O1-268 Paradise Rod and Gun Club - Use Permit - consideration of an
appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of a Conditional
Use Permit to develop a private outdoor shooting range for
pistol, rifle, and shotgun shooting on a 40 acre parcel zoned
"U" (Unclassified) and S-H (Scenic Highway) and designated
Grazing and Open Land by the Butte County General Plan (this is
a project on which notice of intent to adopt a mitigated
negative declaration regarding environmental impacts has been
given). The rifle and pistol range will provide 10 shooting
positions each, and the trap range will provide 5 shooting
positions. Targets will be provided at 25, 50, 75, 100, 150,
and 200 meters. A trap house will be developed for the trap
range. The rifle range will be developed with shooting
platforms that restrict shooting activity to the target area.
Target areas will be improved with bunkers to intercept fired
rounds. All improvements at the range will be developed in
accordance with the National Rifle Association's standards and
recommendations. All shooting activity will be controlled by
a range safety officer. Typical activities at the range will
include trap, rifle and pistol shooting, junior training
clinics, California State hunter safety clinics, "zeroing" day,
and law enforcement officer practice, training and
certification (proposed for 1 day per month). Daily hours are
proposed to be from 9:00 a.m. to sunset. The range will not be
open to the general public. The shooting range facility will
also include an archery range, dry cast fly fishing area,
picnic area, 15 parking stalls, and portable restrooms. Access
will be provided by an existing private driveway, which
connects the property to the Skyway. The property is located
approximately 2.8 miles southwest of the Town of Paradise, and
southeast of, and adjacent to the Skyway, approximately 2.2
miles northeast of Rocky Bluffs Drive, northeast of, and
