Cangiano 473 Cimarron Dr. Chico, CA 95973 Re: Continuation of a business at 1216 Sheridan Ave., Chico, APN 003-480-060 Dear Ms. Cangiano, The above referenced parcel is zoned R-3 (High Density Residential). As such, most commercial uses are not allowed, and those that are allowed require approval of a Use Permit. The Children's Home Society of California office use on the property is a legal, • pre-existing, non -conforming use. According to Butte County Code, any change or expansion of a non -conforming use requires approval of a Use Permit. I initially believed that your proposed use may be'a continuation of the existing use which would not require a Use Permit. After 'discussing this matter with my supervisor, it was determined that a Use Permitwould be required for your proposed use. In the R-3 zone, medical and professional offices are allowed, but require a Use Permit. The County takes the position that non -conforming uses should be phased out whenever possible and replaced with an allowed uses. This is the situation with your proposed use. The processing fee for a Use Permit is currently $1,018. The Use Permit application goes before the Planning Commission at a public hearing. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a Use Permit for your proposed use would be approved by the Planning Commission. Enclosed please find an application for a Use Permit. It takes approximately three months for a Use Permit project to be heard by the Planning Commission, although a shorter time may be possible. You may have a good chance of getting the Use Permit approved, through. There may be a historical use of the property as commercial or professional use. If the building was constructed as an office structure, or has been structurally altered to accommodate an office use, this may point out to the Planning Commission that a professional office use should be allowed. 0 • Should you have any further questions, please contact me between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

Any use other then residential use in a R-3 zone is not allowed without a Use Permit. Because your office use was established prior to the current zoning ordinance, it is considered a legal, non -conforming use. Any expansion of that use would require a Use Permit. Operating the Little Papoose Costume Shop out of your office at 1216 Sheridan Ave. would be considered an expansion, and as such a Use Permit would be required. The current cost of applying for a Use Permit is $1,288.00, and takes approximately two months to process. Of the $1,288.00, $1,000.00 is a deposit that is used up on a time and material basis.. The Butte County Board of Supervisors is the only body that can waive application fees, and I suggest you contact Mary Anne Houx (891-2800), who is the Supervisor for your area, for further information regarding the waiving of application fees. One other option that you may what to explore is to find a retail store that will share or lease some of their space to you. Should you have anyfurther questions, please contact this office between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Sincerely, Stephen R. Betts Assistant Planner • CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF CALIFORNIA October 16, 1995 Barry Hogan Butte County Planning Division 7 County Center Dr. Oroville, CA 95965 Dear Mr. Hogan: 1216 Sheridan Chico, CA 95926 (916)242-2463 u Little Papoose Costume Shop is a non-profit fundraising auxiliary of Children's Home Society of California. The shop.has been housed in the downtown area since it first opened in 1967. It is completely run and operated by a CHS auxiliary comprised of a small group of volunteers, some who have been volunteering since the shop first opened. Presently the shop is open three afternoons a week, ten months a year and five days a week during the month of October. Because costume rental is seasonal, the volunteers have found that the only month they is make a profit is October. They remain open the other ten months, just making enough to cover their rent and utilities. Finding enough volunteers to keep the shop open during the slow months has become very difficult. The Costume Shop volunteers have talked about closing but feel a great commitment, not only to fundraising for Children's Home Society but to the service they provide for the community. Many schools and community groups rent costumes for plays and events from the Costume Shop because they offer a large selection of costumes at reasonable prices. Our CHS office is at 1216 Sheridan Avenue, where it has been located since 1962. Due to considerable downsizing of our staff in recent years, we find ourselves with extra room in our building. I would like to see the auxiliary move from its present location into a portion of our CHS office building, occupying approximately 480 square feet. They would be open only during the Halloween season, approximately 35 days. The rest of the year they would be closed and rent costumes by appointment only, or perhaps be open one afternoon a week. It would not be considered a retail shop; but a fundraiser for our agency. I don't feel that having them at the Sheridan Avenue location would impact the area in any way, it would just be an ancillary part of our current operation. • Planning Department OCT 17 1995 Orovilie, ,,,;,:,;;rnla • Kirk Monfort, Chair September 11, 1995 Page two Please consider my request to recognize this limited additional use as consistent, with the non-profit agency office use and .grant us permission to move this auxiliary into our building.

