Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

Chapter 18.23, Limited Density Rural Dwellings, was added to the County Code in 1981 by Ordinance No. 3343 and subsequently amended in 1984 by Ordinance No. 3491 and in 1992 by Ordinance No. 3828. On January 24, 2017, the Board of Supervisors referred the issue of possible amendments to the Public Health, Safety and Resources Committee. The Public Health, Safety and Resources Committee reviewed Chapter 18.23 in meetings on May 8, 2017, September 25, 2017, and December 11, 2017. The Board adopted Ordinance 4404 on March 13, 2018. On October 1, 2019, the Board provided direction to staff regarding an amendment to MCC Chapter 18.23 to remove the square foot maximum restriction for limited density rural dwellings with sprinklers. On July 11, 2023, the Board directed staff to revise the proposed ordinance to eliminate changes related to requiring sprinklers for larger homes and to simply remove the 2,000 square foot size restriction that had been established in 2018. On August 29th, 2023, the Introduction and Waive first reading of the Ordinance took place.                      

 

Summary of Request: 

To address the direction received from the Board on July 11, 2023, Planning and Building Services has drafted a proposed ordinance making amendments to MCC section 18.23.250 to remove the two thousand (2,000) square foot size restriction for limited density rural dwellings. Please see the attached memorandum for additional information.
