Subject: Proposed Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone parcel exemption request by Knife River
Construction
Dear decision makers:
Knife River Construction owns parcel
017-260-180 adjacent to the Skyway in Butte County.The parcel is approximately 7 acres and is zoned GI (general
industrial).
As currently drafted the proposed Butte Creek Canyon Overlay Zone Ordinance Section 24-34.1 will severely impede any
future development of this parcel. An example of such impediments is the requirement that future development areas
of impervious surfaces be limited to 15%or less of the total area. impervious surfaces are roofs, parking lots,driveways,
sidewalks, patios etc.While such a restriction may be in concert with residential development planning in rural settings
it is entirely in conflict with general industrial development abutting our four lane artery connecting Chico and Paradise.
Knife River Construction respectfully requests that its GI zoned parcel (017-260-180) be exempted from an ordinance
aimed at responsibly planning residential development.
Sincerely,
Rene Vercruyssen
GM/VP
Knife River Construction
