Yuba City's Municipal Code does not prohibit drone takeoff or landing in city parks. State and federal restrictions still apply to nearby Sutter Buttes lands, state parks, and Yuba County Airport airspace.
A review of the Yuba City Municipal Code (Title 9 — Parks and Recreation) shows no chapter banning unmanned aircraft from city parks such as Sam Brannan Park, Bryant Field, or Gauche Aquatic Park. There is no posted Council resolution restricting UAS in city park space. However, California State Parks (e.g., the Sutter Buttes State Park property) prohibit UAS unless authorized by a District Superintendent's posted order under 14 CCR § 4319 (motorized equipment) and § 4322 (special-permit requirement). Flight near Yuba County Airport (KMYV) requires LAANC authorization. Pilots must still respect Cal. Penal Code § 402 (interference with first responders) at any park fire, rescue, or police incident, and § 21412 of the Public Utilities Code prohibits dropping objects from aircraft.
No Yuba City park-drone fine schedule exists. State park drone violations are an infraction under 14 CCR § 4301 punishable by up to $1,000. Cal. Penal Code § 402 (drone interference with first responders) is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail and a $2,000 fine.
