HomeMy WebLinkAbout81-210A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE
COUNTY OF BUTTE ADOPTING AND CERTIFYING THE FINAL
EVIRONhtENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE REVISED PARADISE
AREA LAND USE PLAN (PARADISE UPPER RIDGE).
WHEREAS, The Board of Supervisors has considered the contents
of the Environmental Impact Report pxepared for the Paradise Area Land
Use PZan, attached hereto as Exhibit B, including the significant impacts,
mitxgatzan measuxes, alternatives, comments and recommendations from the
public, and written responses to sxgnx~icant environmental points raised
by comments described in this document, pursuant to the California
Bnvironmental Quality Act; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVE~ that, having reviewed and con-
sidered the fznal EIR on Paxadise Upper Ridge, the Butte County Board of
Supervisors make the following findings:
1. Development which is anticipated to occur within the
project area in comp~iance with growth policies and density limitations
may have a signifzcant effect on the environment in the areas of water
quality, rare and endangered plants, archaeoZogy, erosion and sedimentation,
tra£fic, ambient noise levels, school enrollments, loss of vegetation
and woodland, geologic hazards, fire protection, loss of wildlite habitat
and aesthe~ics. Many, but not ali, of the above listed impacts can be
mztigated o~ a project-by-project basis, or in connection with community
improvement projects which may be undertaken in the future with publzc or
private funding. The ~ikelihood of such mitigation is too speculative for
evaluation at this time; and
2. Alternative 7.4 and 7.b in the EIR have been in~oxporated
into the final project proposal. Parcels in the vicinzty of Jordan Hill
Road have been redesignated Timber Mountain, and areas pxoposed for
Agricultural-Residential, identified as part of Lassen National Forest,
are actually located outside the boundaries of that public preserve. The
"No Project" alternatzve which would leave inconsistent zones and con-
flictzng land use cate~or~es intact, would substantially in~rease the
severity of environmental impacts in the project area, and is, therefore,
rejected. Adoption of zanes that wouid preserve large amounts of open
space under Agricultural-Residential land use designations (alternatives
47.2 and 7.5) is a viabie solution to maintaining law density populations
in the project axea and remains a part o~ the project proposal. The
Planned Area Cluster (PA-C) zone is generally not an acceptable spatia~
arrangement to general communfty living patterns, so must be considered
a limited tool for speci~ic projects.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, Although there may be significant
adverse environmental effects resulting from development which would be
allowed pursuant to approval of this prpject, there are overriding con-
sidexations which justify pxoject approval (CEQA Law and Guidelines ~15089),
These overriding considerations include:
1. The Butte County General P1an calls for periodic review
and ~pdate of land use classifications throughout the County. This
project is a part of this ongoing process.
2. The land use designations being adopted represent an
improvement over prasent land use designations in that they were formnlated
with the help of citizen input to more effectively imple.ment the goals
and objectives of the Butte County General Plan.
3. The land use categories being adopted are potentially
less environmentally damaging at full buildout than.~the categories which
previous~y were in effect for the area, while still providing room for
community expansion.
4. The land use patterns under consideration provide areas
for rural homesites on large parcels which will offer area residents the
oppor~unity to offset energy resource demand by becoming partialZy self-
suf~~cient through producing on the premises a portion of their energy
needs.
S. The land use categories being adopted represent a cooperative
ef£oxt reflecting the growth policies of Butte County, the Town o£ Paradise
and purveyors of pub~ic serv~ces, whose spheres of influence encompass
the project site boundaries.
BE"~IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Butte County Board of
Supervisors does hereby adopt~and certify the Environmental ImpaCi Report
for the Paradise Area Land Use Plan (Upper Ridge) puxsuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act.

~.0 GENERAL ~NTRODUGTION
The Butte County Pl~nnYng Commission has proposed a Genexal
~lan Amendment and Rezone for app~oximately 30.4 square miles
(19,500 acres) in the Uppex Ridge area north o~ the Town of
Paradise. Ar~ estimated 900 acres in the ~ime Saddle area,
which were included un~er land use amendments in the original
proposa~, w~re ~ecen~~y adopted. ~roposed rezones are com-
pa~ible wath the adopted land use cafiegories, and are not
studied in ~his document; they generally re£~e~t existing land
uses.
A~though mos~ o~ the Upper Ridge project lies west o~ the West
Branch of the Feathex R~ver, portions overlap the proposed re-
zone for the Concow area east o~ the river.
Proposed land use designat~ons in the General Plan Amendment
include Grazzng and Open Land, Timbex Mountain, Low Densi~y
Residen~ial, Medium Density Residential, Cammerc~al, Public
and Agricultural Resident~al. The proposal would convext A-2,
A-2 Ltd., AR-MH-3, R--I and S-H to TM-1, Thi--2, TM-5, TM-~0,
~R-5, ~R-4~, H-C, C-C, C--2, SR-l, R-C, 1'-Q, RT-1, MHP, AR-NSH-1,
AR-MH-3 and A-40. Descriptions of these land use designatians
and zones are provided in AppEnda.ces 1 and 2.
The following £igures, pro~ections and analyses are premis~d on
the mast intense land uses a~.~.owable under proposed Iand use
categorie~. Although ~roposEd zones would mitiga~e ~he severity
o£ impacts and 1imi~ growth in the area, future rezo~.es ~o a11ow
gxeater commercial activity or highex density residential develop-
ment may eventua~ly flccur. The ~IR therefore p~s~s a"worst"
case condition ~or consideration.

1. ~ sUn~r~~aRY o~ IMl'ACTS
The fal~.awin,g summary identifzes a.mpacts ta the environm~nt
from the pro.posed project that axe can.sic~ered significant
and. adverse.~ Certaa.n a.m~a~ts are considered mit~.gabl.e to
a degree that would reduce thezr potential occu~rence.to' a
1evel of insigna.~a.can.ce. ~fhers are an~y partial.Iy ~ni.~igable,
and woul.d xemain s~gnificant. Significant adverse impacts
~hati are cumulative, unavoa.dable and/or zrrevers~b~e are
also described.. And fa.nally, recommend.ed alternatives tb
the proposed projec~ are reviewed in. this section.
Th~ reader should cons~lt the text for a more detaa.led de-
scription of envixanmen~al impacts. Adverse impac~s are
based upon maximum allowable bu~ldaut under the praposed
land use designations. Mitigata.on measuxes are descxibed
in Sections 4.1 and 4.2.
SIGNI~IGANT ADVERSE IMPACTS THAT ARE A4~TI~ABLE TO A L~VEL
0~ xNSIGNIFIGANCE ~
Water Q~al~.ty
Zmpact 1: An a.ncxease in the concentration of colifor~n
ind.icator would occur in starm runoff that passes thraugh
developed areas, particularly during the dxy mo~ths. Urban
storm runo~~ that reached natural dxainage chan~e~.s would
ulti.mately increase pollution levels in local streams.
~mpact 2: As buildout pxoceeds,
to ~reat and absorb contaminants
systems would approach saturatio:
confam~nants in shallow aquifers
quenfly increasing the amount of
surface streams far~.her down the
th~e ~apac~.ty of the sail
from s~p~kic-Ieach ~ield
n. The concentxation of
would increase, subs~-
pol~utants ~~awing into
ridge.
Impact 2-A: Developmen~ adjacent ta, ox withi.n the watersheds
~echaxging the Magal~.a and Parada.se Reservoirs wo~1d increase
the potential for reducing ~he watex quali~.y in ~hose
reservoirs.
Threats to Rare and/or Endan~ered Plan~s
Impa~.~ 3: Deve~opmen.~ wi~hin ~the project axea cauld threa~en
the cant~nued existence of rare/endan.gered plant populations
(refer to page 58). Most o£ ~he entire praje~~ area is
sensitive and potenti.a~ly suppoxts these two plant species
since suitable habitat ~xi.sts ~.hroughout the area. Severa~.
specific ~oca.la.ties are knawn to be particularly sensi~ive:
a. Nimshew Ridge
b. Butte Creek canyon slapes
c. De 5abla a~'ea (northern pxojec~ envirans above AZagalia)
2
Archaeology
Im act 4: Implementa~ion af the pxoposed project would
t x~i eaten ta d~sturb known ana po~en~ia~ archaeological si~es
in the Up~er Ridge area. His~oric and pxe-historic sites
may be intentionaX~y ox inadvertently dis~urbed, ~hex~by
confo~nding or de5txoy~ng ev~dence at ~he site.
Erosion and Sed~mentation
Impac~ 5: Grading, excavation, so~1 dis~up~ion, and ~CCO~-
panying erosion, as we~~ as potent~al se~imen~a~ifln of
drainage courses and s~reams may be substantial -- especially
on a cumulative basis, if maxzmum pxapased g~n~ral plan
densities are achieved. Within the proposed LDR and AR land
use categories (~o~al 780~ acxes, I5,360 residences), this
~s particu~arly potential.
Although the predominan~ ge~tle ferrain on th~ ridgelands
typica~ly ~xhibits on~y slight erosian hazaxd, max~mum bu~~d-
ou~ will require cans~derable vegetation removal and sail
disturbance for substantial numbexs of driveways and homesites.
An est~mate af this cumula~ive effect ~ram the addztional
+ 13,800 homesi~es ~ndex maximum a~~owable densities is:
}_7000 total acres of 2-acxe ho~esYte develapment (n~w
parcels plus development of exist~ng pareels), Addi~ianally,
t~e 211 acres a£ "Cammercial" de5ignation wi11 requare
consi~erable clearing and grading ~ar development of buildings
and parking areas.
Cansidering the high normal rate a~ raan~all (60-70 inches
annual~y), erosion cou~d become a p~ab~~m an the rzdg~ whe~e
raad cuts are made and large areas are clea~ed. Where texrain
becomes steeper on the ridge (15-20~o slopes}, such as near
drainages and ravines an~ along canyon rimlands, erosion
potentia~ is o~ particular cancern.
~he steep canyo~ slopes are h~ghly suscep~ible ~o severe
erosio~ if the slopes are dist~rbed. However, the proposed
"Timber Mounta~n", "Grazing-Open Lanc~", and "Publi.cT' general
plan C~.t~gbl'~.ES for these steeper areas would provide can-
sidera~le protecfzon. The pxopos~d and exista.ng TM-20,
TM-~-O, TP-I60, and R-C zoning dis~ric~s, if maintai~ed in
such areas, also affords pro~ec~ion. Ad.di~ional roac~ and
homes~te development is exp~cted to be minimal on the canyon
~ands si~ce access capaba.la.ty ~.s vEry restracted.

Specific locat~ons an the General P~an amendment warrant
part~cular concern regarding patential erosion (bas~~ on
maxzmum allowable Gen~ra~ ~~an densitaes). .
SIGN~FIGANT ADVERSE IMPACTS THAT HAV~ NO MITIGAT~ON, OR
O~LY PARTIA~ A~ITIGATIO~S, THAT ARE UNAVOIDABLE
'~raffic
Impact ~: Under an annual average growth rate of four
percent, average hour3y traffic [AHT) volumes on the
Skyway north o~' the intersection w~.th Cou~.olenc Road de-
cline one-half level of service (I,OS) by 1985 from B/C
(Stable F~ow) to D(Appxaaching Unstable Flflw). By the
year 1995, LOS has dro~ped ~a D/E {Appraacha.ng/Unstable
Flaw), whzch is normally an unacceptable ~raffic condition.
Th~ AHT on Skyway north of Ponderosa declines one L45 ~o
B in. 1995, and to C in 2000. AHT an Skyway south of
Ponderasa decreases fram a LDS af A~o B~n I990; B/C in
1995; and D in 2000. The LOS an Ciark at the intersection
with Pearson also steadily drops, from A in I985, ta B/G
a.n 2Q00. .
Impact 2: After maxamum po~ential bu~.ldout, the LOS de-
teriorates to E on Sky'~ray north of th~ an~ersectaan wi~h
Coutolenc, and north and south o~ ~anderasa. On Clark
sauth o~ Skyway LOS drops to D/E, an~ ~o C/D at ~he inter-
sect~on w2th Pearson. The LOS declines ta Sl a~ both check-
poi.nts on the Pentz-Magalia Highway. On1y on 5kyway narth
of Nirr-shew Road does the LOS remain superior at A/B, and
on Cautolenc near the ~n.tersec~ion with Skyway at A.
The abave txa££ic valume estima~es should be considered-
conservative, since many o~ ~.hese roads have sharp curves,
reduca.ng negotiatin.g speeds and s~.ght ~.is~ance. Moreover,
the roads may be narxower in some 5ec'tions than ~he average
used in calcula~ing the LOS s~.andards~in Tab~es IO and 1I..
Average hourly volumes may actually produce a worse LOS
rating than determined above.
Acaustics
The regular intxusion of disruptiv'e noise Ieve~s into ~.iving,
waxk and recreatiional axeas significant~.y d.e~racts fxom the
desirability of ~hat area, and may, i~ certain instances,
demanstrai~~.y contrib~te to ~.he deterioxation of an individual's
health. Moreover, real property values are a~so adversely
a.ffected by the presenCe of excessive, objectionable naise
levels. Finally, wildlife are discouraged ~'xam using a
haba.tat when persisfient high urban noise levels are present.
4
~Tm act 3: The ~xajected increase in traffic volumes, of~-
roTa~ve~ic~e (ORV) use, domestic pet populatian, waad~cutting
and constructian ac~ivities wi1~ resu~t ~~ more frequent
violafions a~ CNEL standards. Primary so~rces af exc~ssive
noise levels axe: roads with modera~e ~o heavy rraf~ic;
ORVs wi~hou~ muff~exs, ar ORVs equipped with inadequa~e
mu~~lexs; barkang dogs; poorly muff~ed chain saws and con-
~ struc~ion equipmenf.
Schools
~T~~m~ ~ac~t 4~: Accarding to enro~lment ~zgures obtained fram
t e adise Unified School Dis~ric~, pub~YC schaa~s ~n
the pxoject a~ea are near or exceed s~udent capaci~y Iev~1s
fox pximary and s~condary grades (see ~ab1e 9). Future
buildou~ -- even af lowex growth xates -- wi~1 only ex-
acerbate this problem.
Loss of Ve~etiation and Waodland
Impact_5: The construction of access roads, driveways,
and numerous zTacre homesites (an estimated 15,900 und~er
maximum developm~nt potential) would result in the removal
or dxsxuption a~ substantial amounts of natural vegetation.
~oss of Wildlife and Habita~
Zmpact 6: Although mos~ axeas of ~he Paxadise Ridge no
longer provide important key wild~ife habitat (exce~t in
the northern project area, as well as on undeveloped
canyon lands), wildl~fe is never~heles$ abundant on the
ridge. Fur~her area developmen~ and gxowth on the Upp~x
Ridge wi11 continue to increase wi~dlife/human popula~ion
conf~icts. Resident w~~d1~~e papu~ations w~ll dec~ine as
a res~1~ af increased urban encraachmen~s, zncreased ~raffic
hazards, increased traffic and area no'ise, dir~ bike
activity, harassment fram pets, and other disturbances.
Some animals wi~l xelo~ate to nearby und~stuxbed habi~at;
others will die as a resu~t of direct canflic~s or lack
of available habitat. Free-roaming dogs (typical of rural
residen~ial areas) will increase wildlife predation and
other dist~rbances as densities increase.
Xmpact 7: Under maximum development, wi~dlife habitat in ~he
DeSabla area and an the Jordan Hill/Whiskey Flat area east
of the Feather River will be severely reduced on those lands
proposed for Agricultural Resident~al land uses (~-acxe
dens~ties al~owable). A letter from th~ Cal~~axnia Department
5
ti- ' ... . ..~
af ~'ish and Game {Appendix 5) underscores this potenfial
i~pact. Maintenanc~ af existing TM-2Q zoning wauld pxotect
this resource. With increased developmen~ in these locali--
ties, migratory c~eer papulations (which ~'avor ra.dgelands
fox migratoxy corridors) wi21 con~~n.~e to deeline. '~he
migratory deer herds whach once frec~~enced the Paradise
Ridge will be d~~l.ected further north away from the project
area. Hawever, the more inaccessabl.e loca~ions (outly~ng
rid.ge~ands an.d canyon ~.ands) wi11 continue to provide good
habi~at.
~mpact 8: Siltatian increas~s~into area creeks and canyan
'streams is not pxobable a.~ ~he proposed protec~.ive land
use designation.$ and zoni.ngs are established and main~.ained
in ~hose areas. However, any sa.].~.ation increases wou~d have
an adve~se impact upon fish popula~ions a.n area watercourses,
a.ncl~zding Lake Oroville, located just outside the project
area, sou~th af the Feathex R~ver.
G~alagic Hazards
The project area lies near the nar~hern exten.saon of ~he
Foathil~.s ~au~.t System. S~udies of ~this ~aul~ system andi-
cate that the maximum credib~.e earthau.ake to b~ expecte~. is
one wa.th a magn.itude of b.5 on the Richter scale.
Zm act 9: ~arthqua~Ce activity and resul~ant gxound.
s a ing will pose a hazard of unknawn magna.tude ta ~uture
resid~n~s and property, particular~.y at the pxoposed maximum
den.sities. Struc~ura~ damage, par~icular~.y to mobile homes,
may occux and is described a.n. the Madif~.ed A'~ercalli Scale.
(A1~hough the Sca1e does not specifa.cally address mobile
IIDIRES, damag~ can be in~erred from descriptian of c~fects
on rnore permanent structures.)
Fire Protec~ion
xm act 1Q: ~'he n.a~ural ~ire hazard in the praject area ~.s
~ated High to Ex~reme. A large nat~ral ~a.re in the area
wou~d ~xceed the capabi.Ii~.ies of 1.oca~ fire suppression
resources. The lim~ted number o£ er~ergency ex~t xautes
fr~m the Upper Ridge poses a serious fhreat ta the popula-
ta.on residing there. .
Impact 11: An increase in residential ~.ensity would a~so
great~y ~ncxease the risk o~ structural fires and number
of ine~ical aid ca11s. Lot c~.earing, debris burning anc~
equipment use wi.l.l. generate more demand for emergency s~rvice
in an area where emergency water xeserves are minima~ or
non--existent.

GUMULATSVE IMPACTS
The following site speci£ac ~mpacts, discussed in ~at~r
sectaons, are also considexed cu~ulative in na~ure. They
include air quality (Sec. 4.3), hydxalagy (Secs. 4.~ and
4.3), acoustics (Secs. 4.1 and 4.3}, cixculat~on (Sec. ~.l),
education (Sec. 4.1}, eras~pn {Sec. 4.1) and vege~atzan/
hab~tat loss (Sec. ~.2}. ~ncreases in demand for pub~zc
services and associated cos~s wau~d cumulatively impac~
the Sher~~f's Department, heal~h caxe provision, uti~i~y
extensians and raad maintenance. Thes~ ~atter cumu~ative
impacts are poten~ia~~y significant, depending.~pon popu-
latian grawth, service standaxds and planned expansion o~
sexvic~s in the praject area.
SIGNIFICANT IRREVERS~BLE ~MPACTS THAT WOULD OCCUR IF THE
PROPOSED PROJEGT IS IMPL~M~NTED
Aes~he~~cs ~
~
The convexsian of n.atural environme~ts tio urban us~s ~s
rarely reversed. A~.thaugh substan.tial Iandscaping may
mitigate this effect to some ex~.ent, th~; substitution of
~ exo~ic plants and trees for r~a~~ve s~ecies zs not considered
equivalen~ replacement. .
Geo~.tigY
Unique geologic ~ormat~.ons, formed over a period. of cen~ur~.es,
may be disturbed, or in same instances destroyed by surround-
a.ng urban developmen~.
Archaeo~ogy ~
Disturbed or destroyed archaeological sites result in the
permanent loss af historic and prehist~r~.c ~.n~ormata.on.
Although known and newly discovered sifes may be protected
for study, other sites may be inadverfently d~s~urbed or
removed.
ALTERNATIVES
'~he Env~xonmental Reva.ew Departr~ent strongly recommends
adop~.ion (incoxpaxatxon) of the folloiving Alternatives to

The propased project designat~:s approximately 150 acxes
(two 80-parcel ~racts} o~ nat~onal fflrest 1a~d in the
northern pa~~ions of the proj~ct si~e as Agricultural-
Residential. A Timber-Moun~ain designation woul.d seem
more appropriate ~ox this acreage that now bel.ongs to
Lassen. Na~ional ~ore$t. ~'~is classificataon, zoned far

mauntain Character of the Uppex R~dge, preserve recre--
at~anal appor~unit~es a~.d-reduce po'~ential advexse impacts
from urban developmen.t.
The A-R designation wou~d only seer~ appropriate if ther~
is a l~.kelihoad that the U. S. Forest Servxce plans to

~ 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
~
2.1 Froject Location. The ~roject sife is composed of an
estimate 18,600 ~cres,~ primarily located north of the'
Tawn o£ Paxadise (see Figures 1 and 2), The si~e area
approxima~es the following bou~daries: (north) Z mi~e ,
north o~ Hupp Coutolenc Road; (east) eastexn ridge o~ the
West Branch of the Feather River Canyon; (sou~h) the Town
of Paradise; (wes~} 4 mile west of Nimshew Ridge Road.
A narrow, contiguous band o~ the project site, ranging
~rom 1,SQ0 ~eet ta 2,800 ~~et in wid~h, ex~ends ~he ~ength
o£ the Paradise Town limi~s along i~s eas~ern boun~ary.
On a USGS 15 Minute. Quadrangle map of Paradise, most a~
the project site exists within Townshzp 23N, Ra~ge 3~,
all or poxtions o~ Sections I,2,3,1~,~~,12,13,~4,15,22,

Sec~ions 2,3,10 ~ 11; Township 2ZN, Range 4E, Sections
6,7,I8 ~ 19.
2.2 Project Ob'ectives. The Butte Caun~y Planning Commission
as proposed a General Plan amendment for the project ar~a
in order to achieve the following objectav~s:
1_) Achieve ~and uses tha~ reflec~ development
pat~erns in the project site; ~
2) Pramote compatib~e ~and uses in a growing
axea o£ ~he Coun~y, while preserving-productiv~
agricultural 1and;
3) Prov~de for orderly developm~nt ~omensura~e
with local natuxal, ~iscal and social resources;
4) Revise the General Plan i~ acca~dance with 5tate
statutes governing ~armu~a~ian and implementation
o£ local general plans;
5) Coordinate revision af the Butte County General
~ Plan with the Town of ~aradise to promote implemen- .
tataon af s~milar land use goals.
* Deletion o~ 9~0+ acxes in ~he Lime Sa~d~e/Kunkle Reservoix
area from the ar~ginal 19,500 acre project. Maxeover, since
the.Tawn of:Paradise is currently revising the ~a~adise General
Plan, incorporated areas are not xncluded for mos~ analyses in
th~s ~ext.

2.3 Technical and Economic Considerafions o~ the Pro~osed Pxa~ect.
The proposed proje~t does not include speci£~c technica2 in-
formation, since propased amendments to the ~utte County
General P1a~ postulate only general constraints for ~and use.
Development plans for specific sit~s, or submiss~an of bu~~d-
~ng designs are not ancluded in the pxoject proposal.
Economic considerat~ons are essentia~ly pxab~~matic at this
time, since the even~ual ~ype and ~nt~nsity of land use is
not prec~sely k~own. Po~en~ial~y, the County ~ay increase
i~s revenue ~as~ ~rom the cammercia~ and xeszdent~~~ develop-
ment of former open~spaces. Converse~y, commerCial and xesi-
dentzal areas re~uire more public sexvices than rural lands,
and th~r~~or~ cause greater Coun~y expenditur~s. Commercial
deve~o~ment may hav~ a multip~ier effec~ on the Iaca~ economy,
though an economac analysis wou~d no~ be poss~ble until the
type o£ commexc~al develop~ent is known.
Residential development in the pro~ec~ area may spux expansion
of the service se~tor ~n the local economy, though ~his wou~d
pramarily benefif the ~rban sph~re o~ Paradise.
Pxoposed xesident~al land uses at varying densities wi~hin
the.Paradise area may encourage thE construction of affordable
housing far a growing popula~ion near p~aces o~ emp~oyment and
cammercaal districts. This would presumab~y have the anci~iary
effec~ of reducing commute costs for Iaca1 resi~ents. Dense
res~den~ial and Commerczal uses, however, tend to cansume
greater amounts of energy than rural activities, hav~ng a
cu~ulative impact on the cost of that energy. Th~s latter
consequence is somewhat offse~ by ~he proposed ~e~uxn o£ large
amaunts o£ existzng land c~assified Medium Density Res~dential
and Low Density Residential to Agricu~~ural~Residential and
Low Densi~y Residentzal.

3.0 DESCRZPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
3.1 Tapography. The project ar~a lies within the nor~he~~y
portion o~ the Paradise Ridge, immediately above the Town_
of Parad~se. The area zs charac~erized ~y a relatively
broad (1W3 miles wide) gen~le-slopang xidge located between
Butte Cre~k Canyon on the west and ~he West Branch Feathex
River canyon on the ~as~. These eanyons ~axm the per~phery
af the p~oject area, and consist of st~ep ta very ste~p
.'(30-IOOo slopes) rugged, eroded slopes where access and de-
velopment capab~l~~ies are very restr~~~ed or non-existe~t.
Li~tle Butte Creek and Middle But~e Creek traverse the
so~thwestexn area, extendzng into the intexior of th~ projec~
area. The narrow (+ z m~1~ wide) Nimshew Ridge travexses
the western portio~~of ~he area (re~ex ~o Figure 3). The
extreme so~thern por~ions of the area include the s~eep
canyon lands along Li~tle Butte Creek and the Feather Raver
just outside the Town of Parad~se. These canyonlands con-
stitute ~mportan~ watershed areas upstream ~rom Butte Creek
and Lake Oroville.
The Upper Paradise Ridge gen~xally slopes south, sou~hwest
and southeast at a gent~e gxadient (less than 5%). Madera~e
10-20% s~opes do occur ~n specific areas, abruptly changing
into steep canyon slopes on the periphery of the project.
Elevataons vaxy from 320Q+ fee~ A.A~.S.L. in the nax~hern
DeSabla area, deseending to 120Q £eet on the canyon floors.
The Uppe~ Paxadise ridgelands vary from 2200 ~0 32~Q feet;
the Tawn of Parad~se ridge var~es ~~om 150D ~0 2200 fe~~.

3.2 Airshed. The climate ~.n the projec~. area is typical of
t~ie S~exra Nevada and Cascade fao~hills, wi~h hot, dry
summers and cool, we~ w~nters. Pxecipitat~on averages
about 55 to 70 inches annually. Snaw~al~.s occ~r occasion-
al1y, but usually melt a.n a few days. Summer tempexatuxes
may exceed 100° ~.; but Ju~.y high temperatures average in
the upper eighties. 3anuary laws avexage in the thirti.es,
but temperatures in the tw~nta.es and teens da occur. No
reliable wanr~ data is available ~or the area, but t~e pre-
dominant val~ey wind darec~ions are northwest-sautheast
during storms. Loca1 topography modi£a.es w~nd speeds and
direction in ~khe v~.ca.ni.ty during non-storm periads .
Air c{uality in Buffe County as re~atively good, but
National Amb~.ent Air ' Qual.i~y Standa~ds (see 'Fable 1) for
oxidant (smog), carbon monoxide (CO) an.d suspended par~icu-
lates are occasion.ally exceeded. at some lpcations ~.n tht;
County. The California Air Resources Boaxd (ARB) and ~.he
U.S. Environmental. Protecta.on Agency (EPA) have desi.gnated
Butte County as a non--attainraent area for ~hese pol2u~ants.
The new ozone standard es~a~li5hed i.n. 1979 has not been
exceeded at the Chico moni~oring sta~ion, so the Caun~.y
may be redesa.gnated as an. attaanment area for ~his pollutant.
Air qua.lity in f.he pxoj~ct axea ~.s visibly better than that
of~~~he valley por~ion of the county. The site ~.ies above
the semi-permanent inversion layer which tends to entrap many
valley generated pollutan~s, especial,l.y particulates.
The Butte County Aa.r Quality Non-attain~ent Plan (NAP) was
adopted in January ~979. The NAP findings and recommenda~ions
are based on an estirriated maximum coun~y--wide grow~h rate of
3 percent, ~everal o~ the plan recommencl.ations have becn
adapted by the Caunty; these generally pertain to control o~

