Hogan, Planning Manager BY: Stephen Hackney, Associate Plan r DATE: January 10, 1996 REQUEST: Use Permit for Webb Homes (Yellowstone Park Subdivision), File # UP 96-05, APN 006-500-021: A request for a Use Permit to allow four office buildings on four parcels (one building ' on each 0.53 acre parcel) located on the southwest side of the Esplanade, approximately 2800 feet north of Shasta Avenue in H -C (Highway Commercial) zone with a General Plan designation of Commercial, in the Chico area. This project is located in Supervisorial District 2. RELATED ITEMS: Agenda Report for a Tentative -Parcel Map approved September 14, 1995 for four parcels FOR: Planning Commission Meeting January 25, 1995. SUMMARY: This application for a Use Permit is to allow professional office uses in the H -C (Highway Commercial) zoned site. This project, with a Use Permit, is consistent with a H -C zone, and is a primary use under the General Plan designation of Commercial. Staff recommends conditional approval of this application. PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS: This request is for a Use Permit to allow professional office uses in a H -C zone on four parcels (0.53 acres @). A Tentative Parcel Map creating, four parcels was recently approved for this site. The site is level, providing no habitat for wildlife (except perhaps field mice). No surface water or other hydrologic features exist on the site. Access to the site will be from Yellowstone Drive. The site will be serviced by California Water Service Company and sewer service will be provided by the City of Chico sewer treatment plant. The project site is currently undeveloped. The four parcels are surrounded on the north and south by H -C zoned undeveloped parcels, on the east by The Esplanade, and on the west by the Amber Grove residential subdivision. The principal surrounding land uses consist of highway commercial, commercial and residential. ■ Butte County Planning Commission Agenda Report ■ AGENDA ITEM PROJECT AND SURROUNDING ZONING, GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION, AND EXISTING LAND USE: Described below are the project and surrounding zoning, general plan land use designation and the existing land uses. Direction Zoning General Plan Existing- Land Use Project: H -C Commercial Undeveloped North: H -C Commercial Undeveloped South: H -C Commercial Undeveloped East: C-2 Commercial Commercial West: City of Chico City of Chico Residential ANALYSIS: This request, with a Use Permit, is consistent with the H -C zoning and Commercial General Plan designation which permits such commercial uses. The project has two areas of concern: parking and sewage disposal. Parkina. The tentative plan map (October 1995) for the Use Permit indicates 77 parking stalls. The zoning ordinance requires 67 spaces. The site plan indicates the stalls to be 18 feet in length, with backup distances of 24 feet. The zoning ordinance requires stalls to be 20 feet in length and backup distances to be 25 feet. The site plan also shows the sidewalks to be 4 feet in width and allows the autos to overlap the sidewalk 1 1/2 feet. Therefore, the sidewalks also need to be increased to provide a minimum of four feet free and clear. In discussions with the applicant, these dimensions were addressed and the applicant has indicated they would be reconfigured to meet County parking requirements. Sewage disposal. Initially, there was some question.as to whether or not the project was going to be on City of Chico community sewer or not. Discussions with the applicant and with the City Planning Director confirm the project will be on City sewer. The applicant has already signed agreements with the City for such services. Specific conditions of approval, which the City requires of the applicant, are incorporated in the attached Exhibit A. There was also some question as to the type of uses to go into the proposed buildings. The applicant has indicated that no food type of business would be allowed. Professional type uses, consistent with those proposed (the applicant's own contracting business and an engineering firm's business), would be the type of businesses to go into the two remaining buildings. The H -C zone, with a Use Permit, allows the following uses: duplex, multi -family dwellings, bed and breakfast inns, and multiple single family residences; ■ Butte County Planning Commission Agenda Report ■ No AGENDA ITEM hotels and tels, clubs, logge halls, hospitals, and clinics; retail stoes and shops of light commercial character as listed in the C-1 zoning district; new automobile sales, theaters, small animal hospitals, pet shops, mortuaries, used car sales, service statiions, adult entertainment businesses, drive-in restaurants and other uses of similar character; recreational vehicle. and mobile home parks. Again, the applicant indicated that only professional businesses of a similar nature consistent with the two businesses scheduled to go into the first two buildings, will be brought into the last two buildings. Staff recommends the project be conditioned to assure this be done. Access to the site will be from Yellowstone Drive. Although the property borders the Esplanade on the east, no direct access will be permitted onto the Esplanade.

