Dear Mr. Myers:

The Butte County Department of Development Services, Code Enforcement section has determined by
inspection and research that there are currently code violations present on your property at the above -
referenced location. Suecifically. the violations include -
The keeping of inoperable vehicles in public view.
This is an advisory notice that these uses are in violation of the Butte County Code, as follows:
Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-230 - The U (Unclassified) zone does not "specifically
authorize" large accumulations of junk. The storing of more than 100 square feet of "junk" on a parcel
is one of the items used to determine that a "junkyard" condition exists. A "junkyard" is not an
allowed use in the U zone without a Use Permit. "Automobiles and other vehicles, dismantled, in
whole or in part" are considered to be "junk." Chapter 11, Section 114 forbids people, whether at a
licensed junkyard location or not, from storing junk in public view.
The determination that these violations exist on the property is based on the following definitions in the Butte
County Code:
Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-305.240 - Junk. Any worn-out and discarded material in
general that may be turned to some use including, but not limited to, any old iron, wire, copper, tin,
lead, rags, paper, bags, lumber, empty bottles, bones, parts of bicycles, tricycles, baby carriages,
automobiles, and other vehicles, dismantled, in whole or in part, kept, stored, located, situated or piled
in public view, and all other similar personal property ordinarily defined and classified as "junk" kept,
stored, located, situated or piled in public view and not screened from public view by a fence.
