8-1 A. Introduction a Wide Range of Recreational Facilities And 8 RECREATION A. Introduction A wide range of recreational facilities and recreational programs are found in Butte County, offering numerous recreational opportunities to local residents and visitors. Most public recreational facilities and parks in the unincorporated County are owned and/or managed by one of five large independent special districts, or by various local, State and federal agencies, sometimes in joint arrangements. Others, including some facilities located within the incorporated jurisdictions, are owned and managed by the municipalities themselves. Privately-owned, commercial facilities such as campgrounds, golf courses, and bowling alleys also provide an important range of recreational and leisure activities. This chapter describes all of these various types of recreational facilities in Butte County. B. Regulatory Setting Parks and recreational open space are the most significantly regulated types of recreation facility. Provision of parks is generally regulated through parks planning standards, which set forth requirements for dedication of open space, or payment of in-lieu fees, in conjunction with new development. In 1996, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) published the Park, Recreation, Open Space and Greenway Guidelines. In addition, the NRPA has published best practice guidelines for planning, designing, and implementing green infrastructure in parks, financing green infrastructure projects, and safe routes to parks as well as other resource guidelines that can be used as reference by recreation planning agencies. The guidelines are used by many recreation planning agencies as a guide to develop their own standards for their service areas. These national standards serve as a guideline for measurement and are not designed to be considered absolute requirements. The dynamic population characteristics of a particular park district or local jurisdiction will require a certain amount of subjective analysis and professional experience to quantify and use these standards (or some modification thereof) for effective planning. For this reason, the five major recreation districts in Butte County have their own standards to measure and plan for the recreation demand in their service areas. The following sections provide an overview of the various recreation districts that operate parks and facilities in the county and the park planning standards they utilize, and presents information on park planning standards, as established by the special recreation districts in Butte County. 8‐1 BUTTE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN SETTING AND TRENDS RECREATION 1. Butte County The existing Public Facilities and Services Element of the General Plan supports a comprehensive and high-quality system of recreational open space and facilities. Policies to achieve this goal include reviewing development proposals to designate sites for new parks and recreation facilities and allowing a density increase when parks are incorporated into certain development projects. The existing General Plan does not identify a parkland ratio standard because the County does not actively maintain any parks or recreation facilities. As previously noted, the majority of park and recreational facilities in unincorporated Butte County are owned and operated by the special districts, the boundaries of which are described herein, and which include unincorporated as well as City land. Fees for these districts are assessed for district residents when a facility is developed or improved and those facilities are provided as a public benefit to County residents. 2. Special Districts Five large special independent districts maintain many of the parks and recreational facilities in Butte County. These districts, which encompass most of the county’s land area, operate as “independent” districts, meaning that each district is governed by a board of directors elected by the voters in that district. The districts in Butte County are also non-enterprise districts, meaning that they depend mainly on property taxes for operating revenue, rather than user fees. In addition to the five main districts, two small swimming pool districts in Gridley and Biggs own and maintain community swimming pools there. The various districts in the county, and their adopted parks planning standards, are described below. The boundaries of the districts are illustrated in Figure 8-1. 