(1) THAT THE LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION IN
THE EIR IS SUFFICIENT TO SERVE AS A RATIONAL BASIS FOR A

(2) THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT DIVIDES POTENTIAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FROM'ANTICTPATED BUILDOUT OF THE BIDWELL
HEIGHTS PROJECT INTO THE CATEGORIES OF "SIGNIFICANT," REQUIRING',
MITIGATIONS WHERE FEASIBLE, AND THOSE IMPACTS WHICH ARE EXPECTED
TO BE "INSIGNIFICANT." IMPACTS FALLING IN THE "SIGNIFICANT"
CATEGORY INCLUDE EXPOSURE TO SEISMIC HAZARD, AIR POLLUTION,
ALTERATION OF NATURAL SCENIC VIEWS, REMOVAL OF NATIVE VEGETATION,
WILDLIFE HABITAT REDUCTION, TRAFFIC INCREASES AT SANTOS WAY
AND HIGHWAY 32, INCREASED FIRE DANGER AND EXPOSURE TO FIRE
HAZARD, INCREASE IN SERVICE LOAD ON POLICE AND FIRE AGENCIES,

CHANGES:

DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER AND PURSUE'..
THE POSSIBILITY, ALONG WITH THE APPLICANT, WITH THE STATE

PATH."

CLUSTERED IS BEING REJECTED BECAUSE THERE ARE MULTIPLE

PAGE 7, ITEM 7, MAKING THE FINDINGS THAT THE ADOPTION OF THIS
SPECIFIC PLAN IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH ALL ELEMENTS OF THE BUTTE
COUNTY GENERAL PLAN AND HAVING MADE THE ABOVE FINDINGS I WOULD
