Schuster, GPA/RZ 00-05; TSM 00-03, Pheasant Landing Subdivision Unit III. ) COUNTY OF BUTTE INITIAL STUDY EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS I. BACKGROUND: Name of Proponent: Stephen J. Schuster 2. Address: 3406 Keefer Road, Chico, CA 95973 Phone: 530-8944894 3. Name of Proposal: General Plan Amendment/Rezone/Subdivision Map (Pheasant Landing Subdivision Unit IID 4. Type of Project: General Plan Amendment/Rezone/Tentative Subdivision Map 5. Project Descriptions: General Plan Amendment and Rezone (GPA/RZ 00-05) The applicant requests a. General Plan Amendment and Rezone involving a 5 (+/-) acre neighborhood park area currently zoned P -Q (Public -Quasi Public) and designated as "Public" by the General Plan. This proposal constitutes an alteration to the North Chico Specific Plan's policies .and exhibits. The applicant proposes altering the location of the park, rezoning the OS (Open Space) zone and a portion of lands zoned SR -1 (Suburban Residential, 1 acre parcels), which lies adjacent to Keefer Slough as shown on the North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP), to the neighborhood park zone ,(P -Q). Additionally, the NCSP General Plan designations for this area will be amended from "Agricultural Residential" and "Open Space" to "Public". The original location for the neighborhood park will be rezoned from P -Q to SR=1 (Suburban Residential, 1 acre parcels) and the NCSP General Plan designation will be amended from "Public" to "Agricultural Residential". This proposed action will serve to relocate a 5 -acre area reserved for .park use under the NCSP. The new location is currently occupied by residential and open space zoning along Keefer Slough. The proposal will result in the removal of approximately 3.3 acres of Open Space from the NCSP. This acreage will be replaced with SR -1 zoning, which will allow for 3 additional dwellings upon subdivision of the area.

Schuster, GPA/RZ 00-05; TSM 00-03, Pheasant Landing Subdivision Unit III ) Tentative Subdivision Map The Subdivision Map proposes 30, 1 (+/-) acre residential parcels, one, 1.47 acre parcel (Lot "A") for community, sewage disposal, one, 5 (+/-) acre parcel (Lot "B") for the future, neighborhood park, and one, 1 (+/-) acre parcel (Lot "C") for a storm water retention area. The project will be provided with water service by individual domestic wells. Roads shall be dedicated for public use. Note: This project has been reviewed for consistency with the Adopted North Chico Specific Plan (NCSP) goals and polices and will utilize the adopted Certified Environmental Impact Report (CEIR) prepared for the plan as the basic environmental document. The NCSP is a mixed-use large scale development plan, which serves as a broad reaching site planning tool for larger developments in the unincorporated North Chico area. These documents were adopted by the Board of Supervisors in March of 1995. Pursuant to Government Code Section 21083.3, if an EIR has been certified for the adoption of a Specific Plan, the application of CEQA shall be limited to effects upon the environment which are peculiar to the parcel or to the project and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior CEIR. 6. Location of Property: This property is located east of and adjacent to Garner Lane, approximately 1.6 miles south of Keefer Road, north of Keefer Slough in the north Chico area. 7. Assessor's.Parcel Number: 047-350-013, -014, and -015 Setting: This property is currently undeveloped, but may have been used as an almond orchard or other agricultural use in the past. The property is level, with no dominant physical characteristics. The area's vegetation is characterizedas fallow grassland and pasture, noxious weeds, primarily starthistle, is predominant. Several small almond and valley oak trees are present on the site. A complete list of plants identified at this site is attached to this Initial Study. Keefer Slough is located along the south margin of the property. No other wetlands or water features are located on the property. Keefer Slough is an unimproved natural drainage, but contains no riparian vegetation at this location. Access is provided by Garner Lane, a County Road. Subdivision access will be provided by one through road and one looped collector road. The project lies within the North Chico Specific Plan Area, County Service Area 87 (CSA 87) and the Chico Area Recreation District (CARD). 9. Date Checklist Submitted: 10.

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 revisions have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ I find that the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL EMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the; environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or res that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is requi Prepared by: Daniel Breedon, Senior Planner Date —2aoc Reviewed by: Ran ilson, Principal Planner bate Butte County Department of Development Services D Planning Division 0 3 Project: General Plan Amendment/RezonetTentative Subdivision Map (Stephen J.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below could be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. X Aesthetics 0 Agriculture Resources X Air Quality X Biological resources ❑ Cultural Resources X Geology/Soils X Hazards/Hazardous Materials ❑ Hydrology/Water Quality X Land Use/Planning ❑ Mineral Resources + X Noise ❑ Population VHousing X Public Services X Recreation X Transportation/Traffic ❑ Utilities/Service Systems X Mandatory Findings of Significance . EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS I) A brief explanation is required for all answers except• "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead - agency cites in the parentheses following each .question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone. •A -'Wo Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project -level; indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, 'less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the -determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than. Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," -may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.

