Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On June 8, 2022, the Board of Supervisors provided direction to staff on the Inland Zoning Code Update regarding potential regulations for temporary camping for profit. 

 

On September 10, 2024, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Inland Zoning Code Update. At that time the Board directed staff to bring back a separate ordinance amendment to establish regulations for a new use type that would regulate temporary camping for profit on properties subject to the Inland Zoning Code.                     

Summary of Request

This agenda item is to discuss and seek possible direction from the Board of Supervisors on establishing a new use type of Transient Habitation: Low Intensity Camping, which would allow a limited number of short-term commercial campsites on properties within the Inland areas of the County. Planning and Building Services sought preliminary direction from the Mendocino County Planning Commission (“Commission”) on November 7, 2024, and is now seeking preliminary direction form the Board of Supervisors (“Board”) before proceeding with any stakeholder/public meetings.

 

In addition to any general comments/concerns from the Board, the Department requests the Board provide direction on specific topics and questions as listed in the Memorandum for this item, to allow staff to effectively prepare a draft ordinance for consideration.

Do not provide direction.
