I would like to have this on the March Agenda. I have not seen the project but understand' it to be in the City of Chico. • If so it appears that we should only make a recommendation, and probably based on what we know about the new CLUP. • ' •� S � h �� e w // Lia. �/ . . • . ��,� Siam pa/, � �/ ar ,t 4405 AIRPORT ROAD.

Pete requested a meeting this morning to discuss his proposed subdivision located between Floral Ave., Ceonothus Ave. and Sycamore Creek. It will place approximately 189-hoines on 400 acres'.. Tom Hayes suggested he speak with me to discuss ALUC issues. I covered the Environs Plan issues, the Caltrans Handbook and the Draft Policy Plan. Essentially, it is infill development and is not likely to present a significant impact to the operation of CMA. It does fall in CLUZ II, which indicates 1 to 3 acre parcel sizes. The Handbook would allow 4-6 units with 15% open ,space. With the retention of approximately 200 acres of wetlands open space, ,noise 'attenuation design. possible real estate disclosure and avigation easements, .I think the project would ,work. As always, I presented an objective view of the project and Pete remarked that he was very pleased with the knowledgeable , discourse.
