PROJECT INFORMATION:
Planning File Number: REF180015 (Inland, Accessory Dwelling Unit Regulations)
Plan Area: Inland Areas (Non-coastal)
SUMMARY:
On June 27, 2018, RMA staff presented a report to the Planning Commission on needed amendments to County regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to update the County Code in light of state legislations that went into effect in January 2017 and January 2018. At the June meeting issues were raised regarding parking, the use of modular homes/tiny homes and consistency of the ordinance with the 2010 General Plan. The 2010 General Plan contains nine Area Plans (AP)/Master Plans (MP): Cachagua AP, Carmel Valley MP, Central Salinas Valley AP, Greater Monterey Peninsula AP, Fort Ord MP; Greater Salinas AP, North County, Inland AP, South County AP and Toro AP. Staff is requesting a continuance to a date uncertain to allow completion of a consistency analysis not only with the 2010 General Plan, but also the nine Area/Master Plans contained within the 2010 General Plan.
