1VHEREAS, The existi.ng Paradise Area Land Use Plan predates the
consistency requi.rement of the Government Code (~565860) and fails to
re~lect the existing and d~sirable future land use pattern in the
Paradise and Upper Ridge area; and
l~HEREAS, Th~ Butte County Land Use Element contains polica.es
which encourage orderly urban expansion, promote in~'il~ and balance
urban development with physical and circulation cons~raints; and
~4FIEREAS, the Butte County Planning Commission has held hearings
on the Paradise Area Land Use Plan at which all interested persons were
heard and after careful study recommends the adoption of the Paradise
Area Land Use Plan; and
~VHPREAS, The Board of Supervisors has considered the contents
of the Environmental Imgact Report prepared for the Paradise Area Land
Use Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit B, including the significant impacts,
mitigation measures and alternatives described within the document,
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act; and
bVH~REAS, a private person {Lawrence F-[ammons) has petitioned
the Planning Commission and Soard of 5upervisors, through an appxopriate
application, to amend that portion of the Butte County Genexal Plan known
as the Orovilie Area Land Use Plan for a change from Low Density Resi~
dentia3. to Industrial for that property identified on Exhibit C, attached
hexeto; and
1NIiEREAS, the Butte County Planning Commission has held hearings
on the General Pian Amendment requested by Lawrence Hammons at which a11
interested persons were heard and a£ter careful study recommends the
adopti.on of the proposed Am~ndment; and
~VHEP~EAS, the Butte County Soard of Supervisors has considered
the contents o£ the Tnitial Study (Environmental CheckJ.ist-Appendix F)
-1-
and Negative Declaration for the proposed amendment as decribed above
attached hereto as Exhibit D, pursuant to the California Environmental
Quaiity AGt; and
k4Ei~REAS, the Butte County ~oard of Supervisors has held hearings
on the revised Paradise Area ~and CJse P~an and General Plan Amendment

1.0 GENERA.~ INTRODUGTx~N
The Butte County Pl~nning Cammission has propased a General
Plan Amendme~~ a~d Rezone far appraximately 30.4 square miles
(~9,500 acres) in the Upper Ridge area north o£ fhe Town of
Paradise. 'An Estima~ed 900 acres in the Lime Saddle area,
which were inc~uded under land use amendmen~s in the original
pxoposai, were recently adopted. Praposed rezones are com-
patible with the adopted land ~se ca~egories, and are not
st~daed in this dacumen~; they generally xe~lec~ existing land
uses.
Although mos~ of ~he Upper Ridge praject lies west of the Wes~
Branch of the Feather River~ pOT~10~5 overlap ~he ~roposed re-
zone for the Concow area east of the river.
Proposed land use designations in the Genera~ P1an Amendment
~nc~ud~ Grazing and Open Land, Timber Mountain, Low Densaty
Residen~ial, Medium Densi~y Residen~ial, Commex~ial, Public
and Agricultural Residential. The proposa~ would conver~ A-2,
A-2 Ltd., AR-MH-3, R-I and S-H to TM-1, T~~I-2, T~~-5, TM~40,
FR-S, ~R-40, H-C, C-C, C-2, 5R-1, R-C, P-Q, RT-l, ~9H~, AR-hiH-~,
AR-A4H~3 and A-40. Descriptions of ~hese ~and use des~agnations
and zones are provided in Appendices 1 and 2.
The following figures, pxojections and analyses are premised on
the most intense land uses a~lowable un~er proposed land us~
categories. Although propased zo~es wou~~ mitigate the severity
af impacts and li~it growth in the area, future rezones to al~ow
greater comm~rcia~ actavity or higher density residentia~ develop-
ment may event~al~y occux. The EIR th~xe~axe poses a"worst't
case candi~ion for considerafion.

1.1 SUAi~~ARY OF IMPAC`~S
The followin,g summary identifies Ympacts ta the en.viranrr~ent
from ~he pro.posed project tha~ are conside~ed significa.nt
and adverse.- Certain impacts are considered mitigable to
a degree tha't would reduce their potential occurrence to'a
level o~ a.nsignificance. Others are only partially mitigable,
and wau1~ remain signi£i,Can~. Signi.ficant advers~ impac~s
that are cu~-u~.ative, unavoidable ana/or irreve~sible are
also described. Ancl f~nally, recommended al~ernatives tF~
the pxopased project ar~ reva.ewed in this sect~.on.
The reader should cansul~ the text for a more detailed de-
scra.pti.on a~ envi.ranmenta~ impacts. Adverse impacts axe
based upon maximum a~.J.owab~.e bui.Idout under the pxoposed
land use desi.gnations. Mi~igafion measuxes axe described
in 5ections 4.I and 4.2.
SIGNIFTCANT ADVERS~ IMPAC'SS THAT ARE A4I~'IGABLE TO A LEVEL
OF INSIGNIFICANCE '
Water Qua~.ity
Impact l: An increase i~ the concentration af co~.a.~arm
indicator would occur in storm runoff that passes thxough
develaped areas, part~.cular~.y duxzng~the dry months. Urban
storm runo~~ that reached na~ura~. dxainage channels would
ultimately increase pol~utian 1evels in 1oca1 streams.
~mpact 2: As buildout proceeds,
to treat and absorb contar~~na~ts
systems would approach saturatio:
contami~ants in shallow aquifers
c{uently in.creasing the amou~t af
surface streams farther down the
the capacity o~ the sai~
from septic-leach field
~. The concen~ration af
would increase, subse-
pollutants flowing a.nto
radge.
Impact 2-A: Devel.opment adjacent to, or within ~he watersheds
recharging the Magalia and Paradise Reservoirs would ~ncrease
the potential for xeducing the watex quala.ty in those
reservo~.xs . .
'Fhreats ~a Raxe and/ox Endangered Plants
Impact 3: Develo~ment with~n the project area cauld threaten
the continued existence o~ ra~e/endanger~d pl.an~ popuT.ations
(refer to page 58). Most af the en~ire project area is
sensitzve and potien~i.al~.y suppor~.s these two plant species
since sui~.able habita~ exis~s ~hroughout the area. Severa~
specific loca~ities are known to be parta.c~].arl.y sensitive:
a. Nimshew Ridge
b. Bu.tte Cree~C canyon 5~0~~5
c. De Sabla area (northexn project environs above A~agalia)
2
Axchaeolagy
Im act 4: Zmplementation a~ the ~roposed pro~ect would
t reaten ~o disturb known and potential archaeological sates
in the Upper Ridg~ axea. Historic a~d pre-historic s~t~s
may be intentianally ar inadvertently disturbed, ther~by
canfounding ox des~roying evidence at ~he site.
Erasion and Sedimentatio~
Impac~ 5: Grading, excavation, soil d~sru~tion, and accom-
panying erosio~, as well as potenfia~ sedimentatian of
drainage courses and streams may be su~stantial -- es~ec~a~ly
on a cumulative bas~s, i£ maximum proposed general plan
densities ar~ achieved. With~n the proposed LDR and AR land
use categor~es (~o~a1 7800 acxes, 15,360 residences), this
`is part~cu~arly potentiaX.
Although the predominant genrle ~errain on the ridgelands
typacally exhibits on~y slight erosion hazard, maximum build-
out wi11 re~uzr~ considerable vegetation removal and soil
distur~ance for substantial numbers of driveways and ho~esites.
An estima~e of this cumulative effect ~ra~ the addit~onal
* 13,800 hamesi~es under maximum al~awable densities as:
~ 7Q00 tota~ acres of 2-acre homesite development (~ew
parcels plus development af existing parcels~). Additionally,
~he 21~ acres o£ "Com~erc~al" designation wil~ require
consaderable clearing and gxading for deve~opment of bu~Idings
and parking areas.
Considering the high norma~ xate af rain~al~ (60-70 anches
annually), exosian could became a problem on ~he ridge where
road cuts are made and ~arge areas axe c~eared. Where terrain
becomes s~eeper on the xidge (~5-20~o slo~es); such as near
drainages and ravines and along canyon rimlands, erosion
patential as of paxt~cular conce~n.
The steep canyon slopes axe highly susceptible ta severe
erosion ~f the slopes axe d~sturbed. Hawever, the proposed
"Timbex Mountain", "Grazing--Open T~and", and "Public~t general
plan Categories for these steepex areas would provide con-
siderable protection. The pxoposed and ex~sting TM-2Q,
TA7-40, TP-160, and R-C zoning distra.cfs, if maa.n~ained in
such areas, also affords protection. Adc~itional road and
homesi~e c~eve~opment is expected to be ma.nimal an the canyon
lands since access capability is very restxicted.

Spec~fic Iocations in the General P1an amendment warrant
particular concern regard~ng potential eroszon (based on
maximum al~owable General Plan d~nsities}.
SxGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS T~AT HAVE NO MITIGATIpN, OR
ONLY PARTIA~ MITIGATIONS, THAT ARE UNAVOIDABLE
Traffic
Impact l: Under an an.nual average growth rate of fo~r
percent, average hour~y traffic (AHT) volumes an the
Skyway nor~h of ~he a.ntersection with Gauto~.enc Raad de--
c1.in.e one-half 1eve1 of sexvice (LOS) by 1985 ~'x~am B/C
(Stable ~rJ.ow) to D(Approaching Unsta~le F1ow}. By ~he
year ~995, L05 has dropped ta D/E (Approaching/Unstable
FZow) , which is normally an unaccep-~ab~.e txaf~a.c conda.ta.on.
The AHT on Skyway narth of Panc~erosa declines o~ze LOS to
B zn 1995, and ~o C in 2000. AHT on Skyway sou~h of
Ponderosa decreases fxom a L05 of A to B in 1990; B/C in
1995; and D in 2000. The J.,OS on C1ark at the intersection.
w~fh Pearsan also steadily drops, ~'xa~n A a.n 1985, to B/C
in 2000. •
Impact 2: A~ter maxim~m ~oten~.ia1 bua.ldout, the LOS de-
feriaxates ta E on Skyway nor~h of the i.ntersection with
Cou~o~er~c, an~. north and south of Ponderosa. Qn C~axk
south of Skyway LOS dxops to D/E, and to C/D a~ ~he in~er-
sec~ian with Pearson. The LOS dec~.ines to D at both check--
poin~s on ~he Pentz-Magalia Highway. On1y on Skyway nox~h
of Nimshew Road does ~he ~,OS remain superior at A/S, and
on CoutoJ.en.c near the intersec~ion with Skyway at A.
The above traffic volume estimates should be considered
conservative, since many of -~hese xoads have shaxp curvcs,
reducing negotiating speeds and sigh~ dis~.ance. Moreover,
the roads may be naxrower in some sections than the average
used in calculating ~he LDS standaxds~~n Tables 10 and 1~..
Average hour2y volumes may actually produce a worse LOS
xata.ng than determined above.
Acous~.ics
The regular in~rusion o~ di.sruptive noise ~.evels into living,
work and recreational areas significazz~Iy detracts ~'rom the
desirabi~.ity of that area, and may, ~.n c~rtaa.n ~.nstances,
demanstrably contri.bu~e ta ~he ~.e-~erioxata.on a~r an anda.vic~.ual's
h~a~th. Moreover, real property values axe also adversely
a£~'ected by the pr~sence of excessive, objectionable r~oise
levels. ~inal.ly, wildlife are discauraged from using a
habita~ when persistent hzgh uxban nozse leve~s are pr~sent.
4
~I~~m ac~ 3: The p~ojected i~crease ~n traffic volumes,faff-
xo--ad vehicle (ORV) use, domestic pet papulation, wood cutting
and constxucfion activities wz11 xesult in more freque'nt
vio~a~ians of CNEL standar~s. Primary sources of excessive
na~se levels are: roads with moderate to heavy traffic;
QRVs without mu~~lers, or ORVs e~uipped with ina~eQuate
mufflexs; barki~g dogs; pooxly muffled chai~ saws and con-
s~ruction equ~pmen~,
Schoo~s
Sm act 4: Accoxding to enrol~ment £igures obtained ~rom
~ e Paradise Unified School District, public 5choois in
the pxojec~ area are neax or exceed student capacity ~evels
fox primary and secondary grades {see Tab~e 9). Future
- buildout -- even at lower growth xates -- will only exW
~ acerbate this prob~em.
Lass of Ve~etatian and Woodland
Impact 5: The constr~ct~on of access roads, driveways,
and numerous i-acre hom~s~tes (an estimated 15,900 under
max~mum development potential) would xesul~ in the r~moval
or disruption of substantial amaunts of natural vege~ation.
Loss of Wildlife and Habitat
Impact b: Although most areas of the Paradise Ri~ge no
longer pravide im~~rtant key w~Idlife hab~~at (except ~n
the nor~hern project ar~a, as wel~ as on undeveloped
canyon lands}, wildl~fe is ~ever~heless abundant on ~he
ridge. Furthex area deve~opmen~ and growth on fhe Up~er
Ridge wi11 cont3nue to incxease wildlife/human po~ulatxon
con~lic~s. Res~d~nt wildlife papu~ations will dec~ine as
a result of incxeased urban encxoachments, increased tra~~ic
hazards, znc~eased traf~ic and area no~ise, dirt bike
activity, harassment ~rom pe~s, and ather disturbances.
Some animals wi~l xelocate to nearby un~isturbed habitat;
others wi~l di~ as a resu~t o~ direct canfl~c~s or lack
of available habitat. ~r~e-roa~ing dogs (fypical o~ rural
residential areas) wi11 incxease wildlife predation and
other dzs~urbances as densities increase.
Impact 7: Undex maximum d~velop~ent, wi~d~ife habitat ~n the
DeSabla axea and i~ the Jordan Hill/Whiskey Flat area east
of the Pea~her River w~ll be seve~ely xeduced on those ~ands
~roposed for Agricultural Residential land uses (1-acre
densities allowable). A letter from the Cal~~arnia Deparfinent
5.
~ ~, .
of F~.sh and Game {Appendix 5) underscores this potenta.al.
impact. Ma~ntenance of exis~ing TM-20 zoning would protect
this resource. Wath increased development i.n these 1.ocali-
fies, migratory deer populata.ons (which £avax xidge~ar~.ds
for ~agratory carrzdo~s) will continue to decline. The
migratory deer herds which once frequenced the 1'arada.se
R~dge will be deflected furf.her noxth away from the projec~
area. However, ~he ~nore anaccessible loca~ians (outlying
r~dgela~ds and canyon Iands) will con~inue to provide gaad
habitat.
Impact 8: Silta~.io~. increases into area creeks and can.yan
streams is not probable if th~ proposed pro~ective land
use d.es~gnations and zona.ngs are established and maantain~d
in those areas. However, any siltataon increases wauld have
an advers~ impact upon fish populations in area watexcourses,
includang Lake Orov~l~e, located just outside the prajec~
area, sauth of the ~eather R~.v~x.
Gealo~ic Hazards ~
The praject area Ia.es near the nor~hern extension o~ ~he
Foathills Fault Syste~. Studies of this fault system indz-
cate: tha~ ~he maximum credable eartha~.ake to be expec~ted is
one wi~h a magnitude df 6.5 on the R~ch~er scale.
Im~~ ~aCt 9: Earthquake activity and resul.tan~. ground
s~ia c- 1 ing wi11 pose a hazard a~ unknown. magnitude to futuxe
xesidents and property, part~.eul.arly a~ the proposed max~mum
densities. Structuxa~. damage, par~icularly to mo~~.Ie homes,
may occux and is aescribed i~ the Modifiec~ Mexcall~ 5ca1e.
(Although the Sca~e c~aes not speca.~i.cal.~.y_ address mobile
homes, damage can be anf~rred ~'rom ~escriptian of e~~ec~s
on more permanent stru.cfures.)
Fire Frotec~ion
Tmpact J.O: The natural fire hazard in ~he project area 15
rated High to Extreme. A large natural_fire in the axea
wou~.cl. exceed the capab~.l~.ties o~ 1oca1 fire suppressi.an
reso~rces. The limited number of emergency ex~t rou~es
fram the Upper Ridge poses a serious thxeat ~o the popul.a-
tian resi.di.ng there. ~
~mpact 11: An increase ir~. residential dens~ty would also
greatly incr~ase the risk of structura~. ~ires and numbex
of inedical a~.d ca11s. Lot clearing, debris burning and
equi.pment use wi11 generate moxe demand for emergency servic~
in an area where ~mergency wa~.er reserves are mi.nimal or
nan-existent.

CUMU~ATIVE IMPACTS
The fal~awing site specific impacts, discussed in lat~r
sect~ons, are a~so c~nsidered cumulative in nature. They
~nc~ude air quality (Sec. 4.3}, hydxology (Secs. ~.1 and
4.3), acoustics (Sees. 4.1 and 4.3), circ~latao~ (Sec. 4.I),
e~ucation (Sec. 4.1), erosion (Sec. 4.~) and vege~afion/
habatat ~055 (Sec. 4.2). Increases in demand £ax public
services and associated costs would cumu~a~ively impact
the Sheriff's Department, health care provision, uti~ity
extensions and roa~ ma~ntenance. These lat~er cumulative
impacts are poten~ially significant, depending upon papu-
~atian grawth, service standards and planned expansian of
services in the project area.
SIGNIFICANT IRREV~RSIBVE IMPACTS THAT WOULD OCCUR IF THE
PROPOSED PROJ~CT iS IMPLEMENTED
Aesthetics '
The conversion of natura~ environments to urban uses is
rarely revexsed. Although substantaal Iands~aping ~ay
mztigate ~his effect to some extent, the substitution o~
~ exotic plants and tr~es for native species is not cons~dered
equiva~ent rep~acement.
GeaXogy
Unique geologic ~axma~~ons, formed over a pexiod of centuries,
may be disturbed, or in same instances destroyed by surround-
ing uxban developme~t.
Archaeolo
Disturbed or destroyed archaeoXog~ca~ si~es result ~n th~
pe~manent loss of historic and prehis~oric infor~ation.
Although known and newly discovered sites may be protec~ed
for study, ather sites may be inadvertently disturbed or
removed.
ALTERNATxVES
The Environmental Rev~ew Department stxangly recommends
adoption (incorpaxation} of the fo~~awing Alternatives fo
the proposed project.
A~terna~ive 7.4
This al~ernat~ve would reclassify approximate~y 160 acres
af land designated Ag~icu~tural-Residenfial in the propose~
project (along the slo~es east of the Wes~ ~ranch of the
Feather River) as Timber-Mountain, with a minimum o~ 40
acres per paxce~.
l~
Alternative 7.5
This alternative subm~~s tha~ the pxoposed zones (with
the exception af those associa~ed with the A-R designation
men~ioned in Alternative 7.4 and 7.6) be maintain~d or
reduced in allowable densities in ~he fu~ure. Futuxe
rezones ta higher allowable densities would only worsen
adverse impacts already cite~ in this document.
Alternative 7.b
The proposed praject designates approx~mately 160 acres
(two 80-parce~ trac~s} of nationaX fares~ Iand in the
naxth~rn portions of the projec~ site as Agr~cultural-
Res~den~xal. A Timber-Mountain ~esigna~ion wauld seem
more apprapr~ate ~or this acreage that now ~elongs ~a
~assen Nationa~ Forest. Th~s class~fication, zoned far
large parcel size, would help pr~serve more of the apen
mauntain character of ~he Upper Ridge, preserve r~~re-
ational opportunities and reduce potential advexs~ ampacts
from ur~an dev~~opment.
The A-R designation would on~y seem appropxia~e if there
is a lik~lihood that the U. 5. Forest Service plans to
se~~ the subject property in the near fu~ure, allowi~g
priva~e deve~opme~~ fo occux.

2.0 PRO,TECT DESCRSPTION
2.1 Projec~. Location. The pxoject site is campased o~ an
estimate J.8,600 acres,~ ~rimarily located north ~f the'
Town af Paradise (see Fa.guxes 1 and 2). The sit~ ar,ea
approximates the ~o1.lowing boundaries: (naxth) i mile ,
north of Hupp Cou~olenc Road; (easf) eas~ern ridge of ~he
West Branch of the Feathe~r River Canyon; (south) ~he Town
of Paradise; {west) 4 mile west of Nimshew Ridge Roact.
A narrow, con~iguous band of thE pxojec~ site, rangi.ng
from ~.,5Q0 feet to 2,800 ~eet zn width, extends the length
af the Paradise Town I~.mi.ts a~ong its eastern boundary.
On a USGS 15 Ma.nute Quadrangle map of Faradise, most o~'
the project site exists within Township 23N, Range 3~,
all or partions of 5ectians ~,2,3,10,11,I2,~3,14,1.5,22,
23,24,25,25,27,34,35, F~ 36; Tawnship 23N, Range 4E,
Sections 6,7,18,19,30 ~ 31; Township 22N, Range 3E,
Sections 2,3,10 F~ 1.~.; Township 22N, Range 4~, Sections
6,7,18 F~ 19.
2.2 Projec~t Ob~"ectives. The Butte County Planning Commission
a..~s proposecr a General P~an amendment ~or ~he project area
in ar~er to achieve ~.he following objec~ives: .
l.) Achieve land uses that reflect deve~opment
patterns in the project site;
2) Pxomo~e compat~ble Ianc~ uses in a growi.ng
area of the County, while preservin.g prod.uctive
agricu~tura3. Iand.;
3} Provide £ox axderly developmen~ comensurate
w~.th loca~ natural, ~iscal artd social xesources;
4) Revise the General F1an in accardance with Sta'~e
statufes gover~ting formu~atian and impl.ementa~ian
of 1oca1 general pl.ans;
5) Goorda.nate revision of the Butte Gounty General
- Flan wi'~h the Town o~ Paxadise to promote implemen-
~a~ion of similar ~and use goals.
Deletian a~ 900+ acres in the ~ime 5addle/iCunkle Reservo~.r
area from the original 19,500 acre projcct. Moreovex, since
~he Town of Paradi.se is currently xevising the Paradise General
P1an, incorporated areas are nat a.ncluded for mast analyses in

2.3 Technical an~ Econo~ic Cansiderations o~ the ~roposed Proj~ct.
~h~ pxoposed praject does not include specific ~echnica~ in-
~ox~ation, since proposed amendments ~o ~he Butte County
General Plan pos~ulate only general cQnstraints for land use.
Development plans far specific sites, or submission of bua~d-
ing desagns are not included in the pxoject pxoposa~.
Economic considexatians are essentially problema~ic at this
time, since the eventual type and intensity of land use ~s
not precisely known. Potentzally, the Co~nty may increase
its revenue base ~xom the commercial and residentia~ ~evelop-
~ent a~ ~oxmer open s~aces. Conversely, commercial and resi-
dential areas re~uire more public~sexvzces than rural lands,
and therefare cause greater Caunty expendi~ures. Cammercial
developme~t may have a mu~tiplier effec~ on the Iocal economy,
though an economic analysis would not be possible unt~1 the
type of comm~rcial dEVelopment ~s known.
Residentaal development an the project area may spur expansian
of the sexvice sectar in the ~aca1 economy, thaugh this would
pr~max~~y benefit ~he urban sphere of Paradase.
Praposed res~dentia~ ~and uses at varying densities within
the_Paradise area may encourage the construction of affordable
housing far a growing population neax p~a~es of employment and
commercia~ districts. This would presumably have ~he ancil~ary
effect o~ ~educzng commute costs for 1oca1 residents. Dense
residential and commercial uses, hawever, tend to consume
greater amoun~s of energy than rural activ~ties, having a
cu~ulative impact on the cost o~ that enexgy. This latter
consequence as so~ewhat o~fs~~ by ~he proposed return o~ large
amounts of exzsting land c~assified Medium Density Residential
and Low Density Resident~al ta Agricul~ural-Resadential an~
Low D~nszty Residential.

3.0 DESCRZPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
3.1 Topagraphy. The pr~j~ct axea l~es w~thin the noxth~x~y
portion~of the Paradise Ridge, immediately abave ~he Town
of Paradis~. The area is cha~ac~erized by a xelatively
broad (1-3 m~les w~de) gentle-sloping ridge Iocated between
Butte Greek Canyon on the ~est and th~ West Branch Feather
River canyon on the east. These canyons form the periphery
af th~ projecf area, and cansist af s~eep ~o very ste~p
.{~0-IOOa slopes) rugged, eroded 510PB5 where access and de-
velopmen~ capabilities are very restricted or non-ex~s~ent.
Litt~e Butte Creek and Middle Butte Cxeek ~raverse ~he
southwes~ern area, ex~ending in~o the interzor of the project
area. The narrow (~ 2 mi~e wxde) Nimshew RZdge traverses
the western port~on~of the area (refer ~o Figure 3). The
extr~me southern por~aons of the area include the s~eep
canyon lands along Little Butte Creek a~d the ~eather River
just outside the Town of Paradise. These canyon~ands co~-
stitute important watershed axeas upstxeam fxom Butte Creek
and Lake Oravi~le.
The Upper Paradise Rid,ge genera~ly slopes sou~h, so~thwest
and southeast at a gent~e gradien~ (less than 5%). Moderate
10-20% s~op~s do occur in specific areas, abruptly changing
into steep canyon slopes on the periphery a~ the projec~:
Elevatians vary ~~am 3200+ ~eet A.A4.S.L. in ~he north~rn
DeSabla a~ea, descendang ~o ~200 feet on the canyon floors.
The Upper Paradise ridgelands vaxy fxom 22a0 ~0 32dQ fe~~;
the Town af Paradise ridge varies fram 1500 to 2200 feet.

3.2 Aarshed. ~he clima~e in the project area a.s typic.a3. of
t e 5~erra Nevada and Cascade footha.lls, wi-~h hat, dry
~ summers and coa7., w'et winters. Precipi~atian averages
about 55 ~0 70 inches annual.Iy. Snawfalls occux occasion-
a1.1y, but usuall melt in a few days. S~mmer terripe~atures
may exceed 1~0° ~.; but Ju~.y high temperatures av~rage~ zn
the upper ~i.ghties. January lows average in thc thir~ies,
bu~ temperatures~in the twenties and teens do occur. No
reliable wind data ~.s ava~lable for ~he area, but t~e pxe-
dominant val~ey wind direc~aons are northwest-southeast
during staxrr-s. Laca1 ~opography moc~ifies wind speeds and
direction in the vicinity during non-s~.orm periods.
Air quality in Butte Coun~y is relat~vely good, but
Nationa~ Ambic;nt Aix ~Qua~.i'~y Standards (see Table 1} for
oxidant {smag), caxbon monaxide (CO) and suspendea par~icu-
lates are accasionally exceeded at same Iocatians in ~he
Caunty. The Ca~iforn~a Air Reso~rces Board (ARB) and the
U.S. Environmental Protecta.on Agc;ncy (~PA) have designated
Butte Caunty as a non-attainment ax~ea ~or ~hese pollutants.
The new ozone sta~dard established in 1979 has n.o~. been
exceeded at the Chico monitaring station, so ~he County
rr~ay .be xedesignated. as an attainr-ien.t axea for ~his pollutan-G.
Axx c~uality in the project axea is visibly bettex than ~ha~
of~~the valley portion of the county. 'Fhe sa.te lies above
~he semi-permanent inversion layer wha.ch tends ~o entrap many
valley generat~d poJ.l.ufants, especially parti.cula~es.
The Butte County Air Qual~ty Non-af.tainment Plan (NAP) was
adopted in 3anuary 1.979. The NAP finda.ngs and recommendatians
are based an an estima~ed maximum coun~y-wide growth rate of
3 percen~. Several of the plan recomr~endations have been
adopted by the County; these generally pertain to cantrol of

