Draft Commercial Residential Ordinance
Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN) 000-000-000

All the unincorporated areas of Humboldt County.
The Commercial Residential Ordinance is to implement and expand upon Senate Bill 6 (SB 6), which allows for residential development in zones where office, parking, or retail uses are permitted. Based upon the County's zoning regulations, various commercial and industrial zoning designations may qualify.
