S M T VOTE: 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y 4 Y 5 Y (Unanimously Carried) BUTTE COUNTY BOARD -OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - February 11, 1997 F. Butte County Planning Commission - (Item determined to be a general rule exemption from environmental review) Zoning Code Amendment to either eliminate or change the provisions within Chapter 24 for allowing mobile homes (1976 manufacture date or older) as dwelling units. Affected zones include A-5 through A-160 (Agricultural - 5 through 160 acre parcels), AR-MH through AR-MH-5 (Agricultural Residential Mobile Home - through 5 acre parcels, FR-1 through FR- 160 (Foothill Recreational 1 through 160 acre parcels), H-C (Highway Commercial), M-R (Mountain or Recreation Subdivision - Residential), R-N (Residential - Nonconforming), RT-1 & RT-1A (Residential-Mobile Home), S-H (Scenic Highway), TM-1 through TM-160 (Timber Mountain 1 through 160 acre parcels) (ZCA 97-01) (CBS) Mr. Sanders summarized the Agenda Report. He said that prior installations would be grandfathered in. He noted that the installation of older mobile homes in mobile home parks would not be affected by this Zoning Code Amendment since mobile home parks are regulated by the State., Chairman Seegert noted that this Zoning Code Amendment was initiated in response to concerns about older mobile homes by this Commission, the Assessor's Office, the Fire Department and Building Department . Mr. Sanders noted that the Safety Standards Act of 1974 was actually implemented on June 15, 1976. HEARING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Bob Scherer, a resident of north Meridian Road, said he lives in a group of seven 40 acre parcels. Recently someone bought one of the vacant parcels and installed a cheap dented mobile home without skirting. Mr. Scherer is worried that someone will put up another such dwelling on one of the vacant lots. Commissioner Lambert said that a building permit would have been required for installation of the mobile home. Chairman Seegert noted that mobile homes which are not allowed in nearby Counties are currently allowed in Butte County, which is the reason for this Zoning Code Amendment. HEARING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC Commissioner Cage noted that Glenn County requires skirting on mobile homes. Mr. Sanders noted that the National Safety Standards Act deals with the actual construction of mobile homes, not their placement, which comes under the California Government Code. He IµPLANNING. COMMISSION MINUTES - .December 12 1996___ y� ~ noted that removing the term "mobile home"from the ARMH zone would make that zone have the -exact allowed uses as the AR zone. Commissioner Lynch said the Zoning change would eliminate the term "mobile home" from specific zones. He suggested redefining the definition of"modular home." Mr. Sanders said the definition could remain the same, but residential development criteria could be developed that would apply to all structures, and address such items as skirting. Chairman Seegert asked if this Zoning Change would only remove the term "mobile home" from the permitted uses of the listed zones, and other changes would have to be part of a separate Zoning Amendment. Commissioner Nelson suggested adopting this Zoning Code Amendment as is, and direct staff to develop standards for later review by this Commission. Chairman Seegert suggested that another amendment process be initiated for developing standards. Commissioner Lambert asked if the change from ARMH to AR would need to be a separate action. Mr. Sanders said it should be a separate action, after the Board of Supervisors concurs with this Zoning Code Amendment. Commissioner Cage asked for a definition of "modular home." Mr. Sanders said that would be a unit which was manufactured in accordance with the 1974 Safety Construction Standards Act. "Manufactured home" is not a term used by Butte County, but is typically a 1976 or newer unit. Commissioner Lynch said that basically.a mobile home can'be driven in on wheels; and a modular T T home can be brought in on a flat bed truck and installed by a crane. It was moved by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Lynch, and carried unanimously, to recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance amending Sections 24-90 (A-5 through A-160), 24-100 (ARMH through ARMH-5), 24-110 (FR-1 through FR-160), 24- 115 (MR), 24-125 (RN), 24-130 (RT-1 through RT1A), 24-190 (TM-1 through TM-160), 24-225 (SH), and 24-230 (U) to delete the term "mobile home" from the permitted use section, subject to the following findings in attached exhibit A.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - December 12 1996 AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission FROM: Planner DATE: December 2, 1996 REQUEST: Zoning Code Amendment 97-01, Butte County Planning Commission: A zoning code amendment to either eliminate or change the provisions within Chapter 24 for allowing mobile homes (1976 manufacture date or older) as dwelling units. Affected zones include A-5 through A-160, ARMH through ARMH-5, FR-1 through FR-160, HC, MR, RN, RT-1, RT-1A, SH, TMA through TM-160 zones. This is a County-wide amendment. RELATED ITEMS: None FOR: Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 1996 SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of this application. ANALYSIS: This project proposes to either eliminate or change the provisions within Chapter 24 allowing mobile homes as dwelling units. Currently there are several zones that