The Anderson City Council adopted a package of zoning ordinances Feb. 17 that city records tie to Housing Element compliance work and requests from the state Department of Housing and Community Development.
According to the council agenda and minutes, the council approved ordinances amending Chapter 17.43 on the residential density bonus, Chapter 17.18 to allow residential by-right development on designated C-1 parcels, and Chapters 17.14, 17.15, 17.16 and 17.30 to remove housing constraints and expand rules for supportive, transitional and farmworker/employee housing.
The packet says the changes were required by Housing Element programs HE 1.3, HE 2.4, HE 3.1, HE 3.2 and HE 6.2, and notes prior Planning Commission recommendations on Ordinance items tied to those amendments. The agenda also lists a separate ordinance updating Chapter 17.15 on homeless services and another adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code by reference.
The council’s public-hearing record shows no public comments were received on the zoning amendments before the votes, and the minutes indicate the measures were adopted unanimously or on 4-0 or 5-0 votes depending on the item. The full packet also shows the council later took up other business, including an audit-services request for proposals and a workers’ compensation settlement in closed session.
Because the packet is partly cut off on some ordinance details, especially the homeless-services and mixed-use text, this draft stays close to the language visible in the meeting materials and avoids adding specifics not clearly shown there.
