Amendment to Inland and Coastal Zoning Regulations — Employee Housing (Sections 313-47.3 and 314-47.3)
Humboldt County
Description
A zoning code update required by state law to let employee housing for five or more workers be built in more zones. Small-scale housing is treated like a single-family home; large-scale like an agricultural use.
Impact summary
Employers on agricultural and other land can now house workers with far less permitting friction, and most such housing is exempt from CEQA review.
