Participation In Person And On Zoom
Press Release From The County Of Humboldt- If you are interested in tiny house villages and emergency housing villages in Humboldt County, consider attending a Tiny House Villages & Emergency Housing Villages Workshop to share your input with the Humboldt County Planning Commission on Thursday, April 18.
Currently, multiple small residential units on a single parcel are not recognized in the county’s zoning regulations, so an ordinance is needed to allow tiny house villages and emergency villages in unincorporated Humboldt County.
An ordinance is being prepared by the Humboldt County Planning & Building Department to allow the development of tiny house villages and emergency housing villages in the inland and coastal areas of unincorporated Humboldt County.
Background
The Planning & Building Department has been developing a draft Tiny House Villages and Emergency Housing Villages Ordinance in order to achieve implementation measures in the county’s 2019 Housing Element of the General Plan. A survey was conducted in 2022 in order to gain an understanding of Humboldt County resident’s views on tiny house villages. There were 655 respondents to the survey, and results of the survey are available on the county’s Tiny House Villages and Emergency Housing Villages webpage.
The draft ordinance has been reviewed by relevant agencies including CalFire, Humboldt County’s Public Works Department and the county’s Building and Environmental Health divisions. Comments received have been incorporated into the draft document.
For more information or to review the draft ordinance, please visit the county’s Tiny House Villages and Emergency Housing Villages webpage.
Tiny House Village Workshop
If you wish to participate in the process of creating this ordinance, now is the time to do so. The draft ordinance will be brought to the Planning Commission for a workshop at their regular meeting on Thursday, April 18.
Community members have the option to attend on Zoom or in person at the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors Chamber, located at 825 Fifth St. in Eureka. The Planning Commission meeting will start at 6 p.m. and the agenda, which includes the written staff report can be found on the county’s meeting agenda webpage.
Following the workshop, the ordinance will enter the hearing stage where the Planning Commission will make their recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, who will consider those recommendations and make a decision regarding the proposed ordinance. It is currently anticipated that this process will conclude by October. For more information, please visit the county’s Tiny House Villages and Emergency Housing Villages webpage.
