Clustered Agricultural Housing Ordinance

Document Description: NOTE: Review Per Lead The number of new housing units that would be expected to be created under the proposed Clustered Agricultural Housing Ordinance in any given year would be small, estimated to be in the range of 10 to 25 units, based on how few owners would qualify to apply for subdivisions under the ordinance. The proposed ordinance would "sunset" after a period of four years, after which its effectiveness would be evaluated. The addition of 10 to 25 units would be within the projected growth rate for the unincorporated agricultural areas, as documented in the recently approved 2030 Yolo Countywide General Plan. The 2030 Yolo Countywide General Plan assumes an average of 70 new farm dwellings will be built in the rural area of Yolo County outside the existing towns.
