Dear Members;
I would like to add my support to the proposed expansion of the C.DY.
Facility at the Chico Airport. The added: area will provide the Air Tankers with the -
necessary space as well as a ready supply of emergency water if needed.
The last few years fires in the northern state have clearly demonstrated how immensely
important itis to maintain the C.D.F. at the Chico Airport. ` As the northern state '
continues to grow in population more and more rural areas are developed, expanding the
fire danger each year.* At the same time development of business and homes are closing
in on the airport. This is the time to establish. Chico as THE firefighting airbase in the •
northern California area. .
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Primary Compatibility Criteria
Butte County Alrport Land Use Compatibility Plan
2-14
•
•
Countywide Policies / Chapter 2
NOTES:
1 Residential development should not contain more than the indicated number of dwelling units (both primary and
secondary) per gross acre. With clustering, some parcels may be much smaller than others as long as the
maximum overall density criterion is not exceeded. Clustering of units is encouraged in Compatibility Zones 82 and
C — see Policy 4.2.6 for limitations.
2 Usage calculations shall include all people who may be on the property (e.g., employees, customers/visitors, etc.)
both indoors and outside. These criteria are intended as general planning guidelines to aid in determining the
acceptability of proposed land uses. Additional guidance is provided by Appendix C.
3 Open land requirements are intended to be applied with respect to an entire zone. Community general plarts and/or
implementing policies shall indicate how and where the requirements will be met. Application of open land require-
ments to individual development proposals is at the discretion of the local jurisdiction and is dependent upon the
size of the development (some Individual parcels may be too small to accommodate the minimum -size open area
requirement) and whether the requirements can be made solely on public property. See supporting compatibility
policies on safety (Policy 4.2.5) for definition of open land.
4 The uses fisted here are ones which are explicitly prohibited regardless of whether they meet the intensity criteria. In
addition to these explicitly prohibited uses, other uses will normally not be permitted in the respective compatibility
zones because they do not meet the usage intensity criteria.
5 Airport proximity and the potential for aircraft overflights should be disclosed as part of all real estate transactions In-'
volving property within any of the airport influence area zones. Easement dedication and deed notice requirements.
apply only to new development.
6 The total number of people permitted on a project site at any time, except rare special events, must not exceed the
indicated usage intensity times the gross acreage of the site. Rare special events are ones (such as an air show at
an airport) for which a facility is not designed and normally not used and for which extra safety precautions can be
taken as appropriate.
7 Clustering of nonresidential development is permitted except in Zone A. However, no single acre of a project site
shall exceed the indicated number of people per acre. See Policy 4.2.6 for details.
8, An intensity bonus may be allowed in Zones 82 and C it the building design Includes features intended to reduce
risks to occupants in the event of an aircraft collision with the building. -See Policy 4.2.7 for details.
9 Hazards to flight include physical. (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of
aircraft operations. Land use development. which may cause the. attraction of birds to increase is also prohibited.
See the supporting compatibility policies on airspace protection (Policies 4.3.2 and 4.3.6) for details. -
10 For the purposes of these criteria, children's schools include through grade 12.
11 Storage of aviation fuel and other aviation -related flammable materials on an airport is exempted from this criterion.
Storage of up to 2,000 gallons of nonaviation flammable materials is also exempted.
12 NLA = Noise Level Reduction; the outside -to -inside sound level attenuation which the structure provides. See the
supporting compatibility policy on interior noise (Policy 4.1.5) for details.
13 Objects up to 35 feet in. height are permitted; however, the Federal Aviation Administration may require marking and
lighting of certain objects. See supporting compatibility policy on height restrictions (Policy 4.3.2) for details.
14 Two options are presented for residential densities in Compatibility Zone C. Option (1) requires an average parcel
size of at least 5.0 gross acres. Option (2) requires a density of at least 4.0 dwelling units per acre (an average
parcel size no greater than 0.2 gross acres). In locations where only one of these options is considered acceptable,
the compatibility maps in Chapter 3 show either a C(1 j or a C(2) symbol. In locations where either option is allowed,
the map is marked with just the letter C. In the latter locations, the choice between the two options is at the
discretion of the local land use jurisdiction. All other criteria for Zone C apply to both the C(1) and C(2) designations.
This two -option criterion is based upon a determination that the intrusiveness of aircraft noise is the most significant
compatibility factor in Zone C; safety is only a minor concern The concept is that noise concerns can be minimized
either by limiting the number of dwellings in the affected area or by allowing high densities which tend to have
comparatively high ambient noise levels. [Corrected 9126] .

