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 one-bedroom; and 2) 960 SF two-bedroom. Currently available to all residents. The City prepared and adopted an amendment to the Inland and Coastal Land Use Codes to revise the City’s ADU/JADU ordinances to comply with required updates from State law. The revised amendments were prepared in 2023, recommended by Planning Commission and adopted by City Council in 2024. Subsequent revisions were made in late 2024 to comply with another round of new State laws and comments from the Coastal Commission.The ILUDC ordinance is anticipated to be adopted by City Council in March 2025. A revised LCP amendment will be submitted to the Coastal Commission in early 2025 for certification.
