Section 1: Environmental Findings. A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act identifying potentially significant environmental effects that the project' may have. Provisions and the design of the project will reduce such effects to a level of insignificance; and B. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed, analyzed, and considered', the proposed Negative Declaration with mitigation measures prior to making its, decision on the project, and the Negative Declaration reflects the -independent, judgement of .the Butte County; _and Y Section 2: Zoning Ordinance Findings. 0 Planning i?eputna`nt AUG 14 1995 ®roville, California A. The proposed use of the property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies in that it is an expansion of a currently permitted use allowed in this zone with a Use Permit. B. The proposed use of the property would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties in that it would not alter the present use of the property, nor add a new land use that would conflict with surrounding properties. C. The proposed use of the property would not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood or other general health, welfare, and safety of the County in that no new land uses are proposed that may result in safety or health issues, e.g., traffic impacts, hazardous waste impacts, etc., but rather, the proposed use will simply expand the current facilities allowing for the continued use of present activities.

Project Description and Location: Use Permit to allow the addition of classrooms to an existing church located at the southwest side of Lassen Avenue & Burnap Avenue. 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 affect subsurface earth conditions. Project area is already level, minimal grading required if any. Any fill placed on site for expanded building will have to meet the requirements of Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code and will be compacted to accepted engineering standards. Mitigation: None required. b. Disruptions, displa.sements, compaction or overcovering of the soil? .No X -.-.Maybe . k -zone: i his p: ,..)posal may result in some minor soil disruption. for foundation +.work. )ire pr;,;�Lt area is already compacted with asphalt covering over most of the parcel where there is no building coverage. Expansion of the building will create additional compaction or overcovering on the interior area only. (Site visit) Mitigation: None required. c. Substantial change in topography or ground surface relief features? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not significantly affect topography or ground relief features because the property is nearly level. The surface configuration of the site will not be altered any more than they already,have been by previous development on this site. (Site visit) Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 1 Church of Christ, File #95-150 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. The site has long been altered by human activities and development. No unique features exist on site. *(Site visit) 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 proposal will not cause substantial erosion of the soils because no significant soil disruption will occur. The site is level. The erosion potential of the Vina fine sandy loam soil on site is low. (Soil Survey for Chico, 1929) 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 proposal will not affect any watercourse. There are no rivers, streams, lakes or beach sands on the project site nor in the immediate vicinity. (Site visit) Mitigation: None required. g. Loss of prime agriculturally productive soils outside designated urban areas? Yes No X Maybe Response:., O project site A located.4m.an.: area with prime or high quality agricultural soil; but the site mostly, covered by buildings and parking area. No additional 'oss, of agriidditural ' soils will rest!!t from this pi*o{ect. 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 as a result of a seismic event is remote. However, all of Butte County is still classified as a Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone Vlll and potential ground shaking is possible. The project site is located approximately 4-5 miles west of the Tuscan Monocline. Construction of buildings to Uniform Building code standards will provide adequate protection to occupants incase of seismic activity. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 2 0 Church of Chris; File #95-150 2. Air. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality? Yes No X Maybe 46 Response: The proposal will not affect air quality because it will not result in any increase in the number of vehicle trips. Some short term air quality impacts will probably result during the construction phases of the project. Increased vehicle and equipment emissions during site preparation and construction may occur. Mitigation: None required. b. The creation of objectionable odors? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not create any long term objectionable odors, smoke or fumes. Some fumes and smoke may occur during construction activities, but this occurrence would cease once construction is completed. Mitigation: None required. c. Alteration of air movement, moisture, temperature, or any change in climate, whether locally or regionally? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not affect local or regional climate. 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 or 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 proposai result in: a. Substantial changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements, in fresh waters? Yes No X Maybe Response: There are 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 ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 3 Church of Chris% File #95-150 Response: This project will not result in the creation of new impervious surfaces such as roads, structures, and driveways. A portion of the area proposed for building expansion is covered with impervious material. The interior area, approximately 1500 s.f., is covered with groundcover. This area will no longer allow infiltration for runoff once the project is complete. The effect is minimal in that this area represents approximately 6% of the entire parcel which is already completely covered. Runoff rates and volume will not be significantly changed from the site's current condition. (Site visit) Mitigation: None required. 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 very little additional runoff is expected. The proposed building expansion will cover areas presently either covered with impervious material or will add an additional minimal amount of coverage. All off-site surface runoff will utilize E. Lassen Avenue storm drainage infrastructure. Mitigation: None required. d. Alterations to the course or flow of flood waters? Yes No X Maybe Response: The site is not prone to flooding, 'nor are there any water courses in the area that could cause a flood and therefore no impact to flood waters is possible. ((Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Panel No. 0095B) 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 Ma�jb- K° Response: The proposal will neither discharge pollutants into any surface water body nor alter any water body that could result in an impact to water quality. The project will not significantly alter present conditions. There will not be an increase in either volume or rate of discharges into surface waters. (Site visit) 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 ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 4 Church of Christ, File #95-150 Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not directly affect any aquifer. Mitigation: None required. i. Substantial reduction in the amount of water otherwise available for public water supplies? Yes No X Maybe Response: A substantial reduction in public water supplies will not occur as a result of project approval. The only changes will be the weekday uses of water for four hours each day for the children and staff for the classrooms. Mitigation: None required. j. Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not expose people or properly to flooding. The project site is not within a designated food zone area and therefore no people or property will be subject to a flood hazard. 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 property is located in a highly urbanized environment where little natural habitat exists. Much . of the faij;;a in the area consists of exotics either brought in for landscaping purposes or accidentally over time:.„ _ C,., Habitat or, site has been rop/aced, years ago, with a neveloprrferlt'of the 76hurch and'psrking area. One deodora tree exists onsite, in the exterior area proposed for expansion. Mitigation: None required. b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of plants? Yes No X Maybe Response: The property does not contain habitat that would support any unique, rare or endangered plant species. What little plant life exists on site is a result of landscaping efforts. (Site visit) Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 5 Church of Christ, File #95-150 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: Approval of this request will not result in the introduction of exotic plant species into the area. What plant species there are onsite, will remain unchanged except for removal of the deodora vee and the groundcover. The site has long been developed. Mitigation: None required. d. Substantial reduction in acreage of any agricultural crop? Yes No X Maybe Response: The site does not contain any agricultural crops and is presently developed with a church and parking areas. (Site visit) 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. The site contains no habitat area as it is covered by the existing building and parking area. (Site visit) Mitigation: None required.. b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of animals? `fes _ No X Maybe Besponse: The property does not contain habitat that would support any unique, rare or endangered species of animals. (Site visit) Mitigation: None required. c. Introduction of new species of animals into an area, or in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals?

The expansion of the church facilities will provide space for classrooms in which weekday classes will be held from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. This may mean an incremental addition of traffic for those children who are driven to school. With both access/egress from E. Lassen and Burnap Avenue, traffic flow should not be adversely impacted. The layout of the current facility indicates that parents will access the property from Burnap Avenue, pulling into the parking area, off of the public street. For traffic and safety reasons, this is the preferred manner to access the property. Mitigation: None required. b. Effects on existing parking facilities or demand for new parking? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not affect parking because compliance with the parking standards contained within Butte County Code Section 24-35 will be enforced. The number of parking spaces indicated on the Site Plan are sufficient for the proposed additional square footage, classroom space and employees. (Site Plan) Mitigation:.

Church of Christ - proposed Negative Declaration regarding environmental impacts and Use i Pem►it to -allow the construction of additional rooms to an existing structure on 0.67 acres of land on property zoned R-3 (Residential) located on the south side bf E Lassen Avenue and Bumap Avenue, identified as AP 007-570-001, Chico. (SH) (95-150) Mr. Hackney said the applicant wishes to expand their facilities to allow for Sunday school classes, not daily classes. It was not understood at first that the plans are only for Sunday school classes and not daily classes. If that had been clear, a finding of categorical exemption would have been made. The initial concerns of traffic and parking were not found to be problems, since there will not be an increase in membership of the church. Commissioner Lynch thought that it would be too restrictive to not be able to use the classrooms for any purpose on any other day, as stated in Condition 7. He asked about the legal language included in the new format of the Agenda Report. i W. Hogan explained the advantages of the new style of Agenda Reports. �. • t Commissioner Lambert asked for clarification of the comments about parking spaces on Page 1 of the Agenda Report? Mr. Hackney explained that the additional. building square footage-would.require more spaces, but -there .are sufficient existing parking spaces to meet the requirements. There was a discussion of requiring landscaping. Mr. Hogan said that in this case the parking spaces are already existing, and that is why landscaping 5% of the parking area was not required. Commissioner Lambert noted that if large shade trees are planted, there can be fewer trees than if smaller decorative trees are planted HEARING OPINED TO THE PUBLIC Steve Bokulich, representing the Church, was present. Conmiissioner Lambert asked if the wording of Condition 7 is acceptable? E; Mr. Bokulich said that the condition is acceptable, although there may be occasional uses other than Sunday School. 6 Chair -man Nelson said that the condition should be worded so as not to preclude use of the rooms for other uses on + other days. I Mr. Bokulich said the rooms would only be rarely used for purposes other than Sunday School. " f Mr. Hogan suggested modifying the condition to say, "The additional classrooms shall predominantly be used for Sunday School. i; Commissioner Lynch suggested adding the words, "and other purposes, but not for a regular parochial school." He suggested putting Conditions 1, 2, 3 and 4 at the end of the Use Pemiit. t Mr. Hogan said that those are important facts that need to be known up front before even considering the conditions. Chaimian Nelson asked if there is any landscaping in the parking lot? Mr. Bokulich said there is no landscaping in the parking lot or around the shed, just around the building. HEARING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC BUTTE COUNTY Plann-ing Commission Minutes - July 27, 1995 F { t 1 k j f t Chairman Nelson asked about the -5% landscaping requirement. �' 3 _ J Mr. Hogan said that in the past, landscaping has not been required where there is no modification of the parking lot. He said that asphalt would have to be cut out to insert landscaping, and the toxic dirt would -have to be dug out. Commissioner Lynch was opposed to a retroactive requirement at a great expense. 3 It was moved by Commissioner Lambert, seconded by Commissioner Seegert, aid carred unanimously for approval of the application for a Use Permit for the Church of Christ on AP 007-570-001, subject to the findings and conditions listed in Exhibit A, with a modification to Condition 7: "The additional classrooms shall be used predominantly for Sunday School and not as a regular parochial school." There was a discussion of possibly making changes in the Land Use Dement of the General Plan or the Zoning Code to more fully address landscaping concerns. c l BUTTE COUNTY Planning Commission Minutes - July 27, 1995 AGENDA ITEM AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Planning Manager BY: Stephen Hackney, Associate Planner DATE: June 15, 1995 REQUEST: Use Permit on AP#007-570-001 for Church of Christ: A request for a Use Permit to allow the construction of additional rooms to an existing structure on 0.67 acres of land located on the -south side of E Lassen Avenue & Burnap Avenue, in an R-3 zone within the Chico area This project is located in District 3. (95-150) RELATED ITEMS: None FOR: Planning Convnission Meeting of July 27, 1995 ABSTRACT: Staff recommends approval of this application. PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS: This request is for the construction of additional space, for classroom purposes, to the existing structure. The existing structure consists of 6657 square feet. This proposal would allow the construction of an additional 2065 square feet. One tree (deodora) and a grassy area (surrounded on three sides by the existing structure) will be replaced by the expansion. The project site is accessed by both E Lassen Avenue and Burnap Avenue. Parking, is located on the property along both these streets. A parking area encompasses the back half of the site accessed off of Burnap Avenue. The project is located in a highly urbanized area The proposal is located in an R-3 zone. The parcel is surrounded by R-3 and MHP (Mobile Home Park) zones. The current land use -- church facilities -- is a permitted use with a Use Permit. This proposal requests expanding the current land use. ANALYSIS: The Church requests this permit in order to provide more space for Sunday School classrooms. No additional occupancy loads are' expected as a result of this project. The existing parking area and number of parking spaces will not be affected by this project. Although one tree and an open grassy area (surrounded on three sides by the existing structure) will be lost to this expansion, no rare or endangered species will be affected, nor will there be a loss of any significant habitat The site is accessed on Burnap Avenue. The proposed expansion requires several additional parking spaces, according to Butte County Code 24-240. There are sufficient existing parking spaces to meet County requirements for parking, based on the submitted site plan. Approval of this project will not affect the ■ Butte County Department of Development Services - Planning Division 0 • AGENDA ITEM conditions by which this site is accessed.