allow the placement of a mobile home as a primary dwelling unit on a parcel. Affected zones include A-5 through A-160, ARMH through ARMH-5, FRA through FR-160, MR, RN, RT-1, RT-1A, HC, SH, and TMA through TMA 60 zones. The term "mobile home" refers to the definition contained in section 24-305.280 as follows: Mobile Home: A housing structure transportable in one or more Sections,designed and equipped to be used with or without a foundation system. Mobile home does not include recreational vehicle, commercial coach, factory built housing as defined in Section 19971 of the Health and Safety Code or a mobile home certified under the National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S. Section 5401 et seq.), with or without a foundation system,pursuant to Section 18551 of the Health and Safety Code. This definition does not include modular homes or manufactured housing that was constructed to the National Mobile Home Safety Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 commonly referred to as "HUD" mobile homes. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65852.3 requirements, HUD units may be placed on any lot zoned for conventionally constructed single family dwellings. A copy of the applicable State code section is attached. Typically, mobile homes manufactured in California prior to June 15, 1976, will be affected by this change. These older mobile homes are at least 20 to 40 years old, many are in disrepair 0 Butte County Department of Development Services Agenda Report 0 1 and are reaching the end of their useful life. Prior to 1976 many manufactures followed very minimal construction standards making the units hazardous in fires. Both the Butte County Fire Department and the Building Division support the proposed changes to the code for safety reasons. Staff contacted several surrounding counties for their regulations regarding the placement of mobile homes and the results are as follows: Yuba County - 1976 or newer required. Pre-HUD mobile homes are allowed only in mobile home parks. Sutter County - In residential zones, requires mobile homes to be HUD approved and not more than 10 years old. In addition, there are several performance standards including the requirement for a permanent foundation, eave and gable overhangs, and skirting to match the siding. Colusa County 1,974 or newer required, on a permanent foundation. Pre-HUD mobile homes are only allowed in mobile home parks. Glenn County - 1980 or newer required, on a permanent foundation. Units must be a minimum of 14'wide and not less than 700 square feet. In addition, there are several performance standards including a minimum eave overhang, skirting requirements Pre-HUD mobile homes are allowed only in mobile home parks. 1976 to 1,979 mobiles allowed in agricultural zones as long as the meet all of the performance standards. Tehama County - In residential zones, requires mobile homes to be HUD approved, on a permanent foundation, and not more than 10 years old. The County has a "T" overlay designation that allows mobiles of any age without a foundation system. Older mobiles are also allowed in all agricultural zones. Plumas County - No age limitations, but mobiles must be placed on a permanent foundation system unless a "MH" combining zone is applied to the property. As evidenced by the above information, most surrounding counties have significant restrictions on the placement of pre-HUD mobile homes and/or require mobiles to be placed on permanent foundations. Several jurisdictions also have detailed performance criteria for all residential structures including, eave and overhang requirements, roofing material standards, minimum roof slope, minimum siding requirements, and others. By approving this code amendment, the term "mobile home"would be deleted from the allowed use section of the following zones: A-5 through A-160, ARMH through ARMH-5, FR-1 through FR-160, MR, RN, RT-1, RT-1A, HC, SH, and TM-1 through TM-160 zones. In addition, travel trailers will be deleted as'a permitted dwelling from the RN zone. Attached to this report are the proposed text changes to Chapter 24. The changes to the ARMH zones will result in these ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services Agenda Report ❑ 2 zones becoming identical to the AR zones and the change will be a defacto rezone which will change the zoning name on several properties in the County and eliminate the need for the ARMH zones. To maintain existing minimum parcels sizes it is anticipated that existing ARMH-3 properties. would be. proposed for an AR-2.5 It is suggested that a clean-up ordinance be initiated to address this issue. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: This project is exempt from CEQA review under section 15061 (3), the general rule exemption, which states: "CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA." PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS: This application requires that a public hearing be advertised and held. Advertisement of the public hearing was published in local newspapers for all areas of the County. As of the date of this report we,have received no public comment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance amending Sections 24-90 (A-5 through A-160), 24-100 (ARMH through ARMH-5), 24-110 (FRA through FR-160), 24-115 (MR), 24-125 (RN), 24-130 (RT-1 through RT1A), 24-190 (TM-1 through TM-160), 24-225 (SH),.and 24-230 (U) to delete the term "mobile home" from the permitted use section, subject to the following findings in attached exhibit A.