The existing farming practices associated with kiwis are generally compatible with residential uses, especially when buffered by a roadway.

The site is designated Medium Density Residential and adjoins Low Density Residential to the west and Agricultural Residential to the south. The site is also within the Gridley Urban Reserve which require the extension of City services for development. Because the policies of the Butte County Agricultural.

The existing farming practices associated with kiwis may be less offensive to residential uses but crops may change and other issues such as noise, dust, as trespass are also concerns. The Butte County Agricultural Element requires a buffer between urban and agricultural uses. Policy 2.1 and 2.3 support this position. Policy 2.1 "Agriculture shall not be made inviable by the economic impacts of urban development." Policy 2.3 "Require development to provide land use transitions, setbacks, and buffers between urban development and agricultural interface to reduce interference and conflict." Typically, the recommended buffer is 300' which is to be located on the development parcel. In this instance, the buffer distance might be reduced because a road separates the properties. The Butte County Agricultural Commissioner's office should be contacted for an appropriate buffer recommendation.

Block Grant funds have been awarded to _acquire the site, and to underground a very large, deep, open drainage ditch on the north boundary of the site. No subdivision map has been submitted yet; however environmental review of the project must be conducted prior to expenditure of the grant funds for acquisition of the site. Approvals required for the project are as follows: 1. Annexation of the site to the City of Gridley. The site is within the City's Sphere of Influence. 2. General Plan Amendment to modify, the City's current General Plan Land Use Designation from Suburban -Residential (3 units/acre maximum density) to Low Density Residential (4 units/acre maximum density) or Medium Density Residential (8 units/acre maximum density) if more than 64 units are proposed. NOTE: the current Butte County General Plan Land Use Designation for the site is Medium Density Residential (8 units/acre maximum density).. 3. Prezone Amendment to modify the City's current prezoning from Agricultural -Residential ("AR -5, 1 unit/5 acre maximum density) to Single Family Residential ("R-1," 4 units/acre, which allows up to 64 units on the site) or Planned Development ("PD," with a stipulated maximum of 70 units, which is 4.4 units/acre). NOTE: Butte County's current zoning designation is "SR -1," which is' Suburban Residential, 1 -acre minimum lot size. 4. Tentative Subdivision Map for the site,. with a design that provides for stormwater detention facilities and perhaps a new well -site. 5. Use Permit, if PD zoning is requested to allow up to 70 new homes, instead of the 64 that would be allowed with R-1 zoning. Off-site public improvements associated with the project will be as follows: • Drainage: the large, open drainage ditch on the north border of the site will have to be undergrounded with 84 -inch pipe and a culvert for a road crossing at Georgia Street. The smaller open ditch on the west border of the site must also be undergrounded. • C1WPDATMGRANPSWCHINS.DES September 5, 1997 1 City of Gridley: Richins Project r- - September 4, 1997 , . f • Page 2 NOTE: On site stormwater detention facilities will be constructed to maintain the present stormwater discharge rate from the site during a 100 -year design storm, thus eliminating the need for additional off-site drainage improvements. . Sanitary Sewer: about 1200 feet of new gravity sanitary line must be constructed on Little Avenue, from a lift station located at the intersection of Oregon Street and Little Avenue westward to the approximate middle of the Richins site. - . . Water: a new municipal well will be needed if the City of Gridley is to serve new development west of the railroad tracks. The new well should have the capacity to serve about 400 homes; it could be located on the Richins site or virtually anywhere west of the railroad tracks. Construction of a new well could precede the Richins project, or be constructed concurrently with it. Streets: the site has about 1150 feet of.frontage on.Little Avenue and-about:650 feet, of i frontage' on Randolph_Ayenue. Additional. right-of-way will be obtained along the 'frontage portion of the project site, and the frontage portions .will;be,reconstructed to provide a full twenty -foot paved half -width adjacent to the site, and a I'Moot paved travel .lane and 4 -foot shoulder on the opposite. half. Standard street improvements will be • constructed;in the presently unimproved 110 -foot portion of Idaho and Georgia Streets located north of the site, after which Bayberry Street and Little Avenue will be connect at those two locations (note the location of the existing streets on the attached site map). LOCATION: The 16 -acre project site is in Butte'County, about one-half mile west of State Highway 99 in the southwest Gridley area. It lies north of Little, Avenue and extends from Randolph Avenue to Idaho Street. It is presently under the jurisdiction of Butte County, but it is within Gridley's Sphere of Influence and it is adjacent to the southwest edge of Gridley City Limits (see attached illustration). ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: Existing use of project site: The 16 -acre project site has been in agricultural.use for many. decades., Existing,structures include three residences, at least one barn, and several smaller agricultural -related buildings. All of the existing structures appear to.be.in substantial disrepair r CAWPDATA\GRANTS\RICHINS.DES - September 5, 1997 0 • • City of Gridley: Richins Project September 4, 1997 Page 3 • • Existing developed use of surrounding properties: North: Subdivided about 1977, with homes to a density of about 4 units/acre (in City) East: Subdivided about 1988, with homes to a density of about.4 units/acre (in City) South: east of Dewsnup Avenue, about 7 homes; five' of them on urban -size lots (in °County) west of Dewsnup Avenue, a 16 -acre orchard (in County) West: A 7.5 -acre orchard with one home (in County) Agricultural uses: Project site: Prune orchard, with walnuts along the boundaries of the site.

A house islocated on the central strip. An official at the local agricultural service indicates that the peaches have been actively harvested for years, although restrictions have applied to aerial application of spray on the site for many years because of the existing residential uses around it. Evidently there is relatively little need for aerial spraying in peach orchards. A relatively small part of this site is adjacent to the Richins site (about 300 out of 1300 feet roadway frontage of this orchard). West of Ra7dolph: kiwis are'planted on'this'7:5 acre'site, which also includes one home. An official at the local agricultural service indicates that kiwis require little aerial spraying or disking, and therefore these types of orchards and residential uses are relatively compatible with one another. Soils and agricultural designations' Designations on the 1926 U.S. Department of Agricultural Soil Survey Map and on the 1992 Butte County Interim Farmland Map, prepared by the California Department of Conservation, are as follows: Project ,site:;" Gridley clay loam; -irrigated farmland - South of Little and west of Dewsnup: Honcut'Loah; irrigated farmland CAWPDATAMAN7'SWCHINS.DES September 5, 1997 City of Gridley- Richins Project • September 4, 1997 - Page 4 - West of Randolph:' Gridley clay loam; irrigated farmland Other areas: Gridley clay loam where mapped; designated urban or "X," which means land which does not meet the criteria of any other category. Flora and Fauna: The existing use of immediately adjacent properties is described under the headings titled '.'existing developed use of surrounding properties" and "agricultural use," above. A subdivision is located on the north edge of the larger open drainage ditch on the north boundary of the project site, and the upstream portion of the ditch (east of the project site) lies between two subdivisions and has already been undergrounded. Urban -sized lots already line the south side of Little Avenue, and most of the remaining orchards have at least one house on them. The flora and fauna in the area is typical of•the half -mile or more deep suburban residential / ranchette area that rings most of the City of Gridley. The -'open drainage ditches on the north and west boundaries of the site will be undergrounded when the, site is develop ed -to -residential uses-, These ditches have been modified.periodically over the years.. In _1996; the upstream portion of this ditch (east of the site) was finally' undergrounded. In 198.7, the ditch on the north boundary of the Richins site was widened and regraded -when the new subdivision was constructed east of the site. • Drainage: The site is tributary to Reclamation District No. 833's Lateral E -1-A. - Stormwater discharged from the site must travel through 12 or more miles of open, vegetated ditches constructed and maintained by RD 833 before combining with flows from the Cherokee Canal (these waters eventually enter Butte Creek about 5 miles south of the confluence of RD 833's ditches and the Cherokee Canal). The trustees of RD 833 have advised the City that their ditches have no capacity for increased flows, and that new development must not generate a peak stormwater discharge -rate higher -than the historic rate during a one -hundred year design storm - event. The City anticipates that LAFCo will condition annexation of the site upon meeting this criteria, which will undoobtedly be accomplished by construction of an on-site stormwater detention facility or facilities. The open drainage ditches on the north and west boundaries of the site will be undergrounded when the site is developed to residential uses. These ditches have been modified periodically over the years. In 1996, the upstream portion of this ditch (east of the site) was finally undergrounded. In 1987, the ditch on the north boundary of the Richins site was widened and regraded when the new subdivision was constructed east of the site. C:\W P DATA\G RANTS\R IC H M S.

