Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On January 27, 2020, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) as part of the Local Government Planning Support Grants Program also referred to by HCD as the Local Early Action Planning Grants Programs or LEAP. The Board of Supervisors by way of Resolution No. 20-076 authorized the Disaster Recovery Finance Director to apply for a grant in the amount of $150,000 on behalf of Planning and Building Services to address the update of the Zoning Ordinance and UVAP implementation.
On September 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved contract BOS 21-167; Item 4(r). On June 20, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved amendment BOS 21-167-A1; Item 3(w).
Summary of Request:
The LEAP grant provides for approximately 76% of the cost of the update to the Inland Zoning Ordinance and the Division of Land Regulations, with the remaining 24% to be borne by the Department of Planning and Building Services. The current ordinances are out of date and this update is part of the required General Plan implementation process of the 2009 General Plan. The main purpose of the LEAP grant is to explore ways to address housing, barriers to housing, and the implementation of the recent changes in State law. One of the areas that the update will focus on is the County’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, which was adopted in 2009 and has not been successful in the production of affordable housing in Mendocino County, as well as looking at other creative housing approaches in the Zoning Ordinance. It should be noted that this update only addresses the Inland Zoning Ordinance (Title 20, Division I) and will not affect the Coastal Zoning Ordinance (Title 20, Division II) due to the requirement for an LCP amendment and the need to update the LCP prior to embarking on a zoning ordinance update in the Coastal Zone.
