Planning staff updated the Board of Supervisors on July 15 about a scheduled series of planning commission sessions to advance revisions to the county's development code (Title 17) and related subdivision ordinance (Title 16).

"Articles, all the draft articles are ready and they're starting in on 4 articles," planning staff member Steve (planning department) said, describing upcoming planning commission reviews. The staff presentation said the commission will address topics that include housing provisions, potential use of park‑model trailers, and setbacks.

Staff outlined a timeline in which the planning commission will consider the articles in meetings on July 18 and July 25, with additional sessions in August; the goal is for the commission to forward a recommendation and for the Board of Supervisors to initiate the formal code‑amendment process at the end of August.

The update is the product of workshops, planning commission sessions and advisory committee consultation that planners said began last fall. Staff encouraged public participation and provided a staff report and draft articles on the county website for review.

When asked, staff said a subsequent phase will integrate Title 16 (subdivision ordinance) after the Title 17 edits advance through the review process. The board was urged to direct interested residents to the planning department for information and to consider attending planning commission meetings.

No formal action was required or taken by the Board of Supervisors on the update at the July 15 meeting.