3.3 Geology. The oldest rocks in the region are valcan~c and
sedimen~ary rocks that were folded and metamorphosed durzng
formation of the Saerra Nevada. ~Fau1~s in the Paradis'e area,
zncXuding ~hose of the Faathil~s ~ault 5ystem; formed ~uring
this time. Large masses of molten grani~ic rock a~d relatively
thin linear masses o~ serpentine were later i~jected into the
o1d~x xocks. ~utcxopp~ngs occur in the extreme eastexn area
in the Featiher River Canyon east af Magalia R~servoir.'
After a lang pexiod o~ ~pl~~t and erosian, layers o~ conglom-
exates, sandstone and sY~tstone (Chico ~armation) were deposi~ed.
They surface in ~he Fea~her River Canyon in ~he easte~n and
southeastern extreme of the project area, as we11 as in the
Butte Creek Canyon. Add~tional eros~on cut stream channels
north a~ Magal~a. A~thick seri~s o~ vo~canic mud~~ows and
assoc~ated voxcanic sediments (Tuscan ~ormation) we~e deposited
in fhe area, follo~ed by basaltic ~avas which overcavered the
T~scan.
Recen~ geologic events in the area have been limited to farma-
tion o~ Butte Creek and othex canyans and xeac~iva~ion of ~he
~oothilxs Fau~t Sys~em. The nearest known ~aux~s axe ~he Big
Bend Fau1~ sou~heast of ~he ~roject area and a belt of sma11
£au~ts east of Chico.
The~Paradise Ridge is undexlai~ by the yo~ng basal~ mentione~
above, an~ residual Aiken soils. The Tuscan Formation deposit
probab~y lies 50 ~0 250 feet beneath the ridge surface and is
exposed in the s~eep canyons on the periphery a~ the area.
Ancient metamoxph~c xack under~ies ~he wester~ por~ian of the
area, wi~hin Bu~te Creek Canyon.
A large area of gran~~ic bedx~ck is exposed at the sur~ace
nor~h of the prajec~ area, west of Stirling City.
3.4 Soils. The pxoject axea xs dominated by Aiken 50~~5 (Aiken-
Go sa se~ sail association), characterized by deep ta very deep
clay loam sai~s on gent~e, we~1-drained ~errain. The nor~h-
eas~ern area is mapped wi~hin ~he Neuns soi~ association, a
deep soil on moderate~sloping to steeper terrain. The wes~exn
and eastern canyan areas consist o~ Toames sails and Goulding-
Auburn soil types. These axe chaxacterized by sha~low to very
shallow so~ls on steep, eroded, well-drained slopes.
Aiken soils, developed as a residua~ soi~ fram the underlying
basalt, are generally four to eight feet ~eep, and occur uni~
~orm~y fhxaughau~ the central Para~ise Ridge. Th~se deep,
~7
1
clay Ioam soi~s have enable~ the Town of Paradise and the'
Paradise Pine~ areas to clev~lop to their presenf densitie~.
The surroundirig canyon and rimla~d areas typically have ~
considexab~y more shallow soils (often l,a.tt~e, if any, so~1s
on the steep ~anyon rack outcrop~ings), imposang extreme '
development lim~tations in thase areas.
Aiken 5q1I5 have a redda.sh-brown, granular loam surface l.ayer,
and a slight~y-cor~pact, yellowish-red c~ay subsoil. Rock
~ragments of gxay basa2~ are Cammon. Aiken soils hav~ goad
drainage, slow to med~.um runoff, moderately-slow subsoil
permeability, and typa.cally have a moderate shrink-swe1l
capacity. The ~ros~on hazard is usually sligh~, al~.hough
J.ocally modera~e. Toomes soils and Gou~ding-Auburn soils,
which occur on the steep canyon slopes and per~pheral areas,
are ~ess than two feet deep. They are campos~;d o~' bxawn,
hard, cobbl,y loams wi.th somewhat ~xcessive drai~age, medium
to rapid runo~~, and modera~e su.bsoil permeabi~.ity. ~rosion
patential and landslide hazards for these areas are rated
r~odera~.e to high due ~.o steep slopes and high rafes a£ xai~-
fal1. Na~.ive vegetation stabilizes these 5Q1~.5 from erosion.
3.5 HydraZo~y_
Surface Wa~er. The major wa~er bodies that exist within the
project site inc~.ud~ the West Branch of the ~'eather River,
Magalia Reservoir, l7e Sabla Reservoir, 1'aradi.se Reservair,
Middle Butte Creek and ~ppex portions of ~ittl.e ~utte Creek.
Lit~~e and ~~ta.ddle Butte Cxeeks drain much of the r~noff ~rom
storms in the project area. Paradise and Magalia Reservosrs
receive runaff £rom La.ttle Butte Creek and a-thex smaller
txibu~axi.es.
Parada.se and Magalia Reservo~xs p~ovide most of the po~.able
water ~'or users in the ~aradise and Upper Ridge area. De
Sab1,a Reservoir furnishes a small amount of drinking water,
and pravides Pacific Gas and ~lectric Company wi~h hydro-
power necessary to opera~.e generators at the De 5abla
Powerhouse.
Gro~ndwater. The most recent comprehensive study of water
Qua~i~y in the Upper Ridge area was jointly performed by
fhe Depar~ment o£ ~Nater Re$ources, ~aradise Irrzga~ion
Distra.ct and Butte County in 1973 (MAGALIA R~SERVOIR WAT~R-
SH~D LIMNO~QGY AND WATER QUA~T'FY STUDY}. The study found
"little evidence tha~ wastes a~~~ migrating to Paradise and
Maga~ia Re$~rvairs. Should this occur to any ~xtent in the
18
~u~ure, ~he gxeafesf concern, o~her than passible hea~th~
problems such as viruses, would ~e the effect on the
b~ological p~oductivity of the reservoirs. Increased '•
bio~og~cal praductivity ca~ld cr~ate ~ndesirabZe canditions
ranging fram ~as~~ and ador problems to unsightly algae
bloams. Tas~e and odar ~roblems appear to be fihe mos~ ,
critical, as•these ~wo reservoirs are used to store water
that is ta be used for domestic purposes.~' The study ~ur-
ther sugg~st~d that th~ watexsh~ds ~or each resexvoir
possessed a limit fox popuXat~on capacity; ~,700 for the
Paradise Reservoar watershed, and 800 peap~e for ~he o~e
araining into Magalia Reservoir.
Water in the ~iagalaa and Paradise Reservoirs xs monitored
annually for organic and mineral con~amanan~s by Parad~se
Ixriga~ian D~strict, ~hi~e the Counfy monitors surface
streams in the projec~ area. No prob~ems wi~h water qua~ity
have been encountered from sample tests in these areas to
date.
A more recent Iimnology study of water Quala.ty, ~'ocusing
on the a.ncorpo~ated '~awn o~ Parad~.se, and ~o a lesser
deg~ee, Magalia, indicares a slight deterioration in c~uality
during the past 7~10 years. The report notes that while no
public hazarct ex~sts from water pollution, a no~.iceable in-
crease in chemical and coliform concentrations occurs where
sur~ace ~c+ratex passes ~hxough urban areas. This impairment
~o wa~er Qual~.ty may be th,e result of the acct~muJ.ation of
po~lutants from so~~ absorption syst~ms. (James M. A~ontgom~ry,

3.6 Biological Resources: Vege~.a~ion and Wil.dlife
Veg~:ta~io~: The pxojec~ area is Ioca~e~ p~incipa~ly within
th~ Yellow Pine Foresf plant community {Transa.tion Life Zone),
bu~ extends into mixed Foothz.].1. Oak Woodland and Chaparral
vege~a~ion zanes in the outlying ~idgela.nds and canyonlands.
Riparian vegefation communaties accur al.ong streams and canyon
bat~om lands.
The Ye~low ~ine (Ponderosa Pine) communify consisfs of a mxxed
cona.fexous--deciduous forest, generally charac~Cerized by ponder--
osa pines, sugar p~nes, incens~; ced.ars, and 1]ouglas ~irs, with
co~siderable .grawth of oaks, ma~l.es, and other deciduous vege-
tation (refer ta Appendix 3~or a vegetation Sist~ng). The
central Paradise Pines area contains some ~.eciduous forest
aver a Ia~ge area which is disturb~d hab~~at. ,
19
The mixed Foothill Oak Wood~and-Chaparxa~ habi~at occurs
a~ the lower elevations on canyon slopes and in exposed
areas (primar~ly in the westexn and southwestern boundax~es
and in the Bu~~e Creek canyons), and supports digger pine,
manzanita, ~~ck brush, oaks, etc. Ganyons general~y have
de~se shru~by vegetation, as well as forest cover, particu-
laxly an narth-~acing s~opes. NaturaX wi~d~~~es his~orically
have xeduced densi~ies and vegefation, allowing grea~er
wildlife use; fire con~rol has modified this, increas~ng
vege~ation densi~y.
Rzparian vegetatian accurs wzthi~ narxaw bands along ~rainages
and stxeams, pxav.id~ng a dzverse environment for infensive
wildli~e ~t~Iization. However, this habitaf type is limited
in exfe~t (high groundwater associatians}, and is located
in pre~ominantly inaccessible and/or undevelopa~le areas.
ParadisE R~dge natural vegetation has been previo~sly dis-
tuxbed by Iogging, wood cu~ting, and suburban and rural~
residential development, Ieaving only l~mited areas o£ un-
~isturbed land. The latte~ primarily occurs ~n the peripheral
areas near canyons and in the naxthern portion above Paradise
Pines. Understory vege~ation and brush in the centxal xidge
areas typically have Iight to maderate~y.dense cover, having
b~en pxeviously d~sturbed or removed. Grasses and annua~~~s
axe nat prevalen~ in this forest com~unity, although a~ew
exposed slopes and steeper canyon t~rxain suppor~ primarily
grasses and annua~s (Where shallow soil, roc~y outcrappangs,
and sfeep terra~n exposure prevent the growth a£ fores~
vegetation.)
Raxe a~d ~ndangered Plants. In general, the entire Paradise
Ridge has suitable habitat for th~ ~ollowing raxe/endangered
plants:
1. ~rYtillaria eas~woodiae occurs on many so~I types
pa~t~cu~arly serpen~ine soils} ~n open ~or~sted
loca~ions on we11-drained slopes above 2Q00 ~ee~
elevation. This p~ant is mare adapt~ve to ~evelop-
~ent encroachment than many other rare plants. The
species is consi~ered rare, but nof endangered (Rare
and Endan ered PZants of Butte Count ,~. R. Nelson,
1979}.
2. S~dalcea rob~sta is found i~ grassy dxy areas on
vo~canic soils. This perren~a~ ~s no~ we11 adaptive
~o disturbance. The sp~cies is cons~dered extre~ely
rare, nat thxea~ened w~th immi:~ent ~xt~nc~ion.
The grea~es~ sensitivity in the axea fox fhese two plant species
occurs in the more nartherly~axea (Magalia to De Sabla}, alo~g
Honey Run Road in the southwes~, and on Nimshew Ridge on the
west.
20
3. Twa ather sensitive or rare pla~t spec~es of
Iimite~ habitat occur i~ the praject area:
a. Cu ressus macnabYana (Macnab cypress)
locate on serpentine soils at the only
know~ locatian near Coutelenc Road/Skyway
intersection. ~
b. Ca~yste ia am licifol~a var. buttensis
wi~d "Morn~ng Glory" , wh2chis sensitive
but nat ~ndangexed.
W~~dlife. This type of mountain ~ores~ habi~a~ zs capa~le
o~supparting a laxge dYVersity and density of w~~dxife
(refer to App~nd~x 4£or a Iis~ing of typical species in
~he a~ea}. Anamal use is not readily apparen~ to ~he
casual observer. Many species are axboxeal or nacturna~,
and deer populations of~en are win~ex residents anly.
Historica~ly, the entire paradise Ridge was impox~ant wild-
life habitat. However, because af developmen~ pressures and
extensive papu~afion growth, the California ~ish and Game
Departmen~ no longer considers the area prime habitat: the
~roject axea is no~ li,sted as an ar~a of specia~ bio~og~ca~
~mpax~ance (ASBI) on the department's wildl~fe map (al~hough,
his~orically, ~t ~as ance Key dee~ winter range). Large ~
~umbers o~ wiXdlife stil~ accu~ ~n th~ area, and deer popu-
Iatzons probably continue ta m~gxate into and winter within
~he nor~hern ridge and autlying canyan areas (the Bucks
Mountai~ herd fro~ the na~~heas~). The ~ish and Ga~e Depart-
ment cons~de~s ~wen~y acre parce~s the minimum allowable far
wild~i~e/development compatib~lity (40-acres w~thin Key deer
habitat).
Deer populatians are particulaxly dependent.on shrubs.
Species density and divexsity wathin ~he Foa~h~11 Oak- Waadland-
Chaparral areas has been reduced by contro~ of natural wildland
fires.
Rare and Endangered Wildl~fe. ~ald eagles wintex in the
general region, nesting-~n ~arge conifer trees near reservo~rs
and x~vers. The Lake Oro~i~le/Feather River Canyon area in
the extreme southeastex~ corner af th~ p~aject area has been
ident~fied as impor~ant eagle habitat. This rare and en-
dangered speeies is h~gh~y sensative to human d~sturbance.
Spotted aw~s, a sensitive wildlife species o~ special concern
to Ca~i£o~nia Fish and Game, occur in o1d growth timber,
perhaps in some areas w~th~n ~he extreme noxfhe,rn projec~
area and in canyons.
21
Suitable soils, the hydrologic-cl~ma~ic xegime, and ~errain
allow mos~ lands in the Uppex Pa~adise Ridge to suppar~ s~s-
~ained yie~d commerc~al timber. So~ls are designated 'pre-
dominantly "4" and "5" on a 7-point rating sca~e for T.imber
Site po~ential {Soil and Vegetatian Suxvey of the U. S.
Farest Service).
3.7 Acous~.i~s. The principal sources af noise an or near the
pro3ect site are ~he resu~t of vehicu~.ar txa~~~c on the
Skyway, Cau~alenc:Road and Nimshew Road north a~ Paradise,
and ~.he Pentz-Magalia Haghway soufh a~ Paradise. (Roads
within ~he incarporated a~c~as are no~ inc~.uded.) Secondaxy
sources of noise are generated by off-road recxeata.onal
vehicles, power tools and ather constxuction equipme~.t, and
manufacturing operati.ons.
The Naise Elemen~ zn the Butte County General PZan identifies
two accep~able noise levels ~'or the Co~n.fy.* '~he first
naise benchmark i~ndicates ~hat a maximum acceptable outside
noise ~evel of L~~-6~ dB provid.es a su~table no~se envz.ron-
ment for indoor activities. For outdoox ~unctions background
no~.se levels ~.hat exceed 50-55 dBA interfere with speech
communa~catian. Tht~ preferred stanc~ard for maximum indoox
naise levels is Ldn-45.dB.
~ased on "rule-o~-thumb" guidelines, outsi~e noise I.evels
for vaxiable speed xoads with 5,Q00 to 20,000 average daa.ly
~ra£~'i.c {ADT) counts, are shown below:
"High--Speed" Roadways: Ldn - 70 dB w~thin ~.00 feet of
(45--55 ~~1PH) roadway.
Lan - 65 dB be~ween 100 and 200
feet o~ the roadway.
~,~n - b0 dB or less beyond 20Q
feet o£ the roadway.
"i~ow--Speed" Raadways : ~~n - 65 d.B within 100 £e~t of
(typically 35 MPH) the roadway.
Ld~ - fiQ dB or less beyand 100

This data sugg~sts that any ac~ivity Iocated beyond 200
feet from the ed e af roadway would exp~xience no.~se levels
of Ldn-60 dB or ~ess.
xn summary, the County Noise.~lement canc~udes:
"Ther~ have been ~~w noise comp~ain~s in the County and
most o£ fhese ~nvoZv~ in-ci~y noase pro~lems. The unin-.
corpoxa~ed areas a~ ~he County genera~Iy have low no~se
~evels and ~ost of the noise producing ac~ivitaes (motor-
cycle tracks, gravel-crushing aperat~ons, e~c.) are ~
sufficient~y remote from popu~ated areas to cause few
complain~s.
There are vexy few persons exposed to noise levels abov~

3.$ Aesthet~cs. Th~ Upper Ridge is charactexized by rol~ing £oo~~
ill ~errain, wi~h views o£ deep canyons, streams, lakes and
forests where land has not been developed. Mas~ ~and uses are
residential, wi~h a popu~a~ion that ranges ~rom ~ural to 1ow
~ensity in concentration. Commercial establishments are con-
sidered 1igh~ retail, for the most part, and primari~y oc~ur
a~ong the Skyway. Away ~rom deve~aped paxcels, the natuxal
viewsh~d is goo~ ta excel~ent.
3.9 Land Use. Most of the lan~ in the pxoject site curren~ly
exists as open space, or suppoxts rural to low densi~y resi~
de~~ial hflusing. 5cattered commexcial act~vities currently
op~erate along the Skyway and Pen~z-Maga~ia F~ighway. Th~
project proposal deszgnates xoadside land along thes~ ma3or
traffic corr~dors for future commercial use.
The prima~y land uses proposed far th~ praject area consist
of residential housing at rural and low densities, and open.
space (designared Graz~ng and Open ~and, and ~~mbex Mountain

Po u~afio~. The Paradise urban area has exp~rienced one
o~ t e highest grow~h rates in Butte Caunty duxing ~he past
~0 years. According to prel~mznary ~950 ce~sus fagures,
population in the Paxadise urban area has increas~~ mare
than 7Q percen~, from 15,879 to 27,562, in the per~od ~970
to x980.~ Within the ParadYSe ~ncorpara~ed area, the popuW
1at3on ga~n approximated 50 pexcen~, increasing from 1~,539
in 197Q to 22,145 zn 1980 (Preliminary ~98D Census Data).
These increases xepresent annual average growth rates of
5.67 p~xcent a~d 4.30 percent respectively. The I980 popu-
lat~on estima~e for the entire County, based on data pravided
by the Cax~fornia Department o~ ~inance, is 1~1,200. Census
data for 1970 shows• a po~ula~ion of 101,969. The federa~
1980 Prel~minary Gensus xecoxded a populatian ~vr Butte
County o~ I39,315; representing a gain af 37,~4b, or 36.62
percent. ~he County's annual average gxow~h rate ~or ~his

Construction of new housing units has exceeded population
grow~h in the ~0-year ~er~od, ~970-~980, ~erhaps re~lecting
~he 1oca~ housing industry's belief in a growth maxket. The
average hausehold population for the projec~ area varies
from 2.30 zo 2.34 per dwe~Iing (Pre~~minary 198Q Census).
The ~970 figure far that catega~y was 2.44. The decline in
household populataon would be expected in an area that ~
attracts an unusually Iarge number o~ xefired~or sem~-re~i~ed
pexsons in older age groups.
Tables 2-A, 2-B, 3 and 4 display the populatian projections
~ox ~he County, Paradise, and•Upper Ridge urban area, based
on low (2.Oo) and high (4.0%} growth rates. ~or Butte County
Iow and h~gh gxawth rates would equa~ ~.5% an~ 3.0% respectively.
As a resu~~ of Genera~ Plan amendmenfs ~ha~ reduce dens~ty in
the Pa~adise area, and the on-going deve~opment of a 1imi~ed
suppxy of acceptab~e buildxng 1o~s, growth in ~his area should
decline over ~he ~ong term from pxevious~y high rates.
~Popula~iori figures are based on ~975 ~ensus ~racts and revised
1980 census ~xac~s for the Town o£ Paradise and Upper Ridge area.

General Plan: Land Use Map a~d Policies
The current General P~an designates appxax~matE~y 20% o~
the 18,600 acres in the project site "Law Density Residen~sal"
(1-4 dwelling ~nits pex gxass acxe) and "Medium Density
Residential" {5~8 dwelling units per gross acre). Approxi-
mately 8~0 of the site is currently designated either '.'Timber-
Mountazn" or "Graza.ng and Open Land". "Commercial" and
"P~b~~c" designa~ion account £or only 1.S% of the total
projec~ si~e (see ~'igure 4}.
Appraxzmately 2000 acres (lla} o~ th~ project site are pro-
posed for "Low Density Residen~.ial°' (up to 4 dwelling units
per acre) and "Medium ~ensify Residentia]." (~p ~0 8 dwelling
units per acre) with an addi~ional 5000 acres (274) prdposed
for'"Agriculturai Residential" (1-40 acres ~er dwelling unit).
"Timber-Mountain" and "Grazing and Open Land" desig~ations
axe proposed £ax appxaximate~.y 1.0,300 acxes (55a). These
designations accoun~. fox more than 90a of a11 acreage in ~he
project site (see Figure 5).
As noted in the General Plan t~xt, "because....desi~es ~o~ the
£u~.uxe are so numexous, diverse and idealis~ic, some conflicts
~ between policies are unavo~~able and to be expected. No one
policy by itself should a~.ways determine County acta.on;
deca.si~on-makers must cansa.de;r a1J. adapted pa~.icies which are
relevan~~ ~o a parfiicular situatian. The continual interpre-
tation and application o#~ policy statements to ind~ividual:.
situations wil~ freauently result a.n compramises xeflecting
balances and priorit~es among canflicting policies."
The proposed General Plan revision for the Paradise Llpper
Ridge area involves complex issues which, as noted above, may
also invoke canf~.i.ctzng County po~.ic~es,
There are at least ~hree primary ~lanning issues related tfl
the proposed project. They involve: (l) population growtih;
{2) xesource managemen~; and (3) res~.dential development.
Each of these issues is discussed in the following paxagxaphs.
Since 1970, the project site has experience~. one of tha
highest growth rates in the Caunty due in part to the develop-
ment of over 4200 ].ats in the Paradise PZnes'project, and in
part to the "aver£~.aw" ~xom the City af Parac~ise. The ha.ghest
growth rate is expected to con~inue into the near future.
The poJ.icy of the General PZan is to "allow reasonable
'fxeedom of choice' of s~tes and facilities for the population
grow~h of the County...and its var~.ous sections", and to
"designate adequate land for ~ree-marke~ competition among
land suppJ.iers ~.o avoid ar~~fi_ca11y constricting land avaa.l-
abi.~.ity." The proposed Genera~ Plan A'~ap designations waul.d
32
al~aw a maximum of nea~ly 16,000 D/Us and a populatian of
over 27,QQ0 in the Upper R~dg~ area.~ Considerang the
probabili~y that no~ all land will deve~op to the maximum
aensi~ies allowed by the General Plan due fv sep~ic, access,
Iat configuration, and other factors, i~ can be expected
that the popu~ation will double or even ~riple f~om the
pres~nt popu~ataon of approximate~y 5,080, and remain witihin
the densi~y constraints of ~he proposal.
Th~ Upper Parad~s~ ~idge has two reso~rces that axe especially
~mpor~ant to the entixe Paxadise R~dge as we~1 as ~he re-
ma~nder of the Coun~y. "The manufacturzng of 1~mber and wood
products accounts for about 4% of the wage-and-salary employ-
ment in ~he Coun~y and a hea~thy share o~ basic xncame ~o the
County economy. Timberlan~ also has significa~t value ~or
wildl~fe habitat, recreation and watershed protectxon." The
watershed is par~ic~larly importan~ in this area since Magalia
Reservoir and Paradise Lake are wa~er supply for the Town o~
Paradise. The proposal will "limit the use of t~mbex~and to
forestry act~vities and co~patible uses; retain zn a"Timber
Land" category areas on th~ Land Use Map where ~ocation and
nafural condit~ons make ~ands well suited for timberland,
while considerang for non-~~mber use areas where ~rban en-
croachment has m~~e inxoads into tim~er areas and
whe.re past offzcial act~ons have planned a•reas for development; .
ma~nta~n q~antity and qua~~ty a~ watex resources adequate for '~~
a~l uses xn the County; contro~ development in wa~ershe~ areas
~o minimize erosion and water pallu~ion."
Whi1e the need for hamesites of various s~z~s, dens~~ies, and
locations have been discusse~, the need to limi~ densities ~n
the Upper Paradi$e Ridge area has not. Aside from the pro-
vision o£ Open Space and "elbow room" around individual 1ots,
densi~ies must be 1imi~ed in same areas because of soil, slope,
septic capabilities, water availability, and a~her naturai
site characteristics. Prax~maty to public facilities, em~r-
gency s~rv~ce~ and commercial areas is also a considexatzon.
A maj~r planning concern in ~he project area is the traffic-
carrying capacity of the road network. Almost a11 of the
existing development in the Upper Ridge area uses Skyway as
its sole access. As tihe pop~lation graws and devexopment
intensifies, traffic cangestion wi11 increase. Blockage of
Skyway at Magalia due to acciden~ ox other cause ef~ectively
•isalates mos~ o~ the popula~ion. A state~ palicy o~ ~he
General P1an is ~o "balance residential d~nsi~ies with traf~~c
carrying capacities of existing and propase~ circulation p~ans".
The proposed Land Use Plan recognazes the Iimiting influence
of Skyway and wil~ help reduce txavel ou~ of the Upper Ridge
area by providing area fox ample commercial deve~opment within
~he area.
~The papulat~an would be considerably higher if more residents
permanent~y move into the Uppex Ridge, decreasing the numbex of
dweXlings used as second homes.
33
In another section of the General P~an, the purpose for
separating ~and uses is d~scusse~. The Plan explains that
"land use categories combine similar and compatible activ~
i~ies inta groups with daffering needs for ~acat~on and
space.... The variaus ~ocation and space xequirements of
land uses can o~~y be satis£ied by separating uses inta
categor~~s and attempting to provide suitable sites fo~
each ca~egory." The general goals here are to meet ~he
unz~ue requirements of each land use activity, and reduce
pote~tiai conflicts among land use$ ~n pxoximity to one
another. Whexe ancompa~ib~e land uses appear to be develop-
ing near each o~her, the plan recommends the adoption o£
measures ~ha~ woul~ mitigate potent~al con~l~cts. The
preferred goal, howev~x, ~s to suf£~ciently separate inT
compatible land uses, to the extent that their activit~es
w~~~ no~ intrude upon one another.
The County recogn~zes ~he need for a satisfacto~y supply
and variety of hausing for its residen~s. ~he General P1an
postulates that "satis~act~on of hausing needs are....
dependent on balanczng ho~sing supply and demand... ~he
Caun~y ca~ bes~ ass~st the housing market by assu~ing enough
sui~able space for new housing canstxuction".
Zo~ nang .
The~~roject s~te is now zoned ~ox a variety of uses, rangi~g
from commerca.a~. and xesiden~ial to timber preserve and rec-
reation and other public uses. Most of the proposed Land Use
designat~ons wi11 conform to the existing zones; a few areas
wiJ.1. require rezoning in order to con~oxm to the revised
General P1an classifications. The rezone portian of the
proposal. is from A-2, A-2 Ltd., AR-MH-~ and S-H to TM-I,
TM~2, TM-5, TM-40, ~R-5, ~R-40, H-C, C-G, C-Z, 5R-1, R-C,
PTQ, RT-1, MH~', AR-MH-1, AR-MH-3 and A-40.

3.IQ Circu~ation. The primary access raute a.nto the Upper
Ridge area, north of Parad~se, is va.a Skyway. Other ~ajor
tra~~ic.ar~eries- that prov~.de access ~o tha southexn per-
imeter af the Upper Ridge inc~ude Nea1 Road, C1a~k Road
and the Pentz-Magalia H~.ghway. Nimshew Raad, Humbug Road
and Couto~.enc Road serve as majar tra~fic corridors within
the Upper Ridge praject area; a].1 of ~hese corridors gen-
erally follow north-south axes.
Majox eas~-west roads across the face of the Upper Ridge
axe 1imi~ted, due to thE presence of canyons, 7.axge bodies
of water and rugged terrain. Hupp Coutolenc Road connects
the Skyway and Coutolenc Road in the northe~n section of
the Upper Ridg~, though na other road exiSts tha~ links
the eastern and western extremxties o~ the project si~e
north o~ Pa~cadise. Sections o~ Nimshew Road, Humb~g Road
and Hupp Coutolenc Road axe unimproved, allowi.ng only
~.imited ~ravel duri.ng the win~er months.

According to Table 9, a total of ~,17~ students attend
public and private schaals in the Paradise area. Approxi-
mate~y 1,Z80 (310) of thos~ studen~s are enxol~ed in
secandaxy {grades 9-12) schoo~s. Of the 2,893 stu~ents
atten~ing eZementary (grades K-$) schoo~s, 528 (180) are
enrolled in pravate schools. The Paradise Un~~~ed SCh00~
D~strict has his~oricaxly experienced an annual average.
growth xate a~ three pe~cen~ among the student population.
This represen~s a lower grawth rate ~han r~corded ~ar the
general popula~ion in Paradase (~.30 ~o 5.67% annua~~average
~ncrease), indi~cating a declining family size.
Sherif~. Law enfarcement in ~he,pxaject area is prov~ded
y~~Bu~te County Sheriff's Depar~ment. A staff of twelve
sworn af£icers currently opera~e on ~h~ee 5h1~t5 out o~ the
Paradise of£ice lacated on E11io~ Road. The day and gxaveyard
shifts each have two patrol beats while the swing shaf~ has
three beats.
The But~e County Board of Supervisoxs recent~y voted to add
27 new pexsonne~ to the.Sheriff's Departm~nt. Hawever, nv
new personnel wil~ be added to the Paradise Of~~CE.
The_.project site Iies wi~hin a regular patrol beat~area, bu~
~s patrolled with a varied frequency.
The Sheriff's Depar~men~ ~st~mated response ~ime ~o areas
throughout the project si~e xang~s from 3-i5 minutes.
Fire Pratection. The But~e County Fire Department, in
cooperatzon with the' California Department af Foxestry, is
responsibZe ~or fire protection in the projec~ area. The
nearest centrally posirioned ~ire stat~on ~s Iocated in
Faradise P~nes on the 5kyway within the c~ntra~ project area.
This stat~on is man~ed by 2 regular and 30~voxunteer firemen.
~he condifion o~ the fire trucks, which includes 2~ankers
an~ 3~umpexs, ~s considered to be very good.
Response ~ime f~vm the Paradase Panes station wauld rang~
fxo~ 2 ta 8 minutes to various Ioca~ions on ~he Upper Ridge:
Other statians that serve the p~oject area include the De
Sab1a Stat~on #31, Coutolenc Volunteer S~ation on upper
Coutolenc Road, Magalia Volunteer Stataan and the.Battalion
Headquar~ers in the north section of Paradise. Response
~imes may ~ange up to 15 minutes to the southern extremes
of ~he project site.
Most of the Upper Ri~ge has been classified as a"High"
naturax ~zre hazard area. The rating increases to "Extreme"
~n ~he eas~ern partions o~ the project site (Butte County
General Pla~, Sa£e~y E~ement).

3.12 Archaea~agic Resources. The proposed areas for rezane 1ie
w~thin the area th~at once was occupied by the Konkow indian
people (northwes~ Maidu). The Konkow followed a hunting and
gathering for~ of subsis~ence fhat uta~ized the natural x~-
sources of theix ~err~tory, which reauired a yearly gathering
cycle. This cyc~e involved the exploitation of most edibles
wi~hin ~heir terxitory, reauiring their migra~ion into the
mountains in ~he summex to hunt deer, with a return to va~ley
areas during the spring to GO~~~Ct g~ass seeds.
The archaealogical site records maintained at California
S~ate Univers~ty, Chico, indica~e ~hat 16 previously recorded
prehis~oxxc sites are ~ocated within or adjacen~ to ~he ~ro-
pased rezone area. 0~ these s~tes, ~3 consist solely o~
be~rack martars, which wexe u~i~~zed by the a~original peop~e
in cannec~ion with stone pest~es ~vr the preparation o£ variaus
types o~ faod resources. One o~her site C0~5IS~5 of bedrock
maxtaxs and li~h~c debitage, which ~s the res~lt of ston~ tool
manufac~uring. Two o£ the sates ar~ classified as buxial
grounds based upon the prese~ce of human bone and o~her ~ypes
o~ arti~acts found at these sites. No permanen~ habitatzon
sites have been previously recorded within the area, but a
n~mber of rock shel~e~s, utix~zed as tempoxary cam~s, have
b~en record~d within canyons a short distance from the area.
The presence af numerous bedrock mortar sites~and the absence
of ~a~ger habitation sites indicate that, althaugh th~ a~-
origina~ populatian ~rEquently passed through the area on
their seasona~ gathering cycle, they only stayed there briefly
when ~raveling between ~he valley and the mountains. The
presence of the two burial graunds daes not fit anta this
pattern, s~nce it has been repoxtea that a~though the Konkow
normally burie~.their dead, crema~ion was used when a pexson
died away from their permanent villages. Unless there axe
unk~own habitat~on sites within the genera~ area, the pxesence
o~ these ~urial grounds remain an anamaly among ~ormal Konkow
practices.
Histaric Background. Early historic activit~es wx~hin ~his
area were related to gold maning and the lum~er industry. The
~own o~ Magaxia, origznally chxisten~d Dogtawn and 1a~er re-
named Magalia in 1862, was faunded in 1850 by E. B. V~nson and
Charles Chamberlin. So~th-sauthwest trending Tertiary xivex
channels pass through the area where gold bearing deposits
have accounted for a number af mines in the area, usually
worked as dri~t mines. The Maga~ia Mine was opened in 1855,
and large-scale mining continue~ in~o ~he 1890s. Smal~-scale
mining con~inued from the early I900s through the I930s,
reviving again af~er Wor1d War I~ an~ continuing through the
pr~sent. One a~ the most notable finds within the ar~a was
~3
the ~amous 54'pound Wi~lard (Dogtown/A4agalia) nugget ,
discovered ~n 1859. ,
~he lumber i~dustry in the ~rea prospered in part, as a,~
• result a~ the Civil War; the South cut off supp~ies of
'~urpentine and resin to the North, which were vital for ~
the shipping industry. Magalia, which supparted a large
number of Pandexosa pines, q~ickly became the center for
product~an af turpentzne and resin. Over fzve distilleries
were located wi~hin the area, and Magalia became knawn as
the Turpent~ne Capitol of California. The..termination of
hostili~ies xn the Civi~ War also has~ened the ~emise o~
the turpen~ine ~ndustry in Cali~ornia, ~hough the Iumbering
industry continued to flourish.
5ensitivit for Cuxtural Resources. Based upon the pre-
viously r~corded preh~storic sites and histor~c backgraund ~
of the area, a wide variety of cul~ural resources are be-
lieve~ to exist within the pxopased rezone area. The most
camman type of pxehistoric site typically found is th~
bedxock mortar sife, which common~y occur adjacent to drainages
and spr~ngs. The presence o~ two burial grounds adjacent ~o
this area ~ndxcates the po~entzal exis~ence a~ permanent
habitation sites, or large seasonax base ca~ps within the
area. There ~s also a high probability o~ ~ocating rock
shelters, util~z~d by the aboxiginal papula~ion fox temporary
occupafion sites along canyon walls in the area.
Histoxic sites related to gold mining and the lumber industry
will accur as two genexal types: actiivity loci and habitation
areas. Activity Ioci would include mine shafts, dams and
flumes, and lumber mi1~s. Habitat~on areas wauld include
cabin flats, ~ining and logging camps. Many of the histoxic
sites exp~cted ~o occu~ within the area have undoubtedly
been destrayed by recen~ dev~Iopment. Due ta the intensity
o~ early histoxic activity withzn the area, hawever, a number
o~ these si~es still remain.

4.Z Poten~ial Advexse S~~nifica~t Im~acts and Mi~i~a~ion
Measures. Th~ fo~lowing section includes analyses,
~iguxes and p~ajec~zons bas~d on the most in~ense land
use allowed under propos~d land use categaries. A~-
though proposed zones would reduce the s~verity of im-
pacts, ~uture rezones to a~~ow greater commerc2al use
or higher dens~ty residen~aal development in the ~rojec~
area is potentially ~easible. A"worst case" scenario
is therefore posi~ed £or evaluation.
Water Quality. Based on findings in th~ Water Quality
Ma~a emen~ P1an for Paradise a~d Ma a~ia Mantgomery
Engineers, 1979), adverse ~mpacts wo~l be expected £xom
contxnued buildout in the immediate Paradise area.
Impact 1: A~ incr~ase in the concen~ration o~ coliform andicator
would occur in starm r~noff tha~ passes ~hrough developed
areas, particul~rly during the dry months. Urban storm
runoff ~hat reached natural drainage channe~s woul~ ultimately
~ncrease pol~u~ion xevels in local s~reams.
Impact 2: As buildaut proceeds,
ta tr~at and absorb contaminants
systems would approach sa~ura~io:
con~ami~an~s in shal~ow aquifers
quently increasing the amount of
surface streams farther dawn the
the capacity of ~he soil
~ram septic-leach field
a. ~he concentration of
would increase, subs~-
po1l~~an~s flowing inta
ridge.
The above impac~s pot~ntially pose a serious healt.h hazard
~o the public from cQntam~nataon of shallow wells and s~reams
used for rec~eation and occasional cansumption. Stream ~ife
would a~so be adversely affec~ed.
M~tigations: The folloWing mi~~gation measures are extracted
in tata ~rom the Water_Quality Management Plan (Montgomery
~ngTxs, 1.979) ;- ---
Method of Was~ewater 1. Construction af a community
Management collection system and leach

Im act 2-A: Development ad~a~ent to, ar within the water'-
sheds rec arg~~ng the A~agalia ana Paradise Reservoirs would
increas~ the patential for red~cing the water quality in ~
those res~rvoirs,
M~~i ations (~rom 1973 Limnology Study):
~. The Paradase Irrigatzon Distr~ct (PTD) confirm and
x~fine ~he hydralogic balance a~ the Paradise and
Magalia Reservoirs to ascer~ain if large amo~nts of
water are beang losf ~rom staxag~ in Magalaa Reservoir.
This could be accomplished by ~ti~izing ~he existing
measuring weir above Magalia Reservo~r and insta~ling
new measuring stations on (a) Little Butte Greek above
and c~aser to Para~~se Reservoir ~han the one used for
this st~dy; (b) Mosauato Creek; and (c) F~r Haven Creek.
2. PTD conduc~ an aperationa~ study a~ the two rese~vo~rs,
wi~h th~ obje~tive of forestalling or lessening xhe
possibi~ity of a1gal productivity problems. This study
shou~~ include ~he effects o~ anstal~atian and use af
multipleWZevE1 ou~Iets oi~ bo~h xeservairs.
3. PID mon~tor the nitrogen and phos~ho~us concentra~~ons
of the sur~ace and battom wa~ers of ~he two reserva~rs
an a bimonthly basis during March, Apri1, and May ta
determine if these nutrients are increasing in ~he
res~rvoir waters.
4. ~ID monitor tihe valumes o~ phy~op~ankton through-
out the water co~~mn on a bimanthly basis d~ring A4arch,
Apri1, and May ~o determine if the biologica~ produc-
tzvity in these two reservoirs zs increasing.
S. PID updat~ and evaluate ~he basic wa~er qua~ity in~orma-
tion in this repaxt every 5 yeaxs, or as soon as the
tatai populatzon on th~ watershed reaches the predacted
~eve~s expected to ca~se problems. This wauXd a~low the
Dzstrict to ~etermine o~ detec~ a buildup of adverse
conditions that would a~fect its water supp~y and to
initiate correctave ~easures before a pxo~Iem occurs.
6. ~ut~e County contanue to enforce regula~i~ns requixing
at Ieas~ SO feet of leach line for each bedroom in a
home, and that regulations be adopted for (~) pxah~bit-
ing th~ i~stallatian of l~ach fields ~n this wa~ershed
on slopes of more than 2a degrees; (2) requiring that,
4b-A
where fea~ible, a veget~tive co~iferous cover be
maintazned over or with~~ 25 feeti o~ each leach fieldi;
and (3) r~Quiring an al~erna~e set a~ leach lines for
each homesite, thus permitting occasional res~ing and'
rejuvenating of eaeh ~each ~~e1d an~ ensuring ~are ~
e~~ic~ent'operat~on of the sysfem.
7. When a b~i~dup of either nutrients ax phytop~ankton ,
vo~umes becomes ~vident in either of the twa x~servoirs,
~ut~e County prohibit fur~her develapment requixing
disposal of wastes to septac tanks and leach fields
and initiate plans ~oward constxucting sewage collection
sys~ems and treatment facilities for the r~sidents o~
the area.
~utt~ County.should also con~inue to res~rict development
adjacent to, ar within the watersheds of the reservoirs
through appropriat~ zoning and General P~an Iand use desig-
nations.

Traffic
Impact 3: Under an annual average grow~h ra~e of four
percent, average hourly traffic (AHT) voiumes o~ the
Skyway north o~ th~ ant~rsect~on with.Coutolenc Road de-
cline ane-ha~~ Ievel o£ service (L~S) by x985 from B/C
(Stable Flaw) to D(Approaching Uns~ab~e.Flow). By the
year ~995, LOS has dropped ~o D/E (Approaching/Unstable
Flow), which is normally an unacceptable txa~~ic condition.
The AHT on Skyway north a~ Pand~rosa d~c~ines one LOS to
B~n X995, and to C in 2000. AHT on Skyway south of
Ponderosa decreases from a LOS of A to B in I990; B/C in
~995; and D in 200~~. The L05 on Clark at~the intexsec~ion
with Pearson also steadily dxops, fxom A~n ~985, to B/C
in 2~00.
Impact_4: After maximum potential bui~dou~, the LOS de- .
texio~afes to E on Skyway narth of the in~ersectian wx~h
Couto~enc, and north and south of Ponderflsa. 0~ C1axk
south of Skyway LOS drops to D/E, and to G/D at the ~nter-
section with Pearson. The ~OS declines to D a~ bo~h check-
points on the Pentz-Magalia Highway. Qn1y on Skyway nar~h
of.N~mshew Road does the LOS remain superior at A/~, and
an Coutolenc near the,intersection with Skyway at A. '
. ..., ..
The above -k~a~~ic v~lume es~imates should~be~consa.dered
conservative, since many of these raads havc sharp curves,
redt~.cing negotiating spe;eds and sight dis~ance. Moreover,
the xoads may ~~ narro~a'ex in some sec~ions ~than the average
used in cal.culating the S~OS stan~.ards in Tables 1Q and 1~ .
Average hourly volumes may actually produce a warse L~S rat~.n~
than determined above. ~
Miti atians: Thc; ~a~.J.owing sugges~ec~ mitigations are only
paxtxa]. solut~ons ta the adverse traffic impacts that wi.1~.
po~entially occur from adoptian a~ the ~ropose~ projec~.
The County and Town af Paradas~ shauld form a~aint p~.ann.ing
committee to coord~.na~.e ~.he formulation of a camprehens~ve
~ circulation plan far the project area and incaxpoxated areas
surrounr~ing maj or roads . Priara.ty should be assigned ~o
~ identification and r~aintenance a~ emexgency exit rou~es from
the Upper Ridge, in the event a£ a natural calamity, such as
the outbxeak o£ a massive forest fire. Thc ~armu~a~~on o~
a joint c~rcula~ion plan should strong~.y consider a variety
of modes of travel in the ~axadise and Upper Rid.ge areas.
~ Bicycle, pedestra.an and equestrian paths would encourage
persons to take advantage of nan-vehicular ~xavel over shoxt
dis~.ances ~n a scenic environment. Separate ~anes fox
bicyclists and moped types o~ moto~rized bi.cyc~es would
Sl
benefzt users of these modes o~ travel. Use o~ smaller
types of mass txansi~ vehicles is also desirable in an
area populated wi~h a large pxoportion of elderly residen~s.
The deve~opment of graphic warning szgns, and correspondW
ing xeduc~ian o~ cammercial road signs along ~he right-o~-
way would help to increase tra~f~c safety. Road widening
and use o~ single direction roads, whexe appropria~e, wou~~
facilitate traffic f~ows and improve safe~y margins.
Gollection of developer fees ~ar impravement af exist~ng
coun~y/~own roads, ~~cluding signalization, impacted by
~hose subd~visions is recommended.
Aco~stic$
The regular ~ntxusion o~ disxu~t~ve no~se 1evels ~nto Iiving,
work and recreational areas significan~ly detracts fra~ the
desirabi~~ty of that area, and may, ~~ certain ins~ances,
demanstrab~y contxibute to th~ de~erioration of an ind~vidual's
health. A4areavex, real property valu~s axe also adversely
affected by the pres~nce o~ excessive, objectianable no~s~
levels. Finally, wildlife are discouraged from using a
hab~tat when persistent high urban noise levels are pr~sent.
~I~m~ ~act _5: The prajected increase in traff~c volumes, off-
xo-ad vehicle (ORV) use, domestic pet population,.wood c~tting
and construc~ian activi~ies• will result in more frequenti

caurses and streams may be substantial ~-~ especia].ly on a
cumulative basis, if maximum proposed general plan densi~ies
are achieved. Within the propased LDR and AR land use
categories (~ota~. 7800 acres, 1~,3b0 xesidences), this is
par~icular~y po~kenti.al.
Al~haugh the predominanf g~ntle terrain on the rzdgelands

the additiana~ ~ I3,800 homes~tes und~r maximum allowable
densities is: ~ 7000 ~o~al acres of 2~acre homesite
deve~opment (new parcels p~us develop~ent flf existing
parce~s). Addi~ional~y, the 211 acres of "Commercial"
designation w~~1 xequire considerable clearing and gradzng
£or deve~opmen~ of buildings and parking areas.
Considering the high noxmal ra~e o~ rain~a~l (60-70 ~nches
annual~y}, erosxon could become a pxoblem on the ridge
where road cufs are made and Iaxge areas are cleaxed.
Where texrain becomes ste~pex on the ridge~(x5-20~o slopes),
such as near drainages and ravines and along canyon rim~
lands, erosion poten~ial is o£ paxtYCUlar concern.
~he s~eep canyan slopes are high~y susceptible ta severe
erosion if the slopes are dis~urbed. Howevex, the pro-
posed "'~imber Mountain", "Gxazing-Open Land", artd "Public"
genexal plan categor~.~s for ~hese steeper areas would pro-
vide considerabl.e protec~ion. The propased and existing
TM-20, TM-4~, TP-~bQ, and R-C xoning districts, if maintained
in such areas, a~so affords protecta.on. Addi~ional road
and homesite developmen~ is expected to be rninimal on the
canyon lands since access capa3~~l~~y is very xest~ict~d..,~.
S~aecific locations in ~he Genera~ P].an amendment warrant
par~icular concern regarding potenfial erosion (based on
max~.mum~ allowable Gc~neral ~1an densi~Gies) :
1. Paradise Bluffs subdiva.sion (proposed Kennedy Ten~ative

Several locations propased for Agricultura2-Residential
designation warranting concexn include:
2. Jordan Hi~l Road -~+Jhi.skey ~~.at area, easf of the
Feather River [+ 160 acres o~ steep terrai~). Ar
this ~.acatian, ~evelopment on numexaus small parcels
on the 25-50o slopes wau~d create consaderab~.e erosion
and~stream sedamentation (parta.c~Iarly the Wes~ Branch

of the Feather River, Iocated immediately downslope).
Maintenance of the existing TM-ZO zoning wou~d reduce
this pote~tial.
~. Magalia Reservoir watexshed lands ~mmed~ately ~ast and
wes~ of the reservoir. Maxzmum development could.cause
sediment contamination of ~h~s domes~ic wafe~ supply.
Existxng TM~lfl zaning (and TM-5 on a s~a11 portio~), if
ma~~tained, wo~ld xeduce this impact potential.
~. The Paradise Reservoir wa~ershed Iands immedia~e~y north
an~ northwest of the lake (340+ acres). This domestic
water supply cou~d-u~t~~atexy be subjected to contamina~
tion from increased erasion. The modera~e~y gentle
terrain and ~aintenance af ~he exis~ing TM-20 zoning
reduce ~his ~mpact pot~ntial.
5. DeSabla area west of the Skyway and Understock Road.
Poxtions o£ th~s ~arg~ 200+ acre area are 1oca~ed an
moderate ~erxain (20+% s~apes} above Butte Cxeek canyon.
Main~enance of ~he existing ~M-20 zoning would reduce
this concern. ~
6. Wes~ o~ ~he Skyway opposit~ Woodward and Perry Raads.
_. This ~ 60 acre area contains moderately s~eep terrai~n
within Middle Bu~te Creek'canyan (the creek traverses
the s~te}, Maximum development in this area wauld cause
adverse sedimentation impacts on the creek from zncreased
h~~lside erosion. Th~ existing AR-MH-3 zoning, if main-
tained, h~1ps reduc~ thas patentiax.
7. Nor~hern Doon Grade Road area, 80 acres. This moderate

protects the site (surraunded by TP-150~.
S. Cou~olenc Road northeas~ of Paradise Reservoir, 80 acres.
Moderate terrain and a stream flowing direcfly inta the
reservoir cause erosion and sedimentation concerns at
this location. Maintenance o~ the exis~ing TM-5 reduces
this concexn [as wexl as ~he surrounding TP-Z60).
~• 9. A small a~ea prapased for AR on the Lit~l~ Wes~ Fork of
th~ ~eather R~vex, east a£ Coutolenc Road. This anaccessible

This canyon rim texraYn is ~isected by a tribu~ary stream of
Little Butte Gxeek and is loca~ed ups~ope from Middle Butte
~ Cre~k. Maximum development would result in severe exas~on
and But~e Creek sedimentatian. The p~oposed T~~-5 zoning
wi11 moderate thZS hazard.
~1. Wes~ of ~ndian Drive,.southwest of Magalia, + 50 acres.
Maximum development of this steeper texxain would result
in sedimentation damage ta L~~tle Butte Creek. The pro-

not ad~qua.te~y protect this canyon landscape.
Proposed zoning (including retention of many ex~st~ng zoning
dis~xicts) for ~roject area ridgelands, as well as for canyon-
lands, wi11 provide protection ~ro~ e~osian and sedimentation
a~pacts. Careful d~s~gn and construction of site improvemen~s,
utilzzing approp~iate engineering and environmental planning
, techniques, wi11 reduce these development impacts. No~e:
Large areas of the Upp~r R~dge have already been initially
~ de~eloped, caus~ng many erosian impacts to date. ~However:, .,
nat all ar~as have been ful~y built out. An estimated 30%
af exis~ing parcels have b~en developed with residences,
although most subdivi.safln roads have ~een compl~ted (ie,

Development Thxeats ~o Rare and/or Endangered Plants
Im act 9: D~velopmen~ wi~hin the projec~ area could
~ r`~eaten the continued existence of rare/endangered plant
populations (refer to page 14). Near~y the entire pro~ect
area ~s sensi~ive and po~entia~ly supports these two plant
speczes since suitable habitat exists throughout the area.
Several specific 1ocalities are known ta be pax~icula~rly
se~sitive:
a. Nimshew Ridge
b. Butte Greek canyan slopes
c. De SabZa area (narthern praject envixons above A7agalia)
Miti ations:
1. A bo~anical survey of specific development sites by a
qualified botanis~ should be cample~ed prior to appraval
of proposed developme~ts. If rare/endanger~d plan~s
are discovered, speci~ic preservation mea,sures are
_, necessary, after cansultation with a'qualifi~ed batanist. ...
2. Pro~ective measures may requixe development setbacks
from the xaxe plant areas, adoption of protective fenc~ng,
revised site desagn, provis2on of a deed easement ta the
Califoxnia Native Plan~ Society (or a~her appr~pria~e
organizatzon) etc. Typically, for ~xitillaria eastiwoodiae,
a 10-foot bu~~ex area around plant populat~ans 1s con-
sidered adequa~e.
3. Drainage pa~terns immediately uphxll from rare plant
popula~ions should no~ be disturbed.
4. Locations of rare/endangered p~ants and the surround~ng
"No Development" buffer setbacks should be indicated on
f~na1 parcel and subdivision maps.
S. Rar~ p~ant populatians should b~ c~early marked on the
ground so that construction activities do not inadverten~ly
destroy the plants.
6. The natural vegetatian immediate~y surrounding rare plant
populations shauld not be removed ar modxfied (the natural
plant communi~y and shade environment is essantial ~ox the
surviva~ of these rare plan~s).

4.2 Si naficant Adverse Im acts that Cannot be Avoided if
t e Pro~ect is Im lemented.
Lass of Ve~etation and Woodland. The cons~ruc~~on of access
roads, dxiveways, and numerous 2-a.cre homesites (an es~imated
15,900 under max~mum d~velopment potential} would resu~t in
the xemoval o~ disruption of substan~ial amaun~s of natural
vegeta~ion.
Cumulative loss of trees and woadland habitat on ~he ridge
wi11 be cansidexab~e if area grow~h is sustained. The Town
of Paradise land area has.already been completely modified,
develaped with suburban uses, even ~haugh some forest charac~er
has been retained. This cumulative Ioss of woodland and open
land cauld total 8000 acres (400 of the project area). This
accurrence would al~ast completely mo~ify the r~dg~'s natural
forested character, althaugh considerable poxtions have a~ready
been alter~d (Paxad~se P~nes deve~opmen~ a~ ~200* 1ots, many
o~ wh~ch axe yet ~o be developed with resi~ences -~.e. many~
tr~es have yet ~a be xemove~).
Partial Mit~ga~ions:
l. Main~ain suitable large-parcel zaning where environ-
~ _. mental limitations ex~st, rathex than alXowing maximum
densities undex pxoposed GeneraX ~~an land use categaries.
2. Overstory trees should ~e preserved, ~xc~pt where actual
physc~a~ cons~xuc~ian is require~.
Loss of Wild~ife and Habitaf. Although most areas of the
Faxa Yse R~dge na langer provade importan~ key wild~ife habi~a~
(exc~pt in ~he northern project area, as well as on undeveloped
canyon lands), wildlife is neverth~l~ss abundan~ on the ridg~.
~urther area development and grawth on the Upper Ridge will
continue to increas~ wild~x£e/human popula~ion conflicts.
Resident wildlife papulations wi11 decline as a resu~t of in-
creased urban encxaachments, increase~ traffic hazaxds, in-
creased ~raffic and area noise, dirt ~ike act~vx~y, harassment
~rom pe~s, and other dis~urbances. Some anxma~s wi11 reloca~e
~a nearby undis~urbed habitat; others will d~e as a result of
direct conflicts ar lack of available ha~itat. Free-raaming
dogs (~ypical of rural residen~ial areas) will increase wild-
life predation and other dzs~urbances as densities increase.
Under max~mum developmen~, wildlife habitat ~n ~he De Sab~a
area and ~n the Jaxda~ Hi11/Whiskey ~~at area east of the
Feather River wi11 be severely r~duced on those lands pxaposed
~or Agriculturai Residential Ian~ uses (1-acre densities
59
a~~owable). A 1e~ter from the Gali~oxn~a Department of
Fish and Game (Appendix 5) underscores this potential im-
pac~. Maintenance of ex~st~ng T~1-20 zon~ng Would protec~
this r~so~x~e. With ~ncreased development in these laca~ities,
mzgratory deer populat~ons (wh~ch ~avor ~idgelands £or
migratory corridors) wix~ con~znue ~o decline. The migxatory
deex herds which once frequenced the Pa~adise Ridge wil~ be
de£~ec~ed further north away ~ram the pxo~ec~ area. Howev~r,.
the more inaccessible ~acations (outlying radg~~ands and
canyan ~ands) w~X~ confinue to provide good habi~a~.
Siltat~an incxeases in~o area creeks and canyon streams is
no~ probable i~ ~he proposed prot~c~xve ~an~ use designations
and zon2ngs are es~ablished and ma~n~ained in those ar~as.
However, any si~~a~ian incr~ases wauXd have an adverse i~pact
upon fish popu~at~ons ~n area wa~ercourses, inclu~xng Lake
Oroville, located just outs~de ~he project area, sou~h of the
Feather River.
Par~ial Mitigations ~hat coul~ he~p ~educe som~ impacts znclude:
1. Establ~sh and maintain appropriate.large ~ot xoni~g
(as proposed}.
2. Modify the pxoposal i~ the De Sab~a area (curren~ly
propos~d fox Agricult~ral-Residentia~) ~a pe~~i~ only
~arge parce~s (20-acre minimum).
3. Res~xic~ vege~atian remova~, par~icularly riparian
hab~~a~ a1o~g creeks. Prese~.ve vegetation and ~orest
areas wherever poss~b~e.
4. Provide (r~qu~xe) development setbacks ~rom s~reams.
5. The undevelopable canypn slo~es and oth~~ more isola~ed
areas should be managed to increase th~~r carrying
capacity for varxo~s game and non-ga~e wxld~zfe species
to provxde additional habi~at fox disp~aced w~ldli~e.
6. ~~ncing shouZd be restric~ed. Perime~er fe~cing shau~d

~re~ deex mavement ta oc~ux. Barrier ~encing shouxd not
be use~ except to enc~ase zmmediate yards or garde~ areas.
7. Erosian control measures should be impZemented {refer to
the Eros~~n impacts sec~ion). . ~
8. Estab~~sh a~d mai~ta~n 20-ac~e minimum paxcel size zoning

I~~roductian. The a~a~ysis of a~r quality impacts xn this
report ~s ased upon data derived fram a vaxiety of local
and s~ate gov~rnment sources. Three principal emissions from
mobile sources (veh~cles) were a~alyzed. These include:
total arganic gases (TOG), car~on monoxide {CO) and oxides
of nitroge~ (N0~).
Ofher m~bzle emissions, such as sulfur dioxide (S02} and
lead (PB) are frequently not available in standard emissions
xeports, and have ther~fare been omi~~ed fxam the presen~
discussian, Fo~ the same xeason, data on s~spended particu-
lates have nat been included here.
Methodolo y. This ana~ysis follows ~he methodalogy se~
arth in California Air Resources Board Repoxt, "Procedures
and Basis for Estimating on Road Motax Vehxcle E~issiQns"
(1980). The vehicle males traveled (~M~) approach is used
to det~xmane total mabil~ source emissions whzch couXd re-
sult ~rom project imp~ementation. Factors involved in fhxs
approach anclude total project-generated vehicle miles
traveled (AbVMT) and a composite em~ssian factor (CEF} which
. is represen~ative o~ the vehicu~ar mix o~ the area. Results
are in the form a£ average daily emissions £ar TOG, CO and
NOX.
Tota1 vehicle miXes traveled {ADVMT) is based upon ~he
estimated number of avexage daily trips (ADT) generated
fox each land use categoxy and average trip 1e~gth (ATL}

The est~mate for the average trip 1eng~h in the Parad~se
urban area is 3.5 m~les. The average number o~ daily
trips per household amounts ~0 9.
An estimated ~3,097 dwe~~ing uni~s now exist wzthin the
project site.* Approxima~e~y 61,114 dwe~~ing units exis~
~n the County. Overall population and housing growth
estimates are d~picted in Ta~les 3 and 4. If the pro-

Vehicular emissions [TOG and CO) shaw a sligh-~ decla.ne

increases over 1980 levels, their ratio to overall Gaunty
1evels increase by Iess than three percent (from 12.57o ta

Since fu11 buildout would not occur for several decad.es,
projec~ed vehicle emission Ievels beyond. the yeax 2000 are

Visual. Retention o~ 1.arge port~ans of the project site
in Tam"ber Moun~ai.n, Public and Graza.ng and O~en Land land
use categori.es would maintain much of ~he visua]. qua~.ity
z.n the area; ~'urthermore, much of the proposed develo~ment
w2I~ occur under the Agra.cu.ltu~al-Residential desa.gna~ion,
at very low densita.es (see Table 2).
Land Use.. While some incompatibilities among differ~n~
land uses are unavoidable, ~he proposed project wou1~ mini-
mize cextiain conflicts. Open areas adjoin low ta very' 1ow
dens~ty residential uses, and very litti~ (less than 1.5
~excent) of the project site is proposed ~or cammercia~
development. Planned commercial areas are primarily con£ined
to the Skyway, and no in~.dus~t~ial land uses have been ~ro-
posed,
Enexgy Use. Mos~. bu~ldaut in ~he Upper Ridge area would be
~ocated ~ive to eight miles ~rom retaa.~. shopping staxes in
Parad~se. Uppex Ridge resa.dents wauld no~ ~ike~y commute
ta Oravi~~.e or Chico ~ar xoutine ~ood, vehicle and hausehold
needs. Major purchases, howevex, woulc~ more probably accur
in one of those ~.wo valley towns. Far the~e reasons, energy
use from vehicles is not ~xpected to b~ excessive. xncreased
elec~rical and natural.or propane gas use wi1l a~.so occur as
a result of buildout. Demand should be commensur~te wa.t•l~.
ather low density xesidential areas.
T~Vatex Quality_ - Reservo~.rs . Storm runoff from residenti.al
axeas along the southea~~. shore of Magalia Reservoir, and
various prop~rt~.es surrounding Paradi.se Lake may contribute
a slight amount.af sediment and/or poll~tants ta the reservoirs.
Setback requirements, ex~.st~ng zones having laxge mi.nimum
parcel sizes, and terxain ~hat slopes away from the resexvairs
in many pera.metex locations would xeduce or e1im~.na~e runoff
hazaxds.
Loss o~ Key Wildlife Habitat. Development o~ ~he project
area will reduce the cax~rying capacity o~ wildlife habi.ta~
and ~ncrease exist~.ng wildlife/residen~.ial deve~opmen-~ con-
£lic~s. Histora.ca~ly, the Paradi.s~ Ridge was impoxtan~ key
wildlife habxta~.. However, th~ majority of ridgeland a~eas
are no ~onger considered impox~.an~. critical habita~t from a
rega.onaJ. perspective because of past ar~a development (ex-
cessive habitat loss, wildlife encroa~hments, harassment).
(R~~ex to page 14 0~ the Envi~onmental. Set~ing, and fo
Ca~ifornia Departmen~ of Fish and Game ASBI maps). ~xceptions
~o ~his include the De 5abia area and the eastern Feather
River canyon.
68
The rema~ning habitat value o~ the area will b~ ~uxther
reduced as area growth continues. Gumulative impacts o£
develap~ent and ~ncreas~d wildl~fe/human popuXation con-
~licts wzlx cause addi~ianal wildXife habi~a~ 1oss.
The noxthern area of ~he project [De Sab1a environs) re-
~ains some good habitat value. Likewise, the canyon axeas
are largely undistur~ed, with suitable habztat ~~ali~y
(although the mxgratary deex popuXations pxe~er ridgelands).
Almos~ the e~tiire canyon terrain and large areas af th~
norfhern r2dge area are proposed for TM, GOL, or Publ~~
land use categories (requiring large parcels). Such ~and
use designat~ons w~i~~ pxovade habitat ~ro~ection of these
axeas. A~sa, many o~ ~he proposed AR lands have existing
laxge-paxcel zoning, or are proposed for such zoning (TM-20,
TM-40, TP-160).
However, two major areas o~ concexn ~rom a habi~at perspective,
proposed ~or AR d~s~gnation which would permit small par~el
land ~se, include:
1. The De Sabla ax~a, north o~ De Sabla Reservoir.
2. The Jordan H~11 -.Whiskey F1at area in the Feather
_, River canyon. ~.
A~pe~dix 5 contains a~ettex £xam ~he California Department
of Fash and Gam~ Expressxng this concern. Maintenance o~
the ex~st~ng ~M-20 zonxng would reduce this impact.
Lass of Poteritaal Timber Lands. MDSt of th~ ~axadise Ridge
has sui~able environmental conditions for the pro~uction o~
commercial ~i~ber {good soil, terra~n, and clima~ic condit~ans).
~he prapasal will impose restxicfions on ~he majority o~
project lands for comm~xcial ~imber pro~uction. However,
most of the area's timbex production value has a~xeady been
severeZy reduced from exis~ing residential development or
numerous parcel ~~visions.
Exposure to Natura~ Hazaxds. Some residents and property
would be exposed ta x~sks or hazards from landslides, ex-
pansive soi~ behavior, subsidenc~, ox eax~h movement. ~andW
s~ide or other mass movem~nt hazards exist on the steeper
slopes. These natuxaX canyon hazards could be increased i~
soil stabili~y is reduced by grad~ng an slopes and co~s~ruction
activity. Conformance to local and sta~e buildi~g codes,
careful site design and ~ons~ruction, and implementataon o~
proper erosion contxa~ techniques during cons~ruction wi11
reduce these hazards. ~

Threats ta Rare/Endan ered Wildlife. The pro~ect area 35
not ~ e~tified as important a ztat for k~own rare or en~
dangered wildlife species. However, the area ~s adjacent
to Lake Orov~lle, impoxtant ba~d eag~e winter habz~at.
~roject lands in ~his ne2ghborhood are propose~ for pro-
~ective land use designa~ions and zoning districts (4Q-acre
minimum parcels}, reducing project impacts.
4.4 Cumulative Impac~s. The following site specific impacts,
discussed in earlier sections, are also considered cumulative
in nature. They include air Quality (Section 4.3), hydrolagy
(Sections 4.1 and 4.3), acaustics (Sections 4.~ and 4.3),
circulation (Section 4:I), education [Sec~ion 4.1), erosion
(5ection 4.1) and vegetation/habitat (Section 4.2). Increases
in demand ~ox pub~ic sexvices and associated costs would
c~mula~ively impac~ the Sheriff's Department, health caxe
provision, utility extensions and raad ma~ntenance. These
latter cumulative impacts are potent~al~y significant, de-
pending upon pap~~ation gxawth, service standards and
pXanned expansion of services in the project area.
4.5 Growth I~ducemen~. Since most grawth in the project area
wil~ occux as housing developme~t, residential bu~ldout is
ex~ected to induce on~.y a modest increase in the retail
ser.v~ce sector, primari~y locat~d a~ong the Skyway. Rugged
mountainous terrain and a~imited amaunt af space for suitable
~ building sites wi~1 ~u~ther restrict grow~h in the area.

Convexsion o~ Natura~ Areas to Urban Uses. The proposed
~roject woul des~gna~e severa~ t ousan acres in the Upper
Ridge area as sui~a~le for xesident~al deve~opment at lawer
densiti~s. (Only 35 acres are proposed £ar MDR housing, and
none £or HDR categories.) Cvmmercia~ land uses Wo-u1d occupy
~~55 than I,5 pexcent of the total project acreage. The
prajec~ affe~s the palpab~e advantage, hawever, ~f reserving
more than 11,OD~ acr~s (59 percen~) of the project land in
Timber Mauntain, Gxaz~ng and Open Land and Public land uses.
6.0 ANY SIGNIFICANT IRREVERS~BL~ ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES WHICH
WOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE PRO~OSED PROJECT SHOULD TT BE
IM~LEMENTED
Aesthetics, The conversian of natural environments to urban
uses is rarely revexsed. A~thaugh substant~al ~andscaping
may mitiga~e ~his effec~ to some ex~ent, the subs~i~utxon o~
exotic plants and trees for na~ive species is not considered
equivalent replac~ment.

xare Y1~nT.5. rro~ect ~ulldout may ~~. ~troy rare/endangered
plant pt, :~~lations, wh~.ch are highly~:;~ asceptible to dis-
turbance; extirpation fro~n the region is a risk. Since
many rare plan~s potentialJ.y pxovide ~zseful a.n bi.ologaca~.
research, or have practical appl.ication ~n ~h~ devel.opmen~
of consumer commodi~ies, loss of a plant species would
farev~r remove that potential.
Geology. Unic~ue geologic farmations, formed over a period
of centuries, may be d.is~urbed, or i~ some instances destroyed
by surraunding urban development.
Archaeology. Disturbed or destrayed archaeological s~.tes
result in the permanent Ioss of historic and preh~xstoric
an~armatian. Alfhough known and newly discovered sites may
be protected for study, other sites may be inaclvertently
disturbec~ o~ removed.
7.0 ALTERNA'~IVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
7.1 No Project. The No~Project alternativ~ waul.d ~eave the
cxzst~ng Genexa]. Plan designatzans and zones for the Upper
R~.dge area in~ac~.. This op~ion would result in far greater
urban development in ~.he ~rojec~ site, and i.~crease the s~.ze
and densi.ties of the future popu~.ation in the a~ea. This
consec~~ence would resu~~ in a substantial increase in ~he
number of sagnificant adverse effects to the environment,
and a probable increase in their severity. Moreover, many
designated Iand uses in the current Genexal. ~'~.an do not
realistically address limitatzons o£ tQpogxaphy, circulation
netwaxks, or availa~i~ify of a~equa~e public services. And
fa.nally, exis~.ing 1and.uses in the,project site do nat
su~'..£iciently reflect General P1an d•esignat~ons, nor do zo~es
sa~isfactorily represent those land ust;s.
7.2 Reduc~ Land Use Tntensity. A greater amount of open space
could e incorporate in~o the proposal, th~.s pxeserving more
of -~he natural environment. Tha.s goal must be weighed agains-~
exa.sta.ng condit~ans, -where large numbers of parcels have
alrea~y been developed in the project si.te; that deveZapment.
shauld be recognized. Tn order to preserve natura~ ~reatures
and the axea's xural mountain character where possa.bl.e, ~he
prapase~. General Plan amendment substantially reduces resi-
den.tial densa.ties co~ta~.ned in ~he current Land Use EJ.emen~,
wh.ile d.ecreasing the amount o~' land assigne~. to GOL, TM and
~ublic categoxies by 20 percent. '~he "~rade-off" allows
670 of projected gxow~.h to be directed into an Agxicultural-
Resa.den~.ial classifica~~.on, w~th mast o~ the rema.inder pro-
posed for a LDR category. The tremendous 2ncrease in A-R
acreage contained a.n the p~'oposed projec~ represenfs an
acceptab~e stratcgy ~or mainfaining large portians of existing
vegetation ~.ntact a.n xesidential areas.
7.3 Increase 0 en S ace Throu h Residential Clustexin . The
Planned Axea C~uster PA-C zone perma.ts the
constructi.an o£ c1us~.ered housing, which ~sua~ly preserves
7 ~.
a greatex area of open space than ~aund in conventional
site d~51~~5. Whi1e this aX~ernative has the xdvantage
of pxeserving more o~ the natural habitat, many pexsons
find the design incompatib~e with thezr desixe for separate
living areas with greater privacy and exclusive use o~ an
ind~vidually owned parce~. C~ustered housing fl£~en includes
at ~eas~ o~e att~ached (shared) wall in the dwelling or
garage.
7.4 Reduced A ricultu~al-Reside~t~a1 Acrea e in Remote
Mountaxnous Te~rain. Ap~roxima~ely 160 acres a~ land
esignated Agricultural-Residen~ial in th~ praject proposal
loca~ed on the slopes east of the West Branch of the
Feather River, have very few suata~le building sites.
Jordan Hill Road, a rugged, fwis~ing unimproved xoad,
provides access to this acreage. Slopes xange from 25
perce~~ to 50 percent, with an avexage gradient a~ 3a
percent: Mas~ of ~he area is undeveloped.
Due to ~he remoteness of this acreage, ~im~ted access and
rugged ~errain, perpetuat~on of the existing Timber-
Mountain designation f~r this land would appear a more
appropriate land use than Agracul~ural-Resident~al. The
genera~ area surrounding the subject 160 acres is currently
des.ignated Tamber-Mountain and Public. Both a~ t~hese
class~~ications present the 'advantage of preserving Zarge
amounts of open space in a mountainous area for future
recreatia~al and aes~he~ic uses.
7.5 Permanenf Retention of Pro osed Zones. Under the zoning
propose for t~ pra~ect s~te, poten~ial buildout would be
much more curtaiXed than allowed under maximum densz~ies
for proposed residential land use categor~es. An estima~ed
5,080 p~rsons reside in the Upper Ridge area in approximately
~ 2,160 dwel~ing units. These units represen~ an est~mated
one-third a~ exis~i~g parcels a~proved for development
(~.e., a total of 7,200 parcels have been a~proved ~or
residantial consfruction}. Undex proposed pra}ect zones~
another 1,00a dwelling units may be built, yie~ding a~ota1
of 8,200 units.
Based an propased land use cat~goxies in the General P1an
revisian, maximum potential buildout wauld permit the
exec~ian a~ ~~5,90b dwelling units. Adop~ion and re~ention
of proposed zones that would a11ow the construction of only
8,200 dwelling ~nits amaun~s ~o s~ightly mare than 51% of
the theoretica~ maximum number under proposed land use
categories. ~

