Titlow Hill General Plan Amendment, Zone Reclassification, and Subdivision Application

closed

The project consists of an amendment to the Humboldt County General Plan, a zone reclassification, and a subdivision application. The County proposes to modify the Humboldt County General Plan land use designation for parcels in the project site designated as AG and T to RA40 (Residential Agricultural with a 40-acre per unit density). Parcels designated as RA20 would retain that land use designation. One parcel designated as RA160 would be designated as RA40. The amount of land designated AG and proposed to be changed to RA40 is approximately 5,192 acres. The project site includes RA20, RA40, and RA160 lands. Under the County’s 2017 General Plan, RA lands are intended to provide opportunity for rural homesteads. These rural homesteads are distinguished from agricultural and forest lands because residential development is recognized as the primary use. The proposed RA40 land use designation allows one dwelling unit per 40 acres and unlimited accessory structures. Allowable uses under the RA40 designation include single-family residences, second residential units, guest houses, planned developments, residential accessory uses, cottage industry, bed and breakfast inns, community assembly, neighborhood commercial, non-commercial recreation, general agriculture, intensive agriculture, stables and kennels, timber production, fish and wildlife management, essential services, and similar compatible uses.