Dear Mr. Bearquiver:
On .behalf of the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission, I have reviewed the Draft
Environmental Assessment prepared for the Enterprise Rancheria. The following comments pertain
solely to the compatibility of the project with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
(ALUCP) for the Oroville Airport. �Z00
The proposed development by the Enterprise Rancheria is located within four different Compatibility
Zones; these are A, B-1, B-2, and C (refer to attached map). Each of these zones has limitations on
• residential densities and development intensities based on noise, safety, overflight, and proximity
to airport facilities (refer to attached table). In referring to the table, you can see that no dwellings
are allowed in Zone A. Zone B-1 limits residential density to one dwelling unit per 10 acres. Zone
B-2 limits residential density to one dwelling unit per 5 acres. Zone C has a two-tiered density
requirement of either one dwelling unit per 5 acres or > 4 dwelling units per acre. The proposed
parcel layout in the draft environmental document is not compatible with any of the mentioned
compatibility zones.
In conclusion, the project cannot be found consistent with the ALUCP as proposed unless the local
jurisdiction (Butte County) adopts override findings. To develop the subject project site with 43
dwelling units and maintain compatibility with the ALUCP, only one development scenario would
work. This scenario could be achieved by clustering all proposed units within Zone C; the density
must also be at least 4 dwelling units per acre.
Thank you for the opportunity to review your project. Feel free to call me, or staff, should you need
any additional information or have questions. You can reach meat (530)342-4300 or staff at 538-
6571.
Sincerely yours,
Norm Rosene,

OM�ISSIOt1
AIRPORT LAND USE C
The membership of the North Valley Pilots Association would like to commend the
efforts of the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission on the recent adoption of the
professionally developed Comprehensive Land -Use Plan (2000 CLUP).
We recognize the extreme importance of the CLUP in protecting the future of Butte
County airports, especially Chico Municipal Airport (CMA) and Oroville Airport. From
an economic standpoint, CMA represents an irreplaceable, multimillion -dollar
investment. It generates over 250 flight line jobs, 60,000 passenger annually, and over 3
million pounds of cargo per year. All of these jobs, commerce, and opportunities are at
stake. Is the City of Chico willing to risk all these economic benefits made possible by
the existence of CMA, in order to underwrite the profits for a few selected real estate
developers? As airport users, we have seen how quickly an anti -airport neighborhood
group can get restrictions, curfews and closures imposed on a facility. (eg. Santa Rosa,
Monterey, Natomas, Hayward, Hawthorne, Fremont, San Jose, Torrance, etc.).
Incompatible residential development simply should not be permitted near Chico Airport.
The City of Chico has accepted $9,970,148.00 in FAA Grant money since 1982, and with
receipt of each annual grant, the City has entered into binding Grant Assurance
Agreements. The Grant Assurance Agreement basically states that the City will adhere to
State guidelines for noise and safety requirements (the CLUP) or the City will have to
pay back those funds and forfeit future airport grant funds.
Furthermore, Page 8, Section 21 of the FAA Airport Assurance Clause states...
"Compatible Land Use. It (the City) will take appropriate action to the extent
reasonable, including adoption of zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or
in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with
normal airport operations, including landing and taking off of aircraft."
We are urging you to recognize not only the importance of the 2000 CLUP, but also the
commitment the City has made to the FAA. We are asking you to amend the General
Plan to incorporate the specifics of the 2000 CLUP in its entirety. It is time to make the
right decision, and secure the economic future of Butte County and the region.
Respectfully, �0'

