Program 7: Second Unit Ordinance
In 2004, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Second Unit Ordinance, which allows second units in residential and agricultural zones. Second units provide an affordable rental option for the workforce within single-family neighborhoods.
| Objectives | By 2014, promote the Second Unit Ordinance through the Department of Regional Planning web site and brochures at public counters. |
| Policies | Policy 1.2: Mitigate the impacts of governmental regulations and policies that constrain the provision and preservation of housing for low and moderate income households and those with special needs. Policy 3.1: Promote mixed income neighborhoods and a diversity of housing types throughout the unincorporated areas to increase housing choices for all economic segments of the population. |
