He feels that there should be some preplanning before the fact. He felt the County. has to look to the future and. see these problems. Supervisor Maxan said he felt this enterprise would benefit the taxpayer and would permit someone raho owns land to use it to his advantage. Jim Lawson, Planning .Director, explained the feelings of the County Planning Commission and the Chico Planning Commission. They feel That this use would not be consistent to either general plan.
