BUTd'E, COUNTY APR 2 4 2007 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Project Support Statement for Verizon Wireless Site "Nelson" at 2003 Nelson Road BUTTE APN: 038-250-025 COUNTY LAT: N39° 33' 03.57" LONG: W121046'56.47" APR 2 4 2007 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Introduction Verizon Wireless is undertaking a large expansion project to add coverage to the homes and businesses in Butte County. As a part of this project, Verizon seeks to maintain and improve its existing coverage areas. This project will improve the service area to Verizon's existing network in Oroville. Verizon maintains a strong customer base in Oroville and strives to maintain, expand and improve coverage and capacity for both current and potential customers. This network development will maintain public safety within Oroville and continue wireless service to areas that are currently served. One site in particular, located at 2003 Nelson Road in Oroville, is experiencing an extremely high call volume. In order to maintain quality coverage in the area, it is necessary to remedy this situation as soon as possible. Rather than construct a new tower, Verizon has elected to modify this existing facility by replacing the outdated omni whip antennas (the long, thin antennas which extend up and down from the platform located at the top of the monopole) with new 8 -foot panel antennas that are better able to handle this increased call volume in the southern Oroville area. A ground lease area located at the base of the monopole will continue to contain the associated radio equipment. This unmanned facility will provide service to the area residents and businesses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This site will serve as a backup to the existing landline service in the area and will provide for mobile communications so essential to modern day commerce and recreation. Coverage Area This site has been designed to enhance call capacity in the following areas: • Vehicle users and businesses near the intersection at Nelson Road and Midway • Travelers on Highway 162 • Residents and businesses in the surrounding area • Recreational users in the west Oroville area Currently these areas lack quality service by Verizon Wireless. Alternative Locations Considered To remedy the call capacity issues that Verizon is experiencing in the Oroville area, Verizon has elected to modify an existing facility rather than construct a new tower. As a result, no other locations were considered for this project. Project Support Statement • page 2 of 3 Nelson, APN 038-250-025 Safety Benefits of Improved Wireless Service Mobile phone use has become an extremely important system for public safety. Along roads and highways without public call boxes, mobile phones are often the only means for emergency roadside communication. Motorists with disabled vehicles (or worse) can use their phone to call in and request appropriate assistance. With good cellular coverage along important roadways, emergency response is just a phone call away. Furthermore, as a back up system to traditional landline phone service, mobile phones have proven to be extremely important during natural disasters and other catastrophes. Convenience Benefits of Improved Wireless Service Modern day life has become increasingly dependent on instant communications. Whether it is a parent calling their child, spouse calling a spouse, or general contractor ordering materials to the jobsite, wireless phone service is no, longer just a convenience. It has become a way of life and a way of business. Compliance with Communication Tower Requirements Verizon's proposed antenna modification at 2003 Nelson Road will comply with Butte County's requirements for collocations; on existing facilities. Under Butte County Code, section 24-262(f)(3), the development standards for collocation on existing facilities in Butte County include the following: • All1equipment shelters, cabinets, or structures utilized or built in connection with the facilities shall be located within the building being utilized for the facility, or on the ground outside of any setback area or required vehicle parking space,.or on the roof, if visually screened. This modification does not seek to alter the ground-based equipment whatsoever. • Additional facilities shall not extend out horizontally from the pole more than the widest existing projection. The use of proximity designs is encouraged. The proposed antenna replacement will not extend out horizontally more than the widest existing projection. Please see the enclosed drawings and photosimu/ations. • The antennas and pole shall be painted to match the color of the existing antennas and pole or tower, or shall be painted and constructed to blend with the prevalent architecture or natural features existing on the subject site, as determined by the director of development services. The: replacement panel antennas will match the color of the existing antennas and monopole. Please see the enclosed photosimu/ations. In addition to the above requirements for collocation, this replacement will not add height to the existing tower. Th6existing lattice tower is 194 feet tall, with omni antennas that bring the overall height to 197.8 feet. Two of the five omni antennas will remain after the panel antennas are installed at a centerline 6607 feet. I Project Support Statement • page 3 of 3 Nelson, APN 038-250-025 o. Photosimulation of view looking east from the adjacent levee. ,t Compliance with FCC Standards This project will not interfere with any TV, radio, telephone, satellite, or any other signals. Any interference would be against the Federal Law and would be a violation Verizon's FCC License. Irk Power Density This antenna replacement will aid the call volume problems in this area. The panel antennas will continue to operate significantly below the ANSI standard for our cellular frequency. The legal ANSI standard for our frequency is 587 uW/cm2. The existing omni antennas and the proposed panel antennas both operate at less than 1 % of the legal standard. At the base of the lattice tower, the omni antennas operate at 0.000013 UW/CM2 and the panel antennas will operate at 0.000039 uW/cm2* These both round to 0% of the legal standard. At 1,000 feet from the base of the tower, the omni antennas operate at 0.276758 UW/CM2 and the panel antennas will operate at 0.818605 uW/cm2, both operating at less than 0.5% of the legal standard. Construction Schedule The construction of the facility will be in compliance with all local rules and regulations. They typical duration is one month. The crew size will range from 2 to 10 individuals. 6 B .

The parcel is located at 2003 Nelson Avenue (on the south side of Nelson Avenue, approximately 0.75 mile west of the Community of Nelsonat the intersection of Nelson Roand and the Western Canal). APN: 038-250-025 Dear Complete Wireless: This office is pleased that your project is tentatively scheduled for hearing before the Butte County Planning Commission on February 28, 2008. If the Planning Commission approves your project, it is the responsibility of this office to file a Notice of Determination (NOD) with the Butte County Clerk, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). You may have been aware of fees collected by this office on behalf of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the Butte County Clerk in conjunction with the filing of the NOD. These fees are required pursuant to the State of California's Public Resources Code (Public Resources Code §711.4). A $50 fee was collected at the time your application was submitted. Most of our 2006 applications noted that you would be responsible for the statutory $1,250 CDFG fee if the project is approved and $1,800 for 2007 applications. As of January 1, 2008, the State Legislature increased the CEQA fees for filing a Notice of Determination to $1,876.75 and $50 respectively. Therefore a balance of $1876.75 is due on your project. In addition, the Legislature removed local authority for determining any exemptions to these fees and placed that responsibility with CDFG. Staff has investigated whether the increased fees could be applied only to projects submitted after January 1, 2007 and discovered that was not the case.. All fees must be paid prior to the filing of the Notice of Determination. The Public Resources Code states: The collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 is required, prior to filing a Notice of Determination for the project, unless the project proponent provides verification from the California Department of Fish and Game that the project is exempt from the fee requirement. If a required fee is not paid for a project, the project will not be operative, vested or final and any local permits issued for the project will be invalid (Public Resources Section 711.4 (c) (3)) (emphasis added). As a result of these changes, the $1,876.75 Department of Fish and Game filing fee (payable to Butte County) is now collected by the Department of Development Services prior to circulation of Draft Negative Declarations. In cases such as yours where the Draft Negative Declaration has already been circulated, we request the required additional fees $1876.75 be paid prior to the public hearing to allow us to complete your project and meet the requirements of the new legislation. I understand this represents a substantial increase in fees you were originally informed of for this application and apologize for the inconvenience caused by this change in state law. I have enclosed a copy of a cover letter from the County Clerk -Recorder further explaining the fee. We look forward; as we are sure you do, to the Planning Commission hearing and completion of your project. Please contact myself at 530-538-7603 with any questions.

