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.