Schuster, GPA/RZ 00-05; TSM 00-03, Pheasant Landing Subdivision Unit III ) Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the .above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures` For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. r: 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general. plans, zoning ordinances).. Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and i b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.

ENVIRONMENTAL B11PACTS: 1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) . Substantially damage scenic resources including,- but riot limited ,to, "trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? ` X c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the ' site and its surroundings? X d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? 04 Response: The existing parkland is consistent with the NCSP as indicated in Chapter 8 of the NCSP CEIR. The relocation of the 5 acre neighborhood park from'its existing location to the new location adjacent to Keefer Slough could have aesthetic impacts. However, the current location is visually consistent with the surrounding property, and this location does not appear to have been chosen to protect any aesthetic resource. The new location may have a more positive aesthetic effect, since it is adjacent to Keefer Slough, and views of the creek will be protected by additional parkland. NCSP Policy 3-5 (Z) provides for the integration of open space, parks and recreational amenities, which will improve the quality of life for residents of the plan area and the greater Chico area. Approximately 3.3 acres of Open Space zone will be removed from the site, under the current proposal. This may result in impacts to aesthetic values.Adding additional parkland to the new location could help to mitigate this loss, while promoting bothan open space use and a recreational use. However, the existing proposal may not provide enough parkland outside of the 100 foot open space area required by the NCSP along Keefer Slough. The Chico Area j Butte County -Department of Development Services 0 Planning Division 6 ' Project: General Plan Amendment/Rezon&Tentative Subdivision Map (Stephen J. Schuster, GPA/RZ 00-05; TSM 00-03, Pheasant Landing Subdivision Unit III ) Less Than Significant Less Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact , Impact Recreation District (CARD) indicates that a minor increase to the amount of parkland Proposed could be considered to allow for development of recreational uses outside the 100 foot Open Space setback. Establishment of a 100 foot no -development setback within the park, and inclusion of additional parkland in this area is recommended as project mitigation measures. Mitigation Measure #1 At the time of conveyance of any deed dedicating or transferring the property zoned P -Q (Public Quasi -Public) to a public entity, a 100 foot no -development setback easement shall be executed, which shall prohibit any development activities within a 100 foot linear area measured from the top of the bank of Keefer Slough. This no -development setback is necessary to allow for the establishment of riparian vegetation along Keefer Slough, in accordance with policies of the North Chico Specific Plan. The no -development setback shall not prohibit conservation ,efforts intended to benefit the establishment of riparian habitat or grasses along Keefer Slough provided it is approved by the California Department of Fish & Game. Mitigation Measure #2 The current proposal removes approximately 3.3 acres of Open Space zoning from the North Chico Specific Plan. This Open Space zone is intended to protect the natural 'resources and promote growth of riparian vegetation along Keefer Slough. In order to allow for parkland development and to provide for the necessary 100 foot no -development setback as described under Mitigation Measure #1, additional parkland will be necessary along Keefer Slough. This . area should be of a sufficient size to allow for the development of the park with recreational uses in accordance with the NCSP's intentions for this neighborhood park, while remaining clear of the 100 foot no -development setback with park development. The size of this additional parkland area shall be determined by the Chico Area Recreation District. 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are. significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.

Project elements incorporated into the NCSP reduce these impacts to less than significant. However, the Butte County Air Quality Management District had additional recommendations for this project. The District recommends incorporating measures to control fugitive dust emissions from all road and other construction activities during project improvements. Measures may include site and driveway watering and/or use of other acceptable soil palliatives. Mitigation Measure #3 1 A.