BACKGROUND A. Webb Homes for Thomas & Barbara Enloe/Project Name: Yellowstone Park Tentative Subdivision Map B. Project No. 95-179 and AP No. 006-500-011 C. Webb Homes, 390-C Connors Court, Chico, California: D. Project Description and Location: The project is a Tentative Subdivision Map that proposes to divide a 2.12 acre parcel into four (4) parcels, each parcel 0.53 acres in size. The project is located in a H -C (Highway Commercial) zone with a General Plan designation of Commercial. The project will result in the creation of four commercially zoned parcels. The project is located on the southwest side of the Esplande approximately 2800 feet north of Shasta Avenue, Chico. Additional project description and area description can be found in the data sheet at the end of this document. II. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Earth. Will the proposal result in: a. Unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not require any excavation or use of explosives. Any fill placed on site for road or commercial construction will have to meet the requirements of Chapte 70 of the Uniform Building Code and will be compacted to accepted engineering standards and will not represent a hazard. Therefore, the project will not create any unstable earth conditions or result in changes to geologic substructures. Mitigation: None required. b. Disruptions, displacements, compaction or overcovering of the soil? Yes No Maybe X Response: This proposal will result in some soil disruption, displacement, compaction and overcovering of the site as a result of development of new roads, structures, driveways, leachfields, and the installation of commercial landscaping. The amount of soil affected will be limited to that associated with the construction of commercial structures on 2.12 acres. All grading associated with commercial construction will also be subject to the requirements of Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code. Based on this information the project will not result in significant soil impacts. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 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. Mitigation: None required. 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 and therefore none will be affected by the project. 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, no stream courses traverse the property, rainfall received in the area is low, and the erosion potential of the soils on site area low. 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: There are no rivers, streams, lakes or beach sands on the project site nor in the immediate vicinity and therefore the project will not affect any of these features. Mitigation: None required. g. Loss of prime agriculturally productive soils outside designated urban areas? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project site does contain prime agriculture soils. However, the land is not under agriculture production and it is also located within a designated urban area. Therefore, this proposal will not result in a significant loss to the regions agricultural productivity. 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 ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 2 Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 Response: The Butte County Seismic Safety Element does not indicate any faults in the area and the risk of ground rupture in the event 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. Construction of buildings to Uniform Building Code standards will provide adequate protection to occupants in case of seismic activity. Mobile homes are required to be anchored to the ground throughout California in accordance with Section 18613 of the Health and Safety Code Mitigation: None required. 2. Air. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality?. Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposed project will result in a cumulative impact on air quality created by increased traffic generated by the project. The California Air Resources Control Board has identified Butte County as a Non -attainment Area in meeting the standards of the California Air Quality Act. The Butte County Air Pollution Control Plan does not address air quality impacts of small developments for possible mitigation measures. Mitigation: None required. b. The creation of objectionable odors? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not create objectionable odors, smoke or fumes. Mitigation: None required. c. Alteration of air movement, moisture, temperature, or any change in climate, whether locally or regionally? Yes No X Maybe Response: 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 of 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. Water. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements, in fresh waters? Yes No X Maybe Response: There area 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. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 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 Maybe X Response: This project will result in the creation of new impervious surfaces such as roads, structures, and driveways. An increase in surface water runoff can be expected due to the reduced absorption rate created from the impervious surfaces. An urban drainage system exists adjacent to the project site capable of accommodating stormwater runoff. Project design will direct runoff into this system. SUDAD conveys stormwater to Mud Creek, located north and west of Chico. Mitigation: None required. c. Need for off-site surface drainage improvements, including vegetation removal, channelization or culvert installation? Yes No X Maybe Response: As noted in Item 3(b), the existing storm drain adjacent to the project site will be used to carry surface water runoff. Mitigation: None required. d. Alternations 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. 