Hi Neighbors,
After a very long hearing yesterday, the Planning Commission made a recommendation to our Board of Supervisors regarding the rezone program. Our board will consider this recommendation along with alternatives and will continue to take public input at a public hearing on May 21.
—------------------------------
The Placer County Planning Commission took action on Thursday to recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve 14 sites throughout the county to be rezoned to meet state requirements for multi-family housing.
Placer County has been working for more than a year with willing property owners to participate in its Housing Element Sites Rezone program, which would change zoning of the selected sites to allow for development of multi-family housing at 20-30 units per acre. The county is charged with rezoning enough land to accommodate a minimum of 1,219 units to meet the state’s mandate.
Commissioners voted 4-3 to recommend the Board of Supervisors remove two sites (of the proposed 15) in the Dry Creek area that are currently zoned as residential/agricultural and move forward with 13 of the staff’s recommended sites in North Auburn, Bowman, Penryn, Granite Bay and Sheridan.
