Commission discusses family subdivisions and possible minimum lot sizes for AR district
Summary
Commission staff proposed topics for a joint work session with the Board of Supervisors on family subdivisions and minimum lot sizes in the AR district, including consideration of a new medium‑density district; staff discussed possible minimums (initially referenced as 10 acres, then corrected to 2 acres) and recommended further drafting work in a joint session.
PC staff told commissioners that subdivision standards — including family subdivisions and minimum lot sizes in the Agricultural‑Residential (AR) district — are a topic for a joint work session with the Board of Supervisors. Staff said the commission had discussed options for a new medium‑density district between R‑1 and AR and that the group had considered minimum lot sizes during that discussion, with an initial mention of 10 acres followed by a clarification of 2 acres as a possible option.
Staff recommended a joint meeting and drafting process with the board and suggested hiring a neutral third party to facilitate the roles/responsibilities discussion; commissioners agreed the topics would likely require more than one joint meeting. The item was framed as policy direction pending formal drafting and Board decisions rather than an immediate ordinance change.