~.3 Gealagy. The aldes~ rocks in the region are volcanic and
sedimentary rocks that were fol~ed and metamarphased during
forma~ion af the Sierra Nevada. Faults in the Parad~s'e area,
inc~uding those o£ the Foo~hills Fault Sys~em; formed ~uring
~his time. Large masses af molten granitic rock and rela~ive~y
thin ~inear masses of serpentine were later injected ~nto ~he
older rocks. Outcrappings accux in the ex~reme eas~ern area
in the ~eather Rivex Canyon east of Magalia Reservoir.
After a Iong p~r~od o~ upli£~ and erosion, Iayers of conglam-
erates, sandstane and si~tstone (Chico Forma~ion) were deposit~d.
They suxface in the Fea~her R~ver Canyon in the eastexn and
southeas~er~ extreme of the praject area, as we~~ as in the
Butte Greek Canyon. Ad~it~ona~ ~xosion cuf stream chan~el$
north of Maga~ia. A~thick series of vo~canic mudflows and
assoc~ated volcanic sedimen~s (Tuscan ~orma~ion) were deposi~ed
in the area, ~a~Iowed by basaltic lavas which overcovered the
Tuscan.
Recent gealogic events in the area have be~n ~imited to forma~
tian af Butte Cr~~k and athex canyons and reactivation o£ the
Faothills Fault System. The nearest known fau~ts are the Big
Bend ~aul~ southeast af ~he ~roject area and a be~t of sma11
~aults east af Chico.
~he~~aradise Ridge is underlazn by ~he young basalt mentione~
above, and residua~ Aiken soils. The Tuscan ~arma~ian deposi~
probably lies 50 ~0 250 feet beneath the r~dge surface and ~s
exposed in the steep canyons on the periphery af the area.
Ancient metamorphic rock underlies the western part~on of the
area, wi~hin But~e Creek Canyon.
A large area of gran~tic bedrock ~s exposed at the surface
north o~ the project area, west of Stirl~ng City.
3.4 Soi1s. The project axea is domina~ed by A~ken so~1s (Aiken~
Cohasset~so~x associafion), characterized by deep to very deep
clay loam soils on gent~e, we11-drained ~errain. The northW
east~rn area is mapped wi~han the Neuns so~~ association, a
deep so~l on modera~e~sloping ta steeper tex~ain. The west~rn
and eastern canyon areas cons~st af ~oomes soils and Goulding~
Auburn soil types. Th~se are characterized by shal~ow to very
shaZlaw soils on st~ep, exoded, we~1-drained slopes.
Aiken so~Is, develo~ed as a residual soil ~xom the underlyang
basalt, are generally four to eight feet deep, and occur uni-
farmly throughout fhe ce~~ral Paradise Ridge. These deep,
x7
, ~
clay loam soi~s have enablec~ the Town of ~'ara.da.se and the'
Paradise Pine~ areas to d.eve~~ap to their present dens~.tieS.
The surroundi~ig canyon and ra.mland areas typica~.ly have
cons~.derably more shallow soils (o~ten l~ttle, if any, sa~.1s
an the steep ~anyon rock ou~crappings), imposing extreme '
d~velopmen~ 1~mitata.ons in those areas.
Aiken soi.Is have a reddish-brown, granular loam surface 7.ayer,
and a sl~ghtly-compact, yellowish-red clay subsoi~.. Rock
~ragments of gray basalt are common. Aiksn soils have good
drainage, slow to medium runo~~, moderately-slow subsoil,
permeab~.lity, an~ ~yp~ca~ly have a moc~erate shrink--swe~l
capacity. The erosaan hazard is usually slight, a~.thaugh
~.ocally modera~e. Taames soils and Goulding-Auburn soils,
wk~ich occur on the steep canyon. slopes and perapheral areas,
are less than two feet deep. They are composed of brown,
hard, cobbly ].oar~s with somewhat excess~ve draYnage, medium
ta rapid runoff, and moderate subsoil permeabil~ty. ~rosion
potenta.ai and landslide hazards ~or these areas are rated
modera~.e to hi.gh due to stee~ slopes and high rates af rain-
fa11. Native vegetatz.on stabilizes ~hese soils fro~ erosion.
3. S Hydxo~.ogy
Surface Water. The major water bodies tha~ exist wi~hin ~he
project site include the West Branch of the Feather River,
Maga~.a.a.Reservoir, De Sab1a Resexvoa.r, Pa~adise Reservoir,
Middle ~utt~ Creek and upper por~.ions a~' Little Butte Creek.
Lit~1e and A•Iiddle Butte Creeks drain much of the runo~'£ from
storms in th~ project area. Paradise and Magalia Reservoirs
receive runoff from ~i-~~.le Butte Creek and other smaller
tributaxies.
Parada.se and Magalia Reservoirs provic~e mast o~ the potable
water ~or users in the Paxadise and Upper Ridge area. De
SabJ~a Reservoir furnishes a sr~-al~, amoun~ of drinkang water,
and provades Pacific Gas and E~.ec~r~c Company with hyd.ro-
pawer necessary to operate generators at the De Sab~.a
~owerhouse.
Graundwater. Th~ mos~ recent comprehensive sfudy af wa~~r
Qua~i~y in the Upper Ridge area was ja~ntly per~ormed by
~he Departm~nt of ti~'ater Resources, Paradi,se Irriga'~ion
District and B~tte Gounty in 1973 (MAGALIA RESERVO~R WATER-
SHED LIMNOLOGY AND WA'I'ER QUALITY STUDY). The study found
"lit~le Eviden.ce that wastes are migxating to Parad~se and
Magalia Reservoirs. Should fhi.s occur ~.o a~y exten~ in the
I8
~utuxe, the gxeatest concern, other than possible health~
problems such as vixus~s, would be the effect on the
biolagical produc~ivitiy af the r~s~xvo~rs. Increased '
biolagica~ productivity co~Id create undes~rable condi~idns
ranging fxam taste and odor problems to ~nsigh~ly algae
blooms. Taste and odor problems appear to be the most ,
cr2tical, as~fhese two r~servoirs are used to store water
that is to be used for domestic purpos~s." The study ~ur-
ther suggested that the watersheds for each reservoir
possessed a~~m~t for population capacity; 1,700 for the
~aradis~ REServoir watershed, and 800 people for ~he one
draining in~o Magalia Reservoir.
Water in the Magalia and Paradise Reservozrs is monitared
annually far arganic and minera~ contaminan~s by Paradise
Sxrigat~on District, whzle the County monitors surface
streams in the project area. No prob~ems with water quality
have bee~ encountered from sample ~ests in these areas to
~ate.
A more recent limnology study of water quality, focusing
an the incorporated Tow~ of Paradise, and ~o a~esser
degree, Maga~~a, andicates a slight deteriorataon in qual~ty
during ~he past 7-10 y~ars. The repart no~es tha~ wh~le na
publ~c hazard exists from wa~er pollu~ion, a no~iceable in-
crease in che~ical and coliform concen~rations occurs where
surface water passes through urban areas. This impairment
to water quality may be th~ resu~t o£ the accumulatzon of
pallutants from soil.absorption systems. (James M. A~ontgomery,
Consulting Engin~~rs, Inc. 1979) The study by Montgome~y
Engineers co~cluded that popu~ation growth wil~ increase the
amount of po~l~tants discharged into water supplies, trans-
ported there by s~rface flows and groundwater movement.
3.6 Bio1o ical Resources: Ve etation and Wildlife
VegetatYO~: The project area is located pr~nc~pally within
the Ye~low Pine Farest pla~t community (Transition Life ~ane),
but ex~ends into mixed Foo~hil3 Oak Woodland an~ Chapaxral
vege~ation zones an the outlying ridgelands and canyonlands.
Riparaan vegetation communit~es occux along streams and canyon
ba~fiom Iands.
The Ye11ow Pine (Po~derosa Pine) community cons~s~s af a mixed
con~ferous-deciduous for~st, generally charac~erized by ponder-
osa pines, sugar pines, incense cedars, and Douglas ~~xs, wi~h
cons~derable growth o~ oaks, maples, and other deciduous vege-
tat~on (refer to Append~x ~ for a veg~tatian listing). The
centra~ Paradise P~nes area conta~ns some deciduaus forest
over a larg~ axea which is distuxbed habi~at.
19
The mixed Foofhill Oak Wood~and-Chaparral habitat occ~rs
a~ ~he lower elevations on canyan s~opes and in exposed
areas (primar~ly in the western and southwes~ern boundaries
and in the Butte Greek canyans), and supports digger pine,
ma~zanita, buck brush, oaks, ~tc. Canyans generally have
dense shrubby vegetatzon, as.~el~ as forest cover, particu-
larly on noxth-~acing slopes. Natural wildfires~histarically
have xeduced densztaes and vegetation, a~lowing greatex
wildlife use; fire contro~ has modi~ied thas, incxeasing
vege~a~ion dens~ty.
Riparian vegetatian OCCUxS within narrow bands along ~rainages
and streams, prov~i~ing a diverse environment for intensive
wzldl~~e u~i~izatian. However, this habitat type ~s ~imated
xn extent (high graundwater assoc~ations), and is located,
in predo~inantly inaccessible and/or undevelopable areas.
' Paradis~ Ridge na~ural ve~e~a~ion has been previousXy dis-
turbed by logging, wood cutting, and suburban and rura~~
xesidential development, l~aving only limited areas of un-
disturbed land. The latte~ pximarily occurs in the per~pheral
areas near canyons and in the narthern portian above ~axadise
~ines. Understory vegetatian and brush i~ ~he central ridge
areas typica~ly have ~~ght ~o modera~ely-dense cov~r, having
been previously disturbed or removed. Gxasses and annua~~s
are not prevalent 3n this forest co~munitiy, al~hough a few
exposed slopes and steepex ~anyon terrain support pximarily
grasses and annuals (Where sha~low soil, rocky outcroppings,
and steep terrain exposure preven~ ~he growth of ~orest
vegetation.)
Raxe and Endangered Plants. In genexal, ~he entire Parad~se
Ridge has suitable habitat ~ar ~he following rare/e~dangexed
plants:
l. Fxi~illaria eastwoodiae occur~ an many soil types
particular2y serpentine soi~s) in open forested
loca~ions on wel~-drain~d slopes above 2000 feet
elevation. This plant is more adaptive ta d~ve~op-
men~ encroachment than many other rare p~ants. The
spec~es is considered xare, but not endangered (Rare
and Endangered Plants p~ But~e County, J. R. Nelson,
I979).
2. Sidalcea robusta is found in grassy dry"areas an
volcanic soils. Thzs pexrenial is not we~l adap~ive
to disturbance. The species is considered ex~remely
rare, no~ threatened with imm~nent extinct~an.
The greatest sensitivity ~n the area for th~se ~wo plant speci~s
occurs in the more noxther~y area (Magal~a to De Sabla), alang
Honey Run Road in ~he sou~hwest, and an Nimshew Ridge an ~he
west.
20
3. Two ather s~nsit~ve ar rare p~an~ species af
limited habitat occur in ~he project area:
a. Cu xessus macnabiana (Macnab cypress)
~acat~ an serpent~ne soi~s a~ ~he only
known Iacation near Cau~elenc Road/Skyway
intersection. ~
b. Ca~ ste aa am Iic~fo~ia vax. bu~~ensis
wild "Morning G1ory" , which is sensitiv~
but not endangered.
Wildlife. This type o~ mountain forest habitat 15 capable
o~ suppar~ing a larga daversity and density o~ wxld~ife
(re~~x to Appen~ix 4 for a listing of typica~ species in
the axea}. Animal use as not readi~y apparent to ~he
casual observer. Many species are arboreal or noctu~nal,
and deer populat~ons a£~en are win~er residents only.
Histor~cal~y, the entire Para~ise Ridge was ~mpor~ant w~ld-
l~£e habi~at. Hawever, because a~ development pressures and
extensive popu~ation growth, the Calz£ornia Fish and Game
Department no longer cons~dexs ~he area prime habitat: ~he
pxojec~ area is not l~.sted as an area of specia~ biological
am~ortance (ASBI) on the department's wild~i~e map (although,
histor~ca~~y, i~ was once Key deer winter range). Large ~
numbers of Wildlife still accux in ~he area, and deer pap~~
Iations probably cont~nue ta migrate into and w~n~er wi~h~n
the northern r~dge and au~lying canyon areas (the Bucks
Mounta~n herd from ~he northeast). The ~~sh and Game Depax~-
men~ considers twenty aere parcels the minimum allowable for
wild~ife/development compatibility (~0-acres ~i~hin Key deer
habitat).
Deer populat~ons are paxticularly dependent an shrubs.
Species densi~y and ~iversity within th~ Faoth~l~ Oak~ Woodland-
Chaparra~ areas has been reduced by control of natural wixdla~d
fires.
Ra~e an~ Endan er~~ Wi~d~ife. Bald eag~es wi~ter in the
genaral reg~on, nesting zn large conifer tr~es near reservoirs
and rivers. The Lake Oroville/Feather R~ver Canyan area ~n
the extreme southeastern corner o~ ~he pxoject area has been
iden~ified as i~porta~t eagle ha~itat. This rare and en-
dangered species is highly sensi~ive ~o human dis~urbance.
S~ofted ow1s, a sensitive wsldlife species o~ special concern
to California Fish and Game, occur in ald growth ~imber,
perhaps in some areas wi~hin ~he extreme nor~hern proj~ct
area and in canyans,
z1
Suitable soils, the hydrologic-climat~c regime, and terrain
allow most lands zn the Upper Paradise Rzdg~ to support sus-
tazned yield Commercial timber. Soals are aesigna~ed ~xe-
dominantly "4" and "5" on a 7-pairit xating sca~e for T'imber
Site potential (Soi1 and Vegetatian Survey of the U. S.

3.7 Acou~tics. The princi~a~. saurces of noise on or near the
pro~ect site are ~he result of veh~cu~ax tra~~i~c on the
Skyway, Cautaienc Road anc~. Namshew Road north a£ ~aradise,
and ~he Pen~.z-MagaJ,~.a Ha.gh.way south of Paradise. {Roads

The Noise ~lement in the Butte County General P1an identi~ies
t~vo acceptable naise 1evels for the Caunty. * Th~ ~'~.rst
noise i~enchmark indicates that a maximum acceptab~.e outside
noise leve~ of L~n-60 dB prov~des a suitable noise environ-
ment for indoor acfiivifies. ~ox outdoar f~znctions background
noise ~.~vel.s that exceed 50-55 dBA ~n~erfere with speech

noise ~eve~s is L~n-45.d~.
Based on "rule-of-thumb" guidelines, outside noise Ievels
for variable speed roads with 5,000 to 20,aao average da.ily

So~rce: Butte Caunty General P~an.
This data suggests that any ac~i~ity located beyond 200
feet from the ~dge of xoadway would experience no.ise levels
of Ld~T6~ dB or Iess.
~n summary, the Caunty Naise ~lement concludes:
"Ther~ have been few naise complaints in ~he County and
most o~ these involve in-city noise problems. The un~n~
corpoxated areas af the County genera~xy have ~aw noise
le~e~s and mast of the noise pxoducing activities (~ntnr-
cycle ~racks, gravel-crushing o~erations, etc.) are
sufficiently remot~ ~xom popula~ed areas ta cause few
comp~aints.
Thexe are very few p~rsans exposed ~o noise levels above
an Ld~ of 60 dB in the unincorporated areas of the County
Railroads, high-speed highways, industries, and airpor~s
c~rrently affect ~ew residentia~ areas or othex sensitive
receptors." (~age IV-22)
The exceptian to this g~n~xal condi~ion in ~the p.roject
site occurs where Iogging, firewood cut~ing, milling opera-
tions and off-road vehicle act~v~~y sharply impact recepto~s
in l~ss popu~a~ed areas that otherwise have gen~rally 1ow
ambient noise levels.
3.8 Aesthe~ics. The Upper Ridge is characterized by rolling ~aot-
ill ~errain, w~th v~ews of deep canyons, s~reams, lakes and
~orests where land has not been develo~ed. Most land us~s are
residential, with a popu~ation that ranges fram rura~ ~o low
density in concentra~ion. Commercial es~ablishments are con~
sidered light retail, for the most part, and p~imarily occur
along the Skyway. Away from developed parcels, ~he natural
viewshed is good to excellent.
3.9 Land Use. Most of the land in the proj~c~ site c~rrent~y
exists as open space, or s~pports xura~ to ~ow density resi
dential housing. Sca~~ered com~ercia~ activities currently
op~erate along ~he Skyway and P~n~z-Magalia Highway: The
project propasal ~esignates xoadside land along these major
~raffic carridors ~ox future commerc~al use.
The primary land uses praposed ~ar the projec~ area consist
of residential housing at rural and low dens~ties, a~d open
space (designated Grazing and Open Land, and Timb~x Mountain
on ~he Land Use Niap}. The praposed project woul~ also increase

County of ~39,315, representing a gain af 37,~46, or 3b.62
percent. The County's annual average growth rate for this
period amoun~s ta 3.17 pexcent. ,
Constr~ction af n~w hausing units has exceeded population
growth in the 10-year pexiod, 1970-1980, perhaps reflecting
the local hous~ng indus~ry's be~~e~ in a growth market. The
average hausehald papu~ation for the project a~ea varies
from 2.~0 to 2.~34 per dwel~ing (Preliminary I980 Census).
The 1970 figure for tha~ cat~gary was 2.44. The decline ~n
household population wou~d be expecfed in an area thati ~
attracts an unusually Iarge number of re~ired or semi-retired
~ersons in oldex age groups.

As a resu~t o~ General Plan amendments that re~uce de~sity in
~he Paradise area, and the on-go~ng ~~velapment o~ a~imited

