CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION August 22, 2019
DATE: UP19-0003 (Amendment to UP17-0009)
PERMIT NO. 040-600-081
ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO. Pursuant to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance of the County of Butte and the special conditions set
forth below: Franklin Construction, Inc. is hereby granted a Conditional Use Permit to establish a stationary
hot mix asphalt batch plant, construction equipment storage, maintenance and repair facility, and a concrete
and asphalt rubble, dirt and aggregate recycling facility, on 50.59 acres situated within the HI-RW zone,
and located along the north side of Neal Road, ½ mile east of the intersection of State Highway 99 and Neal
Road, within assessor’s parcel number APN: 040-600-081.
The proposed facility will include the construction of a new 6,600 square foot metal building that would be
used for equipment repair and maintenance activities of company-owned equipment. The maintenance
building will be a 60’ x 111’ pre-engineered building that consists of a large shop area, two restrooms, two
offices, a breakroom, parts room and tool room. Company-owned heavy equipment and vehicles will be
stored outdoors in an uncovered area approximately 200’ x 250’ (1.14 acres) in size, situated directly north
of the proposed maintenance building. The proposed recycling facility will utilize approximately 9 acres of
the site, in five (5) separate processing and stockpile areas. The recycling facility includes importing and
temporary stockpiling of dirt, aggregate, concrete and asphalt rubble materials, which will ultimately be
processed and exported by truck to off-site construction projects. Processing of materials will involve
combinations of screening, crushing, and sorting.
During winter (November-February) there will be minimal activities on the property. A mobile crusher will
be brought to the site approximately 1 to 2 times a year to process concrete/asphalt rubble. Crushing
activities will be limited to weekdays (Monday-Friday) between the hours of 7:00 am and 4:00 pm. The
proposed batch plant requires the flexibility to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, typical
operating hours for the plant will be Monday through Friday 6:00 am to 5:00 pm, with only occasional
weekend and nighttime operations to occur, depending on the needs of the specific construction project.
Peak operations typically occur between June and October.
I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS:

Fugitive Dust
Construction activities can generate fugitive dust that can be a nuisance to local residents and businesses
near a construction site. Dust complaints could result in a violation of the District’s “Nuisance” and

required throughout the duration of the construction activities:
• Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible.
• Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from
leaving the site. An adequate water supply source must be identified. Increased watering frequency
would be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non-potable) water should
be used whenever possible.
• All dirt stockpile areas should be sprayed daily as needed, covered, or a District approved
alternative method will be used.
• Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved project revegetation and landscape
plans should be implemented as soon as possible following completion of any soil disturbing
activities.
• Exposed ground areas that will be reworked at dates greater than one month after initial grading
should be sown with a fast-germinating non-invasive grass seed and watered until vegetation is
established.
Page 4 of 11
• All disturbed soil areas not subject to re-vegetation should be stabilized using approved chemical
soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the Butte County Air Quality
Management District.
• All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved should be completed as soon as possible. In
addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil
binders are used.
• Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the
construction site.
• All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials are to be covered or should maintain at
least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in
accordance with local regulations.
• Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets, or wash off trucks
and equipment leaving the site.
• Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads.
Water sweepers with reclaimed water should be used where feasible.
• Post a sign in prominent location visible to the public with the telephone numbers of the contractor
and the Butte County Air Quality Management District - (530) 332-9400 for any questions or
concerns about dust from the project.
All fugitive dust mitigation measures required should be shown on grading and building plans. In
addition, the contractor or builder should designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control
program and to order increased watering, as necessary, to prevent transport of dust offsite. Their duties
shall include holidays and weekend period when work may not be in progress. The name and telephone
number of such persons shall be provided to the District prior to land use clearance for construction
activity and finished grading of the area.
