According to our records, the courtesy notice has not resulted in abatement or correction of the keeping of junk and inoperable vehicles in public view on your property. Your failure to eliminate the stated violations are cause for the issuance of this formal warning notice. As of this date, our records indicate that the following violations to the Butte County Code still exist: Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-65 - Applicability of zoning regulations. All uses of land within a zoned district not specifically authorized or permitted by regulations are prohibited. Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-95 - The AR (Agricultural -Residential) zone does not "specifically authorize" large accumulations of junk. The storing of more than 100 square feet of "junk" on a parcel is one of the items used to determine that a "junkyard" condition exists. A "junkyard" is not an allowed use in the AR zone without a Use Permit. "Automobiles and other vehicles, dismantled, in whole or in part" are considered to be "junk." Chapter 11, Section 11-4 forbids people, whether at a licensed junkyard location or not, from storing junk in public view The determination that this violation exists on the property is based on the following definition in the Butte County Code: Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-305.240 - Junk. Any worn-out and discarded material in general that may be turned to some use including, but not limited to, any old iron, wire; copper, tin, lead, rags, paper, bags, lumber, empty bottles, bones, parts of bicycles, tricycles, baby carriages, automobiles, and other vehicles, dismantled, in whole or in part, kept, stored, located, situated or piled in public view, and all other similar personal property ordinarily defined and classified as "junk" kept, stored, located, situated or piled in public view and not screened from public view by a fence.
