RE: Aztec Development Use Permit
AP#30-23-139, 140
For a Correctional Facility
Dear Ms. Imbiorski:
At its meeting of November 4,1987, the Butte County Airport
Land Use Commission reviewed the Aztec Development Corporation
Use Permit Application to allow a.250 bed correctional facility
on AP#30-23-.139,140. The Commission adopted a motion of intent
to:
A. Find that the project as proposed may result in densities
in excess of 25 people per acre in an area that experiences
overflight by aircraft in a primary traffic pattern and.
may in its future stages of development violate the legally
required clear zone of Runway 12, and that the Use Permit
process does not adequately guarantee the specific location
of improvements; and
B. Recommend that the project be pursued as a Planned
Development, binding as to site design and facility lo-
cation, showing the location and type,of future
development anticipated and reflecting the concerns listed
in Item C, below; and
C. Forward the above finding to the City of Oroville for
inclusion within their environmental.documents and recommend
if the project is approved, overruling Butte County Airport
Land Use Commission require that:
1. No permanent structures be allowed in.the areas
designated for clear zone by the Oroville Airport
Land Use Plan. P
r
2. No -concentrations of people be permitted in the
clear -zone.
3. Noise impacts should.be addressed in the environmental
documents and -a survey of the site be performed to
determine what building construction standards should
be required.

Submitted for your review is a plat depicting approximately 20 acres of
land northerly of the Oroville Municipal Airport described as Assessors
Parcels 30-23-139 and 140.
Aztec.Developers is preposing the construction and operation of a 250
bed minimum security correctional facility on a portion of this property.
The facility would be under contract with the State Department of
Corrections.
Most of the estimated staff of 100 will be hired locally.
The property is located within the Oroville City. Limits, is zoned M-2
(Industrial) and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Industrial.
Placement of the facility will require a Use Permit in any zone. However,
Industrial zoning appears to be the most compatible.
Water and sanitary sewer will be by T.I.D and C.S.A. 26. Electric and
gas by P.G.&E. underground. Telephone by Pacific Bell underground.
Police and Fire protection by on-site staff and City of Oroville.
This property is possibly located within the 55 db LDN contour and the
Overflight Zone, but it is not in the downwind and baseleg or departure
paths of frequently used airport patterns.
I request that time be made available for a discussion of this project
on your September.2, 1987,'agenda at 9:00AM or as soon thereafter as
time allows.
Please send me a copy of the agenda when it is prepared so that I may
alert al interested parties. Thank you.
Sincerely
