PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
Ordinance No. 3343 was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 1981, establishing Chapter 18.23 of the Mendocino County Code, Regulations for Limited Density Rural Dwelling, commonly known as the Class K Ordinance. On January 24, 2017, the Board of Supervisors referred this ordinance to committee for review.
SUMMARY OF REFERRAL:
Staff has been working on the requested revisions to the Class K Ordinance which incorporates some of the language and process from Marin County's, Limited Density Owner Built Rural Dwellings "Class K" Ordinance.
Types of items to be incorporated into the new Class K Ordnance will be language about structure size limitations of 2,000 square feet, a parcel size requirement increase to 5 acres, wild land urban interface and energy requirements, deed restrictions recorded on Class K for a minimum of 3 years, use of composting toilets for parcels 10 acres or larger (septic systems will still be required), straw bale construction, work/living quarters and the minimum number of inspections.
Staff will continue revisions to the ordinance, working with department staff as well as County Counsel and input from other jurisdictions, in an effort to have a draft document available for the June meeting.