The proposed project conforms to the NCSP as indicated in Chapter 6 and Table 16- 3 of the NCSP CEIR. The subdivision of property can result in the potential loss of or disturbance to, riparian habitat, vernal pools and other ephemeral wetlands, and the disturbance or loss of special status plants that occur due to grading and development. Project Elements incorporated into the plan reduce these impacts to less than significant level. A survey for sensitive species of vascular plants was conducted on the project site on April 7, 2000. The survey did not find any present or past evidence of sensitive plant species and stated that mitigation was not necessary. The plant survey did report that four small valley oak trees (Quercus lobata) were present on the property. Since development pressure in valley areas `of the County influence valley oaks and their habitat, the DF&G encourages developers to preserve as many trees as possible, with an emphasis on larger, more mature trees. The County of Butte has no official oak tree preservation policy. Although valley oaks are not an endangered species and are not protected by local ordinance, efforts should be made to ensure that projects protect native valley oak trees, since development is decreasing their numbers to the point that they may become endangered in the future. The Sensitive Plant Survey recommends that as a mitigation measure for these projects, any valley oaks removed during construction activities be replaced on' a two for one basis after development. The replacement of the Open Space zoning with the parkland may have an impact on the 100 foot no development setback established along Keefer Slough by the NCSP under Resource Protection Policy 7.4-1. Some uses allowed under the parkland (P- Q) zone would involve land development. According to the NCSP this park area is to be used for active and passive recreational opportunities, including play fields, tennis courts basketball courts, picnic areas and children's play areas. The Open Space zone along Keefer Slough is intended to protect a 100 foot wide area from development and to protect riparian vegetation, provide habitat for wildlife and to allow for re-establishment of trees and riparian habitat within the corridor.

Although Keefer Slough has the potential to provide riparian habitat at this location, no vegetation typical of riparian habitat is present,- with the exception of some local grasses and noxious weeds, with star -thistle being the most predominant plant: Star -thistle is considered an invasive non-native plant, that is typical, of disturbed sites in the County. Development of the park could bring better management strategies to the Keefer Slough corridor that would help promote riparian growth, and eradicate invasive weeds such as star -thistle. Park land development could provide for recreational activities while promoting riparian revegetation and preservation. However, grading and associated development. involved with some uses of the park could result in the loss of or disturbance -to riparian habitat. In addition, NCSP Environmental Protection Policy 1 indicates that impacts to riparian areas should be minimized through avoidance. This issue can be addressed by restricting development of the active amenities of the parkland to an area 100 feet distant from Keefer Slough. This is recommended as a project Mitigation Measure. This project will not have an impact to fish or wildlife habitat. Department of Fish and Game fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(d)(3) and 14 CCR 753.5 are not required. C. A wetlands delineation was prepared for this property under the NCSP CEIR. Figure 6-2 of the CEIR shows that no wetlands are present on the subject property. Keefer Slough is identified on Figure 6-2., which borders the south margin of the property, and also borders the south margin of the proposed park area. Alteration or disturbance to Keefer slough is not anticipated as a result of the General Plan Amendment/Rezone. The Army Corps of Engineers commented on this project, indicating that the work proposed would not involve the discharge of dredged or fill materials• into the waters of the United States. The Army Corps did indicate that Keefer Slough was included in a proposed Army Corps flood control. project.. Any work in or near Keefer Slough may have to be coordinated with the Planning Division of the Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District. e. Policy 7.4-3 of the NCSP requires that pre -construction avian surveys be conducted for the black -shouldered kite (Elanus caeruleus) during the nesting/breeding season in the vicinity of Keefer Slough between Garner Lane and Hicks Lane.

Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in §15064.5? X b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? X c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? X d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? X Response: The proposed project conforms to the NCSP and as indicated in Chapter 7 of the NCSP CEIR, Project Elements and mitigations incorporated into the plan reduce impacts to archaeological resources to less than significant level. The proposed Subdivision is shown to be outside the area designated as having high archaeological sensitivity. However, the new location of the proposed park site, is an area that has been identified as having a high archaeological sensitivity (NCSP Figure 7-1). The NCSP CEIR indicates that the highest sensitivity areas within the plan area are lands located within 100 to 200 feet from stream courses. A majority of these areas are already afforded protection by the 100 foot no -development setback required along Keefer Slough. Approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone would not authorize any . additional construction or activity that, will impact archaeological resources. However, a pedestrian level archaeological reconnaissance will be required prior to development of any area located outside the 100 foot setback along Keefer Slough, in accordance with NCSP Policy 7.4-4.

The project conforms to the land uses planned for in the NCSP as indicated in Chapter,4 and Table 16-3 of the NCSP CEIR. The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has'a low to high expansive soil designation. Many°valley areas within Butte County have a high potential for structural damage from soil 'shrinking and swelling. The Conservation Element's Policy 6.1 instructs to protect development in valley areas with expansive soils. This is to be accomplished through the implementation of mitigation measures for large developments and major facilities when there is a potential for significant damage. Building site development will take place in accordance with the Uniform Building Code through Butte County's building permit process; Typical commercial construction techniques, when in conformance with -the UBC, can protect from structural damage caused .by expansive soils. At the time of building plan checking, the Butte County Building Division requires that soil tests be conducted on soils that have a high potential for expansion. If it ' is determined that the project site contains such soils, the Building Division will ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent damage to structures from expansive soils. Staff recommends that as a mitigation for this project all foundations for this project be designed by a registered Civil Engineer or licensed architect and that this requirement be disclosed on the final map. Mitigation Measure #6: Place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet that states: "Prior to site development all foundations shall be designed by a registered Civil Engineer or licensed architect." 7.

Impact southeast of the project's boundaries. The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) reviewed the General Plan Amendment and Rezone, together with the proposed Subdivision. Their staff indicate that the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone is more compatible with airport operations than the original plan layout, because relocation of the 5 -acre parkland to an area adjacent to Keefer Slough places more non -residentially zoned acreage in the more restrictive Overflight Protection Zones A and B. However, the existing SR -1 zoning is still found to be inconsistent with the density, as recommended by ALUC. The ALUC staff notes that the changes have a positive feature, in that the potential usable open space for emergency landings are grouped together between the park, roadway and detention basin -proposed for the subdivision. However, ALUC has found the General Plan Amendment, Rezone and proposed Tentative Subdivision Map inconsistent .with the 1978 Chico Municipal Airport CLUP, asamended on October 21, 1998 'and December. 29, 1999. ALUC's recommendations to make the project consistent with the CLUP, are attached to this Initial Study as Exhibit "A". State law allows for local governments to make findings necessary to override a decision made by ALUC. The applicant has expressed a desire to pursue an override of ALUC's decision with the Butte County Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors will be required to adopt overriding findings by a 4/5 vote. At the time of its adoption, the proposed SR -1 zone located within the NCSP was deemed to be consistent with the Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan. However, the NCSP was adopted on an override of ALUC'S decision, which found the NCSP inconsistent with the 1978 CLUP. ALUC's determination of incompatibility was based on the urban designations in the "town center" area of the NCSP, south of Mud Creek. ALUC amended the 1978 CLUP on December 29, 1999. The impact of the NCSP on the CLUP has not been reassessed by the Board of Supervisors. The consideration of overriding findings for this project, and the consistency of the NCSP with the 1999 CLUP amendment constitutes a policy decision that must be addressed by the Board of Supervisors. It should be noted'that ALUC adopted the 2000 CLUP on December 20, 2000. Even though this project is not subject to the new 2000 CLUP, ALUC staff notes that the project would be inconsistent with the 2000 CLUP, which recommends one dwelling unit per five acres.

The project site is located outside the 55 CNEL (community noise level equivalent) noise contour. The 1993 Airport Land Use Planning Handbook does not identify one acre development as a potential safety hazard in the airport overflight zone. Mitigation for this project's impact on the Chico Municipal Airport involves two options, 1) amending the project to conform to ALUC's recommendations; or, 2) provide for approval of the project under the Board of Supervisor's adoption of overriding findings regarding the 1999 Chico Municipal Airport CLUP. h. The project is located within a State Response Area for wildland fires and construction of homes in this area makes fighting wildland fires more difficult because fire resources must protect structures before protecting wildlands: Regulations pursuant to Public Resources Code 4290 (Fire Safe Regulations) are recommended to be included as conditions of the Subdivision Map. Mitigation Measure #7 In order to address the significant impact of this project on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the Chico Municipal Airport, perform one of the following two options: Amend the project to conform to ALUC's recommendations as follows: A. The lot design shall be amended to show no single family residential building sites within either the Overflight Protection Zone A or B. No residential lot for a single family dwelling shall be less than 2.5 acres In gross size. B.

None of the 30 lots proposed by the Tentative Subdivision Map are within the floodplain. The proposed park is located within the floodplain. The proposed park should not involve the construction of any uses that would impact, or be impacted by the floodplain. However, this floodplain is designated as a "floodway" by FEMA maps., Section 26-24 (a)(6) prohibits all development ,,within a floodway unless certification by a registered professional engineer demonstrates that the encroachment within the floodway will not result in any increase in flood levels when the floodway is at capacity. r-.

