RE: Butte County Code Violation
Powellton Road, 3/10 of a mile north of
P.G.&E. Flume
AP#056-230-018
Dear Mr. Frost:
This is a formal warning notice. Pursuant to Butte County Code (BCC) Section 41-2, we sent you a
courtesy notice dated April 9, 1993 notifying you that you are in violation of the Butte County Code at
the above -referenced location. As of this date, the following violation still exists.
Butte County Code Section 24-64 - Applicability of zoning regulations. All used of land within a zoned
district not specifically authorized or permitted by regulations are prohibited.
Pursuant to Chapter 24, Section 24-64, "All uses of land within a zoned district not specially authorized
or permitted by the regulations are prohibited". The TP -160 (Timber -Preserve, 160 acre parcels),
(Section 24-190), 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 an TP -160 zone. "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.
Butte County Code, Section 31-8 - The owner or tenant of any premises, business establishment or
industry shall be responsible for the satisfactory removal of solid wastes accumulated by him on his
property or his premises. Garbage shall not be allowed to remain on the premises for more than seven
(7) days, to prevent propagation or attraction of flies, rodents or other vectors, and the creation of
nuisances. Where garbage and rubbish are containerized together, the period of removal shall be that
applied to garbage.
GARBAGE: Shall include all kitchen and table food waste, and animal or vegetable waste
that attends or results from the storage, preparation, cooking or handling of
foodstuffs and shall include bottles, tin cans, and other containers and papers
contaminated with garbage.
RUBBISH: Includes nonputrescible solid wastes such as ashes, paper, cardboard, tin cans,
yard clippings, wood, glass, bedding, crockery, plastics, rubber by-products and
litter.