General P1an: Land Use Map an~ Palicies
~he curren~ General Plan designates appro~~mate~y 200 0£
th~ I$,b00 ac~es in the project site "Low Density Residential"
(1-4 dwelling uni~s pex gxoss acxe) and "Medzum D~nsity
Residential" (5-S dweliing units per gross acre). A~proxi-
mat~Iy 80% a~ the site is currently designated eithex `.'Timber-
Mauntain" ox "Gxazin.g and ~pen Land.". "Commercial" and
"Public" designatian acco~nt for only 1.50 of ~he ~.ota].
project site (see Figure 4).
Approximately 2000 acres (lI%) o~ the proj~ct si.te ar~ pra-
pasea for "Low ~ensi~.y Resi.dential" (up ~.0 4 dwelling u~i~s
per acre) and "Medium Density Resi~.en~ial" {up ta 8 dwelling
units per acre) with an additional 5000 acres (270) prdposed
~or "Agricultura~ Residen.tial" (1-40 acres per dwell~.ng ~na.t)
"Timber-Maunta~.n" and "Grazing and Open ~and" desa.gnations
are proposed ~or appraximately 10,~aa acres {55%}. These
designa~ions accoun~ for more ~.han 900 of a~~ acreage in the
projec~ site (see Figure ~).
As noted ~.n the G~neral Plan text, "b.ecause....desi.res far the
fu~ure are so numerous, d.ive~se and idea~istic, some conflicts
between poli.caes are unavaidable and ta be expected. l~o o~e
policy by itself should always determa.ne County aCtion;
dEC~.s~an-makers must considex all adopted policies which are
relevan~t to a particular situation. ~he cflntinual a.ntexpxe-
tation and app~acation af policy statements to ~.n~.~ividual:.
situatians wzlZ ~rEquently resu~.t ~n compromises reflecting
balances and prio•rities amang conflicting polici.es."
The proposed Genera~. P1an revi.si.on for the Paradise Upp~r
Ridge area invalves complex 155i1~5 wha.ch, as n.oted above, may
a~.sa invake can~'Iicting County pala.cies .
There are at 1eas~t three primary P~anning issues reJ.ated ~o
the proposed project. They involve: (1.) papu~af.ion grow~h;
(2) resource management; and {3) residen.tial deve~opment.
Each of these issues is discussed in the ~o1.lowing paragraphs.
Since 1970, the pro~ect s~.te has e~perienced one of the
highest growth rates in the,Coun~.y due ~~ part to the develop-
ment o~ over 42Q0 ~ots in ~.he Paradise Panes project, and a~n
part to the "ovex~low" fram the Ci~y of Paradise. The highes~
gxowth ra~e is e~pec~ed ~o continue into the near future.
The pa~.icy of the General P1an is to "a11o~' reasonable
'£xeedom of choiceT of sites and facilities ~ar the population
growth of the Cou~ty...and its var~ous sections", and to
"designate adeauate J.and ~or ~ree-marke~ competition amang
land suppl.iers ~o avoid artifi.cally constxicting land avail-
a~~lity." The proposed General Plan A4ap designations would
32
allow a maximum of nearly 1b,000 D/Us and a papula~ion of
over 27,OOQ in the Upper Ridge axea.* Consider~ng the
probability that not a11 land wi11 develop to the maximum
densities allowed by the General P1an due ~o septic, access,
1ot con~iguxation, and oth~r factors, it can be expected
tha~ th~ population wall double or even triple from tihe
presenti population of appxoximately 5,OS0, and xema~n w~~hin
the density canstraints of the proposal.
The Upper Paradise Ridge has tiwo resources ~hat are especially
impartant to the en~ire Paradise Ridge as we11 as the re~
mainder of the County. "The man~facturing of lumber and wood
products accau~ts ~or about 4a of the wageTand-salaxy employ-
ment in the County and a heal~hy shaxe of basic incame ~o the
County economy. Timberland also has sign~~icant value ~or
wi~dlife habi~at, x~cr~at~on and watershed pra~ection." The
wa~ershe~ is par~icularly impor~an~ in ~his area since Magalia
Reservoir and Paradise Lake are water supply ~or the Town of
Parad~se. The propasal wi11 "limit the use o~ timberla~d to
~axestry act~vzties and compat~ble uses; retain in a"T~mber
Lana" category areas an the Land Use Map where Iocation and
natural conditions make lan~s we11 suited for timber~and,
whale considering for non-timber use areas where uxban en-
croachment has made inroads into timber arEas and
whexe past of~xc~a1 actions have p~ann~d a~reas for developmen~; ,
mainta~n quanti~y and quality of wa~ex resources adeQuate for '~
a1I uses in the County; control development in watersh~d areas
to ~inim~ze er~sion and water pallution."
Whi~e the need ~or hamesites o~ vazious sizes, ~ensities, and
Iocatians have been discussed, the need to limit dens~ties in
the Upper Paradise Ridge area has no~. Aside from the pxo-
vision of Open Space and "e2bow raam" around individua~ 1ots,
densities must be la~ited in same areas because of soi1, slope,
septic capab~~xfies, water avai~abi~ity, and other natural
szte characteris~~cs. Praximi~y ~a pub~ic facilities, ~mer-
gency serv~ces a~d com~ercial areas is aZso a considera~ion.
A major planning concern in the pro~ect area is ~he ~raffic~
carrying capacity of the road network. A~most a11 of the
existing development an th~ Upper Ri~ge area uses.Skyway as
~ts so~e access. As the popu~a~ion grows and development
intensi~ies, traf~ic congestion wzl~ ~ncxease. Blockage af
Skyway at Maga~~a du~ ~a accident or other cause e~~ectively
isolates most of the population. A stated policy af the
General F1an is to "balance resadentiaX densities with txaffic
carrying ca~acities of existing and p~oposed circulation p~ans".
The proposed Land Use P1an recognizes ~he limiting ~nf~uence
of Skyway and wxl~ he1~ reduce fravel out of the Upper Ridge
area by providing area for ample commercial development w~thin
the area.
~The popula~ian woul~ be considerably higher if more residents
permanenf~y move into the Upper Ridge, decreasing the number of
dwellings used as second homes.
33
Tn another sect~an a~ the General Plan, the purpose for
separat~ng ~and ~ses is discussed. The P1an explains that
'Tland use ca~egories cambine simi~ar and compatible activ-
ities into groups wi~h differing needs for location and
space.,.. The various lacation and space reQuar~men~s af
land uses can anly be satisfzed by separatzng uses into
cafegories and attem~ting to provide suitable si~es far
each categoxy." The general goa~s here are to ~eet the
uni~ue requixeme~~s of each Iand use activity, and reduce
potential conflicts among Iand uses in pxaximi~y ~o one
ano~her. Where incompatible ~and uses appear ~o be develop-
ing near each othex, the plan recommends the adoption o~
measures that woul~ mitiga~e potential conflicts. The
pxe~erred goa1, however, is to su£ficien~ly separate in-
campatible land uses, to the ex~en~ ~ha~ ~heir act~uit~es
wi11 not intrude upan one another.
The County recognizes the need for a satisfactory supply
and~vaxiety of housing for its residents. The General P1an
posfula~as that "satisfact~on of housing needs are....
dependent on balancing hous~ng supply and demand... The
Cou~ty can b~st ass~s~ the housing market by assuxing enough
suitabxe space for new housing constxuctiont'.
zonin~ .
The'project si~e is now zaned fox a varie~.y of uses, rangi~g
~ram cammercial and residenfial ~o ti.mber ~areserve and rec-
rea~.ion and ather pub~.a.c uses. Most of the proposed Land Use
c~esignations wa.l.1 conform ~o the existing zo~es; a few areas
will reQuire rezoning in order to canform to the revised
General P~.an classif~ca~aons. 'Fhe rezone pox~.ion of the
proposa~. is from.A--2, A-2 Ltd., AR-MH-~ an~ S-H to TM-1.,

3.~0 Circulation. The primary access rau~e in~o ~he Upper
Ridge area, north of Paradise, is via Skyway. Othe~ major
t~a~~~c artexi~s that provide access to the southexn pex-
ime~e~ of the Upper Ridge inc~ude N~a1 Road, C1ark Raad
and the Pentz-Magalia Highway. Nimshew Road, Humbug Raad
an~ Goutolenc Road serve as major traffic corridors within
the Upper Radg~ praject area; all of these corridors gen-
era~Iy ~o11ow nor~h-soufh axes.
Major east-west roads across the ~ace of the Upper Ridge
are limi~ed, due ~o ~he presence of canyons, laxge badies
of water a~d rugged terrain. Hup~ Coutolenc Road connects
th~ Skyway and Coutal~nc Road in the northern sectian of
the Upper R~dge, though no o~her road exists ~ha~ Iinks
the eastern and western extremrties of the project sit~
north of Paradise. 5ections of Nimshew Road, Humbug Road
and Hupp Couto~~nc Raad axe un~mpxav~d, allawing only
1~mited t~avel during ~he winter monfhs.

According ~o Tab1e 9, a total of 4,173 stud~nts attend
public a~d private schools in th~ Faradise area. Appraxi~
ma~ely ~,280 (3~%) of those stu~ents axe enrolled in
secondary {grades 9-12) schools. Of ~he 2,893 s~udents
atte~ding elementary (gxad~s K-8) schools, 528 (180) are
enro~~ed xn pr~vate schoals. The Paxad~se Un~~ied School
District has histor~cally experienced an annual avexage
growth rate of three percent among the student populatian.
Th~s represents a lower grow~h rate than recorded for the
gen~ral population in Paradise {4.30 to 5.67% annual~averag~
increase}, indica~~ng a declining family s~ze.
Sheriff. Law enforcement ~n the project area is prov~ded
yb~WButte County Sheriff's Department. A staff of twelve
sworn afficers current~y apexa~e on three shifts out of the
Paradise office located on ~lliot Road, The day and graveyard
shif~s each have two patrol beats while~ the swing shift has;
three beats.
The Butte County Board of Supexv~so~s recently voted to add
27 new pe~sonnel to ~he,Shexi££'s D~partment. However,` no
new persannel will be added to ~he Paradise o~f~ce.
The_.project site ~aes within a regular patrol bea~~area, but
is patrolled wz~h a vaxied ~requency.
The Shex~~~'~ Department estimated response time to areas
thraughouf the proj~ct site ranges from 3-I5 minutes.
Fire Protectiion. Th~ B~tte County Fire Depar~ment, in
cooperatlon with the Californ~a Department o~ Foxes~xy, is
r~sponsible ~or fire protection in ~he project axea. The
neares~ cen~rally positianed fire station is located in
Paradise Pines an ~he Skyway withxn the central project area.
This station is manned by 2 regula~ and 30 vaXun~eex f~reme~.
The candition of the fire truc~s, which includes 2 tankers
and 3 pumpers, is considered ta be very gao~.
Response ~im~ ~rom the Paradise ~ines s~a~ion wou~d range
from 2 to S minutes ~a vaxiaus locations an th~ Uppex Ridge.
Other stations that serve the project area includE ~he De
Sabla Sta~io~ #31, Coutolenc Vo~un~eex Statian on upper
Co~tolenc Road, Magalia Va~unteer Stafion and the.Ba~~al~on
Headauarters i~ the north section of Pa~adise. Respanse
tames may range up to I5 minu~es ~a the southern extremes
of the project site.
Mast o~ fhe Uppex Ridge has ~e~n c~ass~~~ed as a"High"
na~ural fire hazard area. The ratiing increases to "Ex~reme"
in the eastern portians of the projec~ site (Butte County
General Plan, Safety Element}.
41
Gas and Electr~c. The Pac~~ic Gas and Elec~ric Company
ma~ntaxns pawer lines thraughout the project area. Avai~-
abi~ity of natural gas, however, is limited to incorporated
areas in Paradise. Most residents in the Gounty p~rtzons
o~ the pxoject si~e use electr~ci~y or propane for heating
~urposes.
TeXe hone. The Pacific Telephone Company serves us~rs
t roughout the entire project area. Both undexground and
~o1e telephone lines are located along streets and overland
r~ght-o~-ways.
Water. Residents i~ the project axea may obfa~n patable water
r~m individual we~1s, Magaxxa County Wa~e~ Dastrict and the
Del Oro Water Company. The Parad~se Irriga~~on District serves
only ~he incorporated Tow~ of Parad~s~. Adequate wa~er avail-
abili~y from in~ividual wells must b~ ~~texmined on an indi-
vidual site basis. Del Oro Water Company has supplied water
to many of the new subdivisions ~ecently developed on the
U~per Ridge.
5ewerage. At present, only septic-leach field sys~ems provide
trea~ment for effluent generated in fhe praject area.
Hea~th. Residents in ~he project area are:~.prima'ri.~y served by
t~ea~her River Haspital for emergency and outpati.en~ caxe,
J.ocated on.Pentz-Magalia H~ghway in the Town of Paradise, ~
miles south of Magalia. - Paradi.se Convalescen~ Hospital is a
~najor prov~.dex af nuxsing and convalescent care to ~he elderly.
So].id Wast,e. So1id waste callectaon is provided ~o praject
area res~. ents pximarily by But~e County Dasposal, Modern
Garbage Service, 0 K Sanitation, Toml~n's Bi11 Garbage Serva.ce
and Paradise Garbage Di.sposal. Many ~esidents a1.so transport
their was~es by private vehicle.to the Caun~.y landfi7.l site
on Neal Rflad.

3.12 Archaeolo ic Resources. The proposed areas for rezone 1ie
within the area t at ance was occupied by the Konkow indian
peop~~ [northw~st Ma~du). The Konkow ~ollowed a h~nting and
ga~hering ~orm of subsistence ~ha~ u~ilized the natural re~
sources o~ their t~rratory, which required a yearly gath~xzng
cycle. Th~s cyc~e involved the exploitation of most edibles
with~n theix texx~tory, requiring thear magration in~o the
mauntains in ~he summe~ ta hun~ dee~, wi~h a return ~o valley
areas during tihe spring ~o collect grass see~s.
The archaeo~agica~ site records maintained at California
State Un~vers~ty, Chico, z~dicate that 16 previously r~card~d
prehistoric sites are located with~n ar adjacent to the pro-
pas~~ rezone ar~a. ~~ thes~ sites, ~3 consis~ sole~y of
~edrock mortars, which were ut~~ized by ~he aborigina2 peaple
in connec~ian with sfone pes~~es ~o~ ~he preparation of various
types of food resources. One ather site consists of b~drock
mortars and lithic de~itage, which is the resul~ o£ stone ~001
manu~actux~ng. Two ~~ the si~es are classified as ~~rial
gxounds based upon ~he presence af human bone and other types
of ar~ifacts faund at these sites. No ~ermanent ha~~~a~ion
sites have been previous~y recorded withx~ the axea, bu~ a
numb~r af xack shelters, u~ilized as temporary camps, have
„ been recorded within canyons a shart distance ~xom ~he area.
Th~ pxesence af numerous bedrock ~ortar sites~and th~ absence
of larger habitation sites ~ndicate that, a~~hough ~he ab-
ariginal populatxon ~requenf~y passe~ through the area on
their s~asona~ gathering cycle, ~hey only stayed there briefly
when ~~aveling be~ween ~he va~Iey and the mountaxns. The
p~esence af the two burial grounds does not ~xt into ~h15
pattern, sxnce ~t has been reported ~ha~ al~hough the Kankaw
narmally buried.~heir dead, cremation was used when a person
died away £xom ~heir permanent villages. Unless ~here are
unknawn habitation sites witha~ the g~nera~ area, the presence
of these burial grounds remain an anoma~y among no~mal Konkow
practices.
Histaric Background. Ear1y hxstoric ac~ivi~ies within this
area were re~ated to gold m~nang and ~he 1u~ber industry. Th~
town of Magalia, or~gzna~~y christened Dogtown and lat~r xe-
named Magalia in 1862, was founded ~n 1850 by E. B. Vznson and
Charles Chamberlin. Sou~h~southwest trending Tertiary river
channels pass ~hrough the area wher~ go~d bearing deposits
have accounted for a n~mber o~ mines in the area, usua~ly
worked as drift mines. The Maga~ia Mine was opened ~n 1855,
and large-scale mining continue~ i~to the 1890s. Small-scale
mining continued from the ear~y I9~Os through ~he 1930s,
rev~ving again af~er Wor1d War II and con~inuing through the
present. One a~ the mast notable finds within the area was
43
the fam~us 54'pound Willard (~agtown/A~agal~a) n~gget ,
discovered in I859. ,
The lumb~r indusfry in the ~rea prospered an par~, as a~
result a~ the Civi1 War; ~he South cu~ of~ supplies of .
turpentine and resin to the North, which were vital far ~
the shipping industry. Magalia, which supporte~ a Xarge
number of Ponderosa pines, qu~ckly became the cen~er £or
production o~ turpent~~e and resin. Over five distil~e~ies
were 10C3tEd wi~hzn the area, and Magalia became known as
the Turpent~ne Capi~ol of California. The texminataon of
hostilities in the Civi~ War alsa hastened the demise of
the turpen~ine industry in California, though the lumbexing
industry con~inued to flo~xish.
Sensifivity for Cu~tural Reso~rce~. Based upon the pre-
viously recorde~ prehistoric sites and historic backgroun~
o~ the area, a wide variety of cultural resources are be-
lieved ta exist within the proposed rezone area. The most
common type of ~rehistoric si~e typically found is the
bedrock moxtar site, which commanly occur adjacent to d~ainages
and springs. The presence a~ two bur~al grounds adjacent ta
this area ind~cates the po~ent~al existence o~ permanent
habz~atzon sites, or large seasona~ base camps withan the
a~ea. There is also a high pro~abili~y o~ locating rock
shelt~rs, ut~Iized by the aborigznal po~ula~ion ~or temporary
occupatian s~tes along canyon wa1ls in the area.
His~oric s~tes rela~ed to gold mining and the ~umbex industry
will accux as two general types: ac~ivity loci and habifation
areas. Ac~ivity Ioci would in~lude mine sha~ts, dams and
flum~s, ana lumber mills. Habitation a~eas would znclude
cabin flats, mining and Iogging camps. Many of ~he historic
sites expect~d to occux w~th~n the area have undoubtedly
been destroyed by recent development. Due to th~ intensi~y
of early historic activity withxn the area, however, a number
of thes~ sites stx11 remain.

Wa~ex Quality. Based on findings in the Water Quality
Mana ement Plan £or Paradise an~ Ma aXia Montgomery
Engineers, 1979}, advers~ impacts wou~ be expected from
continued bui~aout in the immediate Paradise area.
Impact l: An incr~ase in the concentratian o~ coliform indicator
would occur in storm r~noff ~hat passes thxough deve~oped
areas, particularly during ~he dry months. Urban storm
runoff tha~ reached natural drainage channexs wou~d ~ltimately
increase pollu~ion levels in local streams.
Impact 2: As buildout proceeds,
to treat and absorb cantaminan~s
sys~ems would appraach saturatio:
contaminan~s in shal~ow aquifers
quently increasing ~he amount of
surface streams farther down the
the capacity of the soil
~rom septic-leach field
n. The concentration of
would incx~ase, subse-
pollutan~s flowing into
ridge.
The above irnpacts patentially pase a serious health hazard
~ ~o ~he public from contamination of shallow tive~ls an~ streams
used for recreat~on and occasional consumption. Stream l~fe
wauld a~so be adversely affec~ed.
M~tigations: The fo~lowing mi~~gatian measures ar~ extracted
Yn ~ofo~~xom the ~Uater Qualit Mana ement Plan (Montgomery
EngTxs, ~979):
Method of Wastewater ~ x. Canstruction of a community
Management callection system and Ieach
fie~a ta serve ~he area along
Skyway Boulevard south of
Elliott Road.
2. Contznued use af septic tanks ~
and l~ach ~ields or seepage
pits ~or the rema~ning partion
of Paxadis~ and a11 of MagaX~a.
3. Evaluation of the use of
e~eva~ed leach fields for
existing residences located
~n drainag~ areas.

