as now exist.

Traversable access discussed, Supervisor Ladd felt that when
a parcel is less than five acres in size, the County should require a
traversable access to a County maintained road, Supervisor Gilman felt

was set out by Priscilla Tianfoxd", Clay Castleberry stated that the
Subdivision prdinance limit'is;also five-.hundred feet, but some have
been approved up to 1,300-feet. -Discussed, Supervisor Gilman stated that
if__ there were more definitive standards, the Board could follow the
Planning Commission's decisions and would probably reduce appeals.
Mr, Castleberry explained his proposal of legal access and cul-
de-sacs. Discussed,
George Gilbert, planning Commissioner, stated that if the definition
in the ordinance is followed,-there would be no extensions of cul~de~sacs
beyond 500 ft, Beyond that would be a dead-end road,
The Board was in agreement that cul-de-sacs be limited to 500
feet and beyond this is dead-end road.

minimum lot size as proposed by.the Planning Commission, Discussed.
,Howard Toussaint stated that 8,125 square feet minimum .lot size is not
used any longer when considering septic tanks, Discussed, Supervisor
Gilman felt it would be advisable to leave the minimum lot size out of
the proposed ordinance, and tie it to sanitation,
It was agreed that minimum lot size would be left off the ordinance,
and would be dependent upon sanitation requirements and zoning,
Howard Toussaint stated he would- submit water quality standards
to the Planning Commission so they would be included in the hearings for the

_ _ - - - _ ~ _ _ _ _Oatobar=l0,=1973 = _ _ _ _ _ = _ _ = o o ~ ~ _
He suggested that in a large rezoning, send notices to a sample of the
property owners, Mr, Lawson felt planning would still receive complaints
from people who would not be informed of a hearing,
Dan Blackstoclc felt that if the Board and Planning Commission
want more notice than the legal advertisement, that it should be a
matter of policy, not an ordinance, It is very difficult to prove that
a notice was mailed,
The Board felt the matter be referred to the Planning Commission
for a recommendation,
,~ 73-1634 DISCUSSION: GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY
Jim Lawson, planning director, discussed the alternatives fox

of "A-2" (general) discussed, Priscilla Hanford felt it was understood
that if the County proceeds with interim zoning for the "A-2" areas,
-~ " -sand -demonstrate ~to~'thee-'3tate that °G~.3~1•>study"the situation for 120 days,
the requirements may be satisfied, She suggested using a modified "A-2"
interim zoning with the idea that later "AR-MH" and "A-20" could be used
for permanent zoning, Matter discussed.

recommendation to firing.the General Plan into consistency. '

urban area line for the Chico area. He stated that the Planning Commission

that they have acted upon, which would enable the Board to also act
on it, ,7im Lawson stated that the County is faced with either monumental
mass rezoning of the County or.an amendment to the General Plan. Discussed.
Chairman McKillop felt that an intexim zoning of the "A-$" zones
wauld cause many problems, because there are so many uses.
Jim Lawson suggested that the General Plan should be amended
to change open grazing land to unclassified. Discussed,
' It was the feeling of the Board that the General Plan be amended
to change the "A-2" open grazing land to Unclassified. It was also felt
that action should begin immediately to resolve the "A-2" zoning. The
Planning Commission was directed to begin proceedings to rezone the "A-2'!
