The ~ardpan which urtderlies the Gridley soils res~r~cts subsoil drainage and reduces the suitabili~y of the land for tree nut cro~s, Jerry Smith, Butte County Farm~Adv~sor, feels that tf~is restriction reduces the soil capability to Class III. Tree crops which are mare to1erant of paorly drained soi~s, s~ach as peaches and prunes, are better suited to Gridley soils. Honcut soiis are generally well drained and can accammodate nut crops.

Resi denti al and other urban develo~ment causes t~re rur~off rat~ and volume to increase significantly. Many of these ditches, especialiy ~aterals ~-1, E-1-A and E~7-A~ are currently at or near capacity, and some localized ~in~r f]ooding occurs dur~ng extremely ra~ny periads. Contin~ed development will add to this problem. S~rface water contaminants fram developments in the st~b~e~t area will incl~d~ inorganic solids, algal nutr~~n~s, heavy metals. and organic matter. Inorgar~ic solids are usuaily ~~ae greatest in voiume. Sediment ~'rom construc~ion ac~ivities can be reduced or eliminated by prop~r. con~roi measures. Rnads, driveways, and simi~ar collecting sur~'aces are the most significant lang~~erm sources of such ma~e~ial. Tech- niq~es exist for reducing build-ups of t#~es~ pollutan~s, but they are not commanly employed. Consequently, great vo~umes of inorganic materiais are f~ushed into receiving waters during the ~~rst storms of th~ rainy season. The "shocEc" af these contar~inants on receiving waters can b~ ~ higl~Iy de~rimental. Significant amounts o~F o~her contamin~ ants are carried w~th the inorganics, adding to t~e ef~"ect. -11- LA7 E-f - -••-..-r .: : •:..~~! ~~ ~~~ .':.~%'~~':'`.~'•:-::~:•:~ OROYfLLE GRIDLEY ~~~ ~~1 ~ L,ar ~-r-a ~~ . ~\ 3 O ~ ~ ~ 0 z o ~ 2 .

The Feather Rivex on the east, the Sutt~r Caunty line on ~he south and ta the west the eastern limat of th~ exist~.ng A-40 zone. Current~.y the subject a~ea is znned: A-2 (Genera~.), A-S . (Agricul.fuxal), A-4~ (Agricu~turaI.), A-R (Agr~.cul~ural-Residentia7.), S-R (Suburban-Resid~nt~.a~), R~1 (S~ngle-Family Residential). The proposed zoning districts are: A-5, A-40, C-2 (General Commercial), M-I {~ight Indus~xiai), M-2 {Heavy Industr~al), P-Q (Public, Quasi--Public~,R=3 (I~Z~diiurE-Density Residen'~ia~), .

The ,current General Plar~ ~and Us~ d~;s~gnation.s for the area inc~ude Orchard and Fie1d Craps, Law-Dens~.ty Resident~al (~.-4 DU per acre)~ Medium Den.s~'ty Residen~ial. (5~8 DU per acre3, Comt~erci.al., Industrza~ an~ Public. The presposed desi.g- natians are ~he same as the aforementianedjwith modified boundaries, ~p~us the new Agrzcu~.tuxa~-Resident~al [1-40 acr~s per un~,t) and ;~Tigh Density Residentia~ [12 Di~rel~ing uni~s per acre) . According to the Planning Cammission, the rezone and ~enexal Plan amendment are being propost;d in order to CompieteZy revise -~he Land Use Plan Map to better re£lec't existi~.g develop- men~, provide ~or prajected housing needs, main'~ain agricu~tuxa~ ~rop produc~ion; facilitate specifi~ rezoning of unclassified "A- 2" a~ea.s, ar~d to re£~.ect ~he p~anr~ing activ~ties of the Cx~ies of Gridley and ~iggs. Throughout '~he project area, the land is essentia~.ly ~.eve~. wi~h s lopes less than 10 percent. Eleva~a.on averages be~ween 85 and 95 feet. There are a varzety of so~ls ~aithin ~he 45 squ.are ~mile subj ect area and they gener~.l~y faJ.l into C~ass ~., .I~ and III. The majar so~l associations inc~ude: Vina-Faxtacll, Honcut, Redding-San Joaquin--Rocklin a~.d Columbia. Some o~ the minaic associations that appear are: Land~ow- Ma~rvin, Stockton--5acramento and Conejo-Berrindos. Soils generaZly ar~ very~ deep and moderately iaell dr~ai.ned.

Th~ Columbia soi~.s, Stockton-Sacrament~ sails, and Land].ow-Marvin sails are cZayey and ~ay have poor subsaal drainage. Appendix F- page $ of 9 _ r ? The major ~and use outs~de of the Biggs and GrzdZey City L~m~ts is agriculture (o~chaxds and fie~dicraps}.