The frontage portion of the roads will be improved as described under the heading "project description: offsite improvements," above. Because of Gridley's lot frontage requirements, no more than 10 lots will have direct access to Little Avenue, and no more than 5 lots will have direct access to Randolph Avenue. For both of these substandard roads, dedications and improvement requirements will assure that it is possible to back out of the new lots without entering the travel lanes. It is also possible to require that circular driveways be" constructed on homes with access to these streets, as an additional safety measure. A 24-hour traffic count was taken on Little Avenue on Wednesday, December 4, 1996. The total count west of the Vermont Street intersection was 1810 vehicles. The total count east of the French Avenue intersection was 1410 vehicles.

The subject property is zoned M-1. Applicable uses are presented in Section 24-175 of the Butte County Code. The code section is attached to this letter. Pertinent sections in the attached code section have been emphasized using bold text. The terms minor and major waste tire facility reflects the definition utilized by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. The M-1 zone permits a minor waste tire facility without a Use Permit unless a determination has been made by the Director of Development Services pursuant to section C 4. Minor waste tire facilities were included as a permitted use in this, zone because regulations required by the State addressed minimum public safety concerns. Operating under an exemption from the permitting requirements of the State, the County can not be assured that safety concerns can be met or enforced. Based upon the operating characteristics of your use and the existing surrounding residential uses, it is the determination of this Department that a Use Permit is required to operate at this location. This determination is based on the potential of the proposed use to negatively impact adjoining residents. If you disagree with this finding, you may appeal the decision to the Board of Supervisors. Pursuant to the requirements of the Enterprise Zone agreement, the Use Permit • application must be made to the City of Oroville. The City's Use Permit fee is the applicable application fee. If you have any questions regarding the appeal or application process, Please contact • either myself or Craig Sanders at 538-7601. Sincerely, P"�—z Thomas A.

One single family dwelling or mobile home per parcel is allowed. Any other dwelling units would require that a Minor Use Permit be obtained from the County. The Minor Use Permit must be approved by the Butte County Planning Commission at a public hearing. _ There. -are several standards and conditions of a Minor Use Permit for a permanent second dwelling unit. Section 24-280 of the Butte County Code lists these standards and conditions. One of the conditions requires that the owner of the parcel live in one of the two dwelling units. Another condition limits the size of the second dwelling unit to no more than 1,200 sq. ft. The current application fee for a Minor Use Permit is $350.00. The application process takes approximately three months. Please be advised that it is the Planning Commission that approves a Minor Use Permit, and they could deny it if they determine that the second dwelling unit is not an appropriate use on your parcel. Also be advised that the Planning Commission is considering changing the second dwelling unit zoning ordinance and they could very well prohibit second dwelling units in certain zoning districts.

Mr. McCollum requested four, 5 -acre parcels but the Planning Department recommended denial of the map because it did not comply with two provisions of the General Plan. The proposed parcel map was denied by the Butte County • -Advisory Agency on April 13, 1992. Mr. McCollum then appealed that decision to the Board of Supervisors, which denied his appeal on June 23, 1992. Based on Mr. McCollum's project, I believe that the Planning Department would recommend denial of a parcel map to divide your 20 -acre. The report dated December 11, 1991 (enclosed) states that the area should be rezoned to a 20 -acre parcel size, though there are no plans to do so at this time. However, the approving agency may not agree with that recommendation and could approve the map..

Orchards for an AgriculturalSegregation Dear Tom, Due to the move into our new offices the above referenced application was misplaced. It wasn't until after our phone conservation today that I realized that I had not returned the application to you and that it had been misplaced during the move. It is my mistake for misplacing it and then forgetting about it, and I apologize for my error. When the Senior Planner reviewed the application when it first came in, he said that.the size of the parcel did not meet the zoning requirements, which is for a 40 -acre minimum parcel size. However, he was in error because the parcel size is 60 acres. The . application did state that the parcel size was 10 acres, but that referred to the size of the proposed agricultural segregation parcel only. The Zoning Ordinance, however, states that an agricultural segregation parcel can not be more than five (5) acres, or the minimum lot area allowed by the County Environmental Health. Division, whichever is greater (see enclosed copy of the Agricultural Segregation Zoning, Ordinance). This application is for a ten (10) acre agricultural segregation parcel. We would not be able to recommend approval to the Planning Commission because of this, especially considering that • almost half of the proposed parcel is currently undeveloped. The existing processing plant is very.close to 5 acres and we would most likely recommend approval for just the existing plant. Again, I apologize for misplacing the application. If the applicants so desire, I would be • more than happy to personally apologize to them for my mistake. Please let me know what the intentions of the applicants are. We still have not deposited the check submitted with I the application. Sincerely, Stephen R.

