Butte County Municipal Code Div. 3 Administrative Permits

This article identifies the process for obtaining an Administrative Permit. An Administrative Permit is required for uses permitted as-of-right yet subject to specific Zoning Ordinance standards. An Administrative Permit is a ministerial procedure for the County to verify that a proposed use complies with all applicable standards. An Administrative Permit also enables the County to ensure that the applicant understands and accepts these standards. See Figure 24-202-1 (Typical Process for Administrative Permit Approval).
