Sellars, LTO # A-1494,PO Box 6292, Chico, CA 95927, 530-893-9727 This exemption is being used to remove timber from an area traditionally used for pasture. Under Section 4527 of the California Forest Practices Act, the conversion of timberland to another use, including residential and commercial uses, constitutes a commercial timber operation and requires that a Timber Harvest Plan or Exemption be filed with and approved by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The Act under Section 4526 defines "timberland" as land that is capable of producing a crop of trees of any commercial species and does not consider the size of the parcel or that the predominate use of the area is non -timber related. This action is entirely to comply with the Forest Practice Rules and in no way affects local zoning regulations and has no bearing on the regulations of any other agency or jurisdiction. The Butte County Department of Development Services, Planning Division, is the local land use planning agency having jurisdiction over this area. For information please contact Daniel C. Breedon, Senior Planner, Butte County Department of Development Services, 7 County Center Dr., Oroville, CA 95965, (530) 538-7601.
