User comment: Good morning. My family of 3 lives in the city of Chico, however we are technically
not in the city limits due the Chico area zoning map. We live on 1.1 acres with a 500 sq. foot
accessory building that was built and permitted as an office when the main house was built over 25
years ago. It has a bedroom, bathroom and mini-bar, which is hooked into the septic tank of the
main house. We are trying to renovate the inside of this office for my aging 85 year old mother by
adding a kitchen so that she can continue to live on her own as long as she can. My architect has told
me that he is running into some permit problems with the county building department and/or Butte
County Environmental Health merely because it would change the definition of the building from an
"office" to an "ADU". According to the BCEH, changing the building to an "ADU" would require a
separate septic tank. However, the main septic tank that the office is already attached to is fully
functional and in good order. Apparently, we can't put in a "kitchen" because I was told I'd have to
add another septic tank to my property. This is very frustrating because I could add more square
footage with more bathrooms to the main house and still use the existing septic tank, and yet I can't
use the same septic tank for my mother who lives by herself? I appreciate in advance your attempt
to correct this ever-growing predicament that seems to be increasing in our growing community.
Thank you for your time, Erik Roos
