ZCE23-0008 - Zone Change

A zone change request has been submitted to remove the Z (Accessory Dwelling Unit Exclusion) Combining District from a 2.63-acre parcel zoned Land Intensive Agriculture at 9887 Eastside Road in Healdsburg, California. The purpose of the change is to align local regulations with California Government Code § 65852.2, which prohibits jurisdictions from restricting accessory dwelling units on parcels already zoned for agricultural use. The LIA zoning district already permits ADUs, and this action simply eliminates an overlay restriction that previously prohibited them. The project is processed as a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 and Public Resources Code § 21080.17, due to its minor nature and compliance with state law. No formal procurement structure or federal contract terms apply; the process is an administrative land-use action handled by Sonoma County Permit and Resource Management. The applicant, Sandra Velasco Jordan, filed the request along with associated environmental documentation, including a Notice of Exemption and a CDFW No Effect Determination. Administrative fees totaling over $4,000 were paid, though no contract line items or pricing structure exists because this is not a service or supply procurement. The approval date was October 14, 2025, with public notice posted from October 17 to November 17, 2025. Performance occurs entirely within Healdsburg at the parcel address, and acceptance is administered by Sonoma County’s Permit and Resource Management Department in Santa Rosa. No contractual obligations, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or performance metrics are applicable, as this is a zoning adjustment governed by state land use and environmental law, not federal acquisition regulations. No contract clauses, representations, certifications, or federal compliance requirements are involved, and all activities are conducted as a local government land-use proceeding with no federal contracting elements.