8‐2 BUTTE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN UPDATE SETTING AND TRENDS RECREATION DISTRICTS City/Town Limits City/Town SOI Recreation District Chico Area Recreation & Park District Durham Recreation & Park District Feather River Recreation & Park District Paradise Recreation & Park District Richvale Recreation & Park District 32 99 Chico Paradise 70 99 191 149 162 Oroville 162 Biggs 99 70 Gridley NORTH 0 2.5 5 Miles Source: Butte County, 2021; PlaceWorks, 2021. FIGURE 8-1 RECREATION DISTRICTS BUTTE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN SETTING AND TRENDS RECREATION a. Chico Area Recreation and Park District The Chico Area Recreation and Park District (CARD) is centered around the City of Chico, and extends north to the Tehama County boundary, encompassing approximately 225 square miles. CARD serves approximately 130,000 residents; 90 percent of the population within the district is found in the urbanized area in and around Chico. Although CARD’s land area is not the largest, it owns and operates the greatest number of parks and facilities of any special district in the county. CARD uses the NRPA standards as a guideline and has adopted its own standards in its master planning effort. CARD adopted the Park and Recreation Master Plan in 2008, which established a parkland target of 1.5 acres of neighborhood parkland per 1,000 residents and 2.5 acres of community parkland per 1,000 residents. In 2019, CARD updated the Park and Recreation Master Plan, but maintained that parkland standard. According to the City of Chico General Plan, one or two community parks and 7 to 14 neighborhood parks are needed to accommodate the anticipated service area population by 2030. The updated Master Plan identifies potential locations for new neighborhood parks and recognizes the need for new community parks. The City of Chico recently published a development impact fee nexus study to evaluate improvement needs to support the city’s growth and development through 2040. The City has not yet provided the results of this study to the Board of Supervisors to request adoption of fee changes to be applied to the unincorporated county. b. Feather River Recreation and Park District The Feather River Recreation and Park District (FRRPD) is centered around Oroville and extends the length of the eastern portion of Butte County, including the City of Oroville and Lake Oroville, Bangor and surrounding rural areas. FRRPD’s boundary is approximately 735 square miles and serves a population of approximately 51,455 people. Other communities served by FRRPD include Palermo, Honcut, and the mountain areas of Feather Falls, Berry Creek, and Forbestown. The FRRPD uses the NRPA standards for evaluating park type and minimum acreage to meet the needs of the community. FRRPD has a Parks Master Plan that was updated in 2020. FRRPD uses the 2020 Parks Master Plan as a resource to inform decision making regarding park facilities in the district. The Master Plan outlines the condition of existing park facilities and provides recommendations to address future park needs for each of the communities served by FRRPD. The Master Plan also includes a service area map, which identifies the location of future community and neighborhood parks. Per the Master Plan, the FRRPD Master Plan Ad-Hoc Committee is required to initiate an 8‐4 BUTTE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN SETTING AND TRENDS RECREATION annual review of the Plan to ensure it meets the park needs of the district and community. FRRPD is currently in the process of completing an update to the Master Plan for 2030. c. Paradise Recreation and Park District The Paradise Recreation and Park District (PRPD) serves the upper and lower Paradise Ridge area, including areas to the east and west, centered around the community of Paradise. Prior to the 2018 Camp Fire, PRPD’s land area encompassed approximately 169 square miles and had a service population of approximately 41,100 persons. PRPD also managed approximately 456 acres of park land and recreational facilities, of which, only 75 acres were partially or fully developed. In partnership with PRPD, the Conservation Biology Institute and the Nature Conservancy completed the Paradise Nature-Based Fire Resilience Project final report in June 2020. The report describes a method of increasing resiliency to fire risks by incorporating wildfire risk-reduction buffers between the wildlands and urban areas. The report recommends five wildfire risk buffer areas around Paradise, Magalia, and Concow-Yankee Hill. PRPD’s 2016-2024 Master Plan has a goal of providing 5 acres of developed park land per 1,000 people. As of 2016, PRPD had about 2 acres of developed park land per 1,000 people in the district. d. Durham Recreation and Park District The Durham Recreation and Park District (DRPD) service area is located south of Chico and contains the communities of Durham, Dayton, and Nelson. The District boundaries are coterminous with the CARD southern boundary and the Glenn County boundary on the west. It encompasses approximately 220 square miles and serves an estimated population of 5,000 persons. DRPD uses a ratio of 6.4 acres per thousand persons, based on the 2014-2024 Master Plan.