X f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? X Response a. - f. Ambient noise on and around the project area is affected primarily byvehicle traffic on Garner Lane. Noise from Garner Lane is not expected to be significant due to light traffic volumes and the distance to the subdivision. The proposed project area conforms to the NCSP and, as indicated in Chapter 11 and Table 16-3 of the NCSP CEIR, development in this area may result in the exposure of some residents tonoise caused by overflying aircraft landing at or departing from the nearby Chico Municipal Airport. According to the NCSP CEIR, the project site is located outside of the 55 dB CNEL noise contour. Residential uses are compatible in areas that have a noise level less than 55 dB CNEL. Future dwelling units located on lots adjacent to major arterial may be subject to high levels of noise from vehicles on these roadways. The NCSP requires that all dwelling units adjacent to arterial roads have an interior noise level no greater than 45 dB CNEL. This requirement can normally be achieved through standard construction practices. The Airport Land Use Commission deemed the project inconsistent with the revised Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Chico Municipal Airport. Mitigation Measure 97 is recommended to address significant impacts of the project 'on the Chico Municipal Airport. (See Initial Study Checklist Item 7 -Hazards, for further discussion).

X b) Displace substantial- numbers of -existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? X c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? X Response: a. Butte County population has grown at a rate at or below all official population projections for the past 10 years. Projected population for 1990 was 195,000, while the actual census population was 1.82,000. The estimated population for January 1, 1999 was 201,600.

Since the General Plan Amendment and Rezone project create only 3 additional parcels, no impact is anticipated in relation to these public service concerns. The proposed Subdivision Map conforms to the NCSP. The subdivision may result in a need for additional law enforcement, fire protection.services, increased demand for water supplies, an incremental contribution to the generation of solid waste in excess in excess of landfill capacity and increased need for new elementary, junior and senior high school facilities. Project elements incorporated into the NCSP reduce these impacts to less than significant impacts. C. The proposal will cause an incremental increase in demand for police protection services. The cumulative impacts of increased development in rural areas impacts the ability of the Sheriffs Department to adequately provide police services to outlying areas. As a condition of project approval, the applicant will be required to place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet stating that "A development impact fee for Sheriffs facilities shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 3, Article II of the Butte County Code, prior to issuance of building permits. The fee amount will be determined and calculated as of the date of application for the building permit." d. The proposal will result in an incremental demand for school facilities in the area.

The fee amount will be determined and calculated as of the date of application for the building permits." While the school district maintains that these fees do not fully mitigate the impacts of the project, the County is precluded from imposing additional fees by the State Legislature. e. There will be no net loss of public parkland as a result of this General Plan Amendment and Rezone. However; approximately 3.3 acres of Open Space Zoning will be removed from the North Chico Specific Plan.

X b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? X Response: a. and b. The General Plan Amendment and Rezone's contribution of three additional parcels is not considered significant enough to warrant specific mitigation for area parks and recreation facilities. Although the General Plan Amendment and Rezone proposes to relocate the existing 5 -acre neighborhood park, the Chico Area Recreation District has been informed of the proposal and indicates that the new site for the park is more desirable as parkland than the previous site. The relocation may have adverse impacts on''the open space area along Keefer Slough.

The General Plan Amendment and Rezone will generate 30 additional traffic trips/day based upon 10 vehicle trips/day for each of the three additional parcels allowed based upon the trip Generation Manual of the Institute of Traffic Engineers for a single family residential use. The nearest public road is Garner Road, which is a County Road. Internal access will be provided to the proposed subdivision by collector roads and a through road which will connect to the Keefer Creek Estates Subdivision to the east. This is consistent with the circulation requirements of the North ,Chico Specific Plan. i, The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map conforms to the NCSP. The proposal will result in an increase of daily trips and peak hour trips. Project elements incorporated into the NCSP reduce this impact to less than significant levels. The NCSP requires that bus turnouts and bus shelters be provided on the new arterial road.. The applicant may be required to install at least one bus turn -out and provide a bus shelter along the project frontage on Garner Lane. The location must be approved by the.Department of Public Works. In addition, the NCSP requires the installation of a 10 foot wide path for pedestrian, horseback or bicycle use, along the new collector;' road (Guntren Lane), and adjacent to Keefer Slough. The footpath may be earth or gravel but must be well enough drained to be passable during wet weather. The path must be located clear of the 100 foot no development setback along Keefer Slough. ,Additionally, a Class II bike lane is required along Garner Lane. These requirements will be conditions of the Tentative Subdivision' Map. f. The proposed parkland may have to be enlarged to allow for adequate parking, clear of .the 100 foot setback required along Keefer Slough.

