IV. CONSENT AGENDA
None
V. BUSINESS
1. Discussion - Revision of Butte County Airport Land Use Commission Bylaws:
Chairperson Rossas noted Article III, Section 4, 2nd `paragraph should read "It shall be
the duty of the Vice Chairperson to assist the Chairperson On the next page article V,
Section 2, the word reconvenes is spelled incorrectly and should be ""reconvene". Section
3, second line, should be "to the press" and the next line should be "Chairperson" instead
of " Chairperson". The last line should be "meeting" not meetings.
Commissioner Lambert noted in Article III, Section '1 noted officers shall consist of a
Chairperson, fust Vice Chairperson, and a second: -Vice - Chairperson. Section 2 doesn't
deal with the second Vice Chairperson.

BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT ,
LAND USE COMIVIISSION. MINUTES
- December 9, 1992 -
Commissioner Koch suggested deleting the second Vice ,Chairperson and- adding a
statement that says "In absence of the Chair and the first Vice Chair, the . Chair Pro tem
will be appointed from the members in attendances _ at that meeting only". On Section
1 , delete "and second Vice Chairperson", and -the word "first Vice Chairperson", " officers'
will consist of a Chairperson. and a Vice, Chairperson!' , Include " in the absence of the
Chairperson and the Vice Chairperson, a Chair Pio Tem will be appointed or elected
from those in attendance.
Staff suggested it come after the duties in Section. 4..
Commissioner Koch suggested a redraft on January 13, 1993. He asked why the By -
Laws referred to a Treasurer?
Staff has been handling what little money ALUC ' has.
Commissioner Koch. suggested on Article VI, Amendments - to try to get -proposed
amendments to the Commission in advance, too structured.
Staff noted changes or amendments to the. By -Laws would have to be on an agenda.
Staff said under the Brown Act it would have .to have to be on the- agenda in order to
repeal or amend them. Possibly Just adding the phrase " By a vote ,of a majority of the
members of said Commission after written notification". '
Commissioner. Koch . had a question on the word "said",.does this mean the entire
commission or the quorum?
Chairperson Rossas suggested the word "said" be eliminated.
Commissioner Koch questioned as to whether the By -Laws should be held, to a higher
standard? Should it be the majority of the entire group instead of. 3 or 4 who happened
to be at the 'meeting.
Chairperson Rossas said it would appear to. be left as a majority of the members of the
Commission. He said that would -.be 4 members..
Commissioner Lambert agreed.
Chairperson Rossas rioted the State laws that supersede these, and in cases of vacancies
business can be transacted with three. This should come under the same State law.

Staff mentioned the majority of members could be three, and needed a way to
differentiate people appointed and* sitting holding a position versus the number of slots
available, which would always have to have four. Staff said if a couple of seats were
vacant, then it would be a situation that it read three might be appropriate.
Commissioner Koch suggested just putting " by a vote of at least four members of the
Commission".
Commissioner Stevens said on Article 7,. second paragraph, County of Butte should be
capitalized.
Commissioner Koch noted the last two paragraphs on Article 7, does not belong there,
and should be put at the end of the document, they are not rules.
Commissioner Lambert asked if alternates could be elected to serve as Chairperson and
Vice Chairperson?
Commissioner Koch suggested alternates having a right to sit and vote, in place of the
absent member.
Chairperson Rossas said an alternate has to be on the Commission for a year.
Staff noted several different situations where the alternate sat on a permanent basis,
and alternates who only showed up occasionally.
Staff suggested we leave the alternate an out and may step down from the duties of the
officer if they so wish.
Commissioner Koch said there was confusion as to who does what. Even if we are only
advisory it still makes sense for everyone to know their responsibilities.
Chairperson Rossas said the chair and the Pro. tem have to be elected.
Staff noted the Officer status goes with the individual not with the seat.
Staff said if they have a permanent alternate, then they can be elected if they wish.
Commissioner Lambert asked if the alternates could be elected to serve as chairperson,
vice person?
Commissioner Koch said duly appointed officers may vote on behalf of the members who
are absent, or who they represent. He said alternates should be under a separate Section.

U
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- December 9, 1992 -
Commissioner Gerst asked if the alternate could only serve for one member?
Staff noted under the Public Utilities Code, each member shall appoint one proxy to
represent him in Commission affairs and shall vote all matters when the member is not
in attendance. The Proxy shall be designated and sign a written statement which will be
kept on file. The vacancy proxy shall be filled promptly by the appointment of a new
Proxy, so it goes with each individual Commissioner.
Commissioner Gerst wanted to know what would keep a member from appointing an
alternate and another member from appointing the same alternate.
Chairperson Rossas said it would be terrible if the alternate was the chairperson's
alternate, then there would be no continuity whatsoever. Actually that person should be
provincial and representing the Agency that made the appointment.
Commissioner Koch noted there could be two opposing points of view.
Staff noted the legislation talks about each Commissioner appointing an individual as his
proxy. That would water down your pool of alternates. If several members - were absent
and the one alternate were sitting in one of those spots, you would need another
alternate to get a quorum.
Staff said he would prepare a draft of the Bylaws for the next Agenda and the
Commission could either adopt them or fine tune them for the next month.
2 Discussions - Public notification of referrals from other agencies and procedure for
approval of minutes.
Staff noted that the ALUC acts in an advisory capacity for other agencies. When we
have a project being reviewed in the safety area of the airport, does ALUC want to
notify the applicant, or does ALUC want to publish and make a public hearing out of
it. There is no direction in State Law as to requirements for public meetings. It might
be nice to have the proponent here to speak -and answer questions. On the other hand
at other advisory groups like this, the proponent is not generally present, such as the
Water Quality Control Board. The other matter is the procedure of the correction of
the minutes. A
Chairperson Rossas asked what the distance is that the Planning Department uses for
notification?

LAND USE CONMESSION MINUTES
- December 9, 1992 -
Staff said Planning Commission notices property within 300 feet of the project or 10
owners as required by State law.
Chairperson Rossas said there could be a variety of things happening when there are just
a few people within 300 feet. Or if there were hundreds of people.
Staff said if there were this many, we would have to start collecting fees.
Commissioner Koch said the applicant should be notified. Everyone else does not need
to be notified.
Commissioner Lambert agreed the applicant should be notified. She said if there was
opposition, the applicant would be aware and could show up.
Commissioner Koch noted that their opposition would be more appropriately directed to
the body that they were sending their advisory to. The door would not be shut on their
opportunity. It would be looked at in a very narrow focus whether it would fit in an
Environs Plan and they would not make the final decision.
Chairperson Rossas asked if the statement would be that the proponent would be
advised.
Commissioner Koch said his recommendation would be for ALUC to give it's comments
based on what they have.
Commissioner Lambert asked how the other gentlemen in opposition to previous projects
became aware of the hearings?
Commissioner Koch noted that the gentlemen came to the meetings because he saw the
agendas published by the news media.
Chairperson Rossas stated no problems in notifying the proponents, just the opponents.
The Bylaws state they are advising.
Commissioner Koch said if they aren't the body taking the final action, there is no need
for notices, and the press will publish the agendas.
Commissioner Stevens asked if we notify the applicant?
Staff noted that they do, one just slipped thru as in Mr. Simms case.
R
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- December 9, 1992 -
Chairperson Rossas said they could just notify the referring agency, and leave it to them
as to the responsibility of notifying the proponent.
Staff suggested we notify the referring agency when the meeting is going to be, and
sending a copy to the project proponent, notifying the agency and sending a copy to the
proponent.
Chairperson Rossas said it was the consensus of the Commission to notify the referring
agency with a copy to be sent to the project proponent.
2. Discussion - Procedure for approval of minutes
Commissioner Koch and Lambert felt most comfortable going over the minutes in the
meeting.
Chairperson Rossas stated there was consensus the minutes be corrected at the next
meeting.
3. Status Report - Oroville Municipal Airport Environs Plan text revision.
Staff said there was nothing new to report.
Chairperson Rossas said they are still debating the 25 persons/acre versus the number
of square feet of coverage for particular uses. The Planning Department seems to say
that it's much easier to administer the Code as does the Enforcement Department. is
very difficult to police standard 25 people per acre. This is the standard way of doing
it.
Staff said he had prepared a spread sheet using some of the occupancy load factors form
the Uniform Building Code, and translated it into the 25 people per acre format.
Chairperson Rossas said this should be done at Staff .level, the hearings have just been
finished and it will be coming before the Planning Commission. In the area of the
Oroville Airport they have come out with a new zone. It has wording exactly how they
want it handled. They realize there are to be 25 people per acre. How it will - be
worded and policed is the problem. The Oroville Airport has just received a $3.8 million
grant this year from the FAA on the runway project. He said the airport will receive
an additional amount to finish the runway. They will also plane off the area for the new
T hanger, between runways on the road side and will begin to move all the facilities over
to the new area. It can't be done with Federal funds, but the ground preparation can

