​Title 130 Zoning Ordinance Updates

Since adoption of the Zoning Ordinance Update (ZOU) in December 2015, Planning staff identified a list of minor amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and limited, parcel-specific corrections to the adopted Zoning Map (Project File No. OR 17-0001) to correct documented mapping errors, correct typographical/grammatical/formatting errors, clarify language, correct inaccurate/obsolete code and document references, and consolidate/renumber adopted zoning regulations not included in the 2015 ZOU.  Several major amendments were also identified and are proposed to be considered by the Board of Supervisors (Board) as part of a separate update effort (Project File No. OR 17-0002). 

On August 14, 2018, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Title 130 Zoning Ordinance minor amendment (Ordinance No. 5090) and a separate rezone ordinance
(Ordinance No. 5088) to correct 11 parcel-specific errors on the adopted Zoning Map. 

The Title 130 Zoning Ordinance minor amendment became effective September 13, 2018.   The adopted Zoning Ordinance minor amendments have not yet been codified (incorporated into Title 130 of the El Dorado County Code of Ordinances on the Municode website).   However, a pdf of the amended Zoning Ordinance is available here. 

If you have questions about the Title 130 Zoning Ordinance minor amendment, please contact Planning Services at (530) 621-5355.
