Housing Input

[Aug 7, 8]

The County of Mendocino is starting the process of updating its Housing Element and, as a result, will be providing several opportunities for County residents to participate in the process. 

Placeworks, a planning, design and environmental consulting firm with offices throughout California will be preparing the Housing Element Update with input from County residents and other interested individuals and, along with County Planning staff, will provide details to the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors at a regular meeting in December of this year. It is hoped that the County can have the updating process completed by this same month.

Two workshops have been scheduled for County residents to provide input, ideas and comments on the proposed goals and policies in the Housing Element. The dates and times for these meetings are below:

August 7, 2019 starting at 6:00 p.m.

Fort Bragg: Fort Bragg Veteran’s Hall 

360 Harrison Street, Fort Bragg

August 8, 2019 starting at 6:00 p.m.

Willits: Willits Veteran’s Hall 

189 North Main Street, Willits

If you are unable to attend either of these meetings, comments may be submitted to the Planning and Building Services general email at pbs@mendocinocounty.org. 

The Housing Element is intended to address changing county wide community housing needs. As such, this requires regular updating of this document by the local government entity. Additionally, the Housing Element contains an overview of the housing needs in the unincorporated area of Mendocino County. The Element includes an analysis of both the constraints that may impact housing development as well as the resources available to facilitate the Element’s intended goals and policies.

For more information about the Housing Element Update process please contact Mendocino County Planning and Building Services at pbs@mendocinocounty.org or contact Keith Gronendyke at (707) 234-6650.