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 Maybe 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. 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. ■ Butte County Development Services Department- ■ Planning Division ■ 4 Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 h. Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not directly affect any aquifer. 0 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. Mitigation: None required. j. Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as Hooding? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project site is not within a designated flood 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 valley grassland habitat and the proposed project should not significantly affect the diversity of the area plant life. Mitigation: None required. b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of plants? Yes No X Maybe Response: The properly does not contain habitat that would support any unique, rare or endangered plant species and therefore the project could not affect any such species. Mitigation: None required. 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 ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ 5 Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 Response: Approval of this request may result in the introduction of exotic plant species into the area in the course of landscaping the site. This will not impact any native vegetation in that the weeds and grasses presently growing on site are not native species. 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 undeveloped. 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. Mitigation: None required. b. Reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species of animals? Yes No X Maybe Response: The property does not contain habitat that would support any unique, rare or endangered species of animals. Mitigation: None required. c. Introduction of new species of animals into an area, or in a barrier to the migration or movement of animals? Yes No X Maybe Response: This project will not introduce domestic pets into the area. The, nature of the project, commercial development for the purposes of professional offices, precludes the introduction of domestic pets. Mitigation: None required. d. Deterioration to existing fish or wildlife habitat? Yes No X Maybe Response: The site does not contain any fish or wildlife habitat that would be significantly impacted by the project. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department n Planning Division . R Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 6. Noise. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial increases in existing noise levels? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not result in a substantial increase in noise created on-site or in the vicinity. Increased traffic generation resulting from development of this site may cause an increase in ambient noise levels along affected roads. Construction activities will cause temporary, localized increases in existing noise levels. Long- term impacts can be mitigated by sensitive site planning and the use of noise attenuation buffering as needed. Mitigation: None required. b. Exposure of people to severe noise levels? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project is located in a mix of commercial/residential/semi-rural area. The proximity of the Esplanade causes the most significant noise in the area. The construction of professional offices on the proposed parcels will not result in any of the occupants being subject to severe noise levels. Mitigation: None required. 7. Light and Glare. Will the proposal produce substantial new light or glare? Yes No Maybe X Response: This project will create new parcels for commercial uses. Commercial development could generate a significant amount of light and glare, impacting both residences on the west side of the project and traffic safety along the Esplanade on the east side of the project. Generation of glare onto adjoinging properties would be minimized by requiring all exterior lighting to be directional and 'low spillover." MITIGATION #1: All outside lighting fixtures shall utilize 'low spillover" design where all direct lighting shall remain on site, allowing only reflective lighting to spillover into those areas off site. , 8. Land Use. Will the proposal result in a substantial alteration of the present or planned land use of the area? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not alter the land use in the area. The project site is zoned Highway Commercial which allows for this type of project and is designated by the Butte County General Plan as Commercial. The proposed project conforms to both the general plan and zoning. Mitigation: None required. 9. Natural Resources. Will the proposal result in: a. Substantial increase in the rate of use of any natural resource? Yes No X Maybe ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division a 7 Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 Response: This project will allow for the construction of commercial development. The use of natural resourses will be limited to those products needed to construct the offices and energy to.heat, cool, and light those offices. Mitigation: None required. b. Substantial depletion of any non-renewable natural resource? Yes No X Maybe Response: See the discussion for item 9a. Mitigation: None required. 