PLEASE SEND YOUR RESPONSE TO: ctolley@buttecoun , .net Signature: Department: Date: K:/Planning/Projects/A New RUM Memos/IDR Completeness 8/30/05 Agreement For Butte County Archaeological Resources Project Review By The Northeast Information Center (NEIC) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is the California State statute that requires the Butte County Department of Development Services to perform an environmental review on all discretionary land use projects, to identify the significant environmental impacts of the project and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible. Every development project which requires a discretionary governmental approval will require at least some environmental review pursuant to CEQA, unless an exemption applies. The environmental review required imposes both procedural and substantive requirements. At a minimum, an initial review of the project and its environmental effects must be conducted. Depending upon the potential effects, a further and more substantial review may be conducted in the form of an environmental impact report (EIR). A project may not be approved if feasible alternatives or mitigation measures cannot substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of the project. At the state level, CEQA requires that public agencies consider the effects of their actions on historical resources eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. "Historical resource" refers to buildings, structures, sites (prehistoric and historic), objects, districts, and all manner of properties containing material remains of past human life or activity. The Department of Development Services utilizes the Northeast Information Center (NEIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) to identify projects that may have archaeological significance. The CHRIS is a statewide system for managing information on the full range of historical resources identified in California. This system is under the authority and direction of the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and the State Historical Resources Commission (SHRC). The Northeast Center of the CHRIS system, located at California State University, Chico, manages the historical resource records for I I counties, including Butte County. The Northeast Information Center will furnish a Record Search to Development Services indicating the archaeologicaL/historical significance and sensitivity of the applicant's project area and additionally providing a recommendation as to whether further archaeological survey is warranted. If further archaeological survey is required, the application would be considered incomplete until the appropriate archaeological survey is completed and reviewed. The Department of Development Services will forward applicant's payment (by check) of $75.00 and relevant project application information required for the Records Search to NEIC. NEIC will provide the results of the Records Search to Development Services. Development Services will notify the applicant if further archaeological survey is warranted. The $75.00 fee does not cover the cost of further archaeological survey work. If further archaeological survey work is required, Development Services will work with the applicant to see that it is accomplished, according to set standards, by a qualified archaeologist. The applicant shall bear all costs associated with further archaeological survey work required to continue processing of the planning project application. THIS FORM MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COPY OF A 7.5' TOPO MAP, WITH THE PROJECT AREA OUTLINED. THIS IS USED DURING THE REVIEW TO RESEARCH CULTURAL SITES. The undersigned applicant for the project as identified below has read and understood the Butte County. Archaeological Resources Project Review process and agrees to fund the required Record Search to be provided by NEIC. Attached is a check for $75.00 made payable to the Northeast Information Center for NEIC to perform the Records Search. Failure of payment to NEIC for this Records Search would result in the planning project application to be considered incomplete until payment of the $75.00 Records Searc4 fee along with any related fees associated with non-payment (returned check charges, etc.) paid in full to NEIC.

At 1000 ft. from the base of the tower, the resulting power density of 1.419500 µW/cm2 represents 0.24' of the standard. These numbers were calculated taking this site's specific antenna patterns into account. The power density 1000 ft. away from the tower is greater than the power density at the base of the tower because the antenna's power is directed outward rather than downward.

Microflect self-supporting tower located at Nelson, CA, Butte County (ATC site# 82603). The tower was originally designed and manufactured by Microflect (Drawing# B-108099 dated March 15, 2000). The original design profile is attached for additional information. Analysis The tower was analyzed using Semaan Engineering Solutions, Inc., Software. The analysis assumes that the tower is in good, undamaged, and non -corroded condition. A 5% overstress is allowed in the existing structural members to account for program variances.

The project consists of mounting three wireless antenna sectors at the 108 foot level with a maximum of four panel antennas per sector, removing three of the five existing omni antennas and relocation of two to the antenna sectors, and installing wiring to connect the collocation facilities to the equipment cabinets. Staff recommends adoption of a negative declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, and approval of the permit with conditions. Due to State Clearinghouse noticing requirements, staff has requested that the item be continued until March 13, 2008 in order to accommodate the State Clearinghouse 30 -day review period. The Resolution prepared for this project identifies the March 13, 2008 hearing date. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: • This is an application for a Minor Use Permit to collocate and operate a telecommunications facility for wireless internet on an existing 194.2 (197.8 foot overall height) foot tower owned by American Tower Corporation. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 1 of 14 ■ • The project consists of: Mounting three wireless antenna sectors with a maximum of four panel antennas per sector (two proposed to be installed on each sector following the approval of the Minor Use Permit, and two to be installed at a future date). Removal of three omni antennas and relocation of two omni antennas to the three proposed antenna sectors. • Installing wiring to connect the collocation facilities to the equipment cabinets. • The Verizon panel antennas will be centered at the 108 foot level. • Verizon currently operates at the facility, and will not be constructing new ground equipment inside the existing fenced area (no additional fencing is required). • No excavation or grading will occur, as a result of the proposed project. • The structural analysis (performed on April 5, 2007) identifies that the existing and proposed collocation facilities account for a maximum of 76% of tower build -out in the specific section of the tower. A representative from American Tower Corporation (ATC) noted that the load in the section is a fairly light. Lattice towers may accommodate a wide variety of collocations at varying locations, including microwave dishes and cellular antennas. • As reported by the representative, cellular providers typically collocate in the same area on the tower (as the structural load will allow). This is due to topography of the locale and how the wireless technology functions in that environment. Future collocation facilities may utilize the remaining 24% of the section build -out; however, as technology may allow yet smaller antennas, it is not possible to predict the quantity or location of future collocations. Furthermore, the tower may be modified structurally, so that further collocations are possible. • Any future collocation would be required to meet structural requirements of the California Building Code, as well as section 24-262 (Wireless communications) of the Butte County Code. • Minimal traffic would be generated during the estimated one month construction phase while a crew travels to and from the site. • In its operational phase, the Verizon project will be unmanned and would not require water, waste treatment or management of hazardous waste. Electric service is provided by PG&E. • The site would be in operation twenty four (24) hours a day, seven days a week. There would be approximately one visit per month by a radio technician for routine maintenance. • No advertising or signage is proposed, except signs required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and emergency contact information. • Access to the site is, and will continue to be, from Nelson Road. • This request for a Minor Use Permit to allow the collocation of a wireless communications facility is in accordance with Butte County Code Section 24-262(k) and State law, which require certification of an environmental impact report or adoption of a negative or mitigated negative declaration for collocations proposed on towers that have not been subject to previous discretionary and environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 2 of 14 ■ SITE CHARACTERISTICS: • The project parcel is zoned A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) and is designated OFC (Orchard and Field Crops) by the Butte County General Plan. • Adjacent zoning, general plan designations and land use are presented in the table below. Direction General Plan Designation Zoning Existing Land Use(s North Orchard and Field Crops A-40 Field Crops (rice) South Orchard and Field Crops A-40 Field Crops (rice) East Orchard and Field Crops A-40 Field Crops (rice) West Orchard and Field Crops A-40 Field Crops (rice)/single dwelling unit • The 0.05 acre lease area (where the tower and ground, equipment are located) is surrounded by a six foot high chain link fence. The tower currently hosts approximately nine microwave dishes and approximately three sets of antennas, including the existing omni antennas operated by Verizon. The facilities are located between the twenty five foot level and the top of the tower. • MUP 02-14 was approved on April 24, 2002, which allowed a collocation of six panel antennas and a microwave dish for AT&T Wireless (formerly Cingular). The facilities were processed without environmental review under section 15301, a categorical exemption. • The southwestern portion of the site is adjacent to the Western Canal, which is operated by the Western Canal Water District (WCWD). The WCWD operates an office located on the project parcel, approximately 130 feet from the lease area. • The site is located within the AE Flood Zone (100 -year flood zone, base flood elevations determined), as show on the FIRM map 06007CO745 C (effective June 8, 1998). The proposed project does not include the addition of any ground equipment. • The site is not located within airport land use compatibility zone. • Access to the site is from Nelson Road via a small private road. ANALYSIS: Zoning/General Plan Consistency Per Butte County Code Sections 24-262 (d) and (k) (based upon the updated Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance 3956, approved February 13, 2007), collocations on facilities in the A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) zone require only a building permit, unless the facility was not subject to a county or city discretionary permit process within which there was full CEQA compliance. • The project site is designated as Orchard and Field Crops by the Land Use Element Map of the General Plan, which allows public uses as secondary uses (note: mobile phone service providers are considered a public utility because they are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission). • The proposed collocation complies with the residential zone standards for the A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) as stated in Butte County Code Section 24-262(i)(3). ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 3 of 14 ■ • Land Use • • The project would not result in a significant increase in air emissions, fugitive dust emissions, light, noise, or vehicle traffic. • Only a minor amount of construction activity would be required to install the proposed antennas and wiring. • The proposed antennas are not expected to create any significant visual impacts because they would not increase the height of the proposed tower nor will they extend horizontally beyond the existing antennas. • Photo simulations (see Attachment C) of the proposed antennas show that they would not significantly change the appearance of the tower. • No emergency power generators or batteries are proposed to be installed in the existing equipment shelter. • The project site is not located within an Airport Compatibility Zone. Radio -Frequency (RF) Emissions • A radio-frequency analysis, prepared by a registered electrical engineer (Doug Picard, Senior Radio Frequency Engineer with Verizon Wireless) and incorporated in the project file, determined that the emissions from the existing and proposed antennas would not exceed the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) general exposure limits at ground level in any uncontrolled areas. • Including all collocation facilities on the tower and at 1,000 feet from the base of the tower, the resulting power density of 1.419500 µW/cm2 represent 0.24% of the FCC's uncontrolled limits. • The proposed operation of the site would be in compliance with the FCC requirements for public exposure to RF radiation. ("nnditinnc The project has been conditioned to meet the requirements of Section 24-262, including: • Radio-frequency emissions in excess of FCC standards are not allowed. • Facilities that are not in continual use for a period of six (6) months shall be considered abandoned and must be removed. • Written verification submitted annually attesting that the radio frequency radiation/electromagnetic frequency (RF/EMF) emitted by the facility conforms to safety standards set forth in FCC Office of Engineering & Technology Bulletin 65 (Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, August 1997). • Submittal of a bond or cash deposit to cover the cost of a radio-frequency study and removal of the proposed facilities. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 4 of 14 ■ • Engineering analysis to ensure that the proposed communications tower would be able to support the proposed antennas. • The project application materials were circulated to Butte County Counsel, Environmental Health, Building, Public Works/Land Development, Assessor's Office, Agricultural Commissioner, LAFCo and the California Department of Forestry. No concerns or conditions were noted. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An Initial Study, for which no significant environmental impacts were identified, was prepared for this project and made available for public review at the Planning Division and on-line at the Butte County web site for the 20 -day period between February 4, 2008 and February 25, 2008. A Notice of Intent for the negative declaration was published in the Chico Enterprise Record and Oroville Mercury Register on February 4, 2008, and notices that the initial study/negative declaration was available for review were sent to 11 owners of properties adjacent to the project parcel on January 31, 2008. No negative comments were received from the public. The initial study/negative declaration was sent to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse, for a 30 -day review period (SCH # 2008022004). The review period began on February 1, 2008 and ends on March 3, 2008. Staff has requested that the item be continued until March 13, 2008 in order to accommodate the State Clearinghouse 30 -day review period. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 5 of 14 ■ ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless WP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 6 of 14 ■ RESOLUTION - A RESOLUTION OF THE BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING MINOR USE PERMIT 07-0002 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered Minor Use Permit 07-0002 for Verizon Wireless, in accordance with Chapter 24, Section 41; Minor Use Permits, of the Butte County Code on Assessor's Parcel Number 038-250-025; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered an Initial Study and Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act; and WHEREAS, said Minor Use Permit was referred to various affected public and private agencies, County departments, and referral agencies for review and comments; and WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held on February 28, 2008 and continued to March 13, 2008; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered public comments and a report from the Planning Division. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission: I. Adopts a Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Said study identified no significant environmental effects. B. The Planning Commission has considered the Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the review process. C. On the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, there is no substantial evidence that the Minor Use Permit for Verizon Wireless, Planning Division File No. MUP07-0002, would have a significant effect on the environment. D. The Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the County, which is the Lead Agency. E. The custodian of the record is the Department of Development Services. The location of the record is 7 County Center Drive, Oroville CA 95965. II. Finds that the collection of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 is required, prior to filing a Notice of Determination for the project, unless the project proponent provides verification from the California Department of Fish and Game that the project is exempt from the fee requirement. If a required fee is not paid for a project, the project will not be operative, vested or final and any local permits issued for the project will be invalid (Section 711.4 (c) (3)). ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 7 of 14 ■ III. Makes the following Minor Use Permit findings: A. The proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are in accordance with the purpose of this Ordinance, the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, the Butte County General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the County because: i. Conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 24-262 (Wireless Communication Facilities). The project is in accord with the purposes of the A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) and the Butte County General Plan designation of Orchard and Field Crops. The A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) allows collocations with approval of a Minor Use Permit when the tower facility has not been previously subjected to a discretionary permit process within which there was full CEQA compliance. The Orchard and Field Crops land use designation allows public utilities as Secondary Uses. ii. Collocation of antennas on a previously approved tower decreases the need for communication towers elsewhere to provide service. Reducing the number of communication towers needed to provide necessary service is a benefit to the County. B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use would be compatible with, and would not adversely affect, or be detrimental to adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration given to: 1. Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density: The proposed antennas would not increase the height of the existing communications tower or extend horizontally beyond the other existing antennas. 2. The availability of public facilities, services and utilities: Electrical power service is already established at the property and no additional services or utilities would be required with this project. A water source and a sewage disposal system are not required because the facility will be unmanned. 3. The harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character: The radio-frequency emissions from the proposed antennas would meet FCC standards for public exposure. The proposed antennas would not result in a significant visual impact to the neighborhood in that the new antennas and mounting hardware are relatively small and would be painted to match the existing color of the communications tower. The proposed antennas would not generate any noise. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless WP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 8 of 14 ■ 4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets: Only a negligible amount of vehicle traffic would occur during installation of the antennas and equipment cabinets. The communications facility would be unmanned and only one site visit per month would be required by maintenance personnel after installation. Nelson Road would provide access for the project site and would not be impacted by this insignificant amount of vehicular traffic. 5. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed: The site is ideally suited for the project because the proposed antennas would be mounted on a previously approved communications tower that would provide wireless service to the central valley area of the County. 6. Any other relevant impact of the proposed use: The Planning Division has circulated the proposed collocation application to County Agencies and has received no evidence that the use would cause any other relevant impact. C. Based on the above findings, the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. D. The radio-frequency emissions generated by the antennas on the communications tower would be below the public exposure limits set by the FCC for wireless communication facilities. E. The proposed antennas would not create any impacts to aircraft operations because they will not increase the height of the previously approved communications tower nor extend horizontally beyond the other proposed antennas. F. Wireless telephone services are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission and are considered to be a public use consistent with the A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) and the AR General Plan land use designation. III. Approves Minor Use Permit 07-0002 for Verizon Wireless, subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A" A. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Butte County Code Chapter 24, Section 262. Conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 24- 262 (Wireless Communication Facilities). The project is in accord with the purposes of the A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) and the Butte County General Plan designation of Orchard and Field Crops. Where the proposed ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ February 28, 2008 ■ Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 Agenda Report ■ Page 9 of 14 ■ 0 • collocation tower facility was not subject to discretionary review with full CEQA compliance, the A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) allows collocations with approval of a Minor Use Permit. The Orchard and Field Crops land use designation allows public utilities as Secondary Uses.

