3.13 Williamson Act - Determination of Compatibility for Minor Use Permit MUP16-0015 (Foster) -
This is a request for a determination of compatibility with the Williamson Act for Minor Use
Permit MUP16-0015 (Foster). The Minor Use Permit will allow the expansion of a legal,
nonconforming bunkhouse as an Agricultural Worker Housing Center on APN 041-130-036. The
bunkhouse structure was legally established, but has not been previously permitted as an
Agricultural Worker Housing Center. The requested expansion of the nonconforming use
therefore requires approval of a Minor Use Permit under Butte County Zoning Section 24-122.D.
The applicant has concurrently applied for the building permit (1316-2828) to enlarge the
structure. Second dwellings are not currently permitted on Williamson Act parcels; thus Butte
County Zoning Section 24-14.G.5 requires a deed restriction limiting the structure's use to an
Agricultural Worker Housing Center. On February 15, 2017, the Zoning Administrator
conditionally approved MUP16-0015, subject to a determination of consistency with the
Williamson Act by the Board of Supervisors. Per Rule 2.13.3 and Rule 3.0 of the County's
Williamson Act program, a conditionally permitted use may be allowed on Williamson Act lands
when the Board of Supervisors determines the use to be compatible with the Williamson Act, in
consideration of a recommendation from the Land Conservation Act Advisory Committee. Under
Government Code section 51238.1, uses on Williamson Act lands must be consistent with a set
of principles of compatibility as outlined in the staff report to the Land Conservation Act Advisory
Committee. On March 6, 2017, the Land Conservation Act Advisory Committee recommended
Minor Use Permit MUP16-0015 (Foster) to the Board of Supervisors as compatible with the
County's Williamson Act program, with recordation of the required deed restriction limiting the
subject structure's use to agricultural worker housing as long as the property remains in the
Williamson Act, as well as the applicant's payment of any outstanding fees—action requested—
DETERMINE THAT MUP16-0015 (FOSTER) IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE WILLIAMSON ACT WITH
RECORDATION OF THE REQUIRED DEED RESTRICTION LIMITING THE SUBJECT STRUCTURE'S USE
TO AGRICULTURAL WORKER HOUSING AS LONG AS THE PROPERTY REMAINS IN THE
WILLIAMSON ACT, AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT'S PAYMENT OF ANY OUTSTANDING FEES.
