for each phase is achieved, the site shall be
reclaimed to a condition that will allow for grazing
uses. The final reclaimed condition of the mine
site will result in a vegetated depression of 8
feet, with a gradual slope from the perimeter of the
mined area, contoured to match the surrounding
terrain. The proposed 42-acre mine site is located
within a 536-acre parcel of the Lucky 7 Ranch, and
lies on the south terrace of Dry Creek, west of and
adjacent to Wheelock Road approximately one-third
mile north of the intersection of Wheelock Road and
State Highway 70 in the Pentz area, and identified

A. General Plan Amendment/Rezone (GPA/RZ 00-05) -
the Planning Commission has recommended denial
of a proposed general plan amendment and
rezone amending the North Chico Specific
Plan's (NCSP) policies and exhibits.
Specifically the proposal involves a 5± acre
neighborhood park area zoned P-Q (Public,
Quasi-Public) and designated as "Public" by
the General Plan. The applicant proposes to
move this park to a location adjacent to
Keefer Slough, and to rezone the corresponding
OS (Open Space) zone and a portion of lands
zoned SR-1 (Suburban Residential-1 acre
parcels) to a P-Q zone. Additionally, the
NCSP General Plan designation would be amended
from "Public" to "Agricultural Residential".
The proposal would result in the removal of
approximately 2.4 acres of open space from the
NCSP. The acreage would be replaced with SR-1
zoning, which could allow for 2 additional
dwellings upon subdivision of the area. A
subdivision map has been submitted
concurrently (TSM 00-03) The property is
located east of, and adjacent to Garner Lane,
approximately 1.6 miles south of Keefer Road,
north of Keefer Slough in the north Chico
area, and identified as APN 047-350-013, 014,
and 015 (DB [GPA/RZ 00-05]) (FROM 2-13-O1
