User comment: Many things are very disturbing about this, not the least of which was Doug Teeter's
announcing at the very end that the way the decision was made was unconstitutional and then
everyone burst out out laughing while Todd Kimmelshue said "Well done, well done" and then Bill
Connelly muttered "it actually makes it easier". But, first-some context of how ominous this 5.1
amendment to Butte County Code chapter 20 subdivision ordinance California 23–0001 could be
becomes clear when considering Gavin Newsom's highly unconstitutional SB3182 , authored by a
suspicious Phil Ting and signed into "law" by Galvin Newsom on Jan 1 2021 , which robs homeowners
of protections afforded to them by their homeowners' association CC&Rs and which were part of a
contractual agreement when they bought their home. All codes, rules and regulations in the
governing documents of a homeowners association are there to preserve the property value and the
quality of life of all homeowners . SB3182 is a direct attack on that because it removes a
homeowners association's ability to limit the amount of rentals that exist in their HOA. Then in 2024,
Gavin Newsom signed a flurry of bills in 2024 that increase the number of Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs) that can be built in the state. These bills include: SB 1211: Increases the number of detached
ADUs that can be built on multifamily properties. It also relaxes parking and development standards.
AB 2533: Creates new requirements for all local ADU ordinances. SB 1077: Requires the California
Coastal Commission and the Department of Housing and Community Development to create
guidance for ADUs in coastal areas. These bills, along with others, are intended to address
California's housing crisis that has been intentionally created with the state and federally designed
"wildfires" arson on neighborhoods. They are expected to take effect on January 1, 2025. While they
streamline the process for building ADUs they are also reducing restrictions and standards from local
agencies which could lead to quality and structural issues as well as esthetically assaultive eyesores.
The bills also make it easier to sell ADUs separately from the primary dwelling and prohibit local
agencies from imposing local development standards that exceed state limits which can breach
preexisting contracts for homeowners in an HOA. Now back to Agenda 5.1 County initiated Code
amendment to Butte County Code chapter 20 subdivision ordinance amendment CA 23–0001 .
When this agenda was brought up on October 22, 2024 a few months ago, it was very disturbing
hearing Director Danilek of Development Services say that we have to align ourselves with the state
and that means everyone's allowed to have zero lot lines now. Not only that, but they don't have to
notify any neighbors when they're going to be building a structure right up against their fence or
someone else's structure that's close to their own fence. Considering everything else with the ADUs
and the governor saying that HOA's cannot be an exception despite pre-existing contracts under
which people bought their homes, this man seems dead set on forcing overcrowding and squalid
tenant /landlord arrangements even in the quaintest of semi rural, suburban neighborhoods full of
single family homes. He won't stop until every last place in America looks like a Third World country
or is just an absolutely miserable and unsafe place to live. Only he can live in a $9 million mansion
with lots of space around him but you and I have to be next to an overly packed backyard full of God
knows who because some neighbor wants to stack tiny homes in his back yard, all the way up against
your fence, so he can rent them out to God knows who . This is how kids and pets disappear. This is
how your house gets broken into when you are out of town over a weekend, or worse, while you're
there in your house sleeping! This has got no good written on it all over the place. This is all a recipe
for disaster. This is tyranny. Our board of supervisors should be standing up against this as well as
our HOA attorneys. keep your eyes open Butte County. Stay awake, not woke. Until next time, be
well, and God bless! https://rumble.com/v6e7rsy-revisiting-bos-10-22-24-meeting-agenda-5.1.html