JAN 3 0 2001
BUTTE COUNTY
AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
This letter. will confirm our telephone, conversation on January. 24, 2001 regarding the
Overflight Plan for Chico Municipal Airport. I do, not believe that the Cl zone for
Garner Lane is appropriate.
Butte County . zoned Garner Lane as one acre home sites a number of years ago.
Approximately 70% of the property in this area has been put to, this .use. The Cl zone
that the ALUC.. has proposed- will severely impact_ the future uses of my property,
significantly decreasing its value. This decrease in value will cause me extreme financial
hardship.. This property, is my, retirement fund.
is I have lived on Garner Lane for 53 years. When the property in front of me was
developed almost 35 years ago,..my husband and..I made the decision to hold on to our
property in anticipation of future growth. That growth has occurred. More and more
homes are built along.Garner Lane every year. .
The proposed Cl zone does not conform to the -Butte County General Plan for Gamer
Lane and needs to be reconsidered.. Property owners. must not be discriminated .against
for the benefit of business and private. interests at the airport.
I understand that the airport is an essential part of Chico's economy. I do not object to
the airport. I object to the ALUC and Butte County adopting an Overflight Plan that
infiinges, not-only.upon the -future use. of. my_property,.fiut. on the security of my future.

Subject:. City of Chico Analysis of Growth Areas
Dear Mr. Hays:
Thank you for allowing the County to comment on your endeavor to accommodate Chico's future
growth. Yesterday, the Planning Division received your letter requesting the County to comment .
on the referenced study by February 2, 2001. The County requests a time extension as indicated
below.
Attached to your letter was a map. depicting the proposed Expansion Areas. Since no further
information and analysis were available, staff needs more time to be able to provide appropriate
comments. For this purpose, it would be beneficial for the City and County staff to meet and discuss
factors and issues pertaining to the subject study prior to making these comments. Based on the -
breadth and depth of the issues involved, as well as the outcome of such a meeting(s), .County staff
would be able to identify an appropriate and realistic time extension to be requested.
I will call you this week to arrange for a meeting as soon as possible. Thank you again for this
opportunity to comment on the Expansion Study Areas and we look forward to meeting with you and
staff.
Sincerely

BUTTE COUNTY
AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
City Manager Tom Lando has asked me 3o request a joint meeting of the Airport Land. Use
Commission and the City Council on Tuesday, February 20, at 7:30pm. The purpose: of
the meeting is to provide an opportunity for the Council to ask questions and discuss
directly with the ALUC aspects of the 2000 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan that affect
the City. Your desire,. expressed publicly and often, to work closely with .affected
jurisdictions in this process has been noted and, is very much appreciated.. There are still
a few significant issues that remain unresolved, 'and while I recognize that a mutually
satisfactory resolution of each may not be possible, this meeting will at least afford ALUC
and the Council a chance to explore each other's views and enhance an overall
:understanding of the compelling issues that each face.
The Council's major remaining concerns about the Compatibility Plan are the following, as
expressed in the letter to you from Tom Lando dated November 15, 2000:
1. The C1 compatibility zoning of property north of Eaton Road.
2. The B2 compatibility zoning of a large portion of Bidwell Ranch.
3. The extension of 132 compatibility zoning to a ,boundary 500 feet south of Sycamore
Creek, rather than along the creek itself.'
The City is also still concerned about the adequacy of the negative declaration adopted for
the Compatibility Plan.
Discussion of each of these topics can be expected, as well as any others that may be
raised by the ALUC. I do hope that you and your staff will be able to attend and participate
in this meeting. Because•of the limited time remaining before February 20, please let me
know as soon as possible.