10. Risk of Upset. Will the proposal involve: a. A risk of an explosion or the release of hazardous substances (including, but not limited to, oil, pesticides, chemicals or radiation) in the event of an accident or upset conditions? Yes No X Maybe Response: This project will allow for the construction of professional offices on commercially zoned parcels. The proposal will not involve significant use of hazardous materials, nor is located close to any facilities which store or utilize such materials. Mitigation: None required. b. Possible interference with an emergency response plan or an emergency evacuation plan? Yes No X Maybe Response: There is not an adopted emergency response plan or evacuation plan that for this area and therefore the proposed project will not affect any such plan. Mitigation: None required. 11. Population. Will the proposal alter the location, distribution, density, or growth rate of the human population of an area? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not significantly affect the population of the area other than to provide professional services for a portion of the population. Mitigation: None required. 12. Housing. Will the proposal affect existing housing or create a demand for additional housing? Yes No X Maybe Response: This project will not affect existing housing. Demand for housing is influenced and determined by market forces. Construction of housing is presently taking place in and around this project site. The existance of this project has not influenced the applications for these residential subdivisions. Other criteria and constraints, such ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division ■ E Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 as the existence and location of the Chico Greenline, and the viability of the local housing market directly affect the location and demand for additional housing. Mitigation: None required. 13. Transportation/Circulation. Will the proposal result in: a. Generation of substantial additional vehicular movement? Yes No Maybe X Response: This proposal will represent an incremental increase in traffic in the area. The proposed project will generate approximately 1262 vehicle trips per day. This figure was arrived at by taking the trip generation factor'of 34.17 for average vehicle trip ends per 1000 square feet of gross floor area on a weekday for professional office use (ITE, Trip Generation, 1991, p 985). Appropriate mitigations were instituted in the Vesting TSM for Tom Enloe, et al, Log # 88-05-17-03, AP No. 07-50-01, File #90-53, June 15, 1988. These mitigations addressed the potential impacts from the residential portion of this property. Potential traffic impacts from the commercial portion should be mitigated with a pro rata contribution for traffic signals at ShastaAvenue/the Esplanade. MITIGATION #2: The project proponents shall contribute a pro rata share to the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of the Espanande and Shasta Avenue. Trip rate shall be calculated utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual for professional office use. 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 24-240 will be enforced. Mitigation: None required. c. Substantial impact upon existing transportation systems, including public transportation services? Yes No X Maybe Response: This project is not expected to result in an increase in congestion and maintenance requirements on area roads and on public transportation services. Mitigation: None required. d. Significant alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or goods? Yes No X Maybe Response: The proposal will not alter the present pattern of circulation in the area. The access road for the proposed parcels wil be from Yellowstone Drive. The circulation pattern for the area was determined by the approval of the earlier (residential) subdivision. Mitigation: None required. ■ Butte County Development Services Department . Planning Division ■ E Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 e. Alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic? Yes No X Maybe Response: The project is not located near any railroads, harbors, or ariports and will therefore have no effect on those facilities. Mitigation: None required. Increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians? Yes No Maybe X Response: Anytime new development generates an incremental increase in traffic the potential for an increase in traffic hazards exists. The best management techniques to address these potential traffic hazards have been incorporated into the earlier (residential) development adjacent to this parcel. Appropriate mitigations are included in Item 13(a). Mitigation: See Item 13(a). 14. Public Services. Will the proposal have substantial effect upon or result in a need for new or altered governmental services in any of the following areas: a. Fire Protection? Yes No Maybe X Response: The project is located in an area with an unclassified fire hazard designation. The proposal will result in an incremental increase in demand for fire protection in the area. The project is required, by ordinance for urban areas, to meet Butte County Fire Department specifications for a pressurized water system with fire hydrants. The project is located in that portion of West Chico where provision for funding a new fire station has been established. The project will be required to pay $75.00 per lot.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Yes No X Maybe Response: As discussed in Section II of this document and more specifically subsections 4(a - d) & 5(a - d), this project will not significantly degrade the quality of the environment. 2. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure will into the future.) Yes No X Maybe I_ Response: The project, as discussed in Section II and subsections 1(a - e), 2(a - c), 3(a - j),6(a - b),7, 8, 9(a -b),m10(a - b), 11, 12, 14(a - f), 15(a - b), 16(a - 017(a - b), & 19 of this Initial Study, will not result in short-term benefits of the expense of impacting long-term environmental goals. 3. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project's impact on two or more separate resources may be relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) Yes No Maybe X Response: This proposal will not have a significant cumulative impact on the environment. As discussed in Section 11, subsections 3(b), 7, 13(a, f), 14(a), & 16(e) of this document, this proposal may have a significant cumulative impact on the environment, but this project can be mitigated to a level of insignificance by the incorporation of stated mitigation measures as part of the project approval. 4. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Yes No X Maybe Response: As discussed in Section II of this Initial Study, this proposal will not have a significant adverse effect on human beings. ■ Butte County Development Services Department ■ Planning Division, ■ 15 Tentative Subdivision Map: Yellowstone Park for Enloe Ranch, File #95-179 IV. DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X I find that although the proposed project COULD HAVE a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described herein have been added to the conditions of approval for the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

Sanitary Sewer Service to -this property is subject to compliance with the conditions of the Sewer Service and, Annexation Agreement. A copy of those conditions is attached' for your use and reference. 2. The site access should be located as far to the west as" - possible to provide the maximum storage lane for left turns from eastbound Yellowstone Drive -to northbound Esplanade. They length of the left turn storage lane should account for' anticipated residential development to the west. '3. If this parcel is tributary to the sanitary sewer lifts station, it is to be included -in the County Service Area whichl funds the operation of the facility. r 4. Parking lot design modification is required to address the following: A. Fifty percent (50%) parking lot shading is required. B. It appears that most, if not all, parking spaces are such that a vehicle will overhang the adjacent sidewalks or`' landscape area by about two feet. In the case of a four foot sidewalk, this will reduce the useable width of the sidewalk, making it difficult to use and possibly failingf to comply with ADA requirements. This overhang would also preclude meaningful landscaping in the center', portions of the two proposed "island" planters. 5. Parking is adequate for office use, but not intense commercial use, such as a restaurant. Permit should clearly limit use to preclude this problem. 6. If possible, relocate or screen with dense landscaping they pad -mounted utility transformer. cc: Greg Webb, Webb Homes Mike Byrd, Rolls, Anderson & Rolls I t CONDITIONS TO ACCOMPANY ANNEXATION AND SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT A.

(File UP96-05) (SH) Steve Hackney summarized the Agenda Report. Mr. Seegert asked why the mitigations listed on the initial study are not listed as conditions. Mr. Hackney said the mitigations are met as part of the parcel map and it was felt it would be redundant to repeat them. Mr. Hogan suggested adding a condition that the applicant shall meet all conditions of the parcel map as they apply to the development of the site. - Commissioner Lynch said that the project would have to annex to the City in order to get sewer, then get building permits from the City of Chico. HEARING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Greg Webb, the applicant, said they have a sewer service agreement with the City of Chico for the adjacent subdivision. They do not have to annex to develop the subject parcel on sewer. They will get the building permit from the County. The annexation goes to LAFco next month, and could be annexed in the next few months. HEARING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC It was moved by Commissioner Lambert, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, and carried unanimously for approval of the Use Permit for Webb Homes, based on the findings and conditions of the Agenda Report, including the additional condition to meet all conditions of the parcel map as the apply to the development of the site. 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 and the conditions added to the project will mitigate such effects to a level of insignificance; and I — - . - -J BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION ' MINUTES- January --25, 1996, , - B. The design of the proposed project improvements will not cause environmental damage to fish or wildlife or their habitat; and C. 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 with mitigation measures reflects the independent judgement of the County of Butte; 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 currently designated on the General Plan as Commercial and allows, as a primary use, in this land use category, professional offices/services proposed with this use permit. B. The use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding property or detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the persons E residing or working in the neighborhood in that the H -C zone has a wide variety of potential uses including the uses proposed in this permit, and the surrounding properties zoned for similar uses and the land uses primarily consist of general commercial operations on either smaller or similar sized parcels and the proposed use will not affect the operation of those uses. + i. C. The use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, the general health, welfare and safety of the residents of Butte County in that conditions imposed by this permit, if adhered to by the applicant, will ensure that the public safety is protected. Section 3: Action. A. Subject to the findings indicated in Sections 1 and 2 of this Exhibit A, Use Permit for Webb Homes on APN 006-500-021 to allow one office building on each of the four parcels on this project site, is approved subject to the conditions listed herein.