be. Now the bad part is, the wetlands are involved. They still have to do some more
on the Meadowfoam. Even tho they are sure there are none there, they still have to go
and look around. The Wetlands problem is not in the runway per se, but in other
related areas. So they had a meeting' with the Army Corp of Engineering and the
appropriate environmental groups, and all the other people involved. In this project the
Army Corp of Engineers is the lead agency, and they have come up with ideas of
creating wetlands in lieu of wetlands. Presumably this will get worked out around June
or July of this year. We are in hopes. we can come out with a contract to move dirt this
summer at least. The group that met consisted of 6 agencies. They are in the stage
where they have completed their original statements, and all their basic thoughts.
4. Status Report - Chico Municipal Airport Environs and Noise Compatibility Program
Commissioner Koch noted the final report would be finished in January 1993, and
believes this is still the case. The first report is completed and is ready to be mailed.
This is an interim document, and would like to know the ALUC process to develop the
final Environs plan. Does this body have to approve or accept it.
Staff stated at the present time ALUC was using the Airport Environs Plan that was
done by the City in a similar manner as this, as the Airport Land Use Plan. They will
continue using that until they can adopt something else or modify it accordingly. Timing
might be a factor, but if ALUC finds in the preliminary plans there are significant health
and safety concerns, they may want to adopt all or parts of that new plan on an interim
basis. All indications are that the impacts are less than those expected in the original
plan. After the final plan is adopted by the City, the ALUC would hold a Public
Hearing to adopt the City plan as an Airport Land Use plan.
Commissioner Koch asked if in terms of the interim plan, would a copy be sent over
for information. Assuming a duplicate copy would not be sent out to everybody.
Staff confirmed a copy would be not be sent over at this point.
Commissioner Koch noted a copy would be looked at again at the final stage.
5. Business from the floor -
Vincent F. Phelan of 3010 North Avenue, Chico, had a question for consideration by
ALUC for avigation considerations related to the 3,000 acres west of the Chico Municipal
Airport, between Sycamore and Rock Creeks, and on West 99, and east to Hicks Lane.
Staff noted this lies within the CSA 87. He said the County is working on a specific
plan for that area. Staff has talked to the consultant who is working with the Planning
Department. The project is still progressing, but is not into the Public Hearing status

staff will look at it from the standpoint .of the, _airport... ,
Chairperson Rossas asked if Mr. Papadakis had anything to say.
Mr. Papadakis said he did not.
Commissioner Lambert asked if that area was in the Chico Airport plan.
Commissioner Koch said the contour might touch" on the edge..
Commissioner Lambert asked if Chico had avigation easements.
Commissioner Koch noted they were mainly on .the south end of the runway area, and
some on the southwest portion. A few small ones on the north or top end.
Staff noted pursuant to the Public Utilities Code and the Government Code , the
General Plan and therefore the Specific Plan have to be consistent with the Airport
Land Use Plan. The consultant is aware of this and is touching bases with everybody.
Commissioner Koch said Steve Honeycutt touched bases with him regarding air quality.
Staff noted his rough sketches showed there shouldn't be a problem.

IV. BUSINESS
1. Consideration of Revocation or Modification of Airport Permit: Cliff Johnsen,
Hog Ranch Airport south of Chico, identified as AP# 040-020-135 (now AP 040-
020-153 154, 155 and 156). Continued open from October 14, 1992.
Commissioner Gerst said he has a possible conflict of interest with this item and stepped
down from the Commission.
Staff received additional information regarding the airport from the State. Staff said this
includes a copy of the airport permit from the Division of Aeronautics, letter from the
Division of Aeronautics to Cliff Johnsen regarding the use of the airport, and an
unsigned lease agreement for the airport allowing the use of the airport by other people.
He said Jim Michaels and Kristin Engle, Division of Aeronautics are present for any
questions that the Commission or public might have.
The hearing was opened to the public.
David Kennedy, Attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Coats, said he spoke with Neil
McCabe, County Counsel, in regards to a County agency that zones an area and then
having that zone respected by the Division of Aeronautics. He said there is uncertainty
whether or not the State has the right to control the zoning or the impact of the zoning
of a particular airstrip operation. He asked whether or not Mr. Johnsen's facility comes
within the 1989 definition of a private use facility or whether or not he was
grandfathered in? He said he understood Mr. Johnsen initially brought the issue of a
private owned public use airport before ALUC in 1984, subsequently he processed an
application for a private use airport through CalTrans, Division of Aeronautics. He
said at the time the property was zoned A-2 (General); which allowed a personal use
airport without a Use Permit. He said no permit was needed from the County of Butte
for the operation of this airstrip., In late 1985, a permit was issued by the Dept. of
Transportation for a private use airport. He said he does not know what the definition
of a private use airport was in 1985. In 1987 the property was rezoned from A-2 to A-
20. The A-20 zoning did not allow for the use of a private use airport. He said a
permitted use under a ' prior scheme of zoning becomes a non -conforming use. On

BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
November 18, 1992 -
March 14, 1989, postdating the personal use airport definition, Mr. Johnsen sold property
to Dr. Brown. He said Dr. Brown uses the airport for commuting purposes. He said
there has been an increase in the non -conforming use. He said the concern of ALUC
is code enforcement and the appropriate zoning regulations in that area. He said there
is no permit necessary for a conforming use or a continuing use of a non -conforming use.
He said Mr. Johnsen's personal use of his airstrip is a non -conforming use, as long as
Mr. Johnsen is using it in conformity with the law. He said Mr. Johnsen's use is non-
conforming with the land use regulations and is beyond the jurisdiction of ALUC. He
said ALUC needs to look at the purpose and nature of the non -conforming use law.
He said the original permit was granted for a grass runway, and now exists a 2,000 ft.
paved runway with more than one person having access. He said Butte County has
zoning ordinances that provide no .non -conforming use land may be expanded in any way,
either on the same or on adjoining parcel. He asked if one can subdivide a parcel of
land with a non -conforming use and thereby create multiple non -conforming uses? He
said he doesn't think it is appropriate. He asked if Mr. Brown would be able to take
off and land on his own property or does he have to use adjacent property or adjoining
property? He said if he does, then it is not within the definition of a personal use
airport. He asked if the runway is on Dr. Brown's property? He said part of the
runway might touch his property. He said if Dr. Brown is found to have a valid runway
or personal use airport on his property, then what does it say about Mr. Johnsen's
airstrip?
Staff said the property line between the two parcels runs due north south. He said with
the descriptions that staff has, the runway does cross both parcels. He said the 50 ft.
setback from the centerline of the runway for clear zone space may touch the third
parcel. He said the airport was approved prior to this parcel map being approved.
William Coats asked staff to point out the taxiway to Dr. Brown's house from the
airstrip.
Staff said the aerial photos show a taxiway coming across some point just south of the
mid point of the runway. He said he has no indications there have ever been a formal
easement granted across a portion of Mr. Johnsen's property. He said there is a 60 ft.
ingress/egress easement to be reserved in deeds and offered to dedication to the County
of Butte elsewhere on the property.
Mr. Coats said the property between Dr. Brown's parcel and Mr. Johnsen's property
belongs to Mr. Scott. He asked if the taxiway touches Mr. Scott's property?
Staff said yes.

Cliff Johnsen said Connie Andrusaitis is the daughter of the Coat's and is not like she
is unrelated or disinterested party that also happens to object to the airport. He said
Mr. Kennedy pointed out numerous things that pertain to things that happened after 1988
when the zone changed. He said this use did not become non -conforming until 1988.
He said there was no expansion after that zone change. He said the parcel that the
runway is on, prior to the division in 1987, has never had a single owner except back in
1950 when Frank Brazell owned the property. He said when he applied for the permit,
the property was mutually owned by three people. He said when the property was
divided, the other two people who had a right to the runway under the original permit,
assigned that right to transfer to.parcel 3 if it was ever sold to a third, party. He said
in 1987, that property was bought the Browns. He said prior to any zone change there
was two classifications that the County had for an airport- private or commercial. He
said there was no definition for private. He said his airport did not fall under the
commercial definitions, therefore the airport was private. He said his airport is hardly
used. He said only 4 different airplanes have ever landed there in the last 7 years. He
said his permit says he's entitled to an occasional guest. He said he could increase the
traffic 100 times and still be within regulations and the rules. He said the four airplanes
that have landed, one was an emergency landing, one was a relative, one was an
unauthorized one, which was reported to FAA. He said the airport is marked with a big
R, which means that the airport is restricted. He said there is a lot of traffic over the
runway that has - nothing to do with him. He said the proponents of this hearing want
the Commission to believe there is all kinds of traffic and ' is causing tremendous amount
of trouble. He said this is not so. He said 'the County sent their Code Enforcement
Officer out there and had a couple of hearings on the airport and was not notified. He
said 'the best code enforcement officer the County has is him. He said the runway is
precious to him and the last thing he wants is to lose it. He said he does this out of
courteousness. He said there is nothing under the flight path of the runway except for
almond trees. He said at the last ALUC meeting,. -Mr. Coats referred to the airport
and him as "gentlemen with their toys", he said his airplane is not a toy, it is mode of
transportation. He said he -bought that property specifically because it was zoned A-2 and
because private airports were permitted in that zone. He said the reason private airstrips
were a permitted use in A-2 zone is because there isn't anything you could do with an
airplane . that would affect the amount of nuts ttiat can be produced on his tree. The
airport is surrounded on both sides by trees. He said there is nothing that could devalue
Mr. Coats property and it's ability to produce nuts on those trees. He said Mr. Coats
said at the last meeting, the only reason he wants our airport permit provoked is so Mr.
Coats can subdivide his property someday, and he thinks the airport will devalue it. He
said he -spoke with James Deehan, a realtor that lives near the Ranchaero Airport, and
asked him if there is any difference in the value of the houses directly under the flight