BTTE COUNT"
Dear Mr. Chairman and A.L.U.C. Board Membe AIRPORT_
I am here today to�protest the A.L.U.C. over -flight plan for the Chico Municipal .
Airport - specifically the plan for Garner Lane area. The Board of Supervisors zoned this
area as one acre, residential years ago and a majority (over 70%) of Garner Lane has
been developed as such. It would be discriminatory and unfair to the remaining property
owners to deny them the. same right
Garner is not in the flight plan of the commercial, borate bomber planes, "touch
and go" flights, or the Chico Air Show. It is not fair to penalize the few undeveloped
properties along Garner Lane for other airport business or private small planes.
To restrict Garner Lane to the west of the airport with a C-1 zoning when the
• A.L.U.C. assigned a large acreage just to the east of the airporta C zone just does not
make sense!
I am requesting that you amend the over -flight plan to return the Garner Lane
strip back to a£ zone. Thanks for your correcting this matter.
..Sincerely,
. lac

Dear Mr. Rosen:
This letter will confirm our telephone conversation on January. 24, 2001 regarding the
Overflight Plan for Chico Municipal Airport. I do_not believe that the. C1: zone for
Garner Lane is appropriate. .
Butte County. zoned , Garner Lane as one acre home sites a number of years ago.
Approximately 70% of theproperty in this area has been put to this use. The C1 zone
that the ALUC has proposed will severely impact. the future uses of 'my property;
significantly decreasing its value..'This decrease in value will cause me extreme financial
hardship. This property is my retirement fund.
• I have lived on Garner Lane for 53 years. - When: the property in front of me was
developed almost 35years ago,..my husband and..I made the decision to hold on to our
property in anticipation of future growth..: That . growth has ' occurred. More and more
homes are built along. Garner Lane every year.
The proposed C1 zone does not conform to the Butte County General Plan for Garner
Lane and needs to be reconsidered. Property owners must not be discriminated against
for the benefit of business and private interests at the airport.
I understand that the airport is an essential part of Chico's -economy. I do not object to
the airport. I object to the ALUC and Butte County adopting an, Overflight Plan that
infringes, not.only.upon the future use of my..property,..but. on the security of my future.

Sirs.... by
I am married to a man that has spent his whole life
Sleeping, Dreaming, Breathing, nothing but Airplanes and flying. Not
long after we were married he bought a 2 place T Craft airplane
which he flew for a long time. At 18, 1 was instructed to. keep my
hands on the controls, my foot on the brake, while he stood outside,
turning the propeller by hand. This was the only way to start the
engine. When he moved the shocks in front of the wheels I was
frightened that it might take off with me in it. We flew in this all over
the valley. We took several trips to Montana in it. We went pretty
fast if we had a tail wind but if we had a head wind I swear the cars
went faster. Later, when we flew in a 172 Cessna [thought I had
died and gone to heaven. We kept our plane at the Chico Airport for
years. Our son Bruce, followed in his fathers footsteps. His career
has always been flying. He was an Instructor in Chico and taught
many Chicoans to fly. He is now a corporate pilot for a large
company. Flying around Chico , George says he never used Garner
Lane in his flight pattern. He used: Hicks Lane as his down wind leg.
Larger planes go around Garner lane. The only planes we see
overhead is Crop dusters.
We have lived on Garner Lane nearly 50 years, which we farm with my brother,
Lee Fox. It is planted in walnuts and almonds. We hired a manager to take
care of the orchards. We pay all the water bills. We are afraid the P G &E bills
will make it impossible to keep farming. We have together almost 50 acres.
Not many years ago we were assessed 146.00 per acre. This was
added to our County taxes. This was a plan that stated that our
property was zoned 1 house per acre. We feel it should stay this
way.
Garner Lane is now almost solid houses. In time we want to be able
• to sub -divide our land into 1 house per acre lots. It is zoned this way
now and we want to be sure that it stays this way.
