Zone Text Amendment Case No. ZON26-000003 (Seasonal Employee Housing Ordinance Amendment)

Ordinance No. 2026-845 is a zoning text amendment to Title 17, Chapter 17.79 (Seasonal Employee Housing) of the King City Municipal Code. The amendment removes local discretionary barriers and aligns the City’s local development standards with the California Employee Housing Act (Health and Safety Code Section 17000 et seq.) and the Fair Employee and Housing Act. It standardizes review processes to match state-mandated allowances for seasonal employee housing. The amendment does not change the applicable zoning designations or zoning densities for seasonal employee housing. The amendment is intended to align the City's regulations with State law and does not authorize a change in land use or density beyond what is already permitted under the City's existing General Plan and Zoning Code.
