The conservative and cumulative nature of the programmatic environmental review prepared for the General Plan update reasonably covers the minor increased development potential attributableto the proposed change in zoning for the project site. The technical analysis of the environmental effects of the General Plan Update (e.g., traffic operation analysis, noise and air quality modeling and analyses) assumed complete build-out of the Land Use Diagram by the year 2030 even though trends indicate that build-out will occur well after In short, there wijl be no additional impacts associated with the proposed rezone beyond those contemplated in the comprehensive and programmatic EIR analysis prepared for the General Plan update. In addition, project specific CEQA review will be required prior to the development or redevelopment of any of the parcels under consideration Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no further environmental review is necessary for the proposed rezone, PUBLIC CONTACT: A summary of the ordinance was published in the Chico Enterprise Record on April 1,2015.

The proposed rezone, adding the-cos overlay zoning district to the site, is consistent with the site's designation of Commercial Mixed Use, its location along a major arterial roadway. and being located within the South Campus Opportunity Site as established 17 in the General Plan. The -COS overlay would allow additional residential development in a location and manner which encourages alternative modes of transportation and more efficient use of land, and is consistent with numerous General Plan policies (LU-1.3, LU-2, LU-2.3, LU-2.3.3, LU-3, LU-3.1, LU-.2, LU-5. LU-5.1, LU-5.1.2, H.3 and H.3.5). No specific plan, neighborhood plan, or area plan applies to the project site.: and B. There are no physical or environmental constraints on the property which would prohibit use of the land consistent with the CC-FS-COS zoning regulations. All utilities are available, and additional multi-family residential development will be compatible with existing multi-family residential in the same block. The project site is physically suitable for denser multi-family residential development, and such development will be consistent with other anticipated land uses along the Walnut Street Page 1 of2
