17.66.010 - Purpose.#TPZ

The TPZ timber production zoning district classification is intended to encourage and permit management, production, and harvest of timberlands; to provide for the processing of raw materials resulting from such activity; to protect and insure continuous timber production in support of a major industry in the county; and to allow all lands subject to timber production zoning to be valued for property taxation, in general, on the basis of its use for growing and harvesting timber only. This district is consistent with and is intended to implement the policies of the timberlands category of the timberlands element of the county general plan.

B. Management for watershed, fire and erosion control;

C. Management for fish and wildlife habitat, including hunting and fishing subject to landowner's restrictions;

E. Grazing and management for grazing;

F. Dwellings or mobile homes existing on parcels, prior to being zoned "TPZ," timber production zoning district;

G. Buildings and structures other than residential which are incidental and accessory to the growing and harvesting of timber and above compatible uses.

(Ord. 1644 §1(part), 1995; Ord. 1228 §2(Ch. 45, Art. 2), 1983)

The campground facilities shall not include clubhouses, permanent recreational improvements (tennis courts, swimming pools, etc.) or any permanent occupancy structure of any type;

17.66.040 - Minimum lot size requirements.#

Minimum lot size requirements in a TPZ district shall be as follows:

A. No individual ownership parcel of land less than twenty acres may be included in a TPZ district after March 1, 1978, and such parcels must be capable of growing an average volume of wood fiber as determined by the county assessor of at least fifteen cubic feet per acre.§

B. A TPZ, timber production zoning district must consist of contiguous parcels; "contiguous" meaning two or more parcels of land that are adjoining or neighboring or are sufficiently near to each as determined by the board of supervisors that they are manageable as a single forest unit.

C. Parcels zoned as TPZ, timber production zoning district may not be divided into parcels less than one hundred sixty acres unless owners of resulting parcels submit a joint timber management plan prepared by or approved as to content by a registered professional forester.§

17.66.050 - Effective period of district.#

The TPZ, timber production zoning district, where established upon any lands, shall remain in effect for a period of ten years therefrom and shall be automatically renewed on the first day of January of each year for an additional one-year period unless written notice of nonrenewal is made by either the landowner or county and served upon the other party in advance of the annual renewal date. Unless such written notice is served by the landowner at least ninety days prior to the renewal date or by the county at least ninety days prior to the renewal date, the classification shall be considered renewed.§

(Ord. 1683 §2(part), 1997)


17.66.040 - Criteria for inclusion in TPZ district.#

D. Recently acquired land may be added to an existing TPZ, timber production zoning district, if addition is under same ownership regardless of parcel size and capable of growing fifteen cubic feet per acre of wood fiber.

E. Parcels eligible for inclusion in a new TPZ zone shall meet the following criteria:

  1. A map shall be prepared showing the legal description or the assessor's parcel number of the property desired to be zoned;

  2. A plan for forest management must be prepared or approved as to content for the property by a registered professional forester. Such plan shall provide for the eventual harvest of timber within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the preparer of the plan;

  3. The parcel shall currently meet the timber stocking standards set forth in Section 4561 of the Public Resources Code and the forest practice rules adopted by the State Board of Forestry for the district in which the parcel is located, or the owner must sign an agreement with the board to meet such stocking standards and forest practice rules by the fifth anniversary of the signing of such agreement.§ If the parcel is subsequently zoned as timberland preserve, then failure to meet such stocking standards and forest practice rules within this time period provides the board with a ground for rezoning of the parcel;

  4. The land area concerned shall be in the ownership of one person, as defined in Section 38106 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and shall be composed of single or contiguous parcels of a minimum acreage as follows:

Classification Soil-Veg Site Class Acres

II 4 60
III 3 80
IV and V 2 and 1 160
  1. The land shall be pine mixed conifer region site V quality class or higher.§

F. The minimum lot sizes required in a TPZ zone are:

  1. Front yard, one hundred feet;
  2. Side yards, fifty feet;
  3. Rear yards, one hundred feet.

In the case of uses in the TPZ, timber production zoning district requiring a use permit, the above yard structures may be adjusted by the planning commission.§

(Ord. 1683 §2(part), 1997; Ord. 1228 §2(Ch. 45, Art. 4), 1983)


17.66.050 - Effective period of district.#

The TPZ, timber production zoning district, where established upon any lands, shall remain in effect for a period of ten years therefrom and shall be automatically renewed on the first day of January of each year for an additional one-year period unless written notice of nonrenewal is made by either the landowner or county and served upon the other party in advance of the annual renewal date. Unless such written notice is served by the landowner at least ninety days prior to the renewal date or by the county at least ninety days prior to the renewal date, the classification shall be considered renewed.
