Humboldt County’s Planning Commission is scheduled to take up a public workshop on Aug. 20 for a draft inland low-impact camping area ordinance that would allow small-scale camping on private rural lands in unincorporated parts of the county.
According to the agenda, the item is a workshop rather than a public hearing. Staff is set to present the draft, hear public comment, deliberate, and give Planning and Building staff guidance on any desired amendments before the ordinance returns for formal action.
The agenda says the draft ordinance was written to align with the minimum requirements of Assembly Bill 518. The workshop is tied to record number LRP-2025-19172.
No draft ordinance text was included in the agenda materials available for this report, and the packet does not describe specific standards such as parcel size, setbacks, screening, sanitation or enforