EXHIBIT A-2
Gridley-Biggs Area Land Use Plan
Situated on and surrounded by agricultural soil resources which provide no alternative to the planned
conversion of agricultural lands to accommodate future urbanlrural development, the Gridley-Biggs Area Land
Use Plan provides for a relatively large amount of land designated Low, medium, and High Density Residential
and Agricultural Residential. These areas are located adjacent to the City of Gridley. Currently devoted to
a mixture of agricultural and rural residential uses, these areas are designated for future urban expansion. To
preserve these residential density options, for the time frame of the City of Gridley's General Plan {2020), and
to coordinate the County's policies with those of the City of Gridley, the area of the Gridley-Biggs Plan within
the adopted sphere of the City of Gridley should be an "Urban Reserve." To achieve these ends in a manner
consistent with the Land Use Element's policies regarding Orderly Development (1.7) and the Housing
Element's policy regarding adequate facilities and services (III-2 (d), 2 (h)), the policies below are applicable
to this portion of the Gridley-Biggs Area Land Use Plan.
^ The County's land use policy, zoning and subdivision shall be coordinated with the City of Gridley; arnl
^ The Urban Reserve (UR) policy shall be applied to ensure orderly premature growth and extension of
urban services does not occur outside the City boundaries. Only until such time as necessary urban
ser~~ces are prodded to the parcel targeted for development shall the maximum density/intensity of the
ultimate land use designation be applied. Prior to urban services being provided, the minimum parcel
size for residential uses within the UR area shall be 5 acres; the permitted uses shall only include those
allowed in the AR land use designation;
'Properties planned For industrial or commercial development shall be managed as an "urban reserve:,
permitting industrial or commercial uses on parcels of not less than 10 acres until such time as they are
needed for development and adequate services are available;
~^ The following shall apply to General Plan amendment, rezoning , or subdivision within the UR area.
Plans for necessary urban services (i.e. sewerage, water, circulation/roads, storm water management,
etc.) shall be completed and required finances shall be secured concurrent with or prior to any proposal
that ultimately involves the creation of parcels of less than 5 acres for residential use or 10 acres for
commercial/industrial use. To ensure long term efficiency in delivering services, these plans shall be
coordinated tivith the City Public Facilitiesr'Infrastructure plans;
^ Anv residential lot which is no~v less than 5 acres or commercial or industrial lot less than 10 acres which
was legally created, pre-existing, and nonconforming may be developed according to its zoning and the
provisions of Butte County Code 24-35; and
^ Development standards compatible with the City of Gridley shall be utilized for urban development
projects within the city's established sphere of influence.
^ The area added to the Gridley Sphere of Influence by LAFCo Resolution ~8 1999/00 shall remain in an
Orchard and Field Crop land use designation with an A-40 zone to preserve continued agricultural uses
until the land is annexed to the City of Gridley.