- November 18, 1992
path of Ranchaero Airport. He read a letter that stated there is no significant variation
in the price of those houses directly in the flight path and from those several blocks
away. He said the only complaint out there has been from Mr. Coats. He said Gail
Brown went to all the neighbors in the area and asked for . their opinions. He submitted
letters from the neighbors to the Commission. Most had no objection, but did object to
dust from the orchards, noise from crow guns and diesel pumps used by Mr. Coats. He
read several letters from neighbors. He said over half of the residents on Estates Drive
was not aware the airport existed. He said the other half was aware, but said the traffic
from the runway has never been a bother.
Delbert Simpsen, Attorney representing Mr. Johnsen, said the agenda says consideration
of revocation or modification of airport permit. He asked who's permit is this in regards
to? He said the County does not have a permit to revoke.
Neil McCabe, Assistant County Counsel, said there is no actual County permit. ALUC
and the Board of Supervisors reviewed the matter of an airport and indicated at the time
that it would be acceptable. He said the State has the actual permit. He said there was
been some talk about a Use Permit for a non -conforming use, but there never has been
such a Use Permit. He said there may be a question whether or not there should be
such a Use Permit applied for and granted.
Mr. Simpsen said if there is something to do with a non -conforming use, it should go
before the Planning Commission and not ALUC. He said there really isn't anything here
for ALUC to do since there is no authority under the State law to deal with private
airports.
Commissioner Lambert read from the Staff Findings of June 10, 1985 when it came
before ALUC. From there it went to the Board of Supervisors and the Board approved
an airport permit. She said she doesn't know what kind of permit it was, but it was in
referenced to a permit.
Staff said the A-2 zone permitted airports. The Division of Aeronautics required local
review before they would issue a permit. He said ALUC initiated the local review then
forwarded their recommendation to the Board of Supervisors who found the airport in
conformity with the A-2 zoning and the General Plan. He said that anytime that the
Board wishes, they could make findings that the use does not conform to the General
Plan any longer and at that point it would trigger revocation procedures through the
Division of Aeronautics.
Mr. Simpsen said the regulations indicate that CalTrans wants some action from ALUC
under the statutes, ALUC has no jurisdiction over private airports. He said there was
nothing for ALUC to do in regards to this airport back in 1985. He said ALUC's only
review dealt with public airports, therefore that particular requirement that CalTrans had,
5
•
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- November 18, 1992 -
•
only applied for any action that was required that ALUC had authority over, which was
public airports, not for private airports.
Mr. McCabe said the County's position is that ALUC could review the matter and make
a recommendation to the State to look into it. He said ALUC could do that within the
purview of a fact finding proceeding.
Mr. Johnsen said the reason it came before ALUC and the Board is because the State
assumed most counties required a Use Permit for private runways. The States permit
process required local approval first. He went to the State and told them the airport
was already a permitted use. The State said they needed a statement signed by the
Board of Supervisors or ALUC stating the airport is a permitted use. He said since
the airport began, there has never been any expansion to the use or traffic. He said the
only thing that has changed is the definitions and rules of various governments. He said
under the new State definitions, his existing conforming use now falls under the State's
new definition of a special use airport, which under the new rules is anything more than
one individual user. The State was in a position to reissue a license for a special use
airport. When this letter went to the County, they saw that the airport was being
considered a special use airport, the County said the special use will give them unlimited
expansion rights. He asked the State to put a restriction on the license that made it
conform to what the letter stated. Bill Riesen agreed. Now the limited number of users
of the runway is 6 and is willing to accept the permit with that restriction.
Commissioner Koch and staff discussed the different zonings of the property.
Commissioner Koch asked has if the use has expanded since 1988? He said if the rights
were transferred with the property, there isn't a problem. He said that he agreed with
Mr. Simpsen, the duties of ALUC relate to public airports only.
Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Johnsen has finally admitted to 6 different airport users. He said
He submitted a deed from Mr. Johnsen to Michael Brown that shows they purchased the
property in March 14, 1989. He said in March 1989 they purchased and signed an
agricultural statement in May 1989, and started construction of their home in 1989 and
1990. He said prior to this time, the Browns did not own property. He said the zoning
was A-20 and for the Browns to have an airstrip would be a non-conformance use and
it should be abated. He said Mr. and Mrs. Coats have no objections to Mr. Johnsen
using the property for his personal use. The Coats object to a Cameron Park type
situation. He said at the last meeting, Mr. Johnsen said the ad that ran in the
newspaper was in error and submitted a letter from the publisher stating so. He now
admits that all 6 properties have deeded access to the runway. He said the
recommendation of ALUC to appropriate agencies that the airport can be considered a
non -conforming use, that any expansion would be in violation of the Non -Conforming Use
Law and it should be abated. He said Mr. Johnsen stated that he would be the best
enforcement officer out there, when his intention is to sell his property. He said the
statement that Mr. Johnsen made about their son-in-law wanting to land at the airport
C
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT

E
was incorrect, the Coat's son-in-law is not a pilot and does not own an airplane. He said
the Coats are interested in keeping the Cameron Park type out of this area and keeping
the airport from expanding any further.
Cliff Johnsen said his house was for sale for a short period of time. He withdrew the
ad because he is no longer in danger of losing his house. He said all the houses out
there do not have access to the runway. He said Mr. Brown actually owns property
underneath the runway. He said transferring a right to something doesn't make it a non-
conforming use. He said he has no intention of expanding the airport.
Commissioner Stevens asked if the letter from the Department of Transportation dated
August 19, 1987 is superseded by another letter?.
Mr. Michaels answered no.
The hearing was closed.
Staff said if ALUC finds they have an airport that is now . defined as a special use
airport, it would require airport land use plans. He said the changes in 1989 could affect
the status of the airport and what ALUC has to do with the airport. He said we need
to define the scope of this airport.
Commissioner Franklin said the users are defined by the letter from the Department of
Transportation. He said it is out of ALUC's jurisdiction. He said if the airport exceeds
the six allowed, then it would be a code violation. He said the issue today, is who has
the authority.
Commissioner Koch agreed that it was a land use issue and it should go through the
Planning Department Code. Enforcement Process. He said he believes the Commission
should take no action and let the Planning office take care of _the land use issue.
On a motion made by Commissioner Franklin, seconded by Commissioner Koch, and
unanimously carried that no further action was necessary.

Staff said the minutes do not have to be approved at the next meeting if there is a
problem. The minutes can always be tabled to the next meeting.
This item was deferred to the December 9, 1992 ALUC meeting.
4. Status Report - Oroville Municipal . Airport Environs Plan text revision.
Chairman Rossas stated the hearings on the Oroville General Plan started November 17,
1992. The property at the end of the runway has all been purchased and is being
prepared to go to bid as far as funding.
Staff reviewed the General Plan text revision
and is available at
the Planning Division
for review. He
said most of the overflight area over the north
end of the runway is
being set up for
a business park designation.
He ' said the number of people allowed
in the overflight
area was discussed with Laura
Jones. He said the
need for this will be
included in the
zoning ordinance. He said
the General Plan
designations and the
policies that are
contained within the draft look good in terms
of the protecting the
overflight areas.

V. CORRESPONDENCE
Staff submitted a letter from the Department of Transportation concerning availability
of funding for various privately owned public use airport facilities. He said one thing
ALUC will be able to do under certain conditions, is purchase clear zone areas. Staff
said he will review and look at the long range affect on ALUC and the individual
airports.
Commissioner Koch said this needs to be on the next agenda for discussion.

VI. REFERRALS TO STAFF AND FORMATION OF COMMITTEES
Staff said on the January 8, 1992 ALUC meeting, two, different committees were formed.
Both included Commissioner Walter, which is no longer with the Commission.
Chairman Rossas said the airport land use noise compatibility was in regards to the
Oroville Airport and the committee consisted of those Commissioners from Oroville.
Staff said it may be appropriate to reform the committee after the City of Oroville has
their General Plan adopted.
Chairman Rossas said the Committee for the Changes in the Bylaws has become a
committee of all members.
Staff said ALUC is proposed to be a partof the reorganization of the Butte County
Association of Governments and they will be redoing the Bylaws when they are
combined.
Chairman Rossas said the Bylaws are suitable at the present time.

