The Yucca Valley Planning Commission will hold three public hearings at this week’s meeting, one of which concerns an overlay district for senior mobile home parks.
The Yucca Valley Planning Commission meeting will begin with three public hearings. The first concerns a variance request for a single-family residence at 57461 Bandera Rd.; the applicant requests to reduce the front setback line to 20 feet from the 50 feet required by the Development Code.
The second hearing concerns a proposed ordinance that would amend the Development Code to add a Senior Mobile Home Park Overlay District. In December 2023, the Town Council adopted a 45-day moratorium on the conversion of seniors-only mobile home parks to all-ages, defined in which 80% of full-time residents are age 55 or older. The moratorium has since been extended twice while town staff researched a permanent zoning solution. Four of the town’s seven mobile home parks currently meet the threshold requirements for a seniors-only park: the Country Club Mobile Estates, the Aztec Mobile Home Park, Gates of Spain Mobile Estates, and the Apache Mobile Home Park. The proposed ordinance would create an overlay district consisting of the four parks.
The third hearing concerns an ordinance that would update zoning districts and maps to reflect the current Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map from CAL FIRE, which identifies zones as “Very High, High, and Moderate.”
The Planning Commission will also receive the Land Development Update.
Tonight’s meeting is open to the public and begins at 6:00 p.m. at the Yucca Valley Community Center.
