AGENDA ITEM - F.1.
TO: Honorable Chair and Airport Land Use Commission
FROM: Laura Webster,-ALUC Staff
DATE: June 2, 1998
ITEM: ALUC File No.. A98-07 (Bufte Counly General Plan Amendment and Rezone
GPA #98-04 - Faria) on APN 048-040-028: A request for consistency findings for
a General Plan Amendment -from High and Low'Density Residential to Commercial
and a Rezone from R4 (High Density Residential) and SR (Suburban Residential)
to C-2 (General Commercial), located on the east side of Cohasset Road, 650 feet
north, of East Avenue.
FOR: Airport Land Use Commission Meeting of June 17, 1998
SUMMARY: The County of Butte is presently processing the above mentioned project and has
submitted a comment sheet and map to ALUC for review and comment. Staff recommends the
Commission find the proje ct consistentwith the Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan.
ANALYSIS: This Butte County project involves a 2.059 acre site. The applicant is requesting
a General Plan Amendment from High and Low Density Residential to Commercial.' If the
General Plan Amendment is approved, the property will also be subsequently rezoned from R4
(High Density Residential) and SR (Suburban Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial).
According to materials submitted by the project applicant, the purpose of the project is to facilitate
the expansion of Courtesy Motors, although a numb ' er of commercial uses could theoretically be
permitted if the General Plan Amendment'and Rezone are approved. The tentative site plan
identifies a proposed 10,080 square foot single story structure located within the front half of the
lot which would accommodate a vehicle showroom, offices and an automobile service area. The
remainder of the site would be developed with landscaped vehicle display areas adjacent to
Cohasset Road, and other outdoor vehicle parking and storage areas.
The project description was referred to Airport Land Use Commission staff on May 8, 1998 for
comment as part of the routine Request for Comments, and the Commission must respond within
60 days. Staff s review consisted of land use compatibility and noise sensitivity. Based upon this.
data staff informed the Butte County Planning Division that the project was tentatively found to
be consistent with the adopted Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan and would receive a formal
ALUC recommendation at its June 17, 1998 meeting.

Land Use Compatibilfty
Staff reviewed the req"uest pursuant to the currently adopted Chico Municipal Airport Environs
Plan (CMAEP). A determination was made that the project site is located within the Chico
Municipal Airport Study Area (CIC -6) and the Horizontal Surface, for� that. faci I ity. However, the
site is located outside.of all Compatible.Land Use Zone (CLUZ) categories and areas depicted
on Figure CIC -13. The project'site is also located outside of all defined safety areas (clear zone,
approach zone and overflidht area) and both heavy and light aircraft traffic patterns depicted in'
Figure CIC -2.
Noise Sensitivity
The project site is located outside of both the existing and Orojected 55 CNEL contours- identified
in Figures CIC -2 and CIC -3 within the CMAEP. Although not an adopted document by the Butte
County ALUC, the project is also lo(�ted outside the existing and projected (2010) 55 CNEL
cont6urs identified within the 1995 FAR Part 15b Airport Noise Compatibil.ity Program for the
Chico,Municipal Airport., However, it should be noted that the above documents do'not address
single event hoise levels over the site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission
find, that the proposed Butte County General Plan Amendment and Rezone A98-07 (Butte County
Pla , nning Division GPA#98-04 - Faria)-, on APN 048-040-028 is consistent with the Chico
Municipal Airport Environs Plan subject to th 6following findings and recommended conditions in
attached Exhibit "N'.
If the ALUC would like to �take additional action on this project it would be limited to. a
recommendation to t he Butte County Planning Commission that although the project is.consistent
with the currently adopted Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan, the ALUC does have additional
concerns. This recommendation would only be- advisory and would not require any overriding
findings to dismiss.

RE: GPA 98-04'(Ran Faria)
(Assessor's Parciel No. 048-004-280)
Dear Mr. Betts:
Thank you for the opportunity to commenton the above ref'erenced county application.The
following response Is submitted for your consideration with regards to the proposed County
General Plan amendment from High Density Residential and Low Density, Residential to
Comm'erclal and a rezone from R4/SR to C-2 Commercial.
The'proposed land use and zone change would encourage uses which are more Intense
than those Uses permitted under the current designations and zoning for the eke. Approval
of the general plan change and'rezone may res ult in land use conflicts with the adjacent
established residential neighborhoods located west, north and east of the project site.
It should also be noted that there is a heritage oak which is not shown on the proposed site
plan submitted with the request for comments. 'The hedtage oak should be saved, and
development of the site should incor�porate the oak Into any proposed project.
Should you have any question, please contact me at 895-4795.
Sincerely,
Ed Palmeri

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. ' Steven Betts, Butte' County Planning Division
FROM: Laura Webster, Butte County ALUC Staff
DATE: May 19,1998
SUBJECT:'- Request For Com M*ents on GPA98-04 (Ron Faria)
I TRA # 062 029
Project Description/Location: General Plan Amendment request to change 2.059 acres located
on the east side of Cohasset Road approximately 650 feet north of the intersection of East
Avenue, from High Density Residential and Low Density Residential to Commercial. If approved,
the project would also involve a rezone from R4 and SR to C-2.
The following informal comments are'provide'd by staffbased upon a cursory review of the
referenced project.
(1) The project site is located within the Airport Area of Influence for the Chico 'Municipal
Airport and the Horizontal. Surface for. that facility.
(2) The site is located outside of the following:
'All,defined safety areas (clear zone, approach zone and overflight protection area).
All Compatible Land Use Zone (CLUZ) Categories as aefined 'Within the 1978 Chico
Municipal Airport Environs Plan (CMAEP)'
Existing and projected 55 CNEL'contours identified:within the CMAEP.
Both the heavy and light aircraft traffic patterns shown on Figure CIC -2 of the
CMAEP.
(3) Althoughhot an adopted document by the Butte County ALUC, the project is also located
outside the existing and projected 55 CNEL contours identified within the 1995 FAR Part
150 Airport Noise Compatibility Program for the Chico Municipal Airport.
(4) Based upon the above, it appears that a Commercial land use designation would be
consistent with the 1978 Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan. However, any foi�mal
consistency findings would have to be made by the Butte County ALUC.
The following conditions are also likely to be recommended by the Commission:
a. The property owner shall sign an avigation easement granting the right of continued
use of the Chico Municipal Airport in the airspace above the subject parcel and
acknowledging any and all existing or potential ai�port operational impacts.

�,adverse impacts on adjacent properties and aircraft flight activities.,
d. Tethered balloons or -other advertising materials which extend into the airspace
above the property should be limit I ed to a maximum of 35 feet'in height measured
