PUBLIC NOTICE on Case No. LU 2021-01 King City Community Development Code and Comprehensive Plan – HB 2001 Amendments.
The city of King City will hold public hearings before the King City Planning Commission and King City Council regarding potential amendments to the King City Community Development Code (CDC) and Comprehensive Plan. The purposes of the proposed amendments are to: 1) adopt amended CDC regulations for residential housing types in the R-9, SF, AT, R-12, R-15, and R-24 districts to comply with state requirements in House Bill 2001; 2) minor amendments in the CDC to support the amendments to residential districts; and 3) minor amendments to the residential housing descriptions in the Land Use Designations and Location Criteria section of the Comprehensive Plan to coincide with the proposed CDC amendments.
The primary CDC amendments will affect the following:
- Section 16.24.030 C. Residential Use Types - amendments to residential use definitions.
- Chapters 16.84 through 16.100 (R-9, SF, AT, R-12, R-15, and R-24 districts) - combine the provisions for the city’s residential districts into one overall residential zoning chapter with a reorganized and amended set of development and design standards.
- Chapters 16.80 and 16.82 - supporting amendments for consistency with the Chapter 16.84 through 16.100 amendments.
- Chapter 16.132 Parking and Loading – minor residential parking amendments.
- Chapter 16.146 Density Calculations - amendments to clarify that density maximums do not apply to duplexes, quadplexes, triplexes, or cottage clusters, that townhouses have a maximum density of 25 dwelling units per acre, and cottage clusters have minimum density requirement of 4 dwelling units per acre and are exempt from density maximums.
- Section 16.152.020 Applicability of Provisions - remove site plan review requirements for duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and cottage cluster development from the requirements of Chapter 16.152 Site Plan Review – amendments to coincide with other proposed CDC amendments.
- Chapter 16.179 Accessory Dwelling Units – delete references to “single family dwelling.”
The approval criteria for evaluating the plan include:
- King City Comprehensive Plan; and
- Statewide planning goals.
The Planning Commission will consider public testimony regarding the draft King City CDC amendments. The purpose of the hearing will be for the Planning Commission to make a formal recommendation about the draft amendments to the King City Council.
The City Council will consider public testimony and the Planning Commission recommendation prior to making a decision regarding adoption of the King City CDC amendments.
Failure of an issue to be raised in the hearings, in person or by letter, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the approval authority an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals based on that issue.
The public hearing before the Planning Commission is scheduled for Wednesday, June 9, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. Commissioners will be calling into the meeting via conference call. Members of the public will be able to listen to the meeting on the teleconference line or watch the meeting via video link.
