75-419 JOINT MEBTING WITH PLANNING COMMISSION
Gene Sylva, Chairman of the Planning Commission, started the meeting
off with setting out background matters to be discussed during this meeting.
He said that for the record the recommendations presented to the Board by the
Planning Commission are usually based on good judgment and based upon
information received at public hearings. Actions taken at Planning Commission
meetings explained. The Planning Commission hears the complaints and
opposition at the hearings. When a recommendation is made Co the Board of
Supervisors by Che Planning Commission, Chen the acCion of the Board of
Supervisors should be to either deny therequeat, modify it or pass it in
its entirety. Mr. Sylva explained the Planning Commission members feelings
in Chis matter.
Supervisor McKillop stated that at the Board of Supervisors'
hearings, the Board gets different in-put than presented at the Planning
Commission hearings. Supervisor Richter agreed with Supervisor McKillop,
stating that the Board does get different facto than the Planning Commission.
No one shows up at the Plan~eing meetings; when the Board holds their hearing,

a great number of people are present to either object ar approve the request
before the Board.
Chairman Ladd said he would like to have this meeting go as an
informal meeting. All Planning Commission members present sho~.d'be allowed
to speak.
Mrs. Yriaeilla Hanford, Planning Commissioner, stated that it might
be well worth suggesting that the reason the Board receives different data
at their meetings is that it has been obvious that noses are counted at the
Board meetings but they are not at the Planning Commission hearings. These
people put the heat on the Board members. Supervisor Richter said he does
not want to give the opinion th^.t theBoard counts heads; this is not true.
It is a matter of the facts that are presented at the Board hearings.
Mrs. Hanford said the Planning Commission would prefer when Che
Board sends something back to the Planning Commission, that it be for anew
hearing. Chairman Ladd explained why items are sent back to the Planning
Commission,
Mrs. Hanford said their main concern was on how and what pace the
Board expects them to proceed with the State requiremenL• for a General Plan.
There has been no action by this Board on the :eather Falls rezoning.
She explained the matters involved in the Planning Commissions study.
They have had a continued Lack of decisions regarding some of the important
rezoning areas. There is a lack of progress is regard to the timber mountain
zoning. A decision should be processed throLgh this Board on the Feather
Falls rezoning. Tae Planning Co:mniasion needs direction from the Board of
Supervisors on the prioritq areas remaining to be zoned. Mrs. Hanford asked
why the Planning Commission should spend time studying and making recommendations
if the Board is not going to act on their recommendations. The Planning
Commission wants to be sure that when they complete a study it ie not le€t
dangling before a decision is made.
Supervisor McKillop commented on the study made on the Cohasset
area. He felt it is a good study. Forest Ranch has a committee that is
working on the rezoning for that area. These jobs have been well done.
Mountain areas discussed. Mooretowa is being well studied by
the people.
Supervisor McRillop stated that the County of Buttes General Plan
was inferior to the other counties, as far as the open space element was
concerned. Mrs. Hanford felt that it would be beneficial if this Board would
express themselves to a comprehenai•~e plan for t'~e County. Maybe outside
help should be obtained in this examination. There should be a General Plan
review.
Supervisor Richter said the ag plan concerns him. He does not
Iike the Chico plan for the wesC area. Chico does noC have an inventory
of the uses. There ie an element in Ghico that takes a view that there
should be absolutely no development on lend that has Vina loam; tiis is
shown as ag zoning.
Mrs. Hanford set out examples of zoning and their changes. Some
things in the mobile home park designation are wrong. She would like to see
conaultantsacpplied to give the planners data on zoning problems. The Planning
Commission hoe been told repeatedly that thin would help greatly in the ease
of keeping the County out of Court. There should be sufficient supporting
evidence in the General Plan. Page 137.

Luis Camenzind, Planning Commission member, read sections of
Article 4 of the Constitution. He explained the problem of zoning that
has increased the taxes on private property. Mr. Camenzind said that if
the County wanted to protect the agriculture lands, then they should
follow the proper assessment procedures. These farmers are being forced off
the land because of taxation. Mr. Camenzind asked if A-2 zoning is a
legal zoning in this County.
Dan Blackatock, County Counsel, explained A-2 zoning. Certain
uses are subject to a use permit.
Mr. Watson said that one of the things that distressed him ,.ia
the use of the interim zoning. Iaterim zones have been put on top of other
zoning that tenses inequities. There should be a mechanism that could
breach these inequitiee•r-. Supervisor Bichter stated he was going to be
aver; difficult person to get to vote favorably on interim zoning.
Another matter presented by the members of the Planning Commission
was that they just handle the horde of people thaC want something dose. A
lot of matters could be handled by someone at a desk. it would cut d^wn on
the traffic at the Planning Commission meetings. Mr. Blackatock stated that
this has been talked over many times. If the Board wishes, they can set
out a procedure in this regard.
Mr. Sylva stated that there era items that do not need to;
be placed before the Board. Only the appeal deciaioae should be taken
before the Flanning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Appeal
procedures should be left in.
Mr. Sylva said he was hopeful that the Board would re-consider
their appointments to the E.I.R. Committee. Someone from planning should
be sitting on that Committee that could balance out the vote. Suggeatlon
discussed.
County Counsel will prepare s List of items that could be handled
by the Planning staff; the Board could decide whether Chey want to modify
the list. Mr. Lawson will get a list to the Board regarding the use
permit process.
B.I.R. Committee discussed.
Supervisor Richter said he would like to make one point, this
concerns the west side zoning in the agriculture lands. He would like to
recommend to the Board that a citizens advisory committee he appointed for
that area sad that they study and make recommendations for the best
zoning for that area. He feels that this should be handled as soon as
possible.
Mrs. Smith, Planning Commissioner, said she feels vary strongly
that the County moat have a representative from the Planning Office on the
E.I.R. Committee. She feels that the adminiaCering of the reports would
be greatly enhanced. This representative should have a vote on the committee.
Committee discussed.
Mrs. Hanford said she would like Co hear from some a£ the Board
members on the items presented by the Planning Commissioners. She does not
feel that she hoe any more direction from the Board now than when this
meeting started, Should the Planning Commission proceed with some proposals
for other areas or should they wait until people come to the Planning
Commission with zoning requests. She would also like an answer to the
request about a voting member from the Planning Department.

Statements of Mrs. Hanford discussed,
On motion of Supervisor Madigan, seconded by Supervisor McKillop

the Planning Department and the second member to be a public safety member,
from the ~hrtsiff~s Department, making a total of five members, -

interim zoning discussed. The general sympathy is far more
restraint in the interim zoning. An announcement should be made at a
Board meeting that a committee is going to be set up so people could be
presenC to request to be appointed to the committee. Tk:e committee meetings
should tae open to the public. Supervisor McKillop felt that the interim
zonings should only be an emergency measure; he would be amiable to having
the interim zoning requests put off one week to give the Board an opportunity
to view the area.
it was moved by Supervisor McKillop and seconded by Supervisor Madigan
that it be a policy of, the Board that interim zoning requests bP put over one
week Co get in-put o£ khe people and to determine if there would be auy problems
in placing interim zoning on the area.
Motion discussed., Chairman Ladd did not agree with the motion.
He explained problems that are created by not acting right away on the
interim zoning. Supervisor Richter agreed that there .are not notices'or
hearings on interims;~he would vote against this motion. Supervisor Richter
said he'was gofng~to say to Mr. Lawson when interim zoning requests are
before the Board, is .this fAr the health, safety and welfare of the people.
t~r.~Lawson read the Government Code section relating to interfm zoning.
He felt'~that a basic 4titiue kieciaion ie going to have to be made on any request.
Brian Rix, deputy county counsel, suggested that it might be
helgful in'the future if the individual requesting the interim zoning go
First to the Planning Department with his request so thaC the Planning
Department would have a list of matters pending and could present this list
to the Soard before the interim zoning is adopted.
Time spent discussing the problems created by interim zoning.
No vote tatcen on the motion.
Mrs. Smith bxough~ lip the matter of the Chico General Plan. She
felt it was prettq complex pliaa. She has esctracted every reference made
in the plan of impliementation to be made by the County, where there is
County ~ur~sdiction. !~he felt this might be helpful to the Board. The Board
+embers et+gted that.:tfiiy would like a ctpy of Chis list.
Mrs. Hanford felt it would be helpful if the Board and Planning
Commission,had another meeting, wi*-h the inclusion of the Assessor at Che
meeting. In this way,,3the Soard might be able to better understand the
economi"r, itapact o£ the~r decibions. There needs to be some broad policy
guidelines in zoniag.;•This'm~ght be a good time to have such a meeting,
with a iaew;Assessor ~iayying be{en elected. Supervisor McRillop agreed that
there should be etimmunicatibnb with the Aasesaor, Could discuss the
asseseipg of the pi•ope~ty that is affected by the zoning.