~4. Use o~ dual leach ~ields~by
~ cammercial esfa~lishment~
. ~hat generaf.e large quantiit~.es
of wastewater. ,
Installation of On-Site ~5. Bs~abl~sh a mznzmum pexcolation
Systems rate of 5 min/in unless su~table
soil is available below the
system.
6. Establish a minimum lot size
for singl.e-£amil.y hames in
accordance wi~h ~he Subdivision
Ordinance.
7. Es~ablish a minimum 1ot size
~or multi-fam~ly and commercial
developments.
8. Specify the installatian of
manhole rasers on septic tanks.
Mai~ntenance of On--Site 9. Homeowners ins~itu~e a voluntary
Systems maintenance program which ~n-
cludes septic tank pump~ng ance
every five years.
Monitioxing Programs 10. L~.censed pumping contracfors
submi't sep~ic tank pumping
records an a quarterly basis.
~ '~he Butte Coun.ty Diva.sa.on o~
Environmenta~. Health should
. plo~ the pumping records a~d
repair records to identify
potential problems.
~.~. Expand the existing wa~er
quality monitori.ng pragxam
ta inc~.ude g~oundwater
statio~.s. In addition, period-
ically perform chemical anal.ysa.s
on the water samples.
Watex Conservation 12. EstabJ.ish water conservation
measures ~o maintaan a water
use of 250 gpcd.
Growth Management 13. .U~il,ize ~.he results of the
proposed water c~~ality mona.tor-

~mpact 2-A: bev~lopment ad~acent ~o, ax within the water~-
sheds r~charg~ing the Magalia and Para~zse Reservairs would
increase the po~ential~far red~cing ~he water ~uality in ~
those reservoirs.
Mitzga~ions (from 1973 Limnalogy S~udy):
~, The Paradis~ Irriga~ion D~strict (PID) conf~rm and
re~in~ the hydro~ogic ba~ance of ~~e Paxadise and
Magalia Reservozrs to ascertain if larg~ amounts of
watex are being lost fram starage in Magalia Reservo~r.
This could be aecomplished by utilizing ~he existing
measuring weir abave Magalia Reservoir and installing
new measur~ng stations on (a) L~tt1e But~e Greek above
and closer to Paradise Reservoi~ than the one used for
this study; (b} Mosquito Creek; and (c) Fir Haven C~eek.
2. PID conduct an ope~ational study of the two reservoirs,
wi~h ~he objective o~ foresta~ling or Zessening th~
possibility of alga~ productivity problems. This study
should includ~ the ef~ects of insta~~ation and use a~
multiple-~eve1 outlets on both reservoixs.
~. ~ID man~tor the nit~ogen and phosphorus cancentrat~ons
of the surface and bottom waters of ~he twa reservoirs
on a bimanthly bas~s during March, Apri1, and May to
determane i~ these nutraents are increasing in the
~reservoir wa~exs.
4. PID moni~or the vo~umes of phytoplanktan ~hrough-
out the~water colu~n on a~imonthly bas~s dur~ng D4arch,
April, ana May to determin~ i~ the bio~ogzca~ produc~
tivify an these two reservoixs is increasing.
5. ~ID upda~e and evaluate the basic wa~er quality informa-
tion in ~his report every 5 years, or as soon as the
fotal pflpula~ion on the wafershed reaches the predicted
lev~ls expec~ed to cause problems. Th~s wauld aliow the
Distract to detexmine or de~ect a buildup of adv~rse
condi~ions that wauld affect i~s water supply and to
initiafe corrective m~asures before a problem occurs.
6. Butte County contin~e ~o enforce regulations requiring
at least 50 ~e~t of leach ~in~ for each bedroam ~n a
hame, and that regulations be adopted far (~) prohi~~t-
ing ~he installa~ion of leach fields in this watershed
o~ s~opes of more than 20 degrees; {2) requiring that,
46-A
where £eas~ble, a veget~tive conifexous cover be
maintained over or within 25 feet of each leach field~;
and (3) ~equiring an alt~rnate set of Ieach lines fox
each hamesite, thus permi~tzng occaszonal resting and;
rejuvenat~ng o~ each leach field and e~suxing moxe ~
efficient' operaf~on a~ t'he system.
7. When a build.up o~ eather nutr~ents or ~hytoplankton ,
voluraes becomes ~vident in eith~r o~ the two reservoirs,
Butte County prohibit further develop~ent requiring
dsspo5ai o~ wastes to septic tanks a~d Ieach £ie].ds
and initiate plans toward constrtzcting sewage collection
systems and ~reatment faci~ities fax the residents of
fihe area.
Butte Coun.ty.shoul~. also continue to r~strict development
adj ace~.t to, or withir~. ~he watersheds o~ the reservoa.rs
through a~propriate zaning an.d General ~l.an ~.and use des~.g-
na~ions.

Tra£~~c
Impact 3: Under an annual average growth ~a~e of ~our
percent, average hourly traffic (AHT) volumes on the
Skyway noxth a~ the infexsectxon wi.th.Cautalenc Road de-
cline one-ha~~ Ieve7. of serva.ce (LOS) by ].985 from S/C
(5tab~.e ~'low) to ~ (Appxoaching Un$fab~e. ~~.aw) . By ~he
year I995, ~OS has dropped ~o D/E (Approa.ching/Unstable
~Iow) , wh~.ch ~s noxma~.7.y an unacceptable tra~~ic cond~.tion.
Th~ AHT an Skyway north o£ Panderosa decl~.nes one LOS ~o
B~n 1995, and ~o C in 2000. AHT on Skyway south of
Ponderosa decreases fram a LOS of A to B in 1990; B/C i~
1995; and D in 200•0. The LOS on Clark at~the intersect~on
w~th Pearson. also steadi~y drops, fxam A in 19$5, to B/C
~n 2QQ0.
Im~4: Aftex maximum potenta.a.l buildout, the LOS de- ~
ter~orates ~o E on Skyway north of the ~.n~ersectian with
Cou~olenc, and north and south of Ponderosa. On C1ark
south of Skyway L05 drops to D/E, and to C/D at the inter-
section wifh Peaxson. '~he ~OS declines ~o D at bo~h check-
poants on the Pen~z-Magalia Highway. Qn1y on Skyway north
of Nimshew Road daes the LOS remain. superior at A/B, anc~
an GoutolEnc n~ar th~,int~rsection wa.th Skyway a~ A,
. . _.
The above traffic volume est~mates should. be~considered
conservative, since many of these raads have shaxp curves,
reducing nego~iati.ng speeds a.nd sight distance. Moreover,
the x~aads may be narrower ~n some sections than the average
used in calculating the LQS standards in'~ables J.Q and ~]..
Average h~urly volumes may act~.ally produce a worse LOS ra~in.~.
than determined above. ~
Mitigatians: The fol,Iowing suggested mitigations are only
paxtial sol~u~ions ~o ~he adverse traffic impacts ~hat wa1l
potentially occur from adoption o~ the proposed project.
The County and Town of Parad~.se shou~~. foxm a joint planning
committ~e to caoxdinate the formulatian of a comprehc~ns~ve
c~.rcul.af.ion plan for ~he pro j ect area and incorporated areas
surrounding major roads. Priora.ty shoul.d be assigned to
~ identi~ication and mainte~ance af emergency exit routes ~rom
the Upper Ridge, in the event o£ a na~ural calamity, such as
the ou~bxeak af a massive fores~ fire. The formula~ion-of
a join~ circula~tion plan should strong~.y cansider a variety
of modes of travel a.n the ~axadise and Upper Ridge areas.
Ba.cycle, pedestxa.an and equestrian paths would encaurage
pex~sans ~o ~ake advan~age of non-vehacular travel over short
d~stances in a scenic environmenf.. 5eparate ~a.nes for
bicyclists and moped ty~es o~ motox~.zed bicyc~.es would
S~
bene~it users of these modes of travel. Use o~ smaller
types qf mass transit vehzcles is also deszrable in an
area populated wi~h a large propartian o~ el~erly residents.
The development of gr~ph~c warning signs, and correspond-
ing reduction o~ commexcial road signs along ~he right-af-
way would heip to ~ncxease traffic safety. Road widening
and usE o~ single direction roads, where appropria~e, wauld
facili~ate ~raffac flows a~d improve safety maxgins.
Callection of developex fees for improvemenf of existing
county/tawn roads, including signalizatian, ~mpacted by
those subdxvisions is recommend~d.
Acoustics
The regular infxusion of disrupt~ve noise levels xn~o living,
work and xecrea~ional areas s~gni~icantly detrac~s from ~he
desixab~li~y of that area, and may, in certa~n ins~ances,
~emonstrably contribute to ~he deterioration of an individual's
health. A1or~aver, real property values are a~sa adversely
a~~ec~ed by the presence o~ excessive, objectionable noise
levels. Fina~ly, wi~d~ife are discouraged fram using a
habitat when persistent high urban noise levels are pr~sen~.
xm act 5: The proj~cted increase in tra~£ic volumes, off-
ro_a ve~icle (ORV) use, domestic pe~ populatian,.woad cutting
and ~ons~ruc~ion activaties will result in m6re frequent
violations of CNEL standards.~ Primaxy sources of excessive

Schools
~Im ac~~ 6: Accarding to enrollmen~ figures obtained fram
t e a dise Unifiea School District, public schaols in
~he project area are near or exceed studen~ capaci~y levels
for primary and secondary grades (see Tab~e 9). Future

acerbate this problem.
Miti ations: Through County ordznance, collect developer
ees or land dedica~ion fowaxd ~~ture expansion of school
facili~ies (sxt~ and s~ructures), ~ased on a per dwelling
assessment o~ new r.esidences; assign new sfuden~s to schoa~s

Archaeolo y
~Im_Pa_c~~t~ .7: Tmplementatian of the proposed project would
~ r~i ea~en to disf~xb known and potentia~ archaeolog~cal si~es
in the Upper Ridge area. Histnric and pre-historic sites
. ~~~may be intentionally or inadvertenfily dist~.rbed, thereby~•"~"
confounding or des~royYng eva.dence at the site.
Mi~i~ga~ions: In suspected.or known areas where archaeaYoga.cal
sites may or do exis~., a qualified professio~ial archaeologist
should survey the land be~oxe any improvements to the ~.and
axe init~ated. Recammended~mi~igation measures should be
implemente~, inc~,uda.ng, but not limited ~Q, pho~ographing and
describing site depos~.ts, and arranging, i~ ~easible, fox
setbacks from the site.
Erosion and Sedimentatxan
Impact 8: Grading, excavatio~, soi~ disruption, and accom-
panying'erasion, as well as potential sedimenta~ian of drainage
courses and stxeams may be substantial -- especially o~ a
cumulati.ve basis, i~ maxa.mum ~roposed general plan densi.~i~s
are achieved. Within tYie proposed LDR and AR land use
categories (total ~saa acres, 15,360 residences), this is
particularly potential.
Although ~he predominant gentle terra~.n on the radg~J.ands
typically exhibits only sJ.i.ght erosian hazaxd, maximum builc~~
ou~ wi11 require considerabl.e vegefafion xemoval and soil
53
disturbance ~or substantia~ numbers af dxiveways and
homesites. An es~imate o~ this cumulative effect £~om
the additional * 13,800 homesites under maximum allawable
densities is: ~ 7000 tatal acres a~ z-acre homesite
~eve~opment (new paxcels plus deve~o~ment o~ existing
parcels). AdditionaX~y, the 2~~ acres of "Commercial"
designatian will require considera~l~ clearing and grading
~or deve~apment of bui~dings and pa~king areas.
Considering the high ~ormal ra~e of rain~all (b0-70 inches
annually), ~xosion cauld became a probxem on the xidge
where road cuts are made and large areas are c~eared.
Where terrain becomes stee~er on ~he ridg~~(15-20}% s~opes),
such as near dxainages and ravines and along canyon rim~
lands, erosion ~o~entia~ ~s of part~cu~ar cancexn.
The s~eep canyon s~opes axe highly susceptible ~o sever~
erosion if the S~Op~S are distuxbed. Hawever, rh~ pro-
posed "'Simber Mountain", "Grazing--Open Land", and "Public"
gene~ral p~.an categories for these steeper areas would pro-
vide consid~;rable pro-~ection. The pxoposed and existing
TM-20, TM-40, TP-~.60, and. R-C zaning distrxc~.s, if main~ained
in such areas, a~so affords pxotection. Additional road
and homesite devel.opment is expected ~a be minimal on the
canyon lands since access capabil~t~y is very restr~.cted..;,.
Specx£ic locations in the General Plan amendment warrant
partxcular concexn regarda.ng patential erosion [based on
maximum°allowabJ.e General ~lan dens~ties):
~., Pa~adise Bluffs subdivision (proposed Kennedy Ten~ative
5ubdivision Map - AP # 5~.-03-10, 1.3~ acres}. This
project site is ~ocated an modera~ke sloping canyon rim
terrain'(IO-20p slopes typically) immed~ate~y sauth o~
5outh Pa~'k Drive on the per~.phery of Paradise Pines.
Law Density Residential deve~opment, as praposed, wi1.1
require conside~able soa.l disruptian, imposing potential
erosion im~aacts from road, drivewa.y, and homesite de-
velopment {89 parce~s, * 12 miJ.es of access roads).
Little But~e Creek is located immediately downslope.
Several locations proposed ~'or Agra.cultural-Resident~.al
designata.an warranta.ng concern. include :
2. Jardan HiI1. Road -~~ha.skey Flat area, east of the
Feather River (+ 160 acres af steep ~errain}. At
this ~.ocatian, ~evelopment on numexous small parcel.s
on the 25-50% sl.apes wou~d create Considerab~e erosion
and stream sedimentation (particularly the West Branch
54
of the ~ea~her River, located immediately ~awnslape).
Main~enance o~ the existing TM-20 zoning would reduce
~his poten~ial.
3. Magalia Reservoir wa~ershed ~ands im~ediately east and
wes~ of the reservoir. Maxxmum developmen~ could cause
sediment contamination Qf ~his damestic water supply.
Exis~ing TM-IO zpn~ng {and TM-5 on a sma1X poxtaori), if
maintained, would reduce th~s i~pact poten~ial.
4. The Paradise Reservoir watershed lands immediate~y north
and northwest o~ the lake {300{ acres). This damestic
water supply could~ulfima~exy b~ subjecte~ to contamina-
tion fram increased erosion. Th~ mo~erately gent~e
texra~n and ma~ntenance of ~he existing TM-20 zon~ng
reduce this impact potential.
5. DeSabla area west a~ the Skyway and Understock Road.
Portaons of ~his laxge 200* acre area are located on
moderate terrain {20+o slopes) above Butte Creek canyon.
Ma~ntenance of ~he existing TM-20 zoning wou~d xeduce
thzs concern. ~
6. West o~ the Skyway, opposite Woadward and Perry Roads.
_. This + 60 acre area contains modexa~ely steep texxa~~n
within Middle Butte Creek canyon [the cxeek trav~rses
the site). Max~mum development in this area wou~d cause,
adve~se sedimen~ation ~mpacts on the creek ~rom incr~as~d
hillside erosion. The ex~st~ng AR-MH-3 zoning, ~f ma~n-
~ained, helps reduce this potentza~.
7. Noxthern Doon Grade Road area, 80 acres. This moderate
terrain is susceptible to erosion. Existing TM-20 zoni~g
pro~ects the si~e (surxound~d by TP-160).
S. Coutalenc Raad nartheast of Paradise Reservoir, 80 acres.
Moderate texrai~ and a stream flow~ng directly into the
reservoir cause ~rasian and sedimentation concerns at
this ~acation. Mai~tenance of the existing TM-5 reduces
this concern {as we~1 as ~he suxxo~ndxng T~-I60).
~ ~ 9. A small area proposed for AR on the Little West Fork of
~he Feather River, east of Cou~olenc Road. This ~naccessible
moderately steep canyon terrain is located alongside of
~he rivex, and i~ developed as designated, would result
in river sedimenfafion.
55
~0. South of Pondexosa Way, west of Paradise Pines,
+ 100 acres. Pro~ased GOL land ~se designatian wi11
suxround this isola~ed undeveloped rxdge on three
sides, bordexed by Paradise ~ines.
Thzs ~anyon rim ter~ain is bisected by a tributary stream o~
L~ttle Butte CreEk an~ is located upslope from Mid~Ie Butte
C~eek. Maximum development would result in;severe erosion
an~ Butt~ Creek sedim~ntatiion. The prapased T~~-5 zoning
wi11 madexate this hazaxd.
~1. West of xndia~ Drive,.sau~hwes~ of Maga~ia, ~ 50 acx~s.
Maximum development o~ this steeper terrain wou~~ resul~t
in s~dimentation damage to Little Butte Creek. The pro-
posed Thi=2 zon~ng for the majority of this site wou~d
~ not adequate~y pro~ect this canyon landscape.
Proposed zoning (including xetention of many ex~sting zoning
districts) ~or project area xidgeiands, as we1~ as ~a~ canyon-
lands, wi~l provide protec~ion from e~asian and sedimen~a~ion
impacts. Careful design and cons~~uction of s~te improvemen~s,
util.izing appxop~ia~e engineering and envixonmen~al planning
fechniques, ~~i1 reduce these development impacts. Note:
Large axeas of the Upp~x Ridge have already been ~ni~ially
deyeloped, caus~ng many erosion imp'acts to date. '~Howeve~:,
na~ aII areas have been fu~~y built out. An estimated 300
of existing parcels have been dev~Iaped with residences,
although mas~ subdivision raads have been comple~ed (ie,
Paradise Pines, ~ix Haven Esta~es, which contain many un-
developed lots).
Mitigat~ons: (Note: a~ maximum development buildWout,
~atigations may not £u11y reduc~ eros~on impacts ta an
insignificant ~eve1.)
1. Soi1 surfaces exposed by constxuc~ion and grading
actavities (partzcularly slopes) should be stablized
by:
a. Revegetatian (perhaps hydro-seeding) as soan
as possib~e~priox ta the ra~ny season..
b. Development o~ perimeter berms.
c. Preservat~an of exastang vegetation wherevex
possible.
2. Roads shau~d be stab~lized with gxave~ or pavement.
56
,... ,
3. Adequate roadsade drainag~s and culverts should be
constructed.
4. Star~ water runoff channels should be stabilized with
rock 1ini.n.g and energy-d~ss~.pating struc~,u~es, where
necessary.
5. Storm wa'ter energy d.iss~.pators should be placed at
outfalls of xoads~.de ditches.
6. Limit ea~rthwork and grading activities to the dry season
~ on~y {Apri~ thraugh Octaber).
7. Termznate grac~ing ac~ivi.ty early in the seasan to allow
revegeta~ion prior ~o the rainy season. D~sturbe~. soil
surfaces should not be Ief~ unpratected dur~.~g the ivinter
rainy season. .
S. Min~.mize cut and fi11 excavat~.on and large-scale 51~~
clearing. •
9. Raad.way ~ocations should conform ~o terrain, fo~lo'wing
contours wherevex feasible and avoiaing steep embankment
CLitS . ,
J.O. Roads and dr~veways must~nat exceed I5o graae.
1I. Any cons~ruction wathin or mo~ifica~ion o~ a.cxeek

