III. Background:
The General Plan 2030 Update process was initiated by
action of the Board of Supervisors, including the adoption
of
Resolution 06-085 on May 23, 2006, which created the
Butte County General Plan Citizens Advisory Committee and
set in motion a process of holding public workshops and
meetings regarding the county’s general plan. This process
has culminated in the preparation of a final draft of a new
General Plan (Butte County General Plan 2030) for
presentation to the Planning Commission and Butte County
Board of Supervisors.
General Plan 2030 is a comprehensive update of Butte
County’s general plan. When General Plan 2030 is adopted,
it will be the principal County policy document for future
conservation and development of the County. It will have a
20-year planning horizon. General Plan 2030 will be
effective countywide throughout the unincorporated areas
and may change the land use designations and allowable land
uses of real properties in the unincorporated areas of the
county.
Copies of the Draft General Plan 2030 and its accompanying
land use map and all items referenced in this notice are on
file and available for public viewing at the office of the
Butte County Development Services Department, Planning
Division, 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, California,
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or by
special arrangement. Copies are also available on the
internet at www.buttegeneralplan.net, and at all Butte
County Branch Libraries. Members of the public are
encouraged to review the Draft General Plan 2030, including the land
use map, to determine how it might affect properties in
the county.