A Tentative Parcel Map creating four parcels was recently approved for this site. The site is level, providing no habitat for wildlife (except perhaps field mice). No surface water or other hydrologic features exist on the site. Access to the site will be from Yellowstone Drive. The site will be serviced by California Water Service Company and sewer service will be provided by the City of Chico sewer treatment plant. The project site is currently undeveloped. The four parcels are surrounded on the north and south by H -C zoned undeveloped parcels, on the east by The Esplanade, and on the west by the Amber Grove residential subdivision. The principal surrounding land uses consist of highway commercial, commercial and residential. ■ Butte County Planning Commission Agenda Report ■ AGENDA ITEM PROJECT AND SURROUNDING ZONING, GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION, AND EXISTING LAND USE: Described below are the project and surrounding zoning, general plan land use designation and the existing land uses. Direction Zoning General Plan Existing Land Use Project: H -C Commercial Undeveloped North: H -C Commercial Undeveloped South: H -C Commercial Undeveloped East: C-2 Commercial Commercial West: City of Chico City of Chico Residential ANALYSIS: This request, with a Use Permit, is consistent with the H -C zoning and Commercial General Plan designation which permits such commercial uses. The project has two areas of concern: parking and sewage, disposal. Parkina. The tentative plan map (October 1995) for the Use Permit indicates 77 parking stalls. The zoning ordinance requires 67 spaces. The site plan indicates the stalls to be 18 feet in length, with backup distances of 24 feet. The zoning ordinance requires stalls to be 20 feet in length and backup distances to be 25 feet. The site plan also shows the sidewalks to be 4 feet in width and allows the autos to overlap the sidewalk 1 1/2 feet. Therefore, the sidewalks also need to be increased to provide a minimum of four feet free and clear. In discussions with the applicant, these dimensions were addressed and the applicant has indicated they would be reconfigured to meet County parking requirements. Sewage disposal. Initially, there was some question as to whether or not the project was going to be on City of Chico community sewer or not. Discussions with the applicant and with the City Planning Director confirm the project will be on City sewer. The applicant has already signed agreements with the City for such services. Specific conditions of approval, which the City requires of the applicant, are,incorporated in the attached Exhibit A. There was also some question as to the type of uses to go into the proposed buildings. The applicant has indicated that no food type of business would be allowed. Professional type uses, consistent with those proposed (the applicant's own contracting business and an engineering firm's business), would be the type of businesses to go into the two remaining buildings. The H -C zone, with a Use Permit, allows the following uses: duplex, multi -family dwellings, bed and breakfast inns, and multiple single family residences; ■ Butte County Planning Commission Agenda Report ■ 7 AGENDA ITEM hotels and tels, clubs, logge halls, hospitals, and clinics; retail stoes and shops of light commercial character as listed in the C-1 zoning district; new automobile sales, theaters, small animal hospitals, pet shops, mortuaries, used car sales, service statiions, adult entertainment businesses, drive-in restaurants and other uses of similar character; recreational vehicle and mobile home parks. Again, the applicant indicated that only professional businesses of a similar nature consistent with the two businesses scheduled to go into the first two buildings, will be brought into the last two buildings. Staff recommends the project be conditioned to assure this be done. Access to the site will be from Yellowstone Drive. Although the property borders the Esplanade on the east, no direct access will be permitted onto the Esplanade.