Lassen and Burnap, in an R-3 zone within the Chico area. This project is located in District 1. FINDINGS: Section 1: Environmental Findings. A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act identifying potentially significant environmental effects that the project may have. Provisions and the design of the .project will reduce such effects to a level of insignificance; and B. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed, analyzed, and considered the proposed Negative Declaration with mitigation measures prior to making its decision on the project, and the Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement of the Butte County; and Section 2: Zoning Ordinance Findings. A. The proposed use of the property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies in that it is an expansion of a currently permitted use allowed in this zone with a Use Permit. B. The proposed use of the property would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties in that it would not alter the present use of the property, nor add a new land use that would conflict with surrounding properties. C. The proposed use of the property would not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and ■ Butte County Department of Development Services - Planning Division ■ 3 safety of the persons residing or worldng in the neighborhood or other general health, welfare, and safety of the County in that no new land uses are proposed that may result in safety or health issues, e.g., traffic impacts, hazardous waste impacts, etc., but rather, the proposed use will simply expand the current facilities allowing for the continued use of present activities. Section 3: Conditions: A. Subject to the findings indicated in Sections 1 and 2 of this Permit and the conditions below, a Negative Declaration is hereby adopted and Use Permit approved for the Church of Christ on AP -4007-570-001 to allow expansion of current facilities on property .zoned R-3 located on the southwest side of E Lassen Avenue and Burnap Avenue,_ Chico.

PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS: This request is for the construction of additional space, for classroom purposes, to the existing structure. The existing structure consists of 6657 square feet. This proposal would allow the construction of an additional 2065 square feet. One tree (deodora) and a grassy area (surrounded on three sides by the existing structure) will be replaced by the expansion. The project site is accessed. by rvoth E. Lassen Avenue and Burnap Avenue. Parking is located on. the iiroperty along both these streets. A parking area encompasses the back half of the site accessed off of Bumap Avenue. The project is located in a highly urbanized.area. The proposal is located in an R-3 zone. The parcel is surrounded by R-3 and MHP (Mobile Home Park) zones. The current land use -- church facilities -- is a permitted use with a Use Permit. This proposal requests expanding the current land use. ANALYSIS: The Church requests this permit in order to provide more space for Sunday. School classrooms. No additional occupancy loads are expected as a result of this project. The existing parking area and number of parking spaces will not be affected by this project. Although one tree and an open grassy area (surrounded on three sides by the existing structure) will be lost to this expansion, no rare or endangered species will be affected, nor will there be a loss of any significant habitat. The site is accessed on Burnap Avenue. The proposed expansion requires several additional parking spaces, according to Butte County Code 24-240.