The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone is an alteration to'the North Chico Specific Plan. Consideration of this proposal will ultimately involve a policy. decision by the Butte County Board of Supervisors. The proposal to alter the Specific Plan by relocating a 5 -acre park, elimination of 3.3 acres of Open Space, and allowance of 3 additional parcels within the SR -1 zone may have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable. In addition, the Tentative Subdivision Map may have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable.

A. Habitat. The project site is located in what was originally Valley Grassland habitat; the site is also presently relatively flat. It appears in the past to have been an almond orchard or otherwise subjected to agricultural development. The fields appear to have been fallow for at least the past year or two. The present flora consists primarily of introduced weeds and grasses, with several smaller almond and valley oak trees. Little of the original Valley Grassland flora remains; a few native species have, however, become reestablished. There are no roads or other improvements (other than a few irrigation pipes) on the property, which is fenced along the perimeter. Access to the property is primarily from Garner Lane, between the Keefer Slough bridge and Green Meadow Lane, but is also accessible from perimeter roads to the north and east of the site. Valley Grassland -` Valley Grassland habitats are characterized by the predominance of annuals whose seeds germinate during the winter rains, the plants completing their life cycles by the onset of summer. In addition, there are usually a few mostly bulbous perennials that develop more slowly and tend to flower later. At this particular site there are four small valley oaks present, three being located toward the center of Parcel 15, and one toward the central border between Parcels 13 and 14. A number of relatively small (but mature) almond trees are scattered throughout the area, but the preponderance of vegetation consists of introduced or naturalized grasses and weeds. On the date of the field survey, the following identifiable vascular plant species (besides the almonds and oaks) were observed: American vetch, medusa head grass, bicolored, lupine, soft chess, wild oats, rose clover, annual rye, yellow star thistle, bindweed, curly dock, Mediterranean barley, wall barley, shepherd's purse, black mustard, spring vetch, common fiddleneck, ripgut grass, Ithuriel's spear, old man of spring, sky lupine, red -stemmed filaree, California poppy, willowherb, prickly sow thistle, prickly lettuce, giraffe heads, sticky mouse -eared chickweed, tidy tips, cutleaf geranium, many -flowered brodiaea, moth mullein, blue dicks, showy milkweed, and rough corn bedstraw. t�Fa.1t,�n{,111.i< L'y YtSx4� �,��a�u: iY:�rzifsrd'F ' ti B. Sensitive Species The fifth edition of the Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California, published by the California Native Plant Society in 1993, lists' for Butte County some 71 taxa that are considered sensitive to varying degrees. A number of the taxa are also on, or candidates for, federal and state lists of such,plants, and several candidate plants have been added since publication of the Inventory. ' Several species on federal and state lists of sensitive`or rare and endangered vascular plants have previously been reported from areas within a few miles of the project site. Many, however, are associated with special habitats such as vernal pools, which are not present at this location. Among the sensitive species that potentially could occur at this site are both the rare Butte County meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. californica) and woolly meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. floccosa). The site also contains habitat suitable for blue elderberry (Sambucus mexicana). While. blue elderberry plants are not sensitive or endangered at this time they are accorded special status because they. are host plants for a rare and endangered beetle. C. Methods The field survey was undertaken systematically on foot on a date when the sensitive or special status taxa mentioned should have been readily identifiable. The entire project site was checked along meandering transects throughout the site. All microhabitats potentially supporting any listed taxa were searched, and some samples were taken for additional scrutiny with a microscope. A checklist of the plants present was prepared. D. Mitigations No evidence of the current or recent past presence of listed or special status plants was observed, and they are presumed not to occur on the site at this time; mitigations for such.plants do not appear, therefore, to be required. Most counties require replacement of any native oaks that are removed during development. Accordingly, any oaks that are removed should be replaced in like kind (i.e., in this instance with valley oaks [Quercus lobata]) and planted elsewhere'on the site—with at least a fifteen foot interval between them --on a two for one basis after development. Some means of keeping potential developmental runoff (e.g., water from fertilized lawns and plant pesticide residues) from entering Keefer Slough at the south margin of the site should be provided.

