BUTTE COUNTY UPPER RIDGE COMMUNITY PLAN AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW
The Butte County Department of Development Services is pleased to announce the release of the Draft Upper Ridge
Community Plan. Through a series of public workshops and community engagement efforts, the Plan sets out a long-
term vision for recovery from the 2018 Camp Fire disaster and future growth. The goals of the Upper Ridge
Community Plan are to:
Develop a land use blueprint and policy direction for future growth, infrastructure, conservation, and
development.
Improve circulation to enhance everyday connectivity for people driving, walking, and bicycling.
Enhance emergency response and evacuation options during emergency events.
Promote a resilient, healthy, and fire-safe community by improving long-term environmental and ecological
conditions.
Plan for a vibrant "town center" and community gathering place.
Provide enhanced recreational opportunities for the enjoyment of open space, parks, and trails.
The Plan is available on the project webpage: www.buttecounty.net/dds/urcp. A printed hardcopy is also available at
the Magalia Community Center located at 13917 S. Park Drive.
We encourage all community members to review and comment on the Plan.
Comments voicing support for the Plan are an important part of this process and will also be provided to decision-
makers. All comments will become part of the public record.
Please submit all comments by January 14, 2022. Comments may be emailed to Senior Planner Rowland Hickel at:
