Through our courtesy notice on April 2, 2001, you were notified pursuant to Section 41-2 of the Butte County
Code of the presence of code violations on your above -referenced property. 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. Your failure to eliminate the stated violations ate 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 definitions 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.
Butte County Code, Chapter 24 Section 24-305.451 - Violator. An adult owner, tenant, occupant,
resident or other person having possession, control or any other ownership interest in or the right
of access to the premises, who is suspected or alleged to have violated or to be in violation of any
Butte County Code provisions of the Chapters specified -in Butte County Code Section 24-305.451.