SECTION 1: ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS A. No environmental documentation was submitted at the time of project review. SECTION 2: CONSISTENCY FINDINGS FOR PROPOSED PROJECT A. The proposed project is inconsistent with the 1978 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the Chico Municipal Airport, as amended on October 21, 1998, and December 29, .1999, as follows: A portion of the proposed project is located in Overflight Protection Zone A. This area is subject to frequent low altitude overflight activity. No new residential uses are permitted within this zone. The proposed project shows one parcel and the majority of two other parcels, planned for single-family residential use, in this zone. 2. A portion of the proposed project is located in Overflight Protection Zone B.' This area is subject to less intensive overflight activity. No new single-family development is allowed, but multi -family uses may be permitted in this zone. The proposed project shows three parcels and the majority of four other parcels, planned for single-family residential use, in this zone. The balance of the proposed development is in Safety Zone 6 (Traffic Pattern Zone). This area permits residential development at a density not to exceed 1 dwelling unit per 2.5 acres. Inconsistent with that, the proposed project shows residential lots ranging from 1.0 to 1.3 acres in size within this zone. • Butte County • Airport Land Use Commission 0 B.. Approval 'of,the project as* proposed would necessitate the adoption of Overriding Findings by a 2/3 vote'of the governing body.

MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PLANNING DIVISION To: Reviewing Agencies and Departments. From: Daniel C-. Breedon,` Senior Planne nn Subject: Revised proposal, for Stephen J. Schuster, Tentative Subdivision Map 00-03 Pheasant Landing III Date: June 26, 2000 X. c The Planning Division is providing a -revised map regarding this proposal, which may have already been reviewed by your department: The North Chico Specific Plan(NCSP) indicates that a 5 acre park site is located on the subject. property. The applicant's project did not originally account for this site. The applicant desires to relocate the park, which is designated as "'Public" by the General Plan and as P -Q (Public -Quasi Public) by the County Zoning Ordinance.. The applicant has redesigned the subject Tentative Parcel Map to account for the park, and its relocation. A General Plan Amendment and Rezone has been submitted by the applicant, which will also be sent to your department for review. The revised project description for this project is as follows: Tentative Subdivision Map proposing twenty-nine, 1 (+/-) acre residential, parcels, one, 1.1 acre parcel(Lot."A") for community sewage disposal, one, 5 (+/-) acre parcel (Lot "C") for future neighborhood park use, and one, 5 (+/-) acre parcel (Lot "B") for riparian buffer, bike trail and storm water retention area. The project will be provided with water service by individual domestic wells. Roads shall be dedicated for public use. The property is 43,83 acres in size, and is zoned SR -1. (Suburban Residential, 1 -acre parcels) and P=Q (Public -Quasi Public), with a General Plan designation of Agricultural Residential and Public. A General Plan Amendment and Rezone (GPA/RZ 00-05) has been submitted concurrently, to move the current park area as shown on the North Chico Specific Plan, from the northwest corner of the property'to the southwest corner. If your department has any further comments, please notify me at the below address prior to July 12, 2000. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Daniel C. Breedon, Senior Planner: Butte County Department of Development Services - Planning Division 7 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION.. Minutes of May 17, 2000 3. ALUC File No. A00-02 Consistency findings for Steve Schuster - Tentative Subdivision Map, APN 047-350-013, 014 and 015. Mr. Sanders presented the report and recommendations prepared for the project. Commissioner Wallrich pointed out that the Recommendation on page two of staff s report should reflect Steve Schuster's Tentative Subdivision Map, ALUC File No. A00- 02 and not Bellin Trust et. al. Commissioner Gerst recommended that'in Zone 6' should be added to the last line of Section 3, 1. Chair Rosene opened the hearing to the public. Steve Schuster, potential developer of the project, said the Commission's adoption of the. December,1999 Policy trashes the property rights in the area: It also devalues the property by approximately 250%. He said he would appeal ALUC's decision to the Board of Supervisors. He said the Commission had thrown out.the density of the North Chico Specific Plan. He said he would actively seek restitution for the property; along with others who live and own property on the street. Chair Rosene asked Mr. Schuster how the property has been devalued by 250%? Mr. Schuster replied that the current County zoning is one dwelling unit per acre. If it is set at 2.5 dwelling units per acre, a considerable amount of property is lost for development. ALUC is making the land virtually undevelopable: Developing the land at 2.5 dwelling units per acre is too expensive. Commissioner Lambert asked why Mr. Schuster requested developing only 34 parcels when he could have developed all 48 acres? Mr. Schuster answered that the North Chico Specific Plan requires that buffer zones are left in place. The buffer zones eat up about 8 acres. Also, the way the lots lay out, it is not always possible to get one unit per acre and leave enough space between houses. His first idea was to apply clustering to get 48 lots, but he was told that ALUC had eliminated clustering within the airport zone. The ALUC has eliminated everything in the area that makes it worth developing. There were no further public comments and the hearing was closed to the public. Chair Rosene said the Commission was charged with protecting the airports. He said the major reason that the United States is losing so many airports is because of residential encroachment. It was moved by Commissioner Lambert, seconded by Commissioner Gerst, and carried to deny the'project, based on the inconsistencies and the lack of findings that would comply with the 1978 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the Chico Municipal Airport, as amended on October 21, 1998, and December 29, 1999, for ALUC File No. 00-02 Consistency Finding for Steve Schuster - Tentative Subdivision Map, APN 047- 350-013, 014 and 015. Chair Rosene asked if Mr. Schuster decides to redesign his plan to meet the 2.5 acre criteria, would it come back before ALUC? Mr. Sanders said given the current state of affairs with the General Plan and the inconsistency with the ALUC, all projects would come back. ■ Airport'Land Use Commission ■ Minutes of May 17, 2000 ■ Page 2 ■ - SVD AGENDA ITEM - G.3.

