Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors adopted a Local Coastal Program (LCP) as a Coastal Element of the General Plan on November 5, 1985, which was subsequently certified by the California Coastal Commission on November 20, 1985. In 1991, the Board adopted Division II of Title 20 of Mendocino County Code through Ordinance No. 3785. On October 2, 2018, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance amending the County Inland Zoning Code (Title 20-Division I of the Mendocino County Code) to update regulations for accessory dwelling units. At that time, the Board directed staff to prepare an amendment to the Local Coastal Program to establish regulations for accessory dwelling units in the coastal zone of Mendocino County.
On November 5, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution No. 19-378 authorizing submittal of a Local Coastal Program Amendment to the California Coastal Commission, Consisting of an Amendment to the Coastal Element of the Mendocino County General Plan (GP_2018-0003) and an Amendment of the Mendocino County Coastal Zoning Code (Title 20 - Division II of the Mendocino County Code)(OA_2018-0009) to establish regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units in the Coastal Zone of Mendocino County.
Summary of Request:
On May 21, 2021, the County received Commission staff's final "suggested modifications" to the LCP Amendment. This report is brought to the Board to provide a status update and to seek direction regarding the County's response to proposed suggested modifications in advance of the Commission hearing on the LCP Amendment which will be held in either July or August 2021. While many areas of disagreement between the County and Coastal Commission staff were resolved over the course of the past year and a half, substantive issues remain. The most substantive suggested modifications recommended by Coastal Commission staff are:
(1) Prohibiting transient habitation in both primary residences and ADUs/JADUs. The proposed LCP Amendment prohibited transient habitation in ADUs and JADUs, but not in the primary residence.
(2) Establishing a 50' setback requirement for ADUs on lands with resource zoning designations (AG, RL, FL, TPZ) that may be eligible for a Ministerial Coastal Development Permit. The proposed LCP Amendment established a 150' setback requirement.
As outlined in the attached Memorandum to the Board, staff seeks direction from the Board on these suggested modifications.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide alternate direction.