IV. BUSINESS
1. Consideration of Revocation or Modification of Airport Permit: Cliff Johnsen,
Hog Ranch Airport south of Chico, identified as AP# 040-020-135 (now AP 040-
020-153, 154, 155 and 156).
Staff said in 1985, Cliff Johnsen's Airport was approved as a private use airport. He said
there is evidence that indicates the airport may have grown beyond a private use, airport
and now may be a special use airport. He said County Counsel is present to break
down the possibilities the Commission has to look at.
Neil McCabe, County Counsel said it was mentioned on the agenda of the possibility of
revocation. However, he said no local permits exist for this airport. He said there was
local review, but the permit was granted by the State. He said there could be a question
that would arise whether or not the State permit should be recommended for revocation,
or whether or not the ' use at this time is a zoning violation, if it has expanded beyond
what it was legally established to be previously. He said it might be necessary for Mr.
Johnsen to get'a Use Permit to expand a non -conforming use through the Planning
Department. He said he might also need to seek an amended permit from the State.
Either way it will come before ALUC for reyew.
Staff said a Commissioner of ALUC has concerns and evidence that perhaps this airport
is not being used as a private use airport. Staff said ALUC would be a recommending
body to either the Board of Supervisors, Code Enforcement Officers, or the State.
Commissioner Koch said the Staff Report states the Board of Supervisors granted an
Airport Permit after ALUC's review and then the- California Department of
Transportation issued a permit for a private use airport.
Mr. McCabe said in staffs memo dated October 8, 1992, there was mention of a permit
and the Board of Supervisor's minutes referenced a permit. He read the Board of
Supervisor's motion, which stated "Review the plans for this airport and that under the
Butte County General Plan, this is an approved use".. He said it was reviewed for
conformity with the General Plan.
Staff said the original application for the airport was on a single parcel. Since then there
has been a land division that created four parcels and the airport is located on two of
those parcels. Staff indicated that coversion to a special use airport at this time may not
be able to meet the dimensional requirements bf the Division of Aeronautics without
requiring additional properties.
The hearing was opened to the public.

William Coats, adjoining property owner to the airport, read the definitions of a special
use airport and private use airport from the Division of Aeronautics. It states: Private
use airport is defined an airport limited to the non commercial use of an individual
owner or family and an occasional invited guest. A special use airport is defined as an
airport not opened to the general public, has access to which is controlled by the owner
in support of commercial activity, public service operations and/or personal use. He said
the end of the runway is approximately 40 feet from his property line and should be at
least 200 feet away. He said the Airport Land Use Commission minutes of June 10,
1985 stated that an airport permit to allow a privately owned, private use airport was
granted to Cliff Johnsen subject to several conditions. He said ALUC warned Mr.
Johnsen about problems with not getting avigation easements. He said he was not
notified there was an airport going in. He said he believes there are other property
owners with landing rights that do not use the airport. He said he regularly sees Mr.
Johnsen and Dr. Brown's airplanes leaving. He asked with future growth, will the new
property owners have access to the airport? He said it is a mild nuisance at the present
level of activity and that his . property value has been badly damaged. He said his
concern is what happens in the future from a danger and an economic damage
standpoint. He said he sees no compelling necessity for an airport for two gentlemen
and their toys.
Cliff Johnsen, owner of Hog Ranch Airport, said the definitions that Dr. Coats read are
the new definitions of airports and they do not have any bearing on the definitions that
were in effect when he was issued his permit. He said staffs memo stated that he
contacted the State and asked for an upgrade on his permit. He stated this was
incorrect. He said the State contacted every airport owner in the State because of recent
revisions in California Airport Regulations redefining various categories of airports. He
said the State is trying to get shed of private airports. The State sent him a survey and
asked him to review the new categories to see where his airport fitted in. He said he
asked for the lowest classification for whatever airport they had under their new
definitions. He said he was not trying to change anything, he was cooperating with what
the State had asked for. He said in regards to the 200 ft. displaced threshold, this was
not a requirement when his permit was granted. He said the threshold is displaced
approximately 300 feet from Dr. Coats property and is placed 600 ft. on the north end.
In regards to future use, he said the State is the only licensing agency that has a permit
on his runway, and the State is the only licensing agency that can regulate future use.
He said it is clearly defined in the private permit from the State what the private use
is. He said the advertisement that ran in "Home Seekers" was misprinted. He submitted
a letter from the publisher of the magazine apologizing for the errors. He said it should
have stated that only his house has access to the 2,000 ft. runway. He said if further
clarification is needed, he would ask for a coptiruance so his legal representation could
be present.

BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- October 14, 1992 -
Commissioner Koch asked if the advertisement was published wrong, will the property
owners of the subdivision have access to the runway?
Mr. Johnsen said the advertisement makes it looks like he is going to be future
subdividing and giving out runway rights.
Commissioner Koch asked who has access to the runway now and if it will change in
the future?
Mr. Johnsen said him and Mr. Brown use the Airport. He said he has never changed
the perimeters of the permit and does not int6nd to change anything in the future. He
said he has no intentions of future subdividing.
Staff asked if the two houses that currently have access to the airport is the original
parcel the airport permit was issued for?
Mr. Johnsen stated yes.
Dr. Coats said he had a telephone conversation with Mr. Johnsen, approximately 18
months ago, and Mr. Johnsen stated that he had sold landing rights to five different
people, Brown, Wickham, and Scott. He said there was mention of two others names,
but he didn't record it at the time of the conversation.
The hearing was closed to the public.
Commissioner Koch said when regulations change, and the use changes, the new use
needs to comply with new regulations, no matter what regulations were in effect when
the permit was issued. He said he needed more information on the definitions that are
in effect, and what applies to this particular permit.
Commissioner Lambert said Dr. Coats came b6fore ALUC before with his concerns.
She asked if Code Enforcement Officers were still involved?
Staff said on August 21, 1990, the Board of Supervisor's originally heard from Dr. Coats
regarding this airstrip. He said the complaint was referred to the Planning Director.
On February 22, 1992, the Board of Supervisor's asked Code Enforcement Officers to
continue monitoring the airport. With recent discussion with Code Enforcement Officers,
no additional activity of the airport was. reported.
Commissioner Lambert said this is a fact finding situation. She said this has been
ongoing and there has been a continual question of the status of the airport. She said
this issue needs to be resolved.

BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- October 14, 1992 -
Commissioner Franklin said there is no evidence that would require the need to continue
the hearing. He said Dr. Coats stated there are only two airplanes using the airport and
both are owners of the airport property. He said, as he sees it, it does not violate the
definition of a private use airport.
Commissioner Lambert said it may be in violation- of land use. She said it needs to
be resolved in whoever's jurisdiction it belongs. She asked if five people have been
sold landing rights, will it still come- under the original approval of a permit for a private
use with one owner?
Commissioner Crotts said she doesn't know what definitions apply or what the Division
of Aeronautic's has classified the airport.
Commissioner Gerst agreed. He said the Airport Land Use Commission should request
that it be researched, so a determination can be made as to the status of the airport.
It was a consensus of the Commission to continue this item to the November 18, 1992
meeting, with additional information coming from staff, and so legal representation for
Mr. Johnsen can be present.
Chairman Rossas said all parties involved should be notified.
Staff will ask Jim Michaels, Division of Aeronautics; CalTrans, to attend next month's
meeting.

2. Review -
Staff said this item was discussed at the July 8, 1992 ALUC meeting. (There was no
quorum present to take action). He said it is now an official application and ALUC
must make a finding of conformity.
The hearing was opened to the public.
Barbara Hennigan, Chico, said in 1948, the Board of Supervisors was asked to protect
the property around Chico Airport. She said - at the time, the reaction was that Chico
Airport was way out in the country with grazing land. She said Cliff Johnsen's Airport
is a good example that nothing stays the same. She stated the City of Chico requires
5
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT

avigation easements and proponents of airport activities think it's time for the County to
do something to protect the airport. She asked the .Commission what would be the best
procedure for airport proponents to tackle this issue on the County, level? She said the
Division of Aeronautics has stated there should be no schools within two miles of an
airport. She said this states a legal basis for drawing a protection line around an airport.
She said a two mile circle around Chico airport takes up about 17 square miles or 1
percent of the land in Butte County. And that if avigation easements were required by
the County as well as the City of Chico in that 1 percent of the land, the people who
like airplanes would be delighted to buy and move into that 1 percent, and the people
who do not particularly like airplanes can buy in the other 99 percent of the County.
She said this particular proposal is an encroachment of people into that two mile circle.
She said those home owners and the airport need to be properly informed.
Chairman Rossas said part of Ms. Hennigan's statement should of came under Business
From The Floor.
The hearing was closed to the public.
Staff said the County does have an Airport Land Use Plan around Chico Airport that
extends out a couple of miles. He said this project would allow uses that would place
people near the airport, but the property owner has the right to apply for change.
Commissioner Koch referred back to ALUC minutes of July 8, 1992. He said on behalf
of the City of Chico, Chico's City Council has considered this matter and the council was
not in favor of the proposal at that time. He said there has been no action.
Commissioner Lambert said it does not conform to the current policies of Chico
Municipal Airport Environs Plan and does not know what the new proposed plan will
be.
Commissioner Koch said it is likely the noise contours will be pulled back and this area
will be located outside those contours, but the overflights and the flight patterns will still
exist. He said this is more of a safety issue than a no issue.
Chairman Rossas said at the July 8th meetingi the. Commission was not in favor of the
proposal. He said with the Japanese Flight Scligol flying overhead several times a day,
safety becomes a major factor.
Commissioner Lambert said one of the statements that was made at the July meeting,
was that any findings would be subject to what was in effect at the time of the
application. She said it does not conform to the existing Chico Airport Plan.

