Chico planning use permits

1,621 use permits in the city's planning records, from 1989 on. 38 dated in the last five years (2022–2026).

A use permit lets a property be used for something its zoning does not allow outright, like a bar, a daycare or homes in a commercial zone. This is the city planning department's own list, newest first.
