Zoning Ordinance Updates

Title 130 Zoning Ordinance Updates

On July 13, 2021, the Board of Supervisors (Board) directed staff to initiate additional amendments to the Zoning Ordinance (Title 130 of the County's Code of Ordinances) including Chapter 130.36 (Signs) and Chapter 130.39 (Oak Resources Conservation) in Article 3 and Section 130.40.130 (Communications Facilities) in Article 4. As part of this effort, the Board also directed staff to facilitate the development and adoption of community-based objective sign standards for the community of Cameron Park.

On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with the Dudek consulting firm (County Agreement for Services No. 5857(PDF, 2MB)) to assist staff with processing of the above ordinance amendments and Cameron Park sign standards, including the required environmental review for each of these components as required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

This workshop also solicited public and Commission feedback on the draft Cameron Park Sign Standards. Documents from this workshop are posted under the "Public Workshops" tab below.

On September 24, 2024, Long Range Planning held a public workshop with the Board to review prior feedback from the February 22 Planning Commission workshop and solicit additional feedback for the proposed amendments for Communications Facilities (Title 130.40.130).