Commissioner Koch asked if Tony Simms from Drake Homes was notified of this
hearing? He said Mr. Simms was present at the July 8th ALUC meeting and asked
ALUC to take action. Now the application comes before ALUC, he is not present to
speak to the Commission. He said all applicants should be notified.
Staff said this is a referral from Chico Planning Department to ALUC for
recommendations. He said this is not a public hearing and there are times that the
applicant is notified, but in this case, Mr. Simms was not notified.
On a motion made by Commissioner Lambert, seconded by Commissioner Franklin, and
unanimously carried to find that the proposed rezone site is in an area that is known
to be subject to overflights of both arriving and departing aircraft and related noise and
safety hazards and find that the project to rezone AP# 048-430-006 and 008 to PD/RD2
does not conform to the Policies of the Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan and
forwards this finding to the City of Chico.
3. Status Report - Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan and Airport Noise
Compatibility Progam.
Commissioner Koch said the initial noise compatibility map will be completed in
approximately one month. The report is still be reviewing by staff and the consultant
is currently responding to comments. He said the development stage of the program
is 60 to 70 percent complete and should be completed in approximately two to three
months. He said at that time a public hearing will be held.
4. BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR
Barbara Hennigan asked the Commission how airport proponents in a community might
bring pressure to create more legal protection for airports? She said all airports are
having the same problem with encroachment and the problem will only get worse.
Staff said the State Law sets up this Commission as a requirement. One of the
requirements this Commission has to work within, is to prepare an Airport Land Use
Plan for each airport within the County. Under the Government Code, the first step
is the County and City General Plan's must be compatible with the Airport Land Use
Plan. The second step is implementing those General Plans and the Cities and Counties
usually control that through zoning. He said in most cases, the zoning around our
airports, either ieflects the plan or existing development. He said we need the support
mainly at the implementation level of when the application is received.

Ms. Hennigan said we need better communication with support groups who will attend
various Board of Supervisor's, Commission and City Council meetings. -
Chairman Rossas said the County needs a support group which will handle the airports.
He said support groups influence those Board's decision.
Commissioner Franklin said there needs to be a committee to pass out a bond act, to
acquire land around the airport to use it as low density purposes. He said he believes
in the future, Chico Airport will lose power of their airport and Oroville will gain power,
because Oroville's land is protected.
Staff said the City of Chico has purchased the land within their clear zones and approach
zones.
Chairman Rossas said Oroville Airport has moved their thresholds south from the
Highway and are in the process of purchasing all the property to the State Forebay.
V. CORRESPONDENCE
Staff handed out an example of a court case stating the . requirements for an override
of ALUC.
**************
Commissioner Gerst said there is a committee that is looking over fees of different
activities and services of the County. He said there are no fees for the Airport Land
Use Commission. He asked why there are no fees . for hearings like Drake Homes?
Staff said since ALUC strictly makes a finding based on the County's existing plan, years
ago ALUC decided there was no reason to set up a fee structure. Staff said if the
Commission wishes to hold public hearings, 4 foe structure could be set up.
Chairman Rossas said it is proposed that in the near future ALUC will become a part
of the Butte County Association of Governments. And at that time, a fee structure will
probably be set up.

IV. BUSINESS
1. Consideration of Revocation or Modification of Aitport Permit: Cliff Johnson,
Hog Ranch Airport south of Chico identified as AP# 040-020-135 (now AP 040-
020-153, 154. 155 and 156).
Staff said in 1985, Cliff Johnson's Airport was, approved as a private use airport. He said
there is evidence that indicates the airport may have grown beyond a private use airport
and now may be a special use airport. He said County Counsel is present to break
down the possibilities the Commission has to look at..
Neil McCabe, County Counsel said it was mentioned on the agenda of the possibility of
revocation. However, he said no local permits exist for this airport. He said there was
local review, but the permit was granted by the State. He said there could be a question
that would arise whether or not the State permit should be recommended for revocation,
or whether or not the use at this time is a zoning violation, if it has expanded beyond
what it was legally established to be previously. He said it might be necessary for 'Mr.
Johnson to get a Use Permit to expand a non -conforming use through the Planning
Department. He said he might also need to seek an amended permit from the State.
Either way it will come before. ALUC. for review.
Staff said a Commissioner of ALUC has concerns and evidence that perhaps this airport
is not being used as a private use airport. Staff said ALUC would be a recommending
body to either the Board of Supervisors, Code Enforcement Officers, or the State.
Commissioner Koch said the Staff Report states the Board of Supervisors granted an
Airport Permit after ALUC's review and then the California Department of
Transportation issued a permit for a private use airport.
Mr. McCabe said in staffs memo dated October 8, 1992, there was mention of a permit
and the Board of Supervisor's minutes referenced a permit. He read the Board of
Supervisor's motion, which stated "Review the plans for this airport and that under the
Butte County General Plan, this is an approved use He said it was reviewed for
conformity with the General Plan.
Staff said the original application for the airport was on a single parcel. Since then there
has been a land division that created four parcels and the airport is located on two of
those parcels.
The hearing was opened to the public.
William Coats, adjoining property owner to the airport, read the definitions of a special
use airport and private use airport from the Division of Aeronautics. It states: Private
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- October 14, 1992 -
use airport is defined an airport limited to the non commercial use of an individual
owner or family and an occasional invited guest. A special use airport is defined as an
airport not opened to the general public, has access to which is controlled by the owner
in support of commercial activity, public service operations and/or personal use. He said
the end of the runway is approximately 40 feet from his property line and should be at
least 200 feet away. He said the Airport Land Use Commission minutes of June 10,
1985 stated that an airport permit to allow a privately owned, private use airport was
granted to Cliff Johnson subject to several conditions. He said ALUC warned Mr.
Johnson about problems with not getting avigation easements. He said he was not
notified there was an airport going in. He said he believes there are other property
owners with landing rights that do not use the airport. He. said he regularly sees Mr.
Johnson and Dr. Brown's airplanes leaving. He asked with future growth, will the new
property owners have access to the airport? He said it is a mild nuisance at the present
level of activity and that his property value has been badly damaged. He said his
concern is what happens in the future from a danger and an economic damage
standpoint. He said he sees no compelling necessity for an airport for two gentlemen
and their toys.
Cliff Johnson, owner of Hog Ranch Airport, said the definitions that Mr. Coats read
are the new definitions of airports and they do not have any bearing on the definitions
that were in effect when he was issued his permit. He said staffs memo stated that he
contacted the State and asked for an upgrade on his permit. He stated this was
incorrect: He said the State contacted every airport owner in the State because of recent
revisions in California Airport Regulations redefining various categories of airports. He
said the State is trying to get shed of private airports. The State sent him a survey and
asked him to review the new categories to see where his airport fitted in. He said he
asked for the lowest classification for whatever airport they had under their new
definitions. He said he was not trying to change anything, he was cooperating with what
the State had asked for. He said in regards to the 200 ft. displaced threshold, this was
not a requirement when his permit was granted. He said the threshold is displaced
approximately 300 feet from Mr. Coats property and is placed 600 ft. on the north end.
In regards to future use, he said the State is the only licensing agency that has a permit
on his runway, and the State is the only licensing agency that can regulate future use.
He said it is clearly defined in the private permit from the State what the private use
is. He said the advertisement that ran in "Home Seekers" was misprinted. He submitted
a letter from the publisher of the magazine apologizing for the errors. He said it should
have stated that only his house has access to the 2,000 ft. runway. He said if further
clarification is needed, he would ask for a continuance so his legal representation could
be present.
Commissioner Koch asked if the advertisement was published wrong, will the property
owners of the subdivision have access to the runway?
3
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- October 14, 1992 -
Mr. Johnson said the advertisement makes it looks like he is going to be future
subdividing and giving out runway rights.
Commissioner Koch asked who has access to the runway now and if it will change in
the future?
Mr. Johnson said him and Mr. Brown use the airport. He said he has never changed
the perimeters of the permit and does not intend to change anything in the future. He
said he has no intentions of future subdividing.
Staff asked if the two houses -that currently have access to the airport is the original
parcel the airport permif . was issued for?
Mr. Johnson stated yes.
Mr. Coats said he had a telephone conversation with Mr. Johnson, approximately 18
months ago, and Mr. Johnson stated that he had sold landing rights to five different
people, Brown, Wickham, and Scott. He said there was mention of two others names,
but he didn't record it at the time of the conversation.
The hearing was closed to the public.
Commissioner Koch said when regulations change, and the use changes, the new use
needs to comply with new regulations, 'no matter what regulations were in effect when
the permit was issued. He said he needed more information on the definitions that are
in effect, and what applies to this particular permit.
Commissioner Lambert said Mr. Coats came before ALUC before with his concerns.
She asked if Code Enforcement Officers were still involved?
Staff said on August 21, 1990, the Board of Supervisor's originally heard from Mr. Coats
regarding this airstrip. He said ' the complaint was referred to the Planning Director.
On February 22, 1992, the Board of Supervisor's asked Code Enforcement Officers to
continue monitoring the airport. With recent discussion with Code Enforcement Officers,
no additional activity of the airport was reported.
Commissioner Lambert said this is a fact finding situation. She said this .has been
ongoing and there has been a continual question of the status of the airport. She said
this issue needs to be resolved.
Commissioner Franklin said there is no evidence that would require the need to continue
the hearing. He said Mr. Coats stated there are only two airplanes using the airport and
4
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- October 14, 1992 -
both are owners of the airport property. He said, as he sees it, it does not violate the
definition of a private use airport.
Commissioner Lambert said it may be in violation of land use. She said it needs to
be resolved in whoever's jurisdiction it belongs. She asked if five people have been
sold landing rights, will it still come under the original approval of a permit for a private
use with one owner?
Commissioner Crotts said she doesn't know what definitions apply or what the Division
of Aeronautic's has classified the airport.
Commissioner Gerst agreed. He said the Airport Land Use Commission should request
that it be researched, so a determination' can be made as to the status of, the airport.
It was a consensus of the Commission to continue this item to the November 18, 1992
meeting, with additional information coming from staff, and so legal representation for
Mr. Johnson can be present.
Chairman Rossas said all parties involved should be notified.
Staff will ask Jim Michaels, Division of Aeronautics; CalTrans, to attend next month's
meeting.
2. Review - City of Chico referral of a Rezone for Drake Homes from N -C
(Neighborhood - Commercial) to PD/R2 (Planned Development Medium Density
Residential) for property located south of and adjacent to the southerly boundary
of the Chico Municipal Airport Property and the . Airport Protection Zone,
identified as AP# 048-430-006 and 008.
Staff said this item was discussed at the July 8, 1992 ALUC meeting. (There was no
quorum present to take action). He said it is now. an official application and ALUC
must make a finding of conformity.
The hearing was opened to the public.
Barbara Hennigan, Chico, said in 1948, the Board of Supervisors was asked to protect
the property around Chico Airport. She said at the time, the reaction was that Chico
Airport was way out in the country with grazing land. 'She said Cliff Johnson's Airport
is a good example that nothing stays the same. She stated the City of Chico requires
avigation easements and proponents of airportactivities think it's time for the County to
do something to protect the airport. She asked the Commission what would be the best
M
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- October 14, 1992 -
procedure for airport proponents to tackle this issue on the County level? She said the
Division of Aeronautics has stated there should be no schools within two miles of an
airport. She said this states a legal basis for drawing a protection line around an airport.
She said a two mile circle around Chico airport takes up about 17 square miles or 1
percent of the land in Butte County. And that if avigation easements were required by
the County as well as the City of Chico in that 1 percent of the land, the people who
like airplanes would be delighted to buy and move into that 1 percent, and the people
who do not particularly like airplanes can buy in the other 99 percent of the County.
She said this particular proposal is an encroachment of people into that two mile circle.
She said those home owners and the airport need to be properly informed.
Chairman Rossas said part of Ms. Hennigan's statement should of came under Business
From The Floor.
The hearing was closed to the public.
Staff said the County does have an Airport Land Use Plan around Chico Airport that
extends out a couple of miles. He said this project would allow uses that would place
people near the airport, but the property owner has the right to apply for change.
Commissioner Koch referred back to ALUC minutes of July 8, 1992. He said on behalf
of the City of Chico, Chico's City Council has considered this matter and the council was
not in favor of the proposal at that time. He said there has been no action.
Commissioner Lambert said it does not conform to the current policies of Chico
Municipal Airport Environs Plan and does not know what the new proposed plan will
be.
Commissioner Koch said it is likely the noise contours will be pulled back and this area
will be located outside those contours, but the overflights and the flight patterns will still
exist. He said this is more of a safety issue than a noise issue.
Chairman Rossas said at the July 8th meeting, the Commission was.not in favor of the
proposal. He said with the Japanese Flight School flying overhead several times a day,
safety becomes a major factor.
Commissioner Lambert said one of the statements that was made at the July meeting,
was that any findings would be subject to what was in effect at the time of the
application. She said it does not. conform to the existing Chico Airport Plan.
Commissioner Koch asked if Tony Simms from Drake Homes was notified of this
hearing? He said Mr. Simms was present at the July 8th ALUC meeting and asked
6
BUTTE COUNTY AIRPORT
LAND USE COMMISSION MINUTES
- October 14, 1992 -
ALUC to take action. Now the application comes before ALUC, he is not present to
speak to the Commission. He said all applicants should be notified.
Staff said this is a referral from Chico Planning - Department to ALUC for
recommendations. He said this is not a public hearing and there are times that the -
applicant is notified, but in this case, Mr. Simms was not notified.
On a motion made by Commissioner Lambert, seconded by Commissioner Franklin, and
unanimously carried to find that the proposed rezone site is in an area that is known
to be subject to overflights of both arriving and departing aircraft and related noise and
safety hazards and find that the project to rezone AP# 048-430-006 and 008 to PD/RD2
does not conform to the Policies of the Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan and
forwards this finding to the City of Chico.
3. Status Report - Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan and Airport Noise
Compatibility Program.
Commissioner Koch said the initial noise compatibility map will be completed in
approximately one month. The report is still be reviewing by staff and the consultant
is currently responding to comments. He said the development stage of the program
is 60 to 70 percent complete and should be completed in approximately two to three
months. He said at that time a public hearing will be held.

4. BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR
Barbara Hennigan asked the Commission how airport proponents in a community might
bring pressure to create more legal protection for airports? She said all airports are
having the same problem with encroachment and the problem will only get worse.
Staff said the State Law sets up this Commission as a requirement. One of the
requirements this Commission has to work within, is to prepare an Airport Land Use
Plan for each airport within the County. Under the Government Code, the first step
is the County and City General Plan's must be compatible with the Airport Land Use
Plan. The second step is implementing those General Plans and the Cities and Counties
usually control that through zoning. He said in most cases, the zoning around our
airports, either reflects the plan or existing development. He said we need the support
mainly at the implementation level of when the application is received.

David Hironimus, Planning Department
City of Chico Referral of Rezone from N -C to PD/R2, AP 48-430-006 and 008
October 7, 1992
This.Proposed Rezone is for the Area Reviewed by three members of the Airport Land
Use Commission for Drake Homes, Foothill Park Unit 8, at their July 8, 1992 meeting (no
quorum present). Attached for reference is the package of information from that..meeting.
Since the previous meeting the City of Chico has accepted a Draft Airport Noise
Compatibility Program: Aircraft Noise Exposure Map Report. The Report has not yet
been adopted. Maps contained in the report indicates that the subject property is located
within a noise sensitive area between the 55 dB and 60 dB contours for both existing and
all future projections. Policies within the existing Land Use Plan for the subject area
indicate that residential uses should be prohibited. Policies in the existing plan for, areas
with similar noise characteristics as those discussed above indicate noise control measures
should be required in all new residential construction.
It should be noted that the existing land use policy was based not only on noise exposure,
but also on safety. The project site is located on the extended runway centerline and in a
direct line of sight from the airport. Accident statistics contained in the Airport Land Use
Planning Handbook prepared by the California Department of Transportation, Division of
Aeronautics indicates that 22% of accidents take place within 1 mile of the airport involved.
The site is approximately 1 mile from the end of the runway.
While the noise exposure maps indicate that there may be cause to revise the land use
policies in the area, there has been no change in the safety aspects of the site. Until the
land use policies are formally changed, the existing policies prohibiting residential uses are
still in effect and must be considered.
RECOMMENDATION:
Find that the proposed rezone site is in an area that is known to be subject to overflights
of both arriving and departing aircraft and related noise and safety hazards and find that
the project to rezone AP 48-430-006 and 008 to PD/R2 does not conform to the Policies
of the Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan and forward this finding to the City of Chico.
Inter -Departmental Memorandum
To: Airport Land Use Commission
From: David Hironimus, Planning Department
Subject: Cliff Johnson, Hog Ranch Airport Permit, AP 40-020-153, 154, 155 and 156
Date: October 8, 1992
This hearing is for the purpose of considering the revocation or modification of the permit
for Hog Ranch Airport, owned and operated by Cliff Johnson.
HISTORY:
In 1984, Cliff Johnson applied for a Use Permit for a Privately owned, public use airport
on property that was zoned A-2 at that time. When the state Division of Aeronautics
pointed out that the proposed airport could not meet the dimensional criteria for a public
airport Mr. Johnson withdrew his Use Permit application and began processing an
application with the state for a private use airport. At that time the A-2 zone allowed
personal use airports without a Use Permit. The Division of Aeronautics, however,
required local review of all new airports. After application by Mr. Johnson, the Butte
County Airport Land Use Commission reviewed the proposed private airport and
recommended the Board of Supervisors grant an Airport Permit. The Board subsequently
granted a permit for a Privately owned. Private Use airport and in late 1985 the California
Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics issued a permit for a private airport.
In January of 1991, Mr. Johnson contacted the Division of Aeronautics and requested
reclassification of his airport from a personal -use status to special -use airport. The Butte
County Planning Department asked the Division not to reclassify the airport since the
zoning was now A-20 (Agricultural, 20 acre parcels) and did not allow special -use airports.
However, since the private -use airport was a pre-existing legally established non -conforming
use, Mr. Johnson could apply for an expansion of the non -conforming use pursuant to the
requirements of Butte County code section 24-37. To date no application has been received
by the planning Department.
Over the years there have been several complaints and allegations that the airport was no
longer being used as a private -use airport, but as a public or special -use airport. Proof that
the airport was being used by people other than Mr. Johnson and his 'occasional invited
guests" has been elusive. However, Mr. Johnson recently placed an advertisement
(attached) which clearly indicates that the use of the airport has in fact changed. As such,
it appears that Mr. Johnson is in violation of his existing airport permit as granted by the
state as well as the county A-20 zone.
Mr. Johnson's remedy to. this situation would be to apply for a Use Permit to allow the
expansion or change of character of his non -conforming use to a special -use facility.
However, without acquiring additional land, it does not appear that he can meet the
dimensional requirements of the state. He would need to have each threshold at least 240
ft. from the property line with a smooth unobstructed surface between the threshold and
the property line. There would also have to be an additional 300A of object -free area
which could be located on neighboring ,properties and protected by an easement or other
agreement. Assuming the neighbors refuse to sell their property or easements (and remove
trees, including producing orchard) this would reduce the existing 2000 ft. runway (using
displaced thresholds not allowed on special -use airports) to 920 ft., clearly inadequate for
- - _-..._safe--operations: - Extending the 300 ft. obstruction free arca onto ncia- voices F?vFi%, y iii
only one direction would result in a useable runway length of only 1220 ft.
RECOMMENDATION:
Forward a recommendation to the Butte County Board of Supervisors to set a public
hearing to consider the revocation or modification of the Airport Permit for Cliff Johnson
and recommend that the Board revoke said permit.

