Specifically, the violations include: 1. The accumulation of junk in public view. 2. The accumulation of garbage for more than seven (7) days in public view. This is an advisory notice that these uses are in violation of the Butte County Code, as follows: 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. Butte County Code, Chapter 31, Section 31-50 - The owner or tenant of any premises, business establishment or industry shall be responsible for the satisfactory removal of solid waste accumulated on said premises.

Such inert non- flammable materials which are not properly stored shall not be allowed to remain on a premises for more than thirty (30) days.
