Record Number PLN-2022-17866 (filed 08/25/2022)
Assessor’s Parcel Number: 000-000-000
Project area: Countywide
The Humboldt County Planning Commission will consider updates to the inland and coastal zoning codes and the General Plan and Local Coastal Program to conform to state housing law changes regarding emergency shelters codified in Government Code 65582 and 65583. By statute, cities and counties must designate at least one zone where emergency shelters are allowed by right, and may specify limited, objective standards for their development and operation. This item amends the existing Emergency Shelter code, adds Day Shelters and Low Barrier Navigation Centers to the inland ordinance; and adds for the first time a definition and use types for emergency shelters in the Coastal Zone.
Recommendation
Based on evidence in the staff report and public testimony, make all the required findings and adopt the Resolution recommending that the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors find that the proposed amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15269(c), and Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, Public Resources Code 21080.5 and 21080.9, and to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15269(c), and 15061(b)(3), and adopt the proposed amendments to the Inland Zoning Regulations and General Plan, and approve the amendments to the Coastal Zoning Regulations (as may be modified by the Planning Commission).