The parcels range in size from 1.0 to 1.3 acres with an approximately 8 -acre riparian buffer zone on the south side of the development. The property is located on the east side of Garner Lane, immediately north of Keefer Slough; northwest of the Chico Municipal Airport. FOR: Airport Land Use Commission Meeting of May.17, 2000 SUMMARY: StaffrecommendsAL UCfind the project inconsistent with the 1978 Chico Municipal Airport, CL UP as amended on October 21, 1998, and December 29, 1999. ANALYSIS: The project site is located northwest of the airport on the east side of Garner Lane, immediately north of Keefer Slough. The property is in the.County's jurisdiction and is within the North Chico Specific Plan. Current zoning for the site is SR -1 (Suburban Residential -1 acre minimum parcel size). Allowable uses are one single family dwelling per parcel and accessory agricultural uses: Maximum building height and building coverage restrictions are 35 feet and 15% of the lot'area, respectively. According to the 1999 Chico Airport Land Use Plan amendment, Safety Zone Map "6-1," the proj ect site is partially located in Overflight Protection Zone A/Overflight Protection Zone B and totally situated within Safety Zone 6 -Traffic Pattern Zone (refer to Exhibit Q. Overflight Zone A prohibits new residential uses. Overflight Protection Zone B prohibits new single family residential uses but allows multi -family residential development. Safety Zone 6 allows residential development at a density not to exceed one dwelling unit per 2.5 acres. As proposed, Lots 16, 17, and 27 are in Overflight Protection Zone A and cannot be developed with any type of residential uses. Lots 28 through 33 and a portion of Lot 34 are in Overflight Protection Zone B where the development of new single family dwellings are prohibited. The remainder of the property, approximately 28 acres, may be developed with a 2.5 acre minimum parcel size. Taking into account all of the CLUP provisions, the development potential for the site is approximate) 1 I parcels of 2.5 acres or larger. All lots must be located in Traffic Pattern Zone 6. Development in this zone is subject to the following criteria: • Butte County • Airport Land Use Commission • I . The intensity of use shall not be greater than 100 people per.acre. 2. Caretaker residences are compatible uses within all CNEL ranges provided that they are ancillary to the primary use of the property. Interior noise levels shall not exceed 45 dB. CNEL. 3. Measures to achieve an interior noise level of 45 dB CNEL must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of buildings where the public is received, office areas, and other areas where people work or congregate. 4. Communication towers are prohibited. 5. Churches, nursing care -facilities, hospitals, colleges and universities, elementary and secondary, schools, child care facilities, and similar aggregations of people are prohibited. 6.. No bulk petroleum products (except airport related); flammables or explosives, or chemical storage above ground is permitted.( The above conditons are not applicable to the proposed project for single family residential uses. Airspace Protection and Safety The topography of the site is generally level. The site elevation is approximately 200 feet above sea level. The project site is located under the horizontal surface which has an elevation of 388 feet above sea -level. With approximately 188 feet between the ground and horizontal surface, and a 35 - foot maximum building height imposed by the zoning, no conflicts are expected. The execution of an avigation easement is recommended to protect future airport operations. The 1978 CLUP for the Chico Municipal Airport, as amended on October 21, 1998, contains diagrams which depict the locations of potential aircraft -related accidents for the facility based on general. accident scatter information presented within the 1993 Airport Land Use Planning Handbook (refer to Exhibit D - CIC -17). The highest concentration of both departure- and arrival - related aircraft accidents takes place within the Runway Protection Zone and Approach Surface. Due to the project site's location in an overflight zone, approximately 6,000 feet away from the northerly end of runway 13L, the risk of aircraft -related accidents is not considered significant for the residential density recommended in the CLUP. Environmental Documentation No environmental. documentation has yet been prepared for this project.
