Housing Updates

On July 24, 2025, the Planning Commission will consider establishing a Regional Housing Incentive Program, a voluntary program that would provide builders simpler access —and likely lower participation cost— to development incentives offered similarly through the State Density Bonus Program if they choose to provide on-site affordable housing units or contribute to the Regional Housing Fund. 

On June 26, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt updated regulations related to multi-family dwelling development.

On June 3, 2025, the Board of Supervisors adopted updated regulations relating to accessory dwellings, urban dwellings and urban lot splits.  Click on the links below for more information: 

• Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's)
• Urban Dwellings
• Urban Lot Splits

More information and draft ordinances are available on the 2020-2028 Housing Element Implementation project website.
