I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS:
1. Failure to comply with the conditions specified herein as the basis for approval of
application and issuance of Permit constitutes cause for the revocation of said permit in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Butte County Zoning Ordinance, including
Butte County Code Sec. 24-251.
2. Unless otherwise provided for in a special condition to this Minor Use Permit, all
conditions must be completed prior to or concurrently with the establishment of the granted

Changes deemed to be major or significant in nature shall require a formal application for
amendment.
4. If any use for which a Minor Use Permit has been granted is not established within two
years of the receipt of the Permit by the Permittee consistent with conditions of approval
herein, the Permit shall become null and void and reapplication pursuant to Butte County
Code Section 24-248 shall be required to establish the use previously granted under the
expired Permit unless, 30 days prior to the expiration date, a request for a one year
extension is submitted to the Planning Commission together with sufficient evidence that
the time limits for processing development permits under federal or state regulations
require time limits which exceed one year. Upon application, and for good cause by the

Planning Commission may extend any time limitation previously made a part of any
condition to a Minor Use Permit.
5. The terms and conditions of this Permit shall run with the land and shall be binding upon
and to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns of the
Permittee.
6. Neither the applicant, nor any agent nor representative of the applicant shall intentionally
omit or misrepresent any material fact in connection with the application. Any alleged
material misrepresentation shall constitute grounds for the Director of Development
Services to commence a revocation hearing, and, if proven to exist, shall constitute
sufficient grounds to revoke the Permit.