Affected zones include A-5 through A-160, ARMH through ARMH-5, FRA through FR-160, HC, MR, RN, RT-1, RT-1A, SH, TMA through TM-160 zones. This is a County-wide amendment. RELATED ITEMS: None FOR: Board of Supervisors Meeting of February 11, 1997 SUMMARY: Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of this code change. ANALYSIS: This project proposes to either eliminate or change the provisions within Chapter 24 allowing mobile homes as dwelling units. Currently there are several zones that allow the placement of a mobile home as a primary dwelling unit on a parcel. Affected zones include A-5 through A-160, ARMH through ARMH-5, FRA through FRA 60, MR, RN, RT-1, RT-1 A, HC, SH, and TMA through TM-160 zones. Please see the Planning Commission agenda report dated November 25, 1996 for a full analysis of the project (attached). By approving this code amendment, the term "mobile home" would be deleted from the allowed use section of the following zones: A-5 through A-160, ARMH through ARMH-5, FRA through FR-160, MR, RN, RT-1, RT-1 A, HC, SH, and TMA through TM-160 zones. In addition, travel trailers will be deleted as a permitted dwelling from the RN zone. Attached to this report are the proposed text changes to Chapter 24. The changes to the ARMH zones will result in these zones becoming identical to the AR zones and the change will be a defacto rezone which will change the zoning name on several properties in the County and eliminate the need for the ARMH zones. To maintain existing minimum parcels sizes it is anticipated that existing ARMH-3 properties would be proposed for an AR-2.5 It is suggested that a clean-up ordinance be initiated to address this issue. PLANNING COMMISSION The Planning Commission held a public hearing for this project on December 12, 1996. Very little public testimony was received at that time. Several letters in support of the proposed change were received prior to the hearing. The Planning Commission ❑ Butte County Department of Development Services Agenda Report ❑ 1 0 voted unanimously to recommend approval of this code amendment. In addition, the Commission initiated another code amendment to propose minimum residential development standards that will be applicable to all new dwelling units. Staff will be bringing that proposal forward within the next 2-3 months. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: This project is exempt from CEQA review under section 15061 (3), the general rule exemption, which states: "CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have.a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA." PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS: This application requires that a public hearing be advertised and held. Advertisement of the public hearing was published in local newspapers for all areas of the County. As of the date of this report we have received no public comment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance amending Sections 24-90 (A-5 through A-160), 24-100 (ARMH through ARMH-5), 24-110 (FRA through FR-160), 24-115 (MR), 24-125 (RN), 24-130 (RT-1 through RT1A), 24-190 (TM-1 through TM-160), 24-225 (SH), and 24-230 (U) to delete the term "mobile home" from the permitted use section, subject to the following findings in attached exhibit A. Secondly, it is recommended that the Board of Supervisors initiate a rezone for unincorporated lands within the County as follows: Existing zone Rezoned to ARMH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .AR ARMHA . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hazardous materials are regularly shipped via the rail line and, while unlikely, an incident involving a rail accident within the City could have devastating effects. Unfortunately, the City has little control over the types of materials that are shipped via the rail line. With regard to government activities, the content of shipments may be confidential for reasons of security. While the City has little influence over the types of material transported via the rail line, the potential for rail incidents can be reduced by ensuring that at-grade crossings within the Guidance for emergency preparedness within City are operating in a safe and effective Butte County as a whole and including the manner.
