02-288 Public Hearing - Use Permit Appeal - Jose Luis Vega - consideration
of an appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a Use Permit to
allow the establishment and operation of a wood processing business.
The business would involve the recycling of wood, producing wood
surveyor's stakes, wood cut stock, and in the future, making honey
bee boxes out of pine. The applicant anticipates three full-time
employees. An equipment building is developed on the site, which is
the only structural improvement. A portable toilet is used on-site
currently and no water service is available, but the site will be
improved with a septic system and well water service. A permit was
issued on April 4, 2002, by the Butte County Environmental Health
Department, to construct a well for water service on-site. The
existing 2,800 square foot building would be used and no new
structures are anticipated. A 100 kilowatt diesel generator would
provide power. This is a project on which notice of intent to adopt
a negative declaration with mitigation measures regarding
environmental impacts has been given. The property is located
approximately 500 feet north of Cox Lane on the west side of Lone
Tree Road, Palermo, and identified as APN 025-170-055 (RC [UP 02-
11]) - STAFF RECOMMENDS THE BOARD TAKE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TWO
ACTIONS:

the expansion of the Neal Road Landfill. The area to be rezoned is

owned by Butte County. A 120± acre portion of this property is
developed with the Neal Road Landfill and is zoned P-Q. Upon

zoned P-Q. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified by the
Board of Supervisors on February 12, 2002, to allow the expansion of
the Neal Road Landfill. The expansion would allow the landfill to
increase capacity and continue to accept waste until approximately
2034. The EIR identified potentially significant impacts to the
environment and required mitigation measures to prevent or reduce
these impacts to a less than significant level. The Certified EIR
is available for review at the Butte County Public Works Department.
All of the mitigation measures contained within the EIR would be
implemented and monitored by the Butte County Public Works
Department. The project site is located on the west side of the Neal
Road Landfill (1023 Neal Road), south of Chico (SB [REZ 02-03]) -

parcels ranging in size from 8, 346 to 12, 350 square feet (0.19 - 0.28
acres) with an average lot size of 10,106 square feet. The project
