north border of the site abuts the Sycamore Creek 100 year flood channel, however this flood channel does not extend into the site. - Runoff from the site will be fairly rapid. - Water table is high, 30 plus inches deep. Geology - Depth to bedrock is greater than 72 inches ( 72 inches is as deep as the test was conducted ). Meteorological - The site is currently highly exposed to the sun and wind conditions; this can be limited as desired through use of the tree planting design. Vegetation - Vegetation selection will have to take into consideration the high clay content of the soil in selection, use and horticultural/maintenance practices. - There are existing trees adjacent to the project site that should be checked for condition and safety. Cultural Resources - Although the North Valley Specific Plan indicates that a section of the site may be' archaeologically sensitive, no known culturally sensitive areas or artifacts have been located in the i years that farming has been done on the site, thoroughly disrupting the soil. Visual - Vistas from the site to the foothills in the east should be preserved, while parked autos and traffic to the south and west should be screened. - Design may include a low turf berm to further block views to the west and prevent stray balls from entering the parking area. This berm must be designed to allow for drainage. Land Use - Limited residential development to the south should be considered in the design of the site. Transportation Corridors - Site is bordered by Highway 99 to the west (no direct access), Sycamore Road to the south, and Sycamore Creek to the north and northeast(possible bicycle/pedestrian access). - Sycamore road will accommodate automobile traffic to/from the site under normal conditions. - Parking will have to be provided for park users. - As area develops alternate modes of travel(bicycle, public transportation) should be encouraged, site design should reflect this. Infrastructure - Adequate area should be provided for project restrooms and leachfields, as well as alternate leachfield as a backup for main leachfield. - Gravel or paved interior roads and parking will have to be provided due to the slick nature of the clay soils. - To prevent compaction, the parking area should be designed so runoff should be relatively rapid to prevent standing water, and avoid infiltration of the parking area. - Chemical toilets and septic system will have to be used on the site. - Design site to drain to existing storm channel bordering Highway 99. - Design site to include access for removal of solid waste. Water - Holding tank and booster pumps may be needed to provide proper irrigation pressure. - A light sprinkling irrigation system should be used to minimize compaction of fields during use periods. Economic - Design will have to reflect the fact.that funds for improvements and maintenance are limited. - Property will have to be reclassified to a non-profit or public status to avoid the assessment property taxes. O mration/Maintenan ce - Design will have to consider the following operational and maintenance needs: Emergency access and egress Maintenance and repair costs Maintenance equipment needs and storage Security Signage Supervision needs, both during use and when park is not being used Vandal resistant design Political - Project leaders should try to enlist support of.the Chico Area Recreation Districts Board of Directors, the City of Chico Parks and Recreation Commission, as well as existing soccer and sports groups. - Project should consider the concerns of the existing neighborhoods to the south and traffic access to the site. - Project should look into concerns related to Sycamore Creek, including contacting the Vector Control Department. Legal - The project will have to obtain a County Use Permit to build a park in an area zoned as R-1 residential. - Project will have to satisfy CEQA requirements of environmental review, and compliance with any mitigation measures required. - Project will have to follow federal, state, and local guidelines for development, including conditions set by the American Disabilities Act. - Project will have to follow federal, state, and local guidelines for the handling of liquid and solid waste.

The California Safe Drinking Water Act establishes the need to provide pure and sate drinking water to public gatherings . A water system which would be providing drinking ;pater to frequent gatherings of about 500 people for about five months each year would be classified as a non- community public water system and would be regulated by the provisions under. the act for non-community systems . Well construction a>,,d integrity is a key element in ensuring a sate water supply . Therefore, the condition of any existing well intended for supplying a public water" system, must be established and approved . Alternatively , a new approved well supply may be required if an existing well can rout ,nret today ' s construction standards which• are designe4fto en•oure water eafety . All connecting plumbing must be,-'built according to Uniform Plumbing code Standards . The required waster system permit and other a information regarding the specific water system requirements should be obtained directly from our office at 18-B County Center Dr . , Oroville ( 538-7282 ) . - At this stage of development an adequate number of chemical toi.lets to meet. the requirements under the Uniform Plumbing Code and serviced under contract by a reputable firm should provide adequate sewage disposal seiviue - You should be aware that future addition.-i to the park , such as a food concession , will require plumbed hot. and cola running water supply and a water- carriage sewage disposal system to obtain the required permits .

