4.2 ZC 16-01 – Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone: Consider and make a
recommendation to City Council regarding the request by the City of Placerville to
amend the Placerville City Code, Title 10, Chapter 5: Zone Regulations, adding Section
24: HO, Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone. Location: None. The request under
consideration would create the proposed HO Overlay Zone provisions in the Zoning
Ordinance, but would not apply to any specific sites. Rezoning of individual sites
would occur in the future after public hearings before the Planning Commission and
City Council.
City Planner Painter presented staff’s report, supplemented by Director Rivas. Public
comment was received from Michael Drobesh and Kirk Smith.
Following Commission discussion, Chair Wolfe moved to recommend to City Council
that City Council: A) Find that ZC 2016-01 is exempt from CEQA per Section
15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the general rule, in that it can be seen with
certainty that the proposed amendment would have no potential impact on the
environment, as no lands are to be designated HO Overlay on the City of Placerville
Zoning Map with this action. B) Adopt ZC 2016-01 that would amend the Placerville
Zoning Ordinance (Title 10), Chapter 5, adding Section 24: HO, HOUSING
OPPORTUNITY OVERLAY ZONE. Member Lowry seconded the motion. Motion
passed 5-0.
5. MATTERS FROM PLANNING COMMISSIONERS:
Member Frenn addressed the Commission regarding the keeping of chickens within the City,
and to announce the upcoming Placerville Bell Tower Brewfest. Chair Wolfe addressed the
Commission regarding the submittal of site plans by licensed professionals.
6. MATTERS FROM STAFF

Guide Update scheduled for City Council adoption at their June 28, 2016 meeting.