popu~atians (xe~er ta page ~4). Near~y the ~ntixe projec~
area is sensitive and po~en~ially s~pports ~hese ~wo p1an~
species since suitable habi~at exists th~ough~ut the area.
Several speci~ic loca~~ti~s axe known to be paxticu~a~xly
sensi~ive:
a. Nimshew Ridge
b. Butte Creek canyon 510p25
c. De Sab~a axea (no~thexn pxoject envixons abave A4agalia)
Mitigations:
l. A botanxca~ survey of specific deve~opment sites by a
~ual~~ied bo~anist should ~e comple~ed pr~or to approval
of proposed deve~opmenfs. If rare/endangexed plants
are discovered, specific preservativn measures are
_. necessary, a~ter consultat~on w~th a'~ualifi~ed botan~st. ..~ ~
Z. Protec~ive measures may require deve~.opment se~backs
~xom the rare plant axeas, adoption af pro~.ectzve fencing,
• xevised site design, pxovision of a deed easement to the
California Nat~.v~ P1.ant Socaety (o~ o~her appropriate
organization) ~tc. Typically, ~ox Fr~t~llaria eastwood~ae,
a IO-~oo~ buffer area around p1an~ populataans ~s con-
s~dered adequate.
3. Drainage pattexns ~mmediate.ly uphill from rare p1.an~.
popu~ata.ons should not be da.sfurbed.
4. Loca~ions of rar~/endangered plants and the surroundi.ng
"No Development" buffer se-~backs should. be inda.cafed on
finai ~arc~1. and subdivision maps.
5. Rare pla~t pop~u~.af~ions shauld be c~early marked on the
ground so that constructa.on ac~ivities do not inadvertent~.y
destroy the plants.
fi: The natural, vegetation immediate~y surroundi.ng rare plant
popu~.atians should not be removed or modi£ied (the natuxal
plant community and shade environment i.s essential ~ox ~.he
- suxvival of these rare plants). ~

~oss of Ve etation and WoQdland. The construct~on af access
roa s, dr~veways, and n~~exous Z-acre homesxtes (an es~ima~ed
15,900 under maximum development poten~ial) wou~d res~lt in
the removal or disruption of substant~al amounts of natural
vegetation.
Cumulative ~oss of ~xees and woodland habitat on ~he ridge
wi11 b~ considerable if area growth is sustained. The Town
o~ Paradise land area has alrea~y been completely madi~~ed,
develaped with suburban uses, even though same forest character
has been retained. This cumulative loss of wondland and open
land could total 8000 acres {4Qo of the project area). This
accurrence would almost completely modi~y the ridge's natural
forested character, although cons~dExable portions have already
been altered (Paradase Pines development of 4200+ lots, many
o~ which axe yeti fo be ~evelaped wi~h residences ~~.e, many~
tre~s have ye~ to be removed). .
Partaal Mit~gations: .
I. Mazntain suitable large-parcel zoning wh~re environ-
~` _. mental limitations ex~st, rathex than allawing maxamum
densities undex ~roposed Genexal P~an Iand ~se categories.
2. Overstory trees should be presexved, except where ac~ual
physc~al constxuc~xan is required. ~
Loss of Wildl~~e and Habi~a~. Although most areas o~ ~he
Paxa Yse Rzdge no ~onger pravide importan~ key wi~dlife habitat
(~xce~t 2n ~he northern pro~ect area, as w~11 as on undevelop~d
canyon lands), wi~dlife ~s nevertheXess abundan~ on th~ xidge.
F~rther area development and grow~h on the Upper Radge wi11
continue to incr~ase wzld~i£e/human population conf~ic~s.
Res~dent wi~dlife populat~ons wi~l decline as a result of ~n-
creased urban encxoachments, increased traffic hazards, in-
cr~ased ~ra££ic and area naise, dirt bike ac~iv~~y, harassment
fram pe~s, and other dis~urbances. Some animals wi11 xelocate
~a nearby undasturbed habitat; athers will d~e as a result of
direct conflicts or lack of availab~e habitat. Free-roam~ng
dogs {~ypical of rural r~siden~ial areas) will incxease wild-
life predation and other dis~urbances as densit~es ~~crease.
Under maximum developmen~, wildlife habztat in ~he De Sabla
area and xn ~he Jordan Hi11/Whiskey F1at area eas~ of the
F~ather River w~1I be severely xeduced on ~hose lands praposed
£a~ Agricultural Residential ~and uses {1-acre d~nsities
59
allowable}. A~e~ter ~rom the Ca~ifornia Department of
F15h and Game (Appen~ix S) underscores tl~is patentia~ im-
pact. Maintenance o~ ~xisting TM-20 zoning would pratect
th~s resource. Wath increased deve~opment in these loca~~t~es,
migratory deer papulat~ons (wl~ich favor xidge~ands for
migratory corridors) will cantinue to dec~ine. The mig~a~ory
deer he~ds wh~ch once frequenced the Paradise Ri~ge wil~ be
defl~c~ed ~ux~her north ajJay from the p~ajec~ area. How~vex,
the moxe inaccessible locations (outlying ri~gelands a~~
canyon 1an~s} w~Il continue to provide good habi~at.
SiZtatian incxeases ~nto arEa creeks and canyon s~reams is
not probab~~ x£ the propos~d pro~ective land use designatxans
and zonings axe es~ablished and maintained in those a~~as.
Hazlever, ariy silta~ion incxeases wou~d have an adverse ~~pac~
upon ~ish po~ulations ~n area watercourses, includ~ng Lake
Orov~~~e, lacated just outside the pxojec~ area, south of the
Feather Ri~er.
Part~aX ~1i~igatiflns ~hat could h~~p red~ce som~ impacts i~clude:
1. Es~ablash and maanfain appropx~a~e large lo~ zoning
(as propased).
2. Modify the pxoposal in th~ De Sab1a area (curren~~y
~xoposed for Agr~cultural-Residen~ia~} to pexmz~ only
Zarge paxce~s (20-acre min~m~m).
3. Restrac~ vegetation remaval, part~cular~y ~ipa~~an
habata~ along creeks. Preserve vegetation and ~orest
axeas wl~erever posszble.
4. Pxovide (requ~xe) developmen~ setbacks ~rom s~reams.
5. The un~evelapable canyon slopes and other ~ore isolated
axeas shou~d b~ managed to xncrease thezx carry~ng
capacity For various game and non-game w~ldlife s~ec~es
to provid~ addi~ional hab~fat for disp~aced wi1d~~£e.
b. Fencing shaul~ be res~xicted. Per~meter fencing should
be limited to ~hree nx ~our strands of w~re al~owing
f~ee de~r moveme~t ta occur. Barxier fe~cing shau~d not
be used except ta enclose i~nedxa~e yards or ga~den areas.
7. Eroszon control measures shou~d be implemen~ed [ref~r to
the Exosion impac~s sect~~n].
8. Estab~ish and maanta~n 20-acre mznimum parce~ size zonang
on a~arger portaan of the area {40-ac~e minimu~ i~ k~y

G~olo~ic Hazards. Earthquake ac~ivity and resu~tant gro~nd
shaking wil~ pose a hazard a~ unknown magni~ude ~o ~u~ure
res~dents and property, par~icularly at the propose~ maximum
densities.
The pxoject area Ii~s near the northern exte~sio~ of the
Foo~h~~~s ~ault 5ystem. Studies of ~his fault syste~ indica~e
~hat the maxzmum credib~e earthauake to be expected is ane'
with a magni~ude o~ 6.S on the Richter scale.
in Butte Coun~y, ~he intens~~y ta be ~xp~c~e~ from an earth-
q~ake is VIII, with some 1oca~ variatio~s of VI.I to IX on
the Nlodi~ied Mercalli scale. The intensity, as measured an
th~s sca~~, as an expression of the damage done to structures
dux~ng an earthquake. ~axt of the scal~ is paraphras~d below:
V~~ Unre~n~orc~d buildings with good wo~kmanship~
and maxtar su~~er crackang; weak ch~mn~ys bxeak;
some p~aster fa~~s.
VIIZ Damage ~o, and some part~a~ co~Xapse o~, well-
buil~ but unreinforced bui~dings; same damage
to reinfo~ced buixdings; stucco ~a1~s; chimneys
an~ e~eva~ed ~anks ~wis~ and fa~~.
; xX Heavy damage ta, and some cample~e co~~apse af
unxein~orced bu~~d~ngs; seraous damage ta xe-
xn£orced bua~dings; g~neral damagE ta ~ounda~ions.
Structuxal damage may occur and ~s ~escribed in the Modified
Mexca~~i scale, (expxessed in,~erms of va~ious kinds of b~ildings
and xela~ed structuxes, bu~ does no~ include effec~s on mobile
homes).
Mobile homes are typical~y supported by concret~ px~;rs,
cin.der blocks, wood cribbing or stee~ jacks and are nat
generally tied to the supports or otherwise braced ar ~a.~d
to the ground. Mob~~e homes, under such czrcumstances, are
not Earthquake resxs-~anf and are po~en~ialZy uns~able.
La.nd Use. 5everal ~housand acres of open space, pr~mara.~y
consisting of forests and grazang land, would b~ converted
to u~ban. uses, creating po~en-~ia1 ru~a~~urban land use conf~icts.
Acoustics. The overal.~ quality o£ the acaus~i.cal. ambience
wou~d decline. This impact ~.s suscep~ible anly to par~ial
m~t~gat'ion (see Sectio~ 4.1).
Pub~~:c Heal.~h. The pxevale-nce of ~ree hole mosqui~oes (Aedes
s~.~rr~risxs), which infects dog.populat~ons wi~h HeartiJOrm, poses
a serious risk ~o domestic pe~s. An ancrease 2n ~he incidence
o~f S~. ~ouis Encepha~itis, a disease which is ~art~c~~.arly
severe on the elderly, would be expected.
61
Circulation. Leve~s a~ sexvice o~ various roads would
ecline, incr~as~ng ~raffic congestion and travel time.
~raffic hazards would also increase.
~ixe Pro~ection. The natuxal fire hazard in the project
axea is ra~ed High tfl Extreme. A large natura~ fire ~n
the area would exceed ~he capabilities of 1oca1 fi~e
suppression resources. The ~imited number of eme~gency
exi~ routes from the Upp~r Ridge poses a serious threat
~o the populatxon xesiding ~here.
The But~e County F~re Depaxtmen~ antic~pates that resi-
dential deve~apment of the Upper Ridge wi11 po~entially
~ncxease ~he number of structuxal £ires and number a~
medical aid calls.. Othex £ixe hazards created by Iat

i~cr~ase the demand for emergency £ire service. 5ince
emexgency reserves in the community water supp~y ~ar

I~fxod~ction. The analysis of air auax~ty ~mpacts in ~hxs
repflrt is ased upon data derived £rom a variety of loca~
and state government sourc~s. ~hree principal emissions £rom
mobi~e sou~ces (vehicles) we~e analyzed. These ~nclude:
tatal organic gases (TOG), carban monoxide (CO) and ax~des
af nit~cogen (NOx) .
Other mob~Ie emissions, such as sulfur dioxide (S02) and.
lea~. (PB) are ~reQuently not ava~~.able in standard emissions
reports, and have therefare been amitted from the pxesent
discussion. For the same reason, data on st~spencled particu-
lates have not been included here.
Methodology. This analysis fol.~.o~rs the methodolagy set
forth in California Air Resources Board Rep~r~, "Procedures
and Basis fax Estimating on Road Motor Vehicle Emissions"
(1980). The vehicle ma~es ~rave].ed {VMT} approach is u~ed
to determine total mobile source emissaans which cauld re-
sult from project a.mplementatian. Factiors involved in this
approach include ~o~a1. project-genera~ed vehi.c~.c: ma.les
traveled (ADVMT) and a composite emissian facfor (C~~) which
is representative af the vehicu~.ar m~x af the area. Resu].ts
are in the ~arm of average d.aily emzss~ans ~flr TOG, CO and
NOx.
To~al veh~c~.e mi~es traveled {ADVMT) is based upon the
~ estimated number a~ average dai~y trips (ADT) ge~erated
~or each land use category and average txip length (A'~L).
62
~ ~-
The esfimate for ~he average trip len.gth in the Paradise
urban axea is ~.5 miles. The average num~er of dai~y
trips per hous~hald amounts to 9.
An estimated ~3,097 dwellang units now exist with~.n the