I discussed the matter with the Senior Planner (Craig Sanders) who stated that one dwelling unit per parcel is normally acceptable on land zoned TPZ. However, we would require some sort of documentation showing that the location of the dwelling unit would not significantly interfere with the growing or harvesting of timber. Basically, the house should be located in an area that does not have timber potential, such as an area that has been already extensively logged or an open area. A second dwelling unit is also possible, but normally it is to be lived in by someone who is working on the property or managing the property, and should be located in an area that would not impact timber growing or harvesting'. We would require documentation showing this. I hope this answers your question. - If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me at 916-538-7601, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to. 4:00 p.m. " Very truly yours, Stephen R.

Your next request was for the average size of parcel subdivision in Butte County. I took this to mean you wanted the average size of parcels in the county. Unfortunately, this information is not available and any information we had would be very misleading because there are many large parcels and many small parcels. There really is no "average" parcel size. If you wanted the average size of the various subdivisions that have been approved in the county, again, this information is not available. The next two questions request information on the average residence size and the average family size per parcel. Unfortunately, this data per parcel is not available. However, this information is available per housing unit.. These are the figures we use when we estimate how many people will live on a given parcel (with one dwelling unit per parcel). The figures are from the 1990 Census, which is the best data we have available to us. Residence size (per housing unit). Median, occupied housing units,- 4.4 Median, owner -occupied housing units - 5:3 Median, renter -occupied housing units - 3.8 Family size (per housing unit) Median, occupied housing units - 2.18 • Median, owner -occupied housing units -2.35 Median, renter -occupied housing units- 2.04 If I can help you in any other way please let me know.

This letter is to inform you that, pursuant to Butte County Code section 24-120 (R-1 zoning district -regulations), the establishment of said use requires a conditional use permit. Enclosed is a copy of section 24-120 for your reference. The relevant sections are highlighted. The House of Mercy appears to in some ways fit category 2, in that it is of a religious nature. It also appears to fit into category 4 as a group home serving 7 or more individuals, even though a license is not required by the State. The determination that House of Mercy requires a Use Permit is based upon the intent of the zone and similar uses requiring a Use Permit. This Department will initiate a code enforcement action against you and/or the owner of the property unless an application for a Use Permit is submitted within 14 days from the receipt of this letter. The application must be accompanied with the required application fee of $988.00. A Use Permit application form and instructions are included with this letter. Please note, the application requires a signature from the property owner or their agent.

DATE: November 18, 1996 The Planning Commission reviewed and approved a Use Permit at its November 14, 1996 meeting allowing a child care center to be located at 2626 West Sacramento Avenue. During the discussion of this project the Commission heard public testimony, concerning traffic safety along West Sacramento Avenue, specifically the excessive speeds and lack of stop signs at certain intersections. The Commission recognizes that this road is traveled extensively by students going to and coming from the Sacramento River often after consuming alcoholic. beverages. This scenario appears to present a significant traffic safety concern especially when high speeds are involved. Citizens in the area claimed that they have often solicited the County to install stop signs at the intersection of West Sacramento Avenue and Glenwood Avenue to no avail. The Commission accepted this testimony and acknowledged the problem to be of importance to the safety of persons living along and using this road. The Commission formally requested the Planning Division to notify you of their concern and further requested that the Public Works Department study the issue and • recommend to the Board of Supervisors that a stop sign be considered at the identified intersection and at any other intersection your Department feels is warranted. .

