Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
In 1991 the Board adopted Division II of Title 20 of Mendocino County Code through Ordinance No. 3785. On October 18, 2022, the Board provided clarification that dead/hazardous vegetation removal was not “development” and directed Planning and Building Services to deprioritize all related code enforcement.
On November 1, 2022, the Board adopted Resolution No. 22-218 proclaiming a local emergency related to tree mortality.
Summary of Request:
On October 18, 2022, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors discussed dead/hazardous vegetation removal within the Coastal Zone. At that meeting the Board provided clarification that dead/hazardous vegetation removal is not considered "Development" and directed Planning and Building Services to deprioritize all related code enforcement. During the meeting it was discussed that additional clarification may be necessary at a future date on this subject.
Today’s item seeks clarification from the Board on the direction received on October 18, 2022. A memorandum is provided with this agenda item which includes information on current permit requirements for vegetation removal in the coastal zone and lists a number of questions or clarifications requested of the Board based upon the prior direction received.