Mr..Clifford N. Johnsen
Route 3, Box 508
Chico, CA 95928
Dear Mr. Johnsen:
In response to your recent inquiry concerning use of your
airport, this should clarify our interpretation of a "private use
airport".
As indicated on the state Airport Permit for the Hog Ranch
Airport, condition Number 2 states: "Airport is restricted to
owner and occasional invited guests utilizing aircraft with
adequate performance characteristics." Additionally, the Butte
County Board of Supervisors and the Airport Land Use Commission
approved the airport as a privately -owned, private use facility.
Also, the FAA's no -objection airspace determination is subject to
the airport being operated for private use only.
Your question as to whether there could be as many as six regular
users of the airport and still retain its private -use status
depends upon the degree of ownership the users have. -The
�- Department interprets an "owner" as someone holding fee simple
title or a long term lease (20 years) on the airport property.
Therefore, it is possible for several persons to hold an
undivided interest in the runway. either in fee or long term
lease, and be considered an "owner". However, if the number of
"owners" becomes excessive -for the particular airport in
question, the Department could, in the interest of public safety,
determine that the airport no longer qualifies as "private -use".
Depending on the number of operations generated by as many as six
owners of the Hog Ranch Airport and their guests, it appears as
though private -use status could be retained.

Inter -Departmental Memorandum
To: Airport Land Use Commission
From: David Hironimus, Planning Department
Subject: - -C Ity-of-Chico Referral of Rezone from N -C to PD/R2, AP 48-430-006 and GOo
Date: October 7, 1992
This Proposed Rezone is for the Area Reviewed by three members of the Airport Land
Use Commission for Drake Homes, Foothill Park Unit 8, at their July 8, 1992 meeting (no
quorum present). Attached for reference is the package of information from that meeting.
Since the previous meeting the City of Chico has . accepted a Draft Airport Noise
Compatibility Program: Aircraft Noise Exposure Map Report. The Report has not yet
been adopted. Maps contained in the report indicates that the subject property is located
within a noise sensitive area between the 55 dB and 60 dB contours for both existing and
all future projections. Policies within the existing Land Use Plan for the subject area
indicate. -.-that residential uses should be prohibited. Policies in the existing plan for areas
with similar noise characteristics as those discussed above indicate noise control measures
should be required in all new residential construction.
It should be noted that the existing land use policy was based not only on noise exposure,
but also on safety. The project site is located on the extended runway centerline and in a
direct line of sight from the airport. Accident statistics contained in the Airport Land Use
Planning Handbook prepared by the California Department of Transportation, Division of
Aeronautics indicates that 22% of accidents take place within 1 mile of the airport involved.
The. site is. approximately 1 mile from the end. of the runway.
While the noise exposure maps indicate that there may be cause to revise the land use
policies in the area, there has been no change in the safety aspects of the site. Until the
land use policies are formally changed, the existing policies prohibiting residential uses are
still in effect and must be considered.
RECOMMENDATION:
Find that the proposed rezone site is in an area that is known to be subject to overflights
of both arriving and departing aircraft and related noise and safety hazards and find that
the project to rezone AP 48-430-006 and 008 to PD/R2 does not conform to the Policies
of the Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan and forward this finding to the City of Chico.

AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
MINUTES - July 8, 1992
Review - Drake Homes. Potential for residential development on property now
zoned N -C (Neighborhood Commercial) located in Foothill Park, Unit 8, adjacent
to the southerly end of the Chico Municipal Airport Runway Protection Zone.
Staff said there has been no official application filed at this time. Drake Homes wanted
to get input from ALUC as to what the concerns would be. Staff said Drake Homes is
looking at changing the use from N -C and are considering to go residential uses. Staff
said since there is no official application, no official action can be taken by ALUC at
this time. He said the property is located immediately adjacent to the end of the Clear
zone. He said the existing 65 dB CNEL contour comes right up to this area. He said
the existing airport environs talks about allowing residential uses under these conditions
but the new Environs Plan that the City is working on might not allow for this. Staff
said there is a safety concern for noise.
The hearing was opened to the public.
Tony Simms, representative for Drake Homes, said that there is not enough affordable
homes in Chico and this project would make for affordable housing of 140 single family
dwellings. He said Chico is updating a new Environs Plan and that the new CNEL lines
are being pulled way back and that the noise concerns are getting better with technology,
insulation, notice to property owners are given that people know what they are buying
when they buy a home in the general area of the airport and are aware of the noise
issues. He said Drake Homes has built 100's of homes in the airport environs area. He
said after environmental review, he hopes to apply with a tentative subdivision map by
the end of 1992. He asked the Commission for direction. He said that Drake Homes
is working with the Army Corps of Engineering for additional lands in Foothill Park to
be set aside for permanent reserve.
Mike Kelly, president of Butte County Taxpayers Association, asked that the Commission
look favorably toward this project. He said that Drake Homes are producing affordable
homes that Butte County needs so much. He said the buyers are now aware of the close
proximity of the airport and can adjust to this. He said tax money that this project
would make would help Butte County.
Vince Phelan, 3010 North Avenue Chico, stated that Drake Homes does build good
quality homes but does not look favorably toward this project. He is opposed of the
commercial airline flight training facilities at Chico Municipal airport.
Bob Koch, Assisting City Manager of City of Chico he said from the City of Chico
standpoint would recommend that any decisions would be deferred because the new
CNEL contours have not yet been established and could have a significant impact on
rather or not it is appropriate to put residential housing in this particular area. He said
the City does receive frequent noise complaints on low flying aircraft that comes from
the area north of East Avenue, the area that is in question as well as other places in the
2
AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
MINUTES - July 8, 1992
city. He said the City Council will not take official action on this proposal until after
the environs plan is adopted.
The hearing was closed to the public.
Commissioner Crotts said she would feel uncomfortable making any kind of
encouragement at this time until the airport environs plan is updated and because of
noise complaints that come in daily from this specific area.
Commissioner Schwartz said he is concerned with safety. He said the issue of noise is
controllable. He said it is an unfortunate place to want to put a lot of houses because
it is at the end of the main runway.
Staff said that the City of Chico has commercial zoning in this location which -does not
allow for large concentrations of people where in a residential zone it does.
Commissioner Schwartz asked about the different noise complaints that the city managers
office takes? He asked if there is a log kept of the different. complaints?
Mr. Koch said that they come from different areas. He said no log is kept at this time,
but would be a good idea to have one started and will see that it is done.
It was a consensus of the Commission to wait until the Airport Environs Plan is adopted
and more information becomes available.
3. Review - Dept. of Transportation. potential school site. CUSD..within 2 miles of
Chico Municipal Airport.
Staff said located directly under one of the flight paths from .the McClintock study and
near another flight path. Staff said noise does not appear to be .a factor and the existing
plan permits Quasi - Public Quasi uses through the Use Permit process. He said without
having the new Environs Plan and policies in place it; is, difficult 'to make a finding.
Since we are dealing with a school, safety would, be the biggest concern of the
Commission.
Commissioner Schwartz said safety should be our major concern. He said it is tough
when you need a new school with a good, area.
Staff said he spoke with, -Jim Michael of Division of Aeronautics and their concerns is
that of an alternate site. '
3.

AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
MINUTES - July 8, 1992
Chairman Rossas said he visited this site and agrees on the safety factor. He said most
airplane accidents happen next to airports, and having a school next to an airport would
not be a good area- for a school. He said `the sound environment changes the
educational system. He said if there is a flight school with a lot of touch and go would
ruin teaching because of the noise. He said it is not ,the ideal place to have a school.
He said he spoke with a family in that area and they agreed that this is not a good site
for a school.
Commissioner Crotts said she agrees with Chairman Rossas. She said an alternate
location should be found.
The hearing was opened to the public.
Vince Phelan, said the flight patterns shown on the McClintock Study map are not
followed.
Commissioner Crotts said she had a problem with the letter from the Division of
Aeronautics that is dated after this meeting, July 10, 1992.
Staff told Mr. Michaels he would forward a letter with staff recommendations with
impressions from the commission.
Commissioner Schwartz said staff should inform the site selection committee and let them
know that there is a negative action" being taken on this site.
Staff said he would notify the Chico Unified School District.
4. Status Revort - Oroville Municival Airport Environs Plan text revision.
Chairman Rossas the runway extension is on target. He said the wetlands report is being
worked on. He said over half the property has been purchased. He said the zoning is
being changed. He said the annexation has not taken place yet. He said they are
currently replacing underground fuel tanks.
5. Status Report - Chico Municipal Airport Environs Plan.
Mr. Koch said Chico's consultant is completing phase I of the project which includes
developing the exposure maps, gathering and validating data, land use info and in a draft
report will be before Chico Airport Commission on July 23rd meeting. He said once this
F11

is completed, the consultant will be working on the CNEL contour lines. He said this
will hopefully be completed by fall 1992.
6. Business from the floor.
Alternate Commissioner Gerst said he has noticed activity happening on 18th Street,
Thermalito.
Chairman Rossas said this project has come before this commission.
Staff said just a corner of the project touched within the 1 mile radius of the clear zone.
V. CORRESPONDENCE
The first administrative draft of the Airport Land Use Commission policy procedure
manuals were handed out to those commissioners and alternates present. Staff asked the
Commission to review and comment to the consultant to be included in the final draft.
Commissioner Schwartz said the commission should write and compliment the consultant
on the excellent work done on the manual.

Inter -Departmental Memorandum
To: Airport Land Use Commission
From: David Hironimus, Planning Department
Subject: Drake Homes, Foothill Park Unit 8
Date: July 1, 1992
Drake Homes has asked the Airport Land Use Commission to review the possibility of
changing the planned use of Foothill Park Unit 8 from commercial offices to residential.
The subject property is located within the.incorporated city limits of Chico. The current
zoning is N -C (Neighborhood Commercial) which requires a use permit for residential uses.
The current Chico Municipal Airport Environs -Plan designates the area as being in a
Compatible Land Use Zone (CLUZ) IIp. Excerpts from the plan describing CLUZ IIp are
attached. The text in the plan states that the primary constraints to development are
proximity to the 65 dB CNEL boundary and proximity to the flight corridors.
While preliminary indications are that the noise contours will contract (upon adoption of
a revised Airport Environs Plan now under development) due to both reduced commercial
jet traffic and generally quieter newer aircraft, unforseen increases in air carrier or business
jet traffic could impact the area in the future. Additionally, development permitted now,
based on 20 -year projections, will still be in place 30, 40 or 50 years from now. - As chico
grows toward the middle of the 21st century, demand for air transportation of people and
goods will almost certainly increase.
Since the property in question is adjacent to the end of the southerly Runway Protection
Zone, almost all flights either approach or depart over the site. this situation is not likely
to change due to the design of the airport and prevailing weather conditions.
While no official application has been made, The applicant would like direction from the
commission regarding his request.
RECOMMENDATION:
Find that under the existing Plan residential uses in the area are strongly discouraged. but
note that the City of Chico is now working on a new plan which may result in policies that
are considerably different than those in effect today. Any findings made as a result of a
formal application will be subject to the policies in effect at that time.

*Recommended actions
(5) Other proposed land uses should be subject to
acceptable noise exposure level guidelines as
recommended by the California State Department
of Health (Exhibit 4-3).
8.3.2 CLUZ Area IIP
'The next .level of restriction. is applied to areas which would normally
-qualify for residential land use if the - noise exposure, 1 evel s constituted
the only constraint to development. There are two additional considera-
tions which have been applied in defining this special category. First,
the land in this category abuts the existing airport south property
-.boundary. This factor, taken together with the location -.of the CNEL 65
.contour as a second consideration, indicates a potential for more serious
future land use conflicts than might normally!be associated with the
CLUZ II area. The CNEL 65 contour boundary, projected for future flight
operations, extends to the limits of the airport property to the south.
Any unforeseen increase in air carrier or business jet traffic at CIC
beyond the forecast levels could cause this legal restriction on resi-
dential.land use to extend onto these adjacent parcels. If this situation
were to occur, it would create a clear.mandate for future acquis-ition of
any affected residential properties.
There are two large parcels having boundaries common with the south
airport property line which are affected by the CLUZ IIP category. Each
of these parcels was.subdivided for planning purposes when the county
staff created the Interim Zone boundaries. The easternmost of these two
parcels is transected by the two branches of Sycamore Creek. These two
creek beds form easily identifiable natural geographic divisions on the
property. It was decided to use these to further refine the CLUZ planning
area in order to avoid a blanket restrictive categorization of the entire
parcel. This has the dual benefit ofmaintaining practical divisions of
the parcel for planning and reserving a portion of the property -for land
8-11
2
use which would prove more beneficial to the property owner. It is
recommended that the CLUZ IIP boundary be extended to the east to
follow the north branch of Sycamore Creek and continue along the
Interim Zone boundary and the south limit of the two parcels.in
_ question,. as7 illustrated in CIC -13. This allows -for maximum pro-
tection of both the CNEL 65 noise exposure area and the flight corridor
concept. Recognizing that most of the Interim Zone property between
the two creek beds falls outside the flight corridor,: there is.an
argument to be made -for pulling the-CL"UZ.IIP boundary-back.to.the
south branch of Sycamore Creek. This would -constitute a "least re-
strictive" option for ultimate zoning of this parcel.. The final
decision between this and the recommended "most restrictive" option.
should be made locally and should reflect local community attitudes
and priorities.
The second, or westernmost, of the two parcels affected by the CLUZ
IIP category was also subdivided by the county staff in defining the
Interim Zone boundaries. In this case, it is believed that there is
a clear requirement to use the parcel boundary and the.Interim Zone
boundary to define the remainder of the CLUZ IIP area. Again, this
reserves approximately half the total- parcel for land uses more bene-
ficial to the.property owner.. The particular characteristics of the
Interim Zone boundary, i.e.--, the series of ninety degree turns in the
perimeter, result in an intrusion of some small segments of uncon-
strained property into the noise.exposure and flight corridor on this
second of two parcels. These small intrusions currently carry an S -R .
zoning designation, allowing single family residential'' development with
.a minimum lot -size of 8,125 -square -feet. Any residential land use
would be unacceptable in these small segments of the parcel lying within
the flight corridor.. If the existing SR zoning is to be retained for*
8-12
remainder of the parcel, it will be necessary to incorporate a more
restrictive zoning on these small segments to protect these areas.
The other (easternmost) parcel has the Interim Zone overlap extending
outside the -flight corridor.. This presents the opportunity for a
separate zoning category in the segment outside the Interim Zone area,. _
..consistent with the.Interim Zone boundaries.
Recommendations:
----(1)-..The. parcel segments,.within the Interim Zone
boundary, designated as CLUZ IIP areas should
carry.an A -X (Agricultural) zone.classification-
consistent with the size of. parcel.
(2) Residential units (one single family) allowed
under this classification should be restricted
to contiguous property outside the CLUZ IIP
area.
(3) Use permits for any uses involving concentrations
of people (parks, golf courses, churches, other
public or quasi -public uses) should not be granted.
8.3.3 CLUZ.Area II
.All areas falling under the CLUZ II category lie within the Interim Zone
-boundaries. The only residential land use specifically excluded under
this category is mobile home park development. This 'is designed -to elim-
inate concentrations.of residential uni-ts with potentially unacceptable
outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction characteristics. Other residential
.units are subject to controls over building construction methods and
procedures as specified in -existing state law and recommended County
Ordinance.

V. BUSINESS
1. Status Report - Oroville. Municipal Airport Environs Plan.
A brief report was made by the Subcommittee. Commissioner Walter asked the
Commission for comments on what the Committee should recommend for the boundaries
of the area of influence.
Commissioner Rossas said that the City of Oroville would agree to having the overflight
area at either 7,000 or 10,000 ft. He stated that the City of Oroville is pretty well
protected.
There was a brief discussion on the different runways.
Staff said the area within 5,000 ft. of, the end of the existing threshold is City property
for the approach zone. He said that pieces of the overflight area are County property.
Commissioner Walter said that the overflight area extends out to 7,000 ft. in the current
city proposal.
Staff said extending the overflight area out to 10,000 ft. with the existing development
would cause endless concerns with property owners wanting to build to match existing
development. Staff said he agrees with keeping the overflight area at 7,000 ft. Staff
said next month we will be adopting a new Airport Master Plan Map which shows the
full 10,000 ft. overflight area. He said that map will need to be modified. He said he
will prepare a map showing the different overflight areas.
Commissioner Rossas stated that Commissioner Stevens was unable to attend the