Rio Linda, CA 95673 Re: Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 072-330-079, 90 Dickerson Lane Dear LeAnn, The above referenced parcel, and several adjacent parcels (APN 072-330-078 and APN 072- 330-080) were created by deed. in 1992, which was recorded with the Butte County • Recorder's Office under Serial Number 92-16027/28. APNs 072-330-079 & 072-330-080, which are both 39.59 acres in size, were attempted to be sold, but the lending bank required that either a Certificate of Compliance or a Subdivision Map be accomplished on these two parcels in order to ensure that the parcels were created legally and met all the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Butte County General Plan. The owner then submitted a Waiver Map application to the County. A Waiver Map is similar to a parcel map, however a final map is not recorded. Instead, a deed is recorded. The Waiver Map application was determined to be complete and the proper fees were paid. The project was determined by the County to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under. a General Rule exemption because there would be no impact to the environment because the parcels were already created. The Waiver Map was approved by Butte County at a noticed public hearing which was held on October 7, 1993. The Waiver Map deed was recorded with the Butte County Recorder's Office on February 3, 1.994 under Serial Number 94-005512. APN 072-330-079 is zoned M -R (Mountain or Recreation Subdivision - Residential), and is designated by the Land Use Element of the Butte County General Plan as Agricultural Residential (AR). The M -R zone requires a minimum parcel size of five (5) acres. A five acre parcel size conforms to the General Plan. However, this parcel is also located in an area that the California Department of Fish and Game has identified as Deer Herd Critical Winter Habitat. Fish- & Game has recommended that parcels located in critical winter habitat have • a minimum parcel size of 40 acres. This parcel is also outside of a Designated Development Zone (DDZ), where smaller parcel sizes are allowed. Please refer to the enclosed map which shows the parcel, -the zoning and General,Plan designation, and the Designated Development Zones in the area. - • Due to the Fish & Game 40 acre minimum parcel size recommendation, a parcel map to subdivide APN 072-330-079 would most likely be denied by the County. However, if. the owner and/or applicant and the Fish & Game can come to some agreement regarding the size- of the parcels, the County would most likely go along with any new fish &• Game recommendations. APN 072-330-079 could most likely be split into one parcel of 20 acres and one parcel of 19.59 acres, provided that Fish & Game approved of parcels that size. hope this letter has answered all of your questions.

Carole, - I looked into the possibility of you splitting a five -acre portion off of your parcel.. Your parcel., as we already discussed, is zoned Unclassified, which requires a minimum parcel size of 20 - acres. The Land Use Element Map of the Butte County General Plan designates your parcel • as Agricultural -Residential, and as Commercial. See the enclosed map which shows the zoning, the General Plan designation, and the deer herd area. It is a very confusing map, however, but I hope that it can help you seethe zoning and general plan designations, and the deer herd winter habitat area. In order for you to split a five -acre portion off of your parcel, it would have to be rezoned to zone that allows a minimum parcel size of five acres. Unfortunately, your parcel is located in an area that has been designated by the California Department of Fish and Game as Deer Herd Winter Habitat. The Department of Fish and Game recommends a minimum parcel size of 20 acres for parcels located in this habitat. However, your parcel is located next to an Identified Transportation Corridor (ITC), which is LaPorte Road. Parcels located along an ITC are usually permitted to have a parcel size less than 20. acres. If you were to submit, an application for a rezone, we will in turn request comments from the Department of Fish and Game concerning the rezone. The Department of Fish and Game will.determine if a parcel size of less than 20 acres would be allowed. The northern portion of your parcel is designated by the Land Use Element of the Butte County General Plan as Commercial. Because of this designation, a rezone of that section, or a portion of that section, to Commercial could be possible, but again it will be up to the Department of Fish and Game to determine if a parcel less than 20 acres would be allowed. 0 • 41 m.. 7: Ea d a ount PLANNING DIVISION DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 7 COUNTY CENTER DRIVE - OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95965-3397 TELEPHONE: 1916) 538-7601 FAX: 1916) 538-7785 September 25, 1996 Thomas Jenkins 1625 Laburnum Ave. Chico, CA 95926 Re: Second dwelling unit Dear Mr Jenkins, The second dwelling unit located 1625 Laburnum Ave., Chico, APN 003-402-007, is a pre- existing, legal, non -conforming use.

Environmental Health Division indicated you would be able to locate an adequate leach field site. To date, however, no evidence has been` submitted to the Department of Development Services verifying leach field adequacy. • In the absence of evidence verifying your ability to comply with sewage disposal requirements, we are required by law to require an environmental impact report (EIR) be prepared for your proposal. You will be responsible for the entire cost of EIR preparation. Once payment is received, the county will arrange for the EIR to be written. - We estimate that a focussed EIR, investigating only those issues necessary, would cost between $6,000 and $8,000. Precise cost will not be known until after we receive responses to the EIR request for proposals. If you have any questions, please call me.

