RESOLUTION OF THE BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
OPPOSING THE CITY OF CHICO PROPOSED ANNEXATION
KNOWN AS THE EAST AVENUE, THE ESPLANADE, AND PANAMA AVENUE ANNEXATION PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Butte County Board of Supervisors has recognized
a continuing erosion of property tax and sales tax revenues to the county
caused by selective annexations of the City of Chico; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chico proposes the annexation of a number
of parcels bordered by Panama Avenue, The Esplanade, and East Avenue, all
of which are commercial properties; and
WHEREAS, the city's continued policy of selective annexation of
commercial properties without the inclusion of residential properties repre-
sents a cumulative negative impact to the ability of the County of Butte
to continue to provide services; and
WHEREAS, the Butte County Local Agency Formation Commission has
a policy prohibiting selective annexations of commercial zones for the purpose
of revenue generation; and
WHEREAS, the annexation proposed represents cumulative environmental
impacts in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, 8E IT RESOLVED that the Butte County Board of
Supervisors position on the East Avenue, The Esplanade, and Panama Avenue
Annexation Project is as follows:
1. This project should be included in the environ-
mental impact report on the North Valley Plaza
Mall Annexation Project since this and other
annexation projects by the city represent cumula-
tive impacts as defined in the California Environ-
mental Quality Act.
-2-
2. The proposed annexation should be denied by
the Local Agency Formation Commission since
the city's policy clearly is to obtain the reve-
nues associated with these properties without
the companion obligations of provisions of service
to residential zones through similar annexation
activities.
3. The Board of Supervisors opposes this annexation
since the properties have substantial nan property
tax revenues.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 17th day of July, 1986 by the
