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. Commercial residential is proposed as a new type of development that consists of residential dwellings or a mixture of dwellings and commercial uses within certain commercial and industrial zones.
The proposed ordinance amends the zoning regulations to principally permit commercial residential development in commercial zones by adding and modifying the following sections:

2. Adds Section 313-56.5, amends Section 313-163.1.8, and amends the tables in sections 313-2.2, 313-3.1, 313-3.2, in Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title III of the County Code for the coastal areas of the County.