Over the past few days, we have been going through a process of establishing a work breakdown structure. LJ Attachment A Bill Farrel drafted an initial concept for me to work from. Bill hopes to have the general plan ready for review by September 26. Attachment B Bill had Brian Larsen draft .a schedule, and asked me to fill in the names and dates. I don't feel we are far enough into the process to accurately estimate the time line. Attachment C I used Bill's initial concepts to create a simple work breakdown. I want each person to be responsible for very specific tasks, rather than working as a collective. I've never seen good collective work. I didn't set any dates for completion, because I think we will find many shortcomings that will require a great deal of time to repair. Attachment D I believe it would be easier to write the general plan if we spread the material over 16 short chapters rather than lumping everything into 10 long chapters. The attached tables of contents shove Barry Hogan's proposed chapters and my proposed chapters. My biggest change is to break the land use element into three parts. I found it just about impossible to deal with rural and urban issues in a single element. However, I'm not against combining if it can be done without forcing incompatible material into a single element just to reduce the number of chapters. In reviewing the draft general plan, I found my writing style and planning philosophy to be at odds with the document. Consequently, to avoid getting involved in a style war, I have decided to distance myself from the writing and editing. That is why I suggested to Bill that my participation be limited to doing research to fill in the gaps. . Sincerely, Connor Murphy • A • • OUTLINE OF WORK TASKS TO COMPLETE GENERAL PLAN DRAFT 8/28/96 1. Agree on table of contents. Done - 8/28/96 2.