Staff Contact: Chris Tolley, Associate Planner (530) 538-7603, ctolley@buttecounty.net C. Project Name: Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 D. Proiect Location: 2003 Nelson Road, Oroville (west of the Community of Nelson, at the intersection of Nelson Road and the Western Canal). E. Type of Application: Minor Use Permit for collocation of wireless facility F. Assessor's Parcel Number: APN 038-250-025 G. Proiect Site Size: Parcel size is approximately 7 acres; collocation is proposed for a self -supported 194.2 foot tower (197.8 foot overall height) occupying an approximately 0.05 acre lease area. H. Current Zoning: A-40 (Agricultural, forty acre minimum) I. General Plan Designation: OFC (Orchard and Field Crops) J. Environmental Setting: The 7 acre, triangular-shaped project site is within the unincorporated area of Butte County. The site is located in the central valley area of the County. The land west of the community of Nelson is primarily composed of agricultural uses, and is relatively flat. The southwestern portion of the site is adjacent to the Western Canal, which is operated by the Western Canal Water District (WCWD). The WCWD operates an office located on the project parcel, approximately 130 feet from the lease area. The canal is used to for agricultural irrigation purposes. Butte Creek is located approximately three miles west of the project site. The existing self -supported 194.2 foot tower (197.8 foot overall height) was constructed between 1989 and 1991. The tower and ground equipment sit within an approximately 0.05 acre lease area, which is entirely enclosed by a six foot tall chain link fence. Access to the lease area is gained by a gate located on the west side. The wireless providers collocated on the tower include Verizon and T -Mobile. The tower collocation facilities are located the following heights (reported in feet): 194.2, 181.8, 168.6, 152.7, 139.1, 132.3, 92.8, 70.4, 40.9 and 25.3. The site is located within the AE Flood Zone (100 -year flood zone, base flood elevations determined), as show on the FIRM map 06007CO745 C (effective June 8, 1998). The site is not located within airport land use compatibility zone. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 ■ Page 1 of 28 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Verizon Wireless, File # MUP07-0002 K.

Proiect Description: Verizon Wireless is requesting approval to collocate on an existing self -supported 194.2 foot tower (197.8 foot overall height) owned by American Tower Corporation. The project consists of: 1. Mounting three wireless antenna sectors with a maximum of four panel antennas per sector (two proposed to be installed on each sector following the approval of the Minor Use Permit, and two to be installed at a future date). 2. Removal of three omni antennas and relocation of two omni antennas to the three proposed antenna sectors. 3. Installing wiring to connect the collocation facilities to the equipment cabinets. The Verizon antennas will be centered at the 108 foot level. Verizon currently operates at the facility, and will not be constructing new ground equipment inside the existing fenced area (no additional fencing is required). No excavation or grading will occur, as a result of the proposed project. Minimal traffic will be generated during the estimated one month construction phase while a crew travels to and from the site. The applicant stated that the crew will range in size from two to ten individuals. In its operational phase, the Verizon project will be unmanned and will not require water, waste treatment or management of hazardous waste. There will be approximately one visit per month by a radio technician for routine maintenance. The site will be in operation twenty four (24) hours a day, seven days a week. The structural analysis (performed on April 5, 2007) identifies that the existing and proposed collocation facilities account for a maximum of 76% of tower build -out in the specific section of the tower. A representative from American Tower Corporation (ATC) noted that this is a fairly light load. Lattice towers may accommodate a wide variety of collocations at varying locations, including microwave dishes and cellular antennas. As reported by the representative, cellular providers typically collocate in the same area on the tower (as the structural load will allow). This is due to topography of the locale and how the wireless technology functions in that environment. Future collocation facilities may utilize the remaining 24% of the section build -out; however, as technology may allow yet smaller antennas, it isnot possible to predict the quantity or location of future collocations. Furthermore, the tower may be modified structurally, so that further collocations are possible. Any future collocation would be required to meet structural requirements of the California Building Code, as well as section 24-262 (Wireless communications) of the Butte County Code. This request for a Use Permit to allow the collocation of a wireless communications facility is in accordance with Butte County Code Section 24-262(k), which requires certification of an environmental impact report or adoption of a negative or mitigated negative declaration for collocations proposed on towers that have not been subject to previous discretionary and environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act.

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, `Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) "Reviewed Under Previous Document." Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 ■ Page 4 of 28 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for Verizon Wireless, File # MUP07-0002 document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 4.1 AESTHETIC/VISUAL RESOURCES: The 7 acre, triangular-shaped project site is within the unincorporated area of Butte County. The site is located in the central valley area of the County. The land west of the community of Nelson is primarily composed of agricultural uses, and is relatively flat. The southwestern portion of the site is adjacent to the Western Canal, which is operated by the Western Canal Water District (WCWD). The WCWD operates an office located on the project parcel, approximately 130 feet from the lease area. The canal is used to for agricultural irrigation purposes. Butte Creek is located approximately three miles west of the project site. Butte County has not defined significant aesthetic/visual resources within the County; however, the sensitivity of a view and the visual dominance of a project may be used to evaluate impacts to visual resources. The sensitivity of a view is characterized by the visual qualities of both nearby and distant landscapes (e.g., their form, texture, color, massing, and definition) and how development might obscure, contrast with or otherwise affect those visual qualities. In this context, significant visual resources are those viewable from a publicly accessible vantage point (e.g., a road, park, public building) and would include long-distance and/or commanding views of the surrounding countryside, proximate and distinctive landscape features such as streams, trees, rock outcroppings and historic buildings, and the massing of such views and features. Impacts to significant visual resources could result when, for example, development displaces or obscures or intrudes upon such publicly accessible views in a manner that degrades a particular or overall scenic experience from a publicly accessible vantage point. The proposed project is to collocate at the 108 foot level on an existing self -supported 194.2 foot (197.8 foot overall height) wireless communications tower. The project consists of.

Verizon currently operates at the facility, and will not be constructing new ground equipment inside the existing fenced area (no additional fencing is required). No excavation or grading will occur, as a result of the proposed project. The proposed antennas will almost be imperceptible to passing motorists, considering that collocation facilities currently exist at the 108 foot level, as noted above. The project will have a less than significant impact upon the current vista from Nelson Road or any other vantage point beyond the project parcel. The project site is not within a state scenic highway and the project, limited to the addition of relatively small antennas, will not obscure or otherwise damage any scenic resource in the surrounding landscape. The proposed collocation is too small relative to the existing tower and facility to substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings as viewed from Nelson Road or adjacent properties. No night lighting is proposed for the antennas, and no new ground equipment is proposed to be installed. Mitigation Measure: none required 4.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In June 2007 the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) of the California Resources Agency issued the Important Farmlands Map for Butte County identifying Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Grazing land. This map also identifies approximately 42% of the land in the County as either: Agricultural Land Not Yet Classified, Urban and Built-up Land, Other Land, and Water. This map is based on a soil survey completed in 2006 and 2004 farmlands mapping data. The above referenced map indicates the subject property as "Prime Farmland". This designation is described as: Land which has the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for the production of crops. It has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields of crops when treated and managed, including water management, according to current farming methods. Prime Farmland must have been used for the production of irrigated crops at some time during the two update cycles prior to the mapping date. The Butte County General Plan has identified the soils in the project area as Class 3: moderately good cultivatable land. The proposed project is to collocate at the 108 foot level on an existing self -supported 194.2 foot (197.8 foot overall height) wireless communications tower.

The A-40 zoning of the project site permits general agricultural uses. The General Plan land use designation of Orchard and Field Crops (OFC) lists agricultural uses as Primary Uses. All of the surrounding parcels are designated as OFC. General agricultural uses are not present on the site. The project is not subject to the provisions of Section 24-286 (agricultural buffer setback) of the Butte County Code, because no residential land uses are proposed. No significant impact is anticipated to agricultural resources as a result of this project. Agricultural uses on the surrounding/nearby parcels consist of rice crops. Aerial spraying operations likely occur in the vicinity of the project site; however, the project does not propose to change the height the existing tower or host a regular workforce. Given its very limited construction and operational footprint, the proposed project would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. It would not have an impact upon any area parcels under a Williamson Act contract, and would not cause in changes to the environment that could result in conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural use. Mitigation Measure: none required 4.3 AIR QUALITY: Both the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency have established air pollution standards in an effort to protect human health and welfare. Geographic areas are designated "attainment" if these standards are met and "nonattainment" if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PMto). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. The 7 acre, triangular-shaped project site is within the unincorporated area of Butte County. The site is located in the central valley area of the County.

The project is not expected to create any significant amounts of fugitive dust, oxides of nitrogen, or reactive organic gases emissions. No emergency power generators are proposed to be located on the project site. The project is not expected to generate any significant amounts of fugitive dust because the only soil disturbance would be some very minor excavation for the concrete slabs that the equipment cabinets would sit on within the existing lease area. Due to its limited construction and operational scope, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Minor amounts of emissions would be generated by construction equipment during site development activities, but this would be insignificant because of the limited amount of construction equipment and time needed to install the extension, antennas, and equipment cabinets. The limited scope of the project's construction and operational phases will have no impact upon any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. Aside from a minor amount of construction activity, there will at most temporary offensive odors, and such odors would disperse well before reaching the nearest residences located 650 feet to the southwest and in the community of Nelson, approximately 0.75 mile east of the project site.

The first three are types of plants that are typically found in grasslands and marshes or swamp. None of the specific habitat type is found on the project site. The Giant garter snakes feed primarily on small fishes, tadpoles and frogs. 'Habitat requirements consist of adequate water to provide food and cover, wetland vegetation, grassy banks and openings in waterside vegetations for basking (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; Species Account: Giant Garter Snake; updated October 9, 2007). None of the specific habitat types needed to support these species are located on the project site. There will be no impact to any species because of the limited scope of the project, as noted above in the project description and the lack of suitable habitat to support a plant or animal species. The existing cleared, graded, and graveled lease area, where the proposed equipment cabinets would be located, contains no wetlands, vernal pools, drainages oak trees or other significant biological resources. The project site is located on the fringes of the Sacramento Valley, which is habitat for Swainson's hawk (Buteo swainsoni). The Swainson's hawk is a State -listed Threatened species (California Department of Fish and Game, State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Plants of California, April 2004). The project parcel consists of an office for the WCWD and a wireless communications tower. The project site is not preferred foraging habitat for Swainson's hawks. The CNDDB shows that the nearest known occurrence of Swainson's hawk is located approximately 2.8 miles to the southwest of the project site. The project is not expected to disturb any Swainson's hawk nesting site because of the limited scope of the proposed work, and none are known to be located on the project site or in the immediate project area. Due to its small size within the already developed and fenced lease area, the project will have no substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The equipment cabinets and collocated antennas will have no impact upon the movement of any native resident or migratory fish and wildlife species, established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or the use of native wildlife nursery sites.

The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone but is within an after shock epicenter region (Butte County GIS Epicenter Regions theme). The only known active fault in Butte County is the Cleveland Hill fault zone, located approximately 17.8 miles east of the project site, where activity on August 1, 1975 resulted in the Oroville earthquake. This earthquake had a Richter magnitude of 5.7 and resulted in approximately 2.2 miles of ground rupture along the western flank of Cleveland Hill. In the northwest corner of Butte County near Chico there are a series of short, north-northwest trending faults similar to the Cleveland Hill fault. These faults appear to be an extension of the Bear Mountain Fault or Foothills Shear Zone. Minor seismic activity has occurred in the area of these short faults; however, other geologic evidence indicates these faults are not active (Butte County General Plan 1977). Like most of central California, the site can be expected to be subjected to seismic ground shaking at some future time. Accordingly, all buildings and other improvements would be designed and installed in accordance with International Building Code requirements. Because the project appears to be located such that the probability of significant groundshaking is low (Butte County GIS Epicenter Regions theme), because the project does not propose the addition of significant structures that would be at risk to seismic activity, and because any structures that are built during the course of the project would be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code standards for the appropriate Seismic Hazard Zone, potential geologic impacts would be less than significant. Butte County GIS data (CA Division of Mines and Geology 1995) shows the project site to be in an area with a generally moderate potential for liquefaction, a low to no potential for land sliding, and no potential for erosion. Soil expansiveness is high. As noted above, the project site and lease area are relatively flat. The proposed project is to collocate at the 108 foot level on an existing self -supported 194.2 foot (197.8 foot overall height) wireless communications tower. The project consists of: (1) mounting three wireless antenna sectors with a maximum of four panel antennas per sector (two proposed to be installed on each sector following the approval of the Minor Use Permit, and two to be installed at a future date); (2) removal of three omni antennas and relocation of two omni antennas to the three proposed antenna sectors; (3) installing wiring to connect the collocation facilities to the equipment cabinets. Verizon currently operates at the facility, and will not be constructing new ground equipment inside the existing fenced area (no additional fencing is required). No excavation or grading will occur, as a result of the proposed project. The project site is not within or near an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and will not be subject to strong seismic ground shaking, seismic -related liquefaction or landsliding. The proposed project does not involve the use of a septic system.

Minimal traffic will be generated during the estimated one month construction phase while a crew travels to and from the site. The applicant stated that the crew will range in size from two to ten individuals. In its operational phase, the Verizon project will be unmanned and will not require water, waste treatment or management of hazardous waste. There will be approximately one visit per month by a radio technician for routine maintenance. The site will be in operation twenty four (24) hours a day, seven days a week. The project would not induce increases in traffic. The project would have no effect upon air traffic patterns. The project applicant anticipates one maintenance trip per month to the facility. Although traffic on Nelson Road may pass by the project site at speeds of 55 miles per hour, there is adequate site distance to allow safe merging from the access road onto Nelson Road. The project would not affect emergency access to or from the site and is not related to parking. The Public Works Department has no road or access -related conditions for this project. Butte County has no alternative transportation plans or policies and, regardless, the project would not create demand for such forms of transportation.

Project Description: Verizon Wireless is requesting approval to collocate on an existing self -supported 194.2 foot tower (197.8 foot overall height) owned by American Tower Corporation. The project consists of: 1. Mounting three wireless antenna sectors with a maximum of four panel antennas per sector (two proposed to be installed on each sector following the approval of the Minor Use Permit, and two to be installed at a future date). 2. Removal of three omni antennas and relocation of two omni antennas to the three proposed antenna sectors. 3. Installing wiring to connect the collocation facilities to the equipment cabinets. The Verizon antennas will be centered at the 108 foot level. Verizon currently operates at the facility, and will not be constructing new ground equipment inside the existing fenced area (no additional fencing is required). No excavation or grading will occur, as a result of the proposed proj ect. Minimal traffic will be generated during the estimated one month construction phase while a crew travels to and from the site. The applicant stated that the crew will range in size from two to ten individuals. In its operational phase, the Verizon project will be unmanned and will not require water, waste treatment or management of hazardous waste. There will be approximately one visit per month by a radio technician for routine maintenance. The site will be in operation twenty four (24) hours a day, seven days a week. The structural analysis (performed on April 5, 2007) identifies that the existing and proposed collocation facilities account for a maximum of 76% of tower build -out in the specific section of the tower. A representative from American Tower Corporation (ATC) noted that this is a fairly light load. Lattice towers may accommodate a wide variety of collocations at varying locations, including microwave dishes and cellular antennas. As reported by the representative, cellular providers typically collocate in the same area on the tower (as the structural load will allow). This is due to topography of the locale and how the wireless technology functions in that environment. Future collocation facilities may utilize the remaining 24% of the section build -out; however, as technology may allow yet smaller antennas, it is not possible to predict the quantity or location of future collocations. Furthermore, the tower may be modified structurally, so that further collocations are possible. Any future collocation would be required to meet structural requirements of the California Building Code, as well as section 24-262 (Wireless communications) of the Butte County Code. This request for a Use Permit to allow the collocation of a wireless communications facility is in accordance with Butte County Code Section 24-262(k), which requires certification of an environmental impact report or adoption of a negative or mitigated negative declaration for collocations proposed on towers that have not been subject to previous discretionary and environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act.

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact' answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact' answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact' answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards, (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project -specific screening analysis.) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact' entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact' to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, `Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) "Reviewed Under Previous Document." Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used: Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. C) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 ■ Page 4 of 28 ■ Project Name: Use Permit for VerAireless, File # MUP07-0002 • document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 4.1 AESTHETIC/VISUAL RESOURCES: The 7 acre, triangular-shaped project site is within the unincorporated area of Butte County. The site is located in the central valley area of the County. The land west of the community of Nelson is primarily composed of agricultural uses, and is relatively flat. The southwestern portion of the site is adjacent to the Western Canal, which is operated by the Western Canal Water District (WCWD). The WCWD operates an office located on the project parcel, approximately 130 feet from the lease area. The canal is used to for agricultural irrigation purposes. Butte Creek is located approximately three miles west of the project site. Butte County has not defined significant aesthetic/visual resources within the County; however,.the sensitivity of a view and the visual dominance of a project may be used to evaluate impacts to visual resources. The sensitivity of a view is characterized by the visual qualities of both nearby and distant landscapes (e.g., their form, texture, color, massing, and definition) and how development might obscure, contrast with or otherwise affect those visual qualities. In this context, significant visual resources are those viewable from a publicly accessible vantage point (e.g., a road, park, public building) and would include long-distance and/or commanding views of the surrounding countryside, proximate and distinctive landscape features such as streams, trees, rock outcroppings and historic buildings, and the massing of such views and features. Impacts to significant visual resources could result when, for example, development displaces or obscures or intrudes upon such publicly accessible views in a manner that degrades a particular or overall scenic experience from a publicly accessible vantage point. The proposed project is to collocate at the 108 foot level on an existing self -supported 194.2 foot (197.8 foot overall height) wireless communications tower. The project consists of. (1) mounting three wireless antenna sectors with a maximum of four panel antennas per sector (two proposed to be installed on each sector following the approval of the Minor Use Permit, and two to be installed at a future date); (2) removal of three omni antennas and relocation of two ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Verizon Wireless MUP07-0002 ■ Page 5 of 28 ■ Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

Verizon currently operates at the facility, and will not be constructing new ground equipment inside the existing fenced area (no additional fencing is required). No excavation or grading will occur, as a result of the proposed project. The proposed antennas will almost be imperceptible to passing motorists, considering that collocation facilities currently exist at the 108 foot level, as noted above. The project will have a less than significant impact upon the current vista from Nelson Road or any other vantage point beyond the project parcel. The project site is not within a state scenic highway and the project, limited to the addition of relatively small antennas, will not obscure or otherwise damage any scenic resource in the surrounding landscape. The proposed collocation is too small relative to the existing tower and facility to substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings as viewed from Nelson Road or adjacent properties. No night lighting is proposed for the antennas, and no new ground equipment is proposed to be installed. Mitigation Measure: none required 4.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In June 2007 the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) of the California Resources Agency issued the Important Farmlands Map for Butte County identifying Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Grazing land. This map also identifies approximately 42% of the land in the County as either: Agricultural Land Not Yet Classified, Urban and Built-up Land, Other Land, and Water. This map is based on a soil survey completed in 2006 and 2004 farmlands mapping data. The above referenced map indicates the subject property as "Prime Farmland". This designation is described as: Land which has the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for the production of crops. It has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields of crops when treated and managed, including water management, according to current farming methods. Prime Farmland must have been used for the production of irrigated crops at some time during the two update cycles prior to the mapping date. The Butte County General Plan has identified the soils in the project area as Class 3: moderately good cultivatable land.

The A-40 zoning of the project site permits general agricultural uses. The General Plan land use designation of Orchard and Field Crops (OFC) lists agricultural uses as Primary Uses. All of the surrounding parcels are designated as OFC. General agricultural uses are not present on the site. The project is not subject to the provisions of Section 24-286 (agricultural buffer setback) of the Butte County Code, because no residential land uses are proposed. No significant impact is anticipated to agricultural resources as a result of this project. Agricultural uses on the surrounding/nearby. parcels consist of rice crops. Aerial spraying operations likely occur in the vicinity of the project site; however, the project does not propose to change the height the existing tower or host a regular workforce. Given its very limited construction and operational footprint, the proposed project would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. It would not have an impact upon any area parcels under a Williamson Act contract, and would not cause in changes to the environment that could result in conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural use. Mitigation Measure: none required 4.3 AIR QUALITY: Both the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency have established air pollution standards in an effort to protect human health and welfare. Geographic areas are designated "attainment' if these standards are met and "nonattainment" if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. The 7 acre, triangular-shaped project site is within the unincorporated area of Butte County.

The project is not expected to create any significant amounts of fugitive dust, oxides of nitrogen, or reactive organic gases emissions. No emergency power generators are proposed to be located on the project site. The project is not expected to generate any significant amounts of fugitive dust because the only soil disturbance would be some very minor excavation for the concrete slabs that the equipment cabinets would sit on within the existing lease area. Due to its limited construction and operational scope, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Minor amounts of emissions would be generated by construction equipment during site development activities, but this would be insignificant because of the limited amount of construction equipment and time needed to install the extension, antennas, and equipment cabinets. The limited scope of the project's construction and operational phases will have no impact upon any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. Aside from a minor amount of construction activity, there will at most temporary offensive odors, and such odors would disperse well before reaching the nearest residences located 650 feet to the southwest and in the community of Nelson, approximately 0.75 mile east of the project site.

The first three are types of plants that are typically found in grasslands and marshes or swamp. None of the specific habitat type is found on the project site. The Giant garter snakes feed primarily on small fishes, tadpoles and frogs. Habitat requirements consist of adequate water to provide food and cover, wetland vegetation, grassy banks and openings in waterside vegetations for basking (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; Species Account: Giant Garter Snake; updated October 9, 2007). None of the specific habitat types needed to support these species are located on the project site. There will be no impact to any species because of the limited scope of the project, as noted above in the project description and the lack of suitable habitat to support a plant or animal species. The existing cleared, graded, and graveled lease area, where the proposed equipment cabinets would be located, contains no wetlands, vernal pools, drainages oak trees or other significant biological resources. The project site is located on the fringes of the Sacramento Valley, which is habitat for Swainson's hawk (Buteo swainsoni). The Swainson's hawk is a State -listed Threatened species (California Department of Fish and Game, State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Plants of California, April 2004). The project parcel consists of an office for the WCWD and a wireless communications tower. The project site is not preferred foraging habitat for Swainson's hawks. The CNDDB shows that the nearest known occurrence of Swainson's hawk is located approximately 2.8 miles to the southwest of the project site. The project is not expected to disturb any Swainson's hawk nesting site because of the limited scope of the proposed work, and none are known to be located on the project site or in the immediate project area. Due to its small size within the already developed and fenced lease area, the project will have no substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish. and Wildlife Service. The equipment cabinets and collocated antennas will have no impact upon the movement of any native resident or migratory fish and wildlife species, established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or the use of native wildlife nursery sites.

The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone but is within an after shock epicenter region (Butte County GIS Epicenter Regions theme). The only known active fault in Butte County is the Cleveland Hill fault zone, located approximately 17.8 miles east of the project site, where activity on August 1, 1975 resulted in the Oroville earthquake. This earthquake had a Richter magnitude of 5.7 and resulted in approximately 2.2 miles of ground rupture along the western flank of Cleveland Hill. In the northwest corner of Butte County near Chico there are a series of short, north-northwest trending faults similar to the Cleveland Hill fault. These faults appear to be an extension of the Bear Mountain Fault or Foothills Shear Zone. Minor seismic activity has occurred in the area of these short faults; however, other geologic evidence indicates these faults are not active (Butte County General Plan 1977). Like most of central California, the site can be expected to be subjected to seismic ground shaking at some future time. Accordingly, all buildings and other improvements would be designed and installed in accordance with International Building Code requirements. Because the project appears to be located such that the probability of significant groundshaking is low (Butte County GIS Epicenter Regions theme), because the project does not propose the addition of significant structures that would be at risk to seismic activity, and because any structures that are built during the course of the project would be designed and installed in accordance with Uniform Building Code standards for the appropriate Seismic Hazard Zone, potential geologic impacts would be less than significant. Butte County GIS data (CA Division of Mines and Geology 1995) shows the project site to be in an area with a generally moderate potential for liquefaction, a low to no potential for land sliding, and no potential for erosion. Soil expansiveness is high. As noted above, the project site and lease area are relatively flat. The proposed project is to collocate at the 108 foot level on an existing self -supported 194.2 foot (197.8 foot overall height) wireless communications tower. The project consists of: (1) mounting three wireless antenna sectors with a maximum of four panel antennas per sector (two proposed to be installed on each sector following the approval of the Minor Use Permit, and two to be installed at a future date); (2) removal of three omni antennas and relocation of two omni antennas to the three proposed antenna sectors; (3) installing wiring to connect the collocation facilities to the equipment cabinets. Verizon currently operates at the facility, and will not be constructing new ground equipment inside the existing fenced area (no additional fencing is required). No excavation or grading will occur, as a result of the proposed project. The project site is not within or near an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and will not be subject to strong seismic ground shaking, seismic -related liquefaction or landsliding. The proposed project does not involve the use of a septic system.

Minimal traffic will be generated during the estimated one month construction phase while a crew travels to and from the site. The applicant stated that the crew will range in size from two to ten individuals. In its operational phase, the Verizon project will be unmanned and will not require water, waste treatment or management of hazardous waste. There will be approximately one visit per month by a radio technician for routine maintenance. The site will be in operation twenty four (24) hours a day, seven days a week. The project would not induce increases in traffic. The project would have no effect upon air traffic patterns. The project applicant anticipates one maintenance trip per month to the facility. Although traffic on Nelson Road may pass by the project site at speeds of 55 miles per hour, there is adequate site distance to allow safe merging from the access road onto Nelson Road. The project would not affect emergency access to or from the site and is not related to parking. The Public Works Department has no road or access -related conditions for this project. Butte County has no alternative transportation plans or policies and, regardless, the project would not create demand for such forms of transportation.

Finds that this project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15311. Section 15311 consists of O construction of minor structures accessory (appurtenant) to existing facilities. Antennas placed on an existing communications lattice tower are considered to be Q accessory structures. A. Because the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA, the payment of fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and 14 CCR 753.5 is not required. B. The custodian of the record is the Department of Development Services. The location of the record is 7 County Center Drive, Oroville CA 95965.+ p, II. Makes the following Minor Use Permit findings: A. The proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are in accordance with the purpose of this Ordinance, the purpose of the zone in which the site is located, the Butte County General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the County because: Conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Zoning Code Section 24-262 (Wireless Communication Facilities). The project is in accordance with the purpose of the C-2 Zone and the Butte County General Plan land use designation Commercial, in which the land lies. The Commercial land use designation allows public utilities as Secondary Uses. The C-2 zone allows collocations with approval of a Minor Use Permit. B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use would be compatible with, and would not adversely affect, or be detrimental E LJ to adjacent uses, residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources, with consideration given to: 1. Harmony in scale, bulk, coverage, and density: The proposed antennas would not increase the height of the existing communications lattice tower or extend horizontally beyond the existing vertical plane. 2. The availability of public facilities, services and utilities: Electrical power service is already established to the property and no additional services or utilities are required. A water source and a sewage disposal system are not required. 3. The harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character: The project site is already developed with a 82- oot tall communications lattice tower and accessory ground mounted equipment cabinets and shelters. The radio frequency emissions from the existing and proposed antennas would meet FCC standards for public exposure. The proposed antennas would not result in a significant visual impact to the neighborhood in that the new antennas and mounting hardware would be painted to match the color of the existing color scheme. The proposed antennas would not generate any noise. The proposed antennas to be mounted on the existing lattice tower would not pose a harmful effect upon the neighborhood character. Only a minor amount of vehicle traffic would be generated during installation of the antennas and equipment cabinet. The communications facility would be unmanned and only one to two site visits per month would be required after installation of the antennas and equipment cabinet. The proposed antennas and the equipment cabinet would not generate any significant noise levels. 4. The generation of traffic and the capacity and physical character of surrounding streets: The project would result in approximately one to two site visits per month by maintenance personnel. The Esplanade, which would provide access for the project site, would not be impacted by this increase in vehicular traffic. 5. The suitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed: The site is ideally suited for the project because the proposed antennas would be mounted on an existing communications lattice tower. 6. Any other relevant impact of the proposed use: The Planning Division has circulated the proposed communication facility application to County Agencies and has received no evidence that the use would cause any other relevant impact. C. Based on the above findings, the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it H • •. would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. D. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Butte County Code Chapter 24, Section 262. E. This project would place antennas on an existing communications lattice tower, which eliminates the need for a new communications tower/monopole to be erected elsewhere in the project area. F. The radio-frequency emissions generated by the antennas on the communications lattice tower would be below the public exposure limits set by the Federal Communications Commission for wireless communication facilities. G. The proposed antennas would not create any impacts to aircraft operations because they will not increase the height of the existing communications lattice tower nor extend horizontally beyond the existing antennas. H. Wireless telephone services are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission and are considered to be a public use. III. Approves Minor Use Permit 06-09 for Omnipoint Communications, subject to the conditions as set forth in the attachment Exhibit A to the resolution.