Dear Mr. Ne~son:
Thank you for ~t~e opportunity ~o review and comment on the NOP
for ~he Paradise IIpper Ridge and Lime Sadd~e Cammuni~y Ser~rice
D~.strict General P1an Amendment for about 30 square miles in
~utte County (SCH 81020322). The Department reco~mends ~he
fo~lowing pot~n~ial project impac~s be acldressed in the E~R:
l. Impacts on watersheas, wa~e~ qual~~.y, and aq~aa~ic
habitats ca-~~~d by drai.nage, flood control projects,
and impervious sur~aces.
2. Loss of endangered, rare, or sensi~ive pl.ant and
wil.dlife species which occur ~n ~.he area.
3. The use.o~ large pazcel zon~ng ~o m~.tigate impac~s
on wildl.i~e.
4. Specific mitiga~.~.on measures ~n areas of deer ~ange
should inc].ude:
a, A 20-acre minamum pa~c~~. size (40--acre minim~m
parcel size ~or key win~er ~ange).
b. Perim~~e~ fencing be limited to three or four
strands of barbwire allowing ~ree deer movemen~
to accur. Barrier f~ncing (i.e., hogwi.re, boa~d,
or"~corral ~ype) sha11 no~ be used as a perime~er
~ence exc~pt to enclose the immediate yard or
garden area.
5. Alteration of riparian vege~atian shoul.d be ~.imited
to the minimum necessary ~oa~ s~ream crossing.
Mr. Ea~l D. Ne~son -2- March 5, 198~
6. A IOQ~~aot buffer or no bui~ding setback ~rom each

The Calitorn3a Uepartment of Forest~y and Butte Coun~y' Fire Depar~men~ have
~viewed your proposed general p7.an change for this area and have the follawing
comments: ~ '
1. ~'a~re Pzotection: Zncrease in ~he housi.ng density in the northern part of
the proposed GPA by allowing for changes to zones.at sma3.ler parcels causes
~.x~,Creased ~nC~.dents, more hazard creation, and higher risk of f~.xe.
a. More parcels allows fox ~or~ res~.dences and pea~le.~a move inta the
wi~.d~and areas withau~ adequate fi~e protection s~,andards. More servicas,
(~..e~.) mad3.cal aid calls, stru~tu~e and wildland fires, and public
ass~sts ~ca'ill ensue. This w3.11 increase costs.
b. AZlowing hfgher density wi.~.I cause fhe creation of more fire hazard
situations, (i.e.) Iot c~earin.g, debr~.s burning, ec~uipment use.
c. Higher densi.ty means more peop~,e in or ac~jacent ~o wildland areas.
Higher popu~ations have a direct ~ncrease relat3.onship to tl~e xxumbe~ of
~ire sta~~s. This impac~s both w3~.dland az~.d loca~. f~.re protec~ion by
(1) 3ncreasing calls, and, (2) compounding control affox~s.
2. Resource Management: Increasing densi~~.es and dacreas3.ng parcel size has
~he ~ollawing negative effects on.the northern portion of the a~fec~ed area.
a. Gxading far 3.ots, access roads and improvemen~s 3.ncreases soi7. eros3.on
and changes natural drainage patterns. Th~s causes an increase ~~x the
~ree insec~ and disease problems due ~o disturbance.
b. Changes species compos3tion of natural f].oxa by introduct3on of exotic
(non--native) speci.es of pla~ts and ~rees.
c. Sign~.ficantly reduces (in the ~.o~g xu~z) the availabl.e acreage for timber
produc~ion, thereby affec~ing a major agx~cultural crop of this axea.

A review of the development potential in t~~e project area has shown th at
up to 900 parcels cauld be created su~sequenti to t~~e rezone. Assuming
each of the parcels developed at an average density o£ 2,3 persons per
~ausehald, 2070 p~ople would be a~ded ta the axea. The terrain is a

DISCUSSIO~ OF ENV~RONM~iNT~L EVALUATIO~ (cantinued)
22b: The proposa~ as a whole (General P1an llmendment and Rezane) is an
~mprovement over the existin~ ~,anci Use ~4a~ fox the Paradise I~rea. The
medium density residenti.al in ~I~e Paradi.se Pines area is propased for a
Low Density Residential designation and lar~e acreages near ~.ne A1agalia
anc~ Paradise Peservoirs are praposed for ~. ~.and use designatian o~
Public.
Three areas o~ po~ential cancern (see items 8a,b) are tne Jordan Fi~.ll
Raad area anc~ the areas ~a the ~i.-v.E, af ~he two reservoirs. From an
initial evaiuatian~ it a.s recomriende~. that alternativ~ land use d~sigations
{ancl zoning} be considered in these areas. In re~.atian to the two res- ~
ervoi.rs, P~iii Ke~.ly, i~Ianager o~ P.~.D, commen'ted that efforts had been
made by the ~lanning Com~iss~on. pro~osal to insure that the watershed
areas were pxotected. A~u~fer axea desi~nated as Publzc an the N.E.
side o~ the l~~agalia Reservoir and an enlarged area of the Pub~.ic desig-
nation on the N.E . s~c~e of the Paraclise P.eservoir (perhaps up to the
n~ar~y sectxon of Coutalenc Roac~) may be a resonable al.ternativ~;.
22c: The pb~entially significant impacts on a cumulative basis are
those marked with a"mayhe" or "yes" response in tlae checklis~.
~t should be nated that each parcel map, subdivision map, use permi~,
ox other such lan d use proposal,will be subject ta review by the
appropr~ate Butte County departments and state agenci~s . The ~f~ec~s -•
of each pxoject will be addressed more clearly with a speci~'ic propo~al

Recommendations
It is recommended tha~:
l. 7'h~ Paradise Irrigation District {PID) confi~n and
refine ~he hydralogic balance of the Parad~se and Ma~al~a
Reservoixs to ascertain ~~ ~arge amounts of water are being
lost ~xom s~orage in Magalia ~esexvoir, Th3s coul~ be ac-
complis~ed by u~i~iz~ng the existin~ measura.ng weir above
Maga~ia Reservoir and ~nstalZ~ng new measuring stations on
{a~ L~tt~e Butte Creek abo~re and closer to Parad~se R~ser-
voir than the one used ~ox ~his study; (b) Mosquito Creek;
and (c) Fir Haven Cxeek.
~_ .
" PID conduct an opera~ional stuci.y of ~he two areserw
voir,~, ~.rith ~h~ ob,~ective af for~:stalling or lessening '~he
possibi~i~y af algal producti.vi~y probZems. ~'his study
should i.nclude the e~fec-ts of.ins~a~latzon and use of
mul~ipie~~evel outlets an both reservoixs.
3. PIU moni-tor the nitrogen and phosphorus concentra-
~ions af the surfac~ and bottom waters of the -two xeservoirs
on a b~month~y basis duxing March, Apri~, and May to c~eter-
ma.ne if these nutrien~s are increasing in ~the reser~roir
waters. ~
4~. PSD manitar the volu~nes of phytoplankton, thraugh-
out the watex co~umn on a bimonthly basis,during March,
April, and May to d~termine zf the bioZogical produc-~ivity
in t}~ese twa reservoirs is increasing.
5. PID update and, evaJ.ua~e the basic water quality
infox~mation in this repor-t every 5 years, or as soon as the
tota~. population on ~he wa~ershed reaches ~he predicted
levels expec~teci to cause probl~[ns . This would allow the
Aistri,ct to determixze or de~ec-t a buildup of adverse condi-
tions that would af~'ec~ ~ts water su~p~.y and ta initiate
corrective measures before a problem occurs.
6. Bu'tte Cour~ty con'~~.nue ~a enforce regu~.ations re--
g,uiring at least 50 ~'ee~ of leach ].~.ne for each bedroom in
a home, and that re~ulations be adopted ~'ar (1) prohiba.fi.~ng

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The traffic impacts were not completely ass~ssed concerning the
two--lane poxti.on of State Route I.9~ . The report should also
add~-ess impacts to the Skyway Tnterchange at Highway 99.
DEPARTPIEN~' OF FZSH AND GAMF
The department reco~nmends that the proposed mita.gation zneasures

established along.watexways, buf~e~ zo~es to pratect endangered
or rare plants, and large parcel zaning to be estab~zshed in and
a-~ the edge of canyQns.
When preparing ~he final EIR, you must ~nc~ude all com~ne~ts and
~esponses (ETR Guidelines, Sect.ion .~5146). The ce~ti~ied EIR
must be considered a.n the decisior~-mak.ing process ~ar the project.
In addition, we urge yau to respond direct~.y to the agencies'
comments by writing to them, includzng the State Clearinghouse
number or~ aZI correspondence.
Sectian 1.5002 (f) o~' th~ CEQA Guide~ines requzres that a go~rern-

Th~ Department of Fish anc3 Game has reviewed ~.he Draft EIR for
Parac~ise Uppe~ Ridge General Plan Amendment and Reaone and finds
it adequate in its treatment o~ the fish «nd wildlife resources.
The subject pro3ec~ encompasses 30.4 square miles nor~h of the

The Department recQmmends the proposed mitigat~.an measures in the
subject report be adopted as a condition of coe~nty approval to
pro~v~.de pro~ect~on for the £ish and wildlife reso~rces. The foZlowing
m,itiga~ion concerns are especi.al~y emphasiz~d:
~. Establishment of 20-acre minimum par.c~ls zn the De Sabla
area to p~atect migratory dee~ and the spotted owl.
2. A.~00-faot ~treamside bu~fer non-structure zone be
e5tablzshed a3~ong wa~erways to protect riparian habitat
and water quality.
3. Buffer zones to protect endangered or rare p~ants should
be establzshed.

District a3 has revi.et~ed the draft EIR for the genera~ plan
amendments in the Paradise Upper Ridge and Lime Saddle area.
The traffic impacts on State P.oute 19 ~. are not ~omp~etely
assessed, particularly with respect ~o the two-lane portaon
of the State highway. The chart on page 50 shaws that the
Hi~hway 1.91 {Ciark Road~/Pearson Road in~ersection could have
a leve~. of service of C/D after maxirnum buildout of the pro~ect
area. 'I'his ~.eve1 of servi.ce is based on a four-lane facility,
How~ver, this is only a two-lane in~ersection. The four--~.ane
section of Clark Road does not Y~egin ur~~i3 past Bus~ma.n Road,
appro~imate~.y a quar~ew--mi? ~ so~.th of the in~ersection. The
two-lane section do~s not have the abi~.ity to handle the vol-
umes as predicted.
The report shou~d also address impacts to the Skyway In~erchange
at Hig~ray 99 ,

~nvironmen~a~ Review Director's Res onse: Comments
clarifying ~he traf~ic conditions and poten~ial zmpac~s
a~ the intersection o~ Highway 19I (Clark Road) wYth
Pearson Rflad are correc~. The draf~ EIR does note in
~he traffic anaiysis dxscussian in 5ec~~an 4.1: Signi~ican~
Adverse Tmpacts and Mztiga~ion_.Measur~s, tha~ 1~vels of
serv~ce would be worse than indica~ed where road widths
narrow and the ang~~ of curve radii increases (reducing
sight distance and saf~ travel speed). Levels of service
<
wo~ld, of course, subs~an~~al~y decline far ~-~ane roads
where they narrow ~0 2 ianes.
There may be project xmpacts on ~he Skyway Interchange,
since Skyway is the primaxy traffic corridor between Chico
a~d ~h~ Paradise area. However, a ra~her detai~ed analysis
of des~inations and origins wou~d be requ~red to accurately
assess project impac~s as a propor~ion of total traffic
passing through the In~erchange. Many residents wha re-
side in ~he Paradise ax~a may choose other routes to reach
State Highway 70 or Oroville. Some undoubtedly will con-
fine their trips to Paradise and wou~d never reach the
Highway 99 intersection. The directional compositio~ o~
new tra£~ic volumes generated by th~ praposed pxoject would
be~l.ifficul~ ta ascer~ain withaut substantial research. This
is beyond the s~ope of this ~nvironmental Zmpact Repart.
The prepa~ation of a comprehensive circulation plan that
addxesses future garwth and solutions to potentia~ pro~~ems
would be the logica~ d~cument addressing similar traf£ic
cancerns throughout ~utte Cau~ty.

Dear Earl:
In review~.ng th3s ~IR we fe~t ~ha~ i~ shou~.~. address the
tatal risks to ~eople ~ha,t ~'o~low developmen.t and urban:iza~ion.
Whz~e water supp~.y,sewage an.d garbage are cove~ed, we did no~
see anyth~ng on mosquitos or o~her axth~opod pests.
I h~.ve urged ~hat a public heal~h element be prepared~for
the general plan. It daes~not seem ~oa efficient to try and wri~e
i~ piec~ by p~ece iu rezaning cansidera~ions..
0~ specif~,c concez~ wi~h ft2.~ther urba.~a~za~~on in ~he
foothill. areas is the high r~.sk of ~ree hole mosqui:tos~ (Aedes
s3.errenszs) which are na~urally presen~, a.nd which on1.y become
a pest when people try ~o live near where they breed. ~ree ho~.e
mosquytos are apparently a v~~r~good vec~or of Dag Heartwo~m,
wi~h our best es~ima~e of dog.anfectian ~. the Paxadise area
about 50~. Treatmen~ and prever3.tion of these ~worms a.s ~c~st~.y,
and preven~ion requ~res daily medicata.an at a~a.y ~i~e mosqu3~os
are p~ese~t.
Ou.r fur3.ds and capac~~y to control the mosquztas does ~no~
~crease nea.rly as rapid~.y as the an~icipatec~ demand. for se~rice
fxam people ruov~nng ir~to tY~e~r moun~ain areas. Fiear-~ •warm 3s .~not
high risk ~~'or humans, . axid we are prepared -~fl ~tolerate even higher
~popula~ions of Aedes in, order~~o be able to use our limited
resources ~o work an the o~h~r less prevalent specxes o~'
~mosqui~os in this area which vector hwnan di.sease, par~icularly
encephalitis.
~f ~he pop~la~ion which is expec~ted to come ~n.to ~his area
is ~.axgely al.der re~ired people,.we see an increase risk of Sai~.t
Zouis E~cepha~.ita.s, a aisease wh3ch seems~to be mare severe on
o~.der people .
, . ~2~ , ..
Yellow ~acke~s a~e an.o~her po~ential risk to peaple who
inva~e this area, and we can not even ~ry to con~rol ~hem.
I reaTly don~t know what you can do w~~h ~h~s speczfic
,infarm~tian, except ta make it a.ma~~er of reca~d. This iss~e
really merz~s a mare comprehensive review, as pax~ of ~he gEneral
plan, ~n ordEr to es~ablish some overals s~a~.dards o~ risk ta
all the Couuty res~den~s. If yo~ want ~o pursue this idea, we
reac~y to help .

indica~or would occur ~n storm runof~ that passes ~F~rough developed areas,
particularly during dry manths." °5tarm runoff" arid "dry man~hs" are incongruous
and the state~ner~t needs clarificatian.

ing that ~he effects of iand use upon water q~ality is ~n fact an abj~c~ive af ~