Box 6581 Chico, CA 95926 November 29, 1995 Dear Dave, Enclosed please find the latest comments we have received concerning your request for a use permit for the soccer complex. I talked to Stu Edell in the Land Development Division and he indicated that you would need to improve Sycamore Drive only to where the parking lot starts. I am not sure if he meant that an access road leading to the parking lot would also have to be improved to the required County standard. He also indicated that Sycamore Drive would most likely have to be improved even if there was only one soccer playing field. If you have any questions on this, please give him a call at 538-7266. Caltrans indicated that there will be a problem with the intersection of Eaton and Hicks, and at the Eaton Road offramp. I already indicated to you that this may be a problem. I will have to use the worst-case figures of 600 (1,200 to and from)vehicle trips in the initial study and staff report for the pro ject if I do not have any other information to go on. One way to reduce this number is to accurately determine the number of players arriving per vehicle at a soccer game. I asked you about the number of players per vehicle and you said that you would count the number of players in each car at several games. If you have done this already please get me the numbers as soon as you can. I am sure that as a mitigation for the traffic problem the County will require you to implement and manage a car pooling program to keep the vehicle traffic below 200 per day (which would mean about 4 players per car). The start times of games may also have to be staggered more than has already been proposed, and/or less playing fields constructed. I have included photocopies of the North Chico Specific Plan which address the problem at the intersection of Highway 99\Eaton\Hicks. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to give me a call, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 to 4:00. Sincerely, Stephen R.

COMMENTS: Traffic from this recreational use proposal will contribute to cumulative impacts at the Eaton Road Interchange on State Route (SR)99. Turning movement conflicts could occur due to the close proximity of the northbound ramp intersection at Eaton Road and the Hicks Lane intersection to the East. The County will need to monitor this location. The County should collect traffic impact fees for future improvements to the interchanges in the area and for potential local road improvements. Construction of a new road to serve this area, with a connection further east on Eaton Road, should be provided before any significant problems occur. The need for this new road was discussed in the Northeast Chico Specific.Plan. No parking would be allowed within the SR 99 freeway right of way. Improved fencing and/or appropriate signs should be required at potential pedestrian crossings of the SR 99 freeway indicating that any pedestrian crossings between the Eaton Road Interchange and Mud Creek are illegal: The site plan showing trees planted as a buffer between the parking area and SR 99 should be less lineal and monotonous, and incorporate different varieties of trees and large shrubs. A grading and drainage plan that illustrates the effects of 25 and 100 year storm flows should be provided for Caltrans review. Runoff from the parking area shall be collected and treated with grease and oil separators prior to discharging onto State right of way. �' _,� ���� P4��`r'",,, . � 2� ��95 �® u��e'��<��� ®po�;6���;, Mr. Barry Hogan, Manager November 27, 1995 Page 2 An Encroachment Permit from Caltrans will be required for any work conducted in the State,right of way,including any modification of the freeway fence or changes in the runoff directed at SR 99. For permit assistance, please contact Bill Smith at(916) 741- 4408. Since an encroachment permit will be required,the proposed agreement between the County and the developer to mitigate cumulative traffic impacts should be reviewed and approved by Caltrans. Please send us a'copy of the staff report and Conditions of Approval'. r If you have any questions regarding these comments,please contact Terri Pencovic,Inter Governmental Review/CEQA Coordinator,at(916) 741-4199.

The soccer complex fields will drain north and south into a drainage ditch and enter the Shasta Union drainage ditch located on the western border of the property. As a condition of approval , we request the developer provide annual maintenance of the drainage ditch to prevent standing water. If summer runoff from this project is anticipated, the use of detention basins are recommended. Detention basins should be constructed with a steep side slope around the pond' s perimeter . The hydrology of the soil suggests a low soil permeability. This constraint along with a high water table, will require proper water management to prevent any standing water from occurring in the landscape and soccer areas . These comments are consistent with the District ' s adopted ` policy called, "Guidelines, Checklist, and Standards for Vector Prevention in Proposed Developments . " If you have any questions concerning our comments, please contact the District office . Sincerely, � yy?Ck1e-1.1(1 Uo-< J. L.
