Optional: This runs a macro which checks to ensure all required fields are filled out. The macro will create two files saved in the same directory this APR file is saved in. One file will be a copy of the APR with highlighted cells which require information.
The other file will be list of the problematic cells, along with a description of the nature of the error.
Optional: Save before running. This copies data on Table A2, and creates another workbook with the table split across 4 tabs, each of which can fit onto a single page for easier printing. Running this macro will remove the comments on the column headers, which contain the instructions. Do not save the APR file after running in order to preserve comments once it is reopened.
Optional: This macro identifies dates entered that occurred outside of the reporting year. RHNA credit is only given for building permits issued during the reporting year.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation Program H-1.1.1 Inventory
of Infill Sites
Maintain the inventory of vacant and
underdeveloped residentially designated land in
the City’s GIS system. Provide copies of the
inventory for public distribution on the City website.
Ongoing, as vacant sites are
developed the GIS system is
updated
and a map and list of vacant
sites is posted on the City’s
website
Updated in 2019 and revised in 2023.
Program H-1.3.1 Secondary
Dwelling Unit Design
Continue to implement the City’s
free secondary unit program to provide affordable
and aesthetically pleasing second unit designs for
the development of secondary units in Fort Bragg.
Ongoing
In 2021, the City utilized SB-2 grant funds to develop designs and engineering for two sets of construction plans for Fort Bragg's Pre-Approved ADU Program: 1) 720 SF onebedroom; and 2) 960 SF two-bedroom. Currently available to all residents. In 2022, the City began preparing for a Local Coastal Program Amendment to revise housing and ADU regulations.
Program H-1.3.2 No
Development Impact Fees
for Secondary Units
Free secondary unit program to provide affordable
and aesthetically pleasing second unit desgns. Ongoing The City currently does not charge water or sewer capacity fees for ADUs and JADUs.
Program H-1.3.3 Develop
Amnesty/Legalization
Program for Illegal Second
Units
Continue to provide a legalization program for
illegal residential units, especially second units, that includes requiring property owners to undertake
improvements to meet the requirements of the
current building code.
Ongoing
Implemented in 2015. The City charges no penatly fees or back payment for illegal units that submit a building permit to be legalized and per State Law. The City does not require correction of non-conforming issues on site and allows each nonconforming unir 5 years to gain legal status per state law.
Program H-1.3.4 Junior
Accessory Dwelling Units
Consider revising the zoning
ordinance to allow junior accessory dwelling units
(units no more than 500 SF and contained entirely
within an existing single-family structure) in singlefamily residential and multifamily zoning. The Junior Accessory units would be in addition to a second
unit, allowing up to 3 units per parcel by right.
2021-2023
Completed in 2020 and revised in 2023 to comply with changes to State Law for the Inland Land Use Code. The LCP amendement to adopt ADU ordinance into the CLUDC has been prepared and will be submitted to the Coastal Commission in early 2024 for certification.
Program H-1.3.5 Allow Tiny
Homes as Second Units
Consider revising the zoning
ordinance so that people can park mobile
residencies (residences built under the vehicle
code) as a second unit, so long as the residence
looks like a house (e.g. external siding that is
compatible with the residential neighborhood,
skirted if the wheels would otherwise be visible
from the public right of way, etc.).
2022
Received SB-2 Grant funding. Ordinance allowing Tiny Homes was adopted on April 25, 2022. The Ordinance was rewriten in 2023 to correct some problems with the orginial ordinance. A CEQA analysis was completed. The ordinance will be considered by the Planning Commisison and City Council in early 2024.
Program H-1.3.6 Alternative
Designs for Second Units
Explore options for allowing cutting edge
construction techniques for second units including
but not limited to: straw bale, rammed earth,
prefabricated second units, etc.
2023 No work completed on this program yet.
Program H-1.6.1 List of
Vacant Parcels
Continue to update the vacant parcels map and
provide information to potential developers about
