El Dorado County District 2 Newsletter

The Planning and Building Department brought forward their concept of an ordinance (File #24-0003) for owner-built dwellings consistent with Limited Density Owner-Built Rural Dwellings (Title 25) of the California Code of Regulations, Housing and Community Development at the January 9th Board of Supervisors meeting. The conceptual pilot program will be geared toward Caldor Fire survivors who were without adequate insurance coverage in Grizzly Flats who anticipate prohibitive rebuilding costs. The Title 25 program will allow residents to fall and mill their own timber to be used for rebuilding, in addition to reduced size and regulatory requirements, to help avoid the higher costs associated with Title 24. We applaud the many agencies, departments, experts, volunteers and residents who collaborated to create the Title 25 program and the Board of Supervisors for the approval of the concept. We look forward to the ordinance being brought back to the Board of Supervisors for final adoption.