Veh~culax em~ssions (TOG and CO) show a slxght decline
in fhe ~roject area by 1995 from I980 levels, though NOX
appears to increase margina~ly (from I.bO to 1.76 tons
per day). A~tha~gh GO and NOx emissions exhibit substantial
increases over 1980 levels, ~heir xatio ta avera~l County
~EVE~S increase ~y less fha~ ~hree percen~ (£ram ~2.57o to
15.12%}.
Since fu11 buildou~ would no~ occur ~ax several decades,
p~ajected vehic~e emission levels beyand ~he year 2000 are
high~y specu~ative. Technological innova~ion in power
p~ants and fuel sources, and use of alternative modes of
trave~ may actuall~ decrease vehic~e emissions below 1980
~evels. Overall, mobile emissians that would accur from
adoption of the proposed project are not considered serious.
Stationary Emiss~ons. 5ince there axe no major industries
in operat~on ~n~the~pxaject area, and none planned in the
proposed General Plan revision, no significant emission im-
pacts are expected f~am s~a~iflnary sources. Most stationaxy
emissions will continue to be produced by sma1X scale com-
mercial aperations, woadburning stoves in residential dwellings,
constxuction operations, ~he burning of natural fue~s when
land clearing accurs.and when leaves ar slash are..~..~ncinerated
by_.individua~ residents. • . ~
The fo~~owing enviranmental concerns have only a 1imi~ed
adverse ef~ect on ~he environmen~, or no adverse impact at
ax~.
Floodzng. Due to sail types tha~ provide moderate to excellent
dra~nage ~n predominan~ly rolling hi1l tapagraphy, and th~
presence o£ several natural drainage and stream channels, no
substantaaZ ponding is expected to occur from stoxm runoff.
The Butte County Pub~ic Works Depaxtmen~ has ver~fied that no
significant storm ~rainage pxablems have been reported in the
project ar~a. ~ntense ~ains for long ~urations would, o~
course, produc~ spot ponding and hea~y runoff over ~mperv~aus
surfaces. Th~se ~mpacts~wou~d nof normally cause majar damage
to stru~tuxes and ~acili~ies, and the condition wo~ld
temporari~y exist.
Acoustics. An increase in certa~n reszdential and commercial.
ac~ivi~ies in the project area would ~nvariably raise gen~rax
ambient noise levels. Incxease noise ~evels from these saurces
are not exp~ct~d ta aavexse~y impac~ receptars. The Ld~ o~
60 dB: (~xter~ax) and 45 dB (in~erior) wauld nat b~ seriausly
vio~ated.
67
Visual. Retention of large portians of the projec~ site
~n Timbex Mo~ntain, Public and Grazing and Open Land land
use categories would ~ain~ain much of the visual qua~ity
in the area; furthermore, much of the praposed development
wi1~ occux under the Agricultural-Resident~al designa~ion,
at vexy 1ow d~~51~1E5 (see Table 2).
Land Use.. Whi~e some incampatibilit~es among different
lan~ uses are unavoidable, tha proposed prajec~ wou~d mini-
mize certain conflicts. ~pen areas adjoin low ta ver~ 1ow
density residential uses, and very Iittle (less than 1.5
percent) o~ the project sate ~s proposed for commerc~al
development. Planned commercial areas are primari~y confined
to the Skyway, and no industrial ~and uses have been pro-
posed.
Energy Use. Most bui~dout in the Uppex Ridge axea would be
~ocated ~ive to eigh~ miles from retail shopping stores in
Faradise. Upper Ridge residents would no~ likely commute
to Oraville ar Chico for rou~ine ~ood, veh~cle and household
needs. Majo~ purchases, however, wauld more probably occur
~n one of those two val~ey tawns. For fhese r~asons, energy
use from vehicles is not expec~ed to be excessive. Increased
e~ectrica~ and natuxal,or pxopane gas use wi~l also occur as
a resul~ of bui~dout. Demand should be commensux~te wit~n
other low density residential areas.
Water Quality - Reservoirs. Storm r~na~~ from residen~ial
a~eas along the sou~heast shore of Magalia Reservoir, and
various properties surrounding Paradise Lake may contribute
a slight amou~t.of sediment and/or pollutants ~o the reservoirs.
Setback require~en~s, existing zones having large minimum
parcel siz~s, and terrain tha~ slopes away from the resexvoirs
in many peximeter loca~ians would reduce or elim~nate runoff
hazards.
L055 0~ Key Wild~ife Habitat. Develo~ment of the project
area wi11 reduce the carry~ng capacity of wild~~fe habitaf
and increase exis~ing w~ld~ife/res~dential d~velopment con-
~licts. Histarically, the Parad~~e Ridge was important key
wildlife habi~at. However, th~ majarity a£ ridgeland areas
are no longer considexed impor~an~ critical habitat from a
regional perspective becausE af past axea development (ex-
cessive habitat loss, wild~ife encroachments, harassm~nt).
(Re~~x ta page ~4 of the Envi~onmental Setting, and to
Ca1~fo~nia Depar~ment o~ Fish and Game ASBT maps). Exceptions
ta ~his include the De Sab1a area and the eastern Feather
River canyon,

The remaaning habi~at value o~ the area wi11 be further
reduced as area growth contYnues . Cumulative 11T1~1~.C'~5 0~
development and increased wildlz~e/human population con-
~l~.cts will cause add.ational wild~.i~e habitat Ioss .
The northern ar~a o~ the project (De Sab~.a environs) re-
~ains some good habita.t value. Likewise, the canyan areas
are largely undisturbed, with sua.table habitat q,uality
(although the migratory deer populata.ons prefer ridgelands).
Almost thc entire canyon terrain an~. laxge axeas o~ the
nor~.hern rid.ge ar~a are proposed far TM, GOL, or Pubiic
land use ca~egaries (xec~uir~ng large parcels}. S~.ch 1an~
use designations w~i~1 ~rovide habitat protection of these
areas. A~sa, ~any of the proposed AR ].ands have exi.sting
laxge-parcel zoning, or are pro~osed for such zoning (TM~20,
TM-40, TP-1b0).
However, ~wo ma~or areas o£ conc~r~ frorri a habitat perspec~~ve,
proposed for AR designatian which would pexmit sma1.~. parc~l.
land use, include: ~
1. The De Sab1a area, north o~ De Sa~Ia Reservair.
2. The Jordan H~l~ -.Whiskey F1at area in ~he Fea~.her
_. River canyon. ~
Appendix 5 contains a le~~er from the Cala.~ornia Department
of Fish and Game expressing ~his concexn. Maintenance o~
the existing TM-20 zoning wauld re~uce fhxs ~.mpact.
Loss o~ Patential Ta.mber Lands. Most of the Parad~se Ridge
has suitab~.e envi.ronme~tal conda.tions for the production of
commexcial timbex (gaod soil, terrai~, and climatic conditions}.
The proposal tivill impase restricfYOns on the major~.ty o~
project lands fa~ cammercial ~imber pxoductian. However,
most of the area's timber ~roduction value has already been
severely reduced from existi~g residential development or
numerous parcel divisions.
Ex~osure ~to Natural Hazards. 5ome residen~s and ~roperty
would be exposed to risks or hazards from landsiides, ex--
pansive soil behavior, subsidence, or earth movement. ~and-
s~.ide or o~her mass movemenf hazards exist.:on ~he steeper
5~.0~~5. These natura~ canyon hazards could be increased if
soil staba.~~.ty i.s reduced by grada.ng on slopes an.d cons~.ruction
activi~y. Conformance to ~.ocal and state building codes,
careful site design and constructian, and imp~ementation of
praper erosi.on control techniques c~uring construction will
reduce these hazards.

dangered wildlife species. However, the area as adjacent

~ec~ive land use designations and zaning dzs~ricts (40-acre
minimum parcels), reducing project impacts.
4.4 Cumulative ~mpacts. The £olxow~ng site specific impac~s,
discussed in eaxlier sec~ions, are also considered cumulative
in nature. They include air quality (5ection 4.3), hydrology
[Sections ~.1 and 4.3), acaustics (Sections 4.1 and 4.3),
ci~culation (Section 4:I), education (Section 4.~), erosion
(5ection 4.1) and vegetation/habitat [~ect~an ~.2). ~ncreases
~n demand ~ar public servic~s and asso~iated cos~s would
cumu~at~ve~y impact thE Sheri£~'s Depar~ment, health care
provis~on, u~ility extensions and raad maintenance. Thes~
latter cumulative impacts are potentially signi~~cant, de-
pending upon popula.tion grflwth, service standards and
plann~d ~xpansaon o~ serv~ces in ~he projec~ area.
4.5 Growth Inducement. Since most growth in the projec~ area
wi11 occur as housing develapm~nt, rESidentia~ buildou~ is
expected to znduce only a madest increase in the retail
ser.vice sec~or, primarily located a~ong the Skyway. R~gged
mountainous terrain and a limited amount of space for suitable
building sYtes will further res~rict growfh in the area.

A~sth~tics. The conversion of natural environments to urban

may ~itigate this effect to some extent, the su~stitution of
exotic plants and treas for native species xs not conszdered

p1a~~ p~, la~ions, which are highly'~."~~sceptible ~o dis-
turbance; extirpat~an from the reg~on is a r~sk. 5~nce
many rare plants potentially provide ~se~ul in biolagical
r~search, or have pracfiical applicafiion in the development
of consumer com~adi~ies, loss of a p1an~ species would
forever remove that potential.
Geolo~y. Unique geologic formations, formed over a pexiod
of centuries, may be disturbed, or in some instances destroyed
by surraunding urban development.
Archaeology. Disturbed ar destray~d archaeological si~es

be pxo~ected far study, other sites may be inadve~tently
disturbed or removed.
7.0 ALTERNAT~VES TO ~HE PROPOSED PROJECT
7.I Na Praject. The No~Project a~ternafive would Ieave the
existing General Plan designat~ons and zones for the Uppex
Ridge area in~act. This op~ion wau~d result in ~ar grea~er
urban developmen~ in fhe project site, and incr~ase ~he size
and densi~ies of ~he fu~ure popu~ation in th~ area. This
consequence Wou1d result in a substant~al increase in the
number of s~gnifica~t adverse e~~ects to the environment,
and a probab~e increase i~ th~ir sevexity. Moreover, many
designated land uses in the curxent General P1an do not
xealistically address lim~tations of tapography, circu~ation
netwarks, ox avaz~abilify of adeauate public s~rvices. And
finally, ex~st~ng Xand.uses in the project site do nfl t
sufficie~txy re~lect Genera~ Plan d•esignatians, no~~ do zdnes
satzs~actorily represent those land uses.
7.2 Reduce Land Use ~ntensity. A greater arnount a£ open space
coul e incorporate inta the ~roposa~, ~hus p.reserving moxe
o~ the natural enviranment. ThYS goal must be weighed agains~
existing cond~tians, where large ~umbers o~ paxcels have
already bee~ developed in the pxaject s~~e; that development.
should be recagnized. ~n arder to preserve natural features
and the area's rural moun~ain character where possible, the
proposed General P~an amendment subsfan~ially reduc~s ~esi-
dential densities cantained in ~he current Land Use Element,
whi~e decreasing the amaunt of Iand assigned to G~L, TM and
Public categor~es by 20 percent. The "trade-o~f" allows
67o af projected gxawth to be directed into an Agricultuxal-
Residential classification, wi~h most of ~he remaindex proW
posed £or a LDR categary. The txemendaus increase in A-R
acxeage contain~d in ~he pro~ose~ project xepxesents an
accepfable strategy ~or main~aining large poxtions of existing
vege~a~ion intact in xesidentaal areas.
7.3 Increase 0 en S ace Throu h Resi~entia~ C~us~erin . The
Planned Area C~usfier PA-C zonE permits the
construction o~ clustered hous~ng, which usua~ly preserves
71
a grea~er area of open space than found in conventional
site ~esigns. While this a~~ernative has the advantage
~f preserving moxe of the natural habitat, many pexsans
find the design incompatibl~ wath theix desire for separate
~~ving areas with greater privacy and exc~usive use o~ an
~ndividua~~y owned parceZ. Clustered housing o~~en i~cludes
at least ane at~'ached (shared} wa~1 ~n the dwelling or
garage.
7.4 Reduc~d A~rzcul~ural-Residentxa~ Acxea~e in Remote
Moun~aanous Terrain. Approxlmate~y 1bD acres o£ ~and
esignated Agx~cultuxal-Res~dentia~ in th~ pra~ec~ proposal
located on the slopes east o~ the West Branch of the
~eather River, have very ~ew suitable bui~ding site$.
Jordan Hi11 Road, a rugged, ~wisting un~mproved road,
provides access fo ~his acreage. Slapes xange from 25
percent to 50 percent, with an average gradient a£ 30
pexcent. Most of the area is undeveloped.
Due to the ~emo~eness of this acxeage, limited access and
rugged terra~n, perpe~uation of the existing Timber-
Ma~ntain designation for this land would appear a more
appxopr~ate land use than AgricuZ~ura1-Residential. The
general area surrounding the sub~ect 160 acres is currently
des,ignated Tim~be~-Moun~ain and Public. Both of ~~hese
classifications pxesen~ the ~advantage o~ pxeserving large
amounts of open space in a mountainous area for future
recreational and aesthetic uses.
7.5 Permane~t Retention of Pro osed Zon~s. Under ~he zoning
prapose ~ox t e pro3ect site, pa~en~ial buildout wou~d be
much more curtailed than al~owed under maximum densities
far praposed resident~al land use cat~ga~ies. An estama~ed
5,080 persons res~de in tha Upper R~dge area in approximately
2,160 dwelling unifs. These units represen~ an esfimated
one-fhird of existing paxcels approved ~ox development
(i,e., a total of 7,200 ~arcels have been approved £or
resident~al construction). Under proposed pro~ect zonesl
another 1,000 dwelling uni~s may be bui~~, yielding a~ota1
o~ $,200 units.
Based on proposed land use.ca~egories in the Genera3 Plan
revision, ~aximum potential buildout would permit the
erection of + 15,90b dwelling units. Adopt~on and xetention
a£ proposed zanes ~hat would a11ow the construc~ion of only
8,Z00 dwelling unzts amounts to sligh~ly more than 5~% of
the theflxetical maximum ~umbex un~er propased land use
categories.

