Intermodal Shipping Containers Ordinance

On April 23, 2024, the Shasta County Board of Supervisor’s adopted Ordinance 2024-02 to amend the zoning plan to allow the permanent placement of Intermodal Shipping Containers that are repurposed as building or structures within the unincorporated area of Shasta County. Prior to the adoption of the ordinance intermodal shipping containers were only allowed temporarily or within specific zone districts if a building permit or agricultural exemption were obtained. The amended ordinance sets forth development standards including but not limited to location requirements, maintenance, allowable size, and permitting requirements.  The links below provide additional information regarding intermodal shipping containers and complying with both Planning and Building requirements of the ordinance.
