Dear Mr. & Mrs. Goggia:
This is_a courtesy -notice to notify_ you that you are in violation of the Butte County Code, as follows, at
the above -referenced location.
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 "U" (Unclassified) zone, (Section 24-195), 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 a "U" 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.
REFUSE: Includes garbage and rubbish..
In order to comply with the Butte County Code, you are hereby requested to:
1. Remove all garbage, rubbish and refuse from your property and maintain a regular removal
schedule in accordance with Butte County Code, Section 31-8.

2. Cease and desist in the operation of an auto repair/auto-dismantler business at the above -
referenced address and that you remove, all inoperative/junk vehicles from your property.
The Department of Public Works advises that the public right-of-way is located 40 feet from the center
line of either side of Skyway Street. Vehicles that are parked within this area are required to have
license plates and current registration property displayed. The public right-of-way, whether or not the
entire area is'actually used. for highway purposes, is not to be encroached upon. The term
"encroachment" includes any structure or object of any kind or character placed, without the authority of
law, either in, under or over any County highway.
Although parking of properly registered vehicles is allowed within the public right-of-way, the intent of
this policy is to preclude the permanent parking'and or -storage of vehicles which are not operable on
the public right-of-way, which may create a safety hazard.
In order to comply with the Butte County Public Works policy, you are hereby directed to remove your
vehicle(s) from the public right-of-way.
It is the County's goal to obtain voluntary compliance with the Butte County Code. However, you
should be advised that Butte County has an active Code Enforcement Program which provides an
effective means of enforcement if voluntary compliance is not obtained. Enforcement may be pursued
through the issuance of citations, fines and the recording of a Notice of Violation including a description
of the action necessary to abate the violation.
You have thirty 30 days to voluntarily comply with the above directions or to present an acceptable
plan for abatement or corrective actions to be taken by you. Should you have any questions concerning
this matter, please contact Frank Cook in this office at the address or telephone number listed above.