    Valley air about to get worse as wildfire smoke has nowhere to go By Corin Hoggard and Dale Yurong Tuesday, September 29, 2020 FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Air quality is about to take a turn for the worse as a changing weather pattern will combine with wildfires to fill the Central Valley with smoke again. The last few months have produced a stretch of the worst air quality on record, according to the Air Pollution Control District. Satellite images show smoke gently blowing from several California fires out to the Pacific Ocean, a weather pattern keeping the Valley's air relatively clean for several days now. "Right now we're seeing the smoke aloft," said Maricela Velasquez of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. "It's above us. But as the week goes through, we'll continue to see that smoke come onto the Valley floor." Here's how: When you have a fire in the Central Valley -- which is essentially just a bowl -- the smoke can usually get out and air quality won't be bad everywhere. But when a high pressure system comes in, it essentially puts a lid on the bowl and the smoke has nowhere to go so it just collects on the Valley floor. "The blocking high, basically, once it sits over a certain spot it likes to stay there for quite a while," said meteorologist Carlos Molina of the National Weather Service in Hanford. Forecasters at the NWS say the lid will sit on our bowl for at least a week. Air Quality Science Director Jon Klassen of the Valley Air District said, "We're expecting that to continue in the coming days." By that time, our air will have collected smoke from the Creek Fire, the SQF Complex Fire, and even more recent fires to our west, like the Glass Fire in the Bay Area.

  • 2 Existing Conditions and Issues
    2 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND ISSUES 2.1 PARK SUMMARY The following section summarizes the significant natural and cultural resources at Bidwell- Sacramento River State Park (Park), as well as surrounding land uses, recreational and aesthetic resources, and interpretive facilities that characterize the existing conditions at the Park. The evaluation of existing conditions focuses on the current boundaries of the Park, but may address a larger planning area for some issues, where data are readily available and important to the understanding of regional resource conditions affecting the Park; moreover, regional-oriented resource information also provides context to information collected for the Park itself. Information on existing conditions is based on the Resources Inventory and Interpretive Prospectus that were prepared for the Park, recent field work, and additional research conducted during the General Plan preparation process. This information provides the baseline data for developing the area plans and goals/guidelines that comprise the foundation of this document. 2.1.1 STATE PARK CLASSIFICATION The State Park System is organized by a multi-level classification system. The classifications are described in Sections 5019.50 et seq. of Article 1.7 of the Public Resources Code. In 1990, the State Parks and Recreation Commission named and classified the Bidwell River Park Project and the Irvine Finch River Access area as Bidwell-Sacramento River State Park. • State Parks. Units that consist of spacious areas having outstanding natural, cultural, and scenic resources. Preservation of these resources for present and future generations is the primary purpose of State Parks. Improvements may be undertaken in State Parks to make these resources and the recreational opportunities they provide available to the public.

  • Strategic Positioning and Campaigning
    1 Introduction To give a sense of the politics of extreme parties, the Appendix lists all candidates in U.S. presidential elections who won at least half a percent of the popular vote. For each election year, the table lists candidates by my reading of their ideology, with the most conservative candidate listed at the top, and the most liberal candidate listed at the bottom. Candidates not belonging to one of the two major parties are shown with an asterisk after the party affiliation. Also shown is the percentage of the popular vote each won. The data begin with the election of 1832, the first election in which virtually all states chose presidential electors by popular vote. Ordering parties by ideology entails some subjective judgment. A prin- cipal difficulty is that for much of the nineteenth century slavery and the consequences of the Civil War were the main issues, whereas in the twenti- eth century economic issues can distinguish parties. I classify Republicans as more liberal than Democrats through the election of 1872. From 1876 (when Reconstruction ended) and thereafter I classify Republicans as more conservative than Democrats. Two features are of note. • Third parties, even popular ones, rarely become major parties. Indeed, only one minor party, the Republican party, ever became a major party. • Most small parties have extreme ideologies, in the sense of not lying between the ideologies of the two major parties. Of the 41 elections, 28 had small parties which won at least 0.5 percent of the vote. Of these 28 elections, only four had a moderate party.
