Change of Zone 2200063, Ordinance No. 348.5055 – Riverside County Land Use Ordinance, Agricultural Employee Housing

Change of Zone No. 2200063, under Ordinance No. 348.5055, is a proposed text amendment to the Riverside County Land Use Ordinance. The primary objective is to establish streamlined ministerial approval procedures and development standards for qualifying employee housing, specifically including Polanco Parks and agricultural employee housing. This initiative ensures consistency with State law and Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5, 17021.6, and 17021.8. The scope of work includes updating zoning classifications and definitions, approving an Agricultural Employee Housing Covenant template, and delegating the authority for covenant administration and compliance monitoring to Housing and Workforce Solutions. The project is managed by the Riverside County Planning Department and is designated as countywide in scope. It has been granted a Common Sense Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act under Article 19, Section 15061(b)(3), as it is not expected to have a significant environmental impact. Administrative oversight involves key personnel such as Project Planner Phayvanh Nanthavongdouangsy and TLMA Director John Hildebrand. Financial records indicate a filing and handling fee of 50.00 dollars associated with authorization number 771870 - 22650 - 3130800000- CZ220063.