Dear Mr. Ne~.son:
Thank you for the oppor~uni~y to review and comment on ~.he NOP
fo~ the Paradise IIppe~ Ridge and Lime Saddle Community Se~vice
Dzstrict Gene~al P1an Amendmen~t for about 30 squa~e miles in
Butte County (SCH 81Q20322). The D~partment recommends the
fol~owzng potez~'~ial pro~ect impacts be addressed in the ETR:
~.. Impacts on watersheds, watex quality, and aquatic
nabita~s caused by drainage, flood con~rol px~ojects,
and imperviaus surfaces.
2. Loss of endangered, ra~e, or sensi~.ive p~.ant ar~d
wildlife species wh~.ch occur in the area.
3. Th~ ~se.o~ l.azge parcel zoning ~o mitiqate i.mpacts
on wa.~.dJ.ife.
4. Specif~c mitigation measures in areas of deer rang~
shou~.d inc~.ude:
a. A 20-acr~ mina.mum parcel. s~.ze (~0--acre minimum
parcel s~.z~ to~ key winte~ range).
b. Pex~imeter fencing be limited to '~h~ee or faur
stxands of barbwire allowi.ng free dee~ movement.
to occur. Barrier fenci.ng (i.e., hogw~re, boa~'dr
or'~co~~a~. ~ype) shall not be used as a perimeter
~ence except ~.o enclase the immediat~ yard or
garden area.
S. A~.~eration o~ riparian vegetation should be ~imitecl
to ~he minimum necessary for stream cro~sing.
:Mr. Ear~ D. Nelson -2- March 5, 198~
6. A lOQ-faot buffer or no bui~ding setbac~ ~rom each

The California.Department o~ Foxes~ry and ~utte County Fire Department have
~viewed yaur proposed general p,~an.change for t~.is area and have the fo7.~.ow~ng
comFnents : ~ ' ~
l. F~.re Pro~ec~~.on: Increase 3n the housing densi~y ~n the northern part of
the pxopnsed GPA by a11ow~.ng for changes ~o zones of smal~.e~ parcels causes
in.Creased inc3.dents, more hazard creation, and higher r~,sk af f3.re.
a. More parce~.s allows for more xes3.dences and p~ople to move ~.nta ~he
wild~and areas wa.thout adequa~e ~~xe protec~~.an standards. Mpx~ serv~ces,
{i.e~.) medical a~.d ca~~.s, struc~ure and wi~dland fires, and publ~.c
assists w~1~ ensue. This wi~l increase costs.
b. A1lowing h~.gher density wi3.l cause the creatio~. a~ more fire hazard
situations, (i,.e.} 1ot clearing, debris burn~ng, equipment use.
c. Higher density m~ans moxe people ~.n or ad3acen~ to wild3.a~.d areas.
Higher pop~lations have a d3rect in~rease relationship to the number a~
f~xe starts. This ~Lmpacts bo~h wildland and 1oca1 ~ire prp~ec~3.on by
(1) increasing ca11s, and, (2) compounding con,~ro1 efforts.
2. Resource Management: Increasing densi~ias and decreas3ng parCel s3ze has
Che following negative efrfects on the northexn portian of the a£fec~ed area.
a. Grading for lo~s, accass roads and improvemen~s increases soil e~osion
and r.hanges natural drainage patiterns. This causes an increase 3n ~he
~ree znsect and disease problems due ~o disturbance.
b. Chan.ges speczes composit~.on of na~ural fl.ora by introduction of e~atic
(non--native) species o~ plants and ~rees.
c. Signifricanr~.y reduces (in ~ha J.ong run) ~he avazlable acreage for ~imber
produ~tian, thereby affecting a ma~or agxicul.tural crvp of ~his area.

each of ~he parcels developed at an average density a£ 2.~ persons per

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMFEN~~L EVALUATSO~ (continued)
22h: The proposa~ as a wl~olo (General Plan Amendment an~ Rezane) is an
improvement ovex the existin~ Lan~ Use A~a~ for the Paradise Area. The
medium cl~nsity residential in t~~.e ~'a~ad.ise Pines area is pro~posed ~or a
Low Density Resic~en~ial designatian and large ac~ea.ges near ti~e A~agal.ia
and Paradise Reservoirs are Pxopased ~o~ a land use clesignatian of
Public.
Three areas of potsn~i.a~ concern (see items 8a,la) are tne .~ardan IiiI1
Road axea anc~ the areas to the ~f.-N.E. of th.e two reservoirs. From an
initiaJ. eva~uatiozi, it is recortriend~c~ ~hat al~~rnative land use desigatians
(ancl zaning} be considered in these areas. ~n rela~.ion to the ttvo res-
ervoirs, Pliil Ke~ly, Manager of P.I.D, comme~~ted that efforts had been
made by the Planning Gommission proposal ~o insure that the watershe d
areas were protectied. A buffer area desi~nated as Public on ~he N.E.
sxde a~ ~he AZagalia R~servoir and an enlarged area of the Public desig-
nation on tl~~ N.E. sicle of the Paraclise Reservoir {perhaps up to th~
neaxby sectian of Cou~oleric Road) may bc a resonable alternative.
22c: The pbtential2y si.gni£i.cant ini~acf.s on a cumulative basis are
those marked with a"maybe" or "yes" xes~onse in '~he checki~st.
It should he notecl that each parcel map, subdxvision map, use permit,
or o~.hex such land use proposal.will be suhject to review by the
appropriate Butte County departmen~s and state ag~ncies. The effects ~
of each ~roject wi~.I be addressed more clearly with a speci£ic propo~aZ
availab~e for review. Various a~ternat~ves to individual prajects and

concerns, contact the staff from th~ approprzate agencies.
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The traf~ic impacts were not campletely assessed concern~ng the
two-lane portion of~ State Route 191. The report shou~d also
addr~ss impacts to the Skyway In~erchange at Highway 99.
DEPAR~AIENT OF F~SH AND GAME
'~he depart~ent r~co~nends that the proposed mi~.igatian measures
in -the ~eport be adopted as a candit~.on of co~znty app~oval.
Concerns espec~.ally emphasized are: the estab~~.shment of 20-acre
zninimum parce~s, a 100-foot streamside buffer non-struc~ure zone
estab~ished along waterways, buff~r zanes ta protect endangered
or rare plan~.s, and Ia~ge parcel zon~.ng to be established in and
at the edg~ of canyans.
When pr~paring the final EIR, yau ~nus~ incl~tde a~I. cornments and
responses (E~R Guide~irzes, Section 1.5146) . The certified EIR
must be conside~ed in ~.he dec~sinn-making px~ocess for the project.
Zn additian, Cae urge you ~.o respond directly to the agencies'
comments by writing to them, including the S-tate Clearinghouse
numbex on all caxrespondenc~.
Sec~.ion 15002(f) of the CEQA Gu.idelines requires that a govern-
mental agency take certazn. actions i.f an EIR shaws subs~a~~~a~

Dis~rict d~ has reuiecaed the draft EIR for the genera~ p~an
amendments in the Paradise Upper Ridge and Lime Saddle area.
The traff~c impacts on State P.oute 191 are not comp~.etely
assessed, particu~.arly with respec~C to the ~wo-~.a~n~ portion
of the State highway. The chart on page 50 shows tha~ the
Hi~hway 191. {Clark Road) /Pearson Road intersection coul.d have
a J.eve~. of service o~ C/D after maximun bui~.dout o~ the pro ject
area. This ~evel of service is based on a four-T.ane facility.
However, this is on~.y a two-~ane intersection. The four-~.ane
section of C1ark Road does not begin ur~ti~. pas~ Bushm~in Road,
approxirnately a qczart~r-mi~ ~ so~.th of the intersection, The
two-lane section does not have the ability to handl.e the vol-
umes as predicted .
~`h~ report shou~.d also address impacts to the Skyway Interchange

Envaronmen~al Review Dare~tor's Res onse: Comments
clarifying the tra~fic con~~taons and potential impacts
at the in~ersection of Highway 191 (Clark Road) with
Pearsan Road are corxect. The dxaft EIR do~s note in
~h~ traffic ana~ysis discussion in Sectian 4.1: Significant
Adverse Tm~acts and Mitigation Measures, ~hat Ievels of
servic~ would be waxse than indicated where road widths
narrow and the angle a~ curve radii increases (reducing
s~ght distance and safe travel speed). Levels of service
would, o~ course, substan~ial~y decline fox 4-lane roads
where ~hey narrow to 2 ~anes.
There may be project impacts on the 5kyway Interchange,
since Skyway is the primary tra~~ic corridor between Chico
and the Paradise area. However, a rather de~ai~ed analys~s
of destinations and origans would be re~uired to accurately
assess project impacts as a proportion of tota~ ~raffic
pass~ng through ~he Interchange. Many residen~s who reW
side in the Paradise area may choose o~her routes ~o ~E~Ch
State Highway 70 ox Oroville. Some undoubte~~y will cQn-
~ine their ~rips to Paradise and would nevex reach the
Highway 99 intersectian. The direetzona~ camposi~~on at
new traf~i~ volumes gene~at~d by the propased ~roject would
be~ifficult fo ascertain without substanf~a~ research. This
is beyond ~hE scope of this Environmental Impac~ Repart.
The preparation of a compr~hensive circu~atian plan that
addxesses ~uture gorwth and solutions ~o patential problems
woul~ be ~he logical document addressing simzlar traffic
cancerns throughout But~e County.

Our specific concer~z wyth ~'urther u.rbaniza~ion ~.n. ~he
fbothill. a~eas is ~he high risk of tree hole mosqua.tos~(Aedes
s~.errenS~.s) which arE naturaTly present, and which only became
a~est when peap~e t~y ~o li,ve near where ~hey b~eed. ~ree hole
mosquitos are apparen~Ely a very good vectar of Dog Heartworm,
with our best est~xuate of dog.infec~ion in the Paxadise area
abaut ~50~. ~'rea~ment and preven.~ion o~ ~hese worms a.s ~cos~~.y,
and preve~.~ion requares daily mediea~~on a~ any time~mosquitos
are present.
Our funds and capaca:~ty-~o con~rol the masqu3~os does~no~
3~.crease nearl,y as ~apic~.~y as the anticipated demand ~'or serv~.ce
from peo~l~ maving ~a.to ~he~r maun.tain areas. Heart ~worm is . no-~
high risk for hum:ans, and we are prepared~to talera~e even higher

resources ~o work on the other Zess p~evalent species of

If ~he popula~ion which is expectad ~o come inta ~his area

Yellow jackets are another patent~al ~isk to people who

Page -9- Item 2.2 "Project Object~v~s". The five object7ves showri do not re-
flect concern for effects of land use upon water quali~y. It is my understand-
ing that the ef~ects of lar~d use upon wa~er q~aality is in fact ar~ nbj~ct3ve af

Gommen.t 1: "5to~m runoff" and "dry months" are nat in-
congr~.ous, si~ce s~orms do occasiona~.l.y occur i.n the
summextime, producing runoff. Th~s runa~~ genera7.ly
carries a higher concentration o£ pollu~ants, since
~~ushing and ailution fac~ox~s have much less e~fect ~han
dur~.~g th~ "wet months" or rainy season.

TII. DxSCUSSIQN OF ENVIR4NMENTAL EVALUAT~ON
Analys~.s o~ the proposed project is based on the maximum develop-
ment potcntia~ allowable under th~; proposed Znd~strial land ~se
designataon and under the probab].e M-1 zone on this ll+ acre~site.
The proposed changes ar~ to ~ess restricti.ve desig~a'tions and zona.ng,
more intensive land uses.
lb,e; 3b,c; 16e: Based on maximum deve~opment af the 11+ acre site
thc~re is a potential for 80 to 100% imperv~.ous sur~acing in an '
Tndustrial area a~.d.M--1 zone. Th~.s could create additional runoff
in~o the intcrma.ttent stream which flows in.to Wyman Ravine about
1 z miles sauth. Erosion may also be a factor. Ari en~.arged bridge
strucfure at Kusel Raad and channel improvemen.~s downstream may be
needed to accommadate adda.tional runoff. According ~a ~he Wyman
Ravine Watershe~ Drainage Study, the bridge at Kuse~ Road has a 10
year storm capacaty of 2b0 cubi~ ~eet per secand (cfs)~~and a I80 year
storm capaci.ty of 400 cfs.
lh: This site is locafed in an 'actiue earthquake area. As mandate~.
by sfate law, new structures shouJ.cl. meet earthquake reszstance
standards.
2b: Some of the uses permitted a.n industrial areas and in a~a.ght
industrial zone coul.d create objecfionable sma~Ce, fumes and/or odo~s.
A use permit would be needed far potentia.I uses wha.ch might be
objectionable in these ways.
3j: Due to the inadequate bridge struef.ure at Kusel Road, s~orm
water runoff may, at times, i~ack up along the drainage swale all
the way ta Lincaln Boulevard. This tributa~y sectian o~ Wy~an
Rava.ne ~.s re~atively flat and unde~ined in this vic~nity. Rcgrading
the parti.an~~. a~ the ~.rainage way traversa.ng the property, and
possi~Iy o£~-s~.~e to the north an.d south as necessary, may be
required by Public Woxks far future deve~opment af the property. The
bridge structure w~I1.~~ikely neea ~o be en~arged. Tt may be possible
to share ~he cos~ wi~h oth~rs affecting fihis drai.nage ~asin such as
the 54 acres of Tri-Ilalley Contractors. (formerly ,7ames Clanton)
which may soon have indus~xial. develapment (currently thxee paxcels
o£ abaut S acres and ane of 38 acres),
6a: Some uses permitted could create a cansa.derable increase in noise

requzre obta~ning a use permit. Increase in traf~ic ~~.ow wou~.d
also increase noise 1.evels.

create 1igh~ and glare, paxtzcularly from security lighting and when
buildings are constructed o~ re~lective materials.
$a: According ta the Butte County General Plan, th~s site is
designated law denszty xesidential. Mos~ of the adjoining parcels
except for 54 acres to fhe noxth are also designa~ed Iow density
xes~dent~al. Zoning ~s A-R and C-1. The closest A~-1 zane is
approximately ~20 feet to the north (of ~he east portion of the
projec~ site; M-2 zoning is to ~he west wi~hin ~QOd ~~et+}. The
nearest Indust~ial land use designations are nearly adjacen~ to the
north and ? mile northwest. This proposal would expand ~he
~ndustrial land use category and industrial zoning in an area
designated for residential use and wh~ch is currently zoned far only
light commercial uses as we~~ as th~ residential uses. ~Such a
change ~or the subject praperty may continue a preceaent in the area
for industrial grawth. The amendmen~ ~o Indus~r~a~ £ar James T.
Clanton (AP 36-27-50 ~ 5~) was approved on January ~5, ~98Q followed
by approval of a rezone ~o M-~ on May 6, i980.
Sb: The Wynoka Ham~ subdivision is currently undex development, and
the proposed Vis~a De1 Cerro subdivision is to be developed 4~ mile
to the north of this site. The so~thexn port~on o~ that project will
be ~us~ south of V-1 Road. Other scattered residences ax~ also
in proximity ~o the project. Th~ potential MW1 zone may be cansidered
ancampatible with the 5 to 6 residential uses on th~ west s~d~ o~
Lincaln ~oulevard and may ge~erate some controversy.
13a,b: A cansiderab~e ancrease in tra~fic cou~d resu~t upon maximum
deve~opment of ~he ~1~ acre site depending on the type of development
~hat takes p~ace. Sncreased parking needs would alsa result. The
Butte Gounty Zoning Ordinance, Sec~ian 24-33 requires of~-stxeet
loadang and park~ng be provided,
~3c,d: ~he mos~ recent traff~c caunts~ in the area are: (1977-79
Pu~1ic Works Dep~.):
Lincoln, ~orth of Monte Vista at 5454 AD~ ~('77)
L~ncaln, sauth of Mante Vista at 6000 ADT ('77)
Lxncoln, south of Ophir at 5200 ADT ('79}
and 4phir Road, west of L~ncoln at I850 ADT ('79)
(*19$I,traf~~c counts will soan be available for this area.}
Warehouses used for storage and/or transf~r o~ goo~s are exp~cted
to generate about ~.7 daily vehicle ~~ips pex 1,000 ~eet grass
~1oar area. Tf l0a af the total acreage is u~ilize~ for buildings,
tra~~ic counts would be increased by about 230 vehicular ~rips per
day. This~2n conjunc~io:~"wi~h the 109~ veh~eular.t~ip~ per day
es~ima~ed for the 54 acres ~o the noxth, ~s a cons~dexabxe increase
over current use.
The estimated capaci~y £ox a two lane raad is 8000 ADT. This
projected tra~fic increase from uZtimate development on this site
Append~x ~- page Sa o£ 9
~~5. D~SCUSSION 0~ ENV~RONMENTAL EVALUATION {cant.}
would bring Lincaln traffic volumes (south af Monte Vis~a) ta near '
good-service capacity levels. The Lincoln Boulevard wideni~g project
wi~I go to bid saon; two wider lanes with a shoulder Wou1d be con-
structed s~milar to the section north of Qphir Road.
14: Public services ex~st in the area. The site Iies within the
Oroville Urban Area. The City o~ Oxoville lies 2z miles ta the
narth.
16a: Some potenrial indus~ria~ uses {uti~izing ~ phase power) req~uixe
an industrial designation by the General ~1a~ an~ industrial zaning.
16c: A I2" O.W.I.D, wat~r line is currently being instaX~ed along
the west side of Linco~n Boulevax~ in this vic~nity.
SUMMARY
A~though this pro~ec~ cau~.d result in intensive ~a.ght industrial.
deve~opmen~ an the I~f acre site, the site is not enva.ranmentally
sensitive. ,The surrounc~ing axea is very lightly devel,opec~ and has
a mixture of Iand uses scatte~ed a].ang Lincoln ~lvd. A1so, the
M-1 zoning dis~rict located just to the narth was appxoved by the
coun~.y in May, ~980 upon adop~ion'of ~. Nega~ive Declaration
regarding enviranrr-ental impacts. Another rezane to M--~ was appraved
in December I978 ~or land ta the nor~h-northwest.
Any ~usES in a subsequent M-I zana.ng d.istricf which would be abject-
ionable would be subject to ob'~ai~z~.ng a use pexmit and fux~kher
environmen~a]. analysis woul.d be possii~le. At that ta.me, mi~igation