Presently, we have an offer in on this property which is subJect to the Counties approval of our proposed use of the parcel. My wife, Judy and -I have been partners and owner/managers -of Green Tree Nursery for over thirty years. Starting out with twenty thousand walnut seedling in 1966, we now grow approximately. one million deciduous fruit and nut trees annually. Our growing grounds are located near the city of La Grange, in Stanislaus County. Over the past five .years we have increased our sales staff and divided the state into three divisions; Northern, Central, and Southern California. Our Northern Division Field Representative is my daughter Shana Otten. Shana's territory encompasses all counties including and north of Marin, Solano, Sacramento, and E1 Dorado and reaches to the Oregon Border. It is the expansion in sales volume in the Northern territory that has prompted us to make an offer on the aforementioned property. I would like to address four of our proposed uses for this property: • First of all we would like to build a small satellite sales office which would allow for growth of up to a staff of approximately five employees. The building would, be approximately 800 square feet. Secondly, we wish to develop a small healing in -grounds with an approximate size of one half acre. This would allow us to heal in trees coming from our Stanislaus County location, but that are sold in the Northern Territory closer to the customers. This will allow for easier customer pick up and delivery. We also intend to build a 8,000 to 10,000 square foot cold storage facility. During Shana's tenure in this territory she has discovered that there is. a genuine need for.a cold storage facility in the Butte County area that .focuses on nurserystock storage-. Although there are some cold storage facilities in the area that store trees, they do not allow for the trees to be stored in bins. In my thirty years as a nurserymen, I have found bin storage to be the optimum way to store trees to help prevent the spread of disease . Finally, on the balance of the 46 acres, I would like to develop a Research Orchard, used to study and develop new varieties of deciduous fruit and nut trees. Enclosed is a plot map which shows the proposed - location of the office, cold storage facility, healing in grounds and research orchard. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated as we can not complete this purchase until county approval for the use of this property is received. Punning Division J U l Z 4 1996 Orovuie, Caiifomia --III ling uivision J l 4 1996 f-4whie, Caiifomia MEMORANDUM _ TO: Bill Farrel, Director of Development Services • FROM: Stephen Hackney, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Petition Nominating the Cohasset Ridge Region as a Sensitive Watershed DATE: August 1, 1996 SUMMARY: The scheduled meeting of the Nomination Review Committee for the Board Of Forestry was canceled for Wednesday, 7:00 pm, at the City of Chico Council Chambers. . This was announced at the time of the expected meeting. Apparently the State Attorney General's Office had determined insufficient time had been given to the public in the Notice. Nevertheless, a group of approximately 20 people attended and an informal meeting/discussion took place. DISCUSSION: I attended this meeting with the purpose of delivering the letter from Supervisor Houx. I was introduced at the meeting by a Mr. Lorenzo Thatcher, of the Cohasset Ridge petitioners group. I gave a brief synopsis of the letter — reading the opening and closing paragraphs. I gave the copy of the letter to Jim Steele of the Department of Fish & Game. He is a member of the Nominating Review Committee for the Board Of Forestry. Although the official meeting was canceled, there were three or four members of the Nominating Review Committee present, as well as members of the Cohasset Ridge petitioners' group. Jeanne Crist, from the Paradise "Protect Our Watershed" group, was present. She presented a brief background of the movement for obtaining Sensitive Watershed status. The Paradise group is watching to see how the Cohasset group. manage with the State. Jim Steele spoke for awhile, covering the history and intent of the Sensitive Watershed designation. The petitioners were pleased that the County, through Supervisor Houx's letter, has expressed its support of their efforts to obtain the Sensitive Watershed designation for their area. I presume that another meeting will • be properly Noticed and scheduled in the near future. I do not expect that it will be necessary for us to attend any future meeting. With the letter presented to Jim Steele, the State Board Of Forestry will be informed of the County's support for this designation. cc: Mary Anne Houx j:\memos\forestry.mem • 0 Butte County 0 Department ojDevelopment Services 0 Planning Division 0 • July 30, 1996 Lisa Purvis -Wilson, Planning Manager City of Oroville 1735 Montgomery Street Oroville, California 95965-4897 E PLANNING DIVISION DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 7 COUNTY CENTER DRIVE - OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA 95965-3397 TELEPHONE: (916) 538-7601 FAX: IS 16) 538-7785 Re: Mining and Reclamation Plan Application for Ronald Harmon Dear Lisa: Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the above project. This is a follow-up to the earlier response letter, of July 23, 1996. After reviewing this application, many of the concerns outlined in the earlier letter are yet applicable. Specific questions on specific items include: Item 11: Soils - type, characteristics, Class I or II ? Item 12: No general geologic setting or detailed geologic description given. Item 13: No groundwater elevation, average annual rainfall, or other factors pertaining to environmental • impacts given. Item 19: What does the County AQCO say? Source? Method? Disposal? Item 20: It remains unclear what/when reclamation is to take place during the 1 year between the completion of Phase 1 and beginning of Phase 2. Item 29: Very unclear of what is meant in 2nd sentence starting with "... and further" to "...within one (1) year..." More generalize environmental concerns remain unanswered. Item 29 makes mention of."the natural water courses which the site is tributary to," so one is left with questions why they are not shown, what about DF&G permits; are there going to be measures employed in the course of mining and in reclaiming to protect these tributaries? and so forth. Questions relating to the transport of the material, to where, how many vehicles per day; what sizes/tonnages of trucks; impacts to City/County roads; mitigation measures to address any impacts to these roads; geometric design for road improvements to facilitate mining operations and protect public safety; financial responsibility for such improvements, and so forth. Information on Reclamation is very minimal. Questions still exist regarding financial assurances. The City's requirement for a Landscape Plan — that could be encompassed within a Reclamation Plan — sounds very positive. I hope these follow-up comments will be of some help to the City in processing Ronald Harmon's permit. If you have any questions or comments please don't call me.

What is proposed to be done constitutes a mining operation. As such, it does not require a grading permit. The amount of material and the elevation are moot factors. However, it is good that those questions •- triggered a review of the site and the establishing the type of project proposed. The applicant may now proceed in the proscribed manner to most quickly move forward and obtain the proper and required permits -- without the County code enforcement officers or the State compliance officers getting involved at some point in the future. The forms are fairly self-explanatory. The costs when submitting the applications: Use Permit: $988 ($700 is a deposit which time & materials in processing is billed against) Mining Permit: $1685 ($1500 is a deposit processing is billed against) Several names of engineering firms include: Vector Engineering, Northstar Engineering and Rolls - Anderson & Rolls. Vector specializes in mining matters, but I think the other two firms would be able to do a competent job also. If you have any questions regarding these forms, the process, or any other matter in which I could be of service, please do not hesitate to calle me at 538-7601.
