Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On March 13, 2018, the Board adopted Ordinance 4404, Amending Chapter 18.23, Limited Density Rural Dwellings, of the Mendocino County Code.                     

 

Summary of Request: 

Pursuant to Chapter 18.23.250, adopted in 2018, the maximum size for a Class K residential structure in the County is 2,000 square feet.  Staff has received questions from property owners who desire to build Class K structures greater than this not to exceed square footage.  As part of the public input for and drafting of our 2019-2027 Housing Element, a primary focus is to identify impediments to housing production.  Staff believes that this square footage limitation for Class K residential structures may be limiting housing production in the County.  We recommend that the Board direct staff to amend Chapter 18.23.250 and remove the limitation on the size of Class K residential structures.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Provide Direction to Staff.
