Amendments to the Inland Zoning AND Building Regulations and Local Coastal Program
[Six Land Use Plans and Coastal Zoning Regulations]
This proposal contains two parts. First, the text amendments to the Inland Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance consist of non-controversial corrections and text changes to the zoning ordinance that was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on September 1, 2020. The proposed changes clarify ADU and junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) size and height limits, and clean up and amend zoning tables. These amendments also modify the recently approved Building Regulations to allow for an ADU built under alternative owner-builder regulations to be permitted concurrently with a primary AOB residence, notwithstanding the ‘one permit every two year’ restriction. The complete amendments can be found in Attachment 1.
The second part proposes amendments to the six Coastal Land Use Plans (the Humboldt Bay Area Plan, North Coast Area Plan, South Coast Area Plan, Trinidad Area Plan, McKinleyville Area Plan, and Eel | | |
