Mendocino County is hosting the final in a series of community meetings designed to collect input on an ordinance that would allow “low intensity camping” in Ukiah on Wednesday.
In a press release, county officials explained that the “Mendocino County Department of Planning & Building Services will host five stakeholder meetings to discuss an ordinance amendment to allow Low Intensity Camping, and its impact on local communities, real estate, and tourism. The intent of the meetings is to provide a brief outline of the amendment process and to solicit input from community stakeholders.”
In a report prepared for the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors earlier this year, Planning and Building Services staff explain that they “sought preliminary direction from the Mendocino County Planning Commission on Nov. 7, 2024 and (are) now seeking preliminary direction from the Board of Supervisors before proceeding with any stakeholder/public meetings. During the review of the Inland Zoning Code Update, the Commission recommended against adopting regulations for this use type (and the) board did not adopt regulations for this use type as part of the Inland Zoning Code Update, but directed staff to come back with a subsequent ordinance amendment to regulate this use type.”
Comments and concerns expressed by the commission included:
Traffic/transportation impacts to local roads and state highways. Notification to neighbors if located on a private road. Impact on fire insurance policies both where campsite is located and adjacent landowners. Fire risk. Nuisance to neighbors from noise such as barking dogs, car doors closing, music, generators, etc. Exclude residentially zoned properties or limit number of campsites. Ensure solid waste removal from site.The public meetings, most held this month, are for the Inland area ordinance, with the previous ones held in Fort Bragg, Boonville, Covelo, and Willits.
The Ukiah meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. June 18, will be held in Conference Room C at the Mendocino County Administration Center, located at 501 Low Gap Road, Ukiah. It can be attended via Zoom, with the link available on the county’s website:
