O1-086 Continued Public Hearing - Cary Gunn - Use Permit/Mining Permit
and Reclamation Plan (Roger and Vicky Stauffer) - consideration
of an appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of a Use
Permit and Mining Permit/Reclamation Plan (this is a project on
which a negative declaration with mitigation measures regarding
environmental impacts has been recommended) to operate a
surface aggregate mine. The proposed mine operation involves
the extraction and processing of alluvial gravel from the 42-
acre mine site in a series of 5 phases, with an average size of
8.4 acres each. The mine will be operated intermittently.
Mining will occur on an upland terrace of Dry Creek.
Production will equal approximately 50,000 to 250,000 tons per
year, with a total estimated production of 650,000 tons of
material. The mined material will be processed by a portable
rock crusher and screen into various products. The processed
material will be hauled off-site, via Wheelock Road. Each
phase will be mined-out in approximately 6 months to 2 years,
with the conclusion of all mining occurring in 2 to 8 years
after permit approval. The expected termination date of the
mine is November 2008. A Reclamation Plan has been submitted
in accordance with the State Surface Mining and Reclamation
Act. After final mining is completed, and the plan grade 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 as APN 041-

Public Hearincr and Timed Items
01-087 Public Hearing - Stephen J. Schuster:
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

has been given) proposing thirty 1 ± acre parcels, one
1.47 acre parcel (Lot "A") for community sewage disposal,
one 5 ± acre parcel (Lot "B") for a future neighborhood
park, and one parcel (Lot "C") for a storm water
retention area. The project will be provided with water
service by individual domestic wells. Roads shall be
dedicated for public use. The property is located east
of, and adjacent to Garner Lane, approximately 1.6 miles
