CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO SECTION
15303{C}, CONVERSION OF EXISTING SMALL
STRUCTURES FROM ONE USE TO ANOTHER; AND
ZONING ORDINANCE FINDING A. THE PROPOSED USE
WILL IMPAIR THE INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER OF THE
ZONE, AND WOULD BE UNREASONABLY INCOMPATIBLE
AND INJURIOUS TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES,
AND DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND GENERAL
WELFARE OF THE PERSONS RESIDING OR WORKING IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE 1. FOR THE REASONS
SPECIFIED BELOW, THE PROPOSED USE IS MORE OF
AN INSTITUTIONAL CHARACTER THAN A RESIDENTIAL
CHARACTER AND WOULD BE IN CONFLICT WITH THE
PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE COUNTY'S R-1 ZONE
"...TO PROVIDE SUITABLE AREAS AND ENVIRONMENTS
FOR FAMILIES, INDIVIDUAL OWNERS AND RENTERS IN
SMALLER, RELATIVELY COMPACT, SINGLE FAMILY
DWELLINGS...." AND "...TO STABILIZE
NEIGHBORHOODS OF THESE DWELLING TYPES BY
PROTECTING THEM FROM ENCROACHMENT BY
INCOMPATIBLE AND POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE
USES." BUTTE COUNTY CODE SECTION 24-120; A)
THE INDIVIDUALS PROPOSED TO LIVE AT THE

OF AN INSTITUTIONAL NATURE RATHER THAN BEING A
PART OF A "FAMILY" OR CHOOSING IN A COMPLETELY
VOLUNTARY MANNER HOW AND WHETHER TO LIVE
THERE; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT BE LIVING
TOGETHER AS A SINGLE HOUSEKEEPING UNIT WITHIN
THE MEANING OF THE R-1 ZONE.; B) THE
INDIVIDUALS PROPOSED TO LIVE AT THE FACILITY
ARE RECOVERING ADDICTS WHO MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO CONTINUING THEIR DESTRUCTIVE LIFESTYLES OR
BEING INFLUENCED AND VISITED BY FORMER
ASSOCIATES WITH DESTRUCTIVE LIFESTYLES.;
C) THE BUILDINGS PROPOSED TO BE USED AT THE
FACILITY ARE NOT OF A COMPACT NATURE AND ARE
PROPORTIONATELY MUCH LARGER THAN THE OTHER
EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. IF THESE BUILDINGS WERE USED IN
THE MANNER INTENDED, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE
RESIDENTIAL USE BUT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE
CLASSES, COUNSELING AND VISITATIONS, WITH MANY
NON-RESIDENTS COMING TO THE PREMISES, AND
GROUP RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES OCCURRING BOTH
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BUILDINGS, IT WOULD BE
OUT OF CHARACTER WITH THE EXISTING LEGALLY
ESTABLISHED USES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.; D} THE
CONFIGURATION OF THE PREMISES IS SUCH THAT
THERE ARE 13 EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES
WHICH ARE CONTIGUOUS TO IT AND TWO ADDITIONAL
EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES ARE DIRECTLY
ACROSS PALMETTO AVENUE FROM IT, AND THESE
EXISTING RESIDENCES WOULD BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED
BY PROPOSED ACTIVITIES ON THE PREMISES.;
2. THE EXISTING SEWAGE FACILITIES ON THE
PREMISES ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE PROPOSED
NUMBER OF RESIDENTS AND STAFF.; AND 3. THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE RESIDING IN, WORKING IN AND
VISITING THE SITE WOULD INCREASE THE VOLUME OF
FOOT AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
SIGNIFICANTLY TO A LEVEL OUT OF CHARACTER WITH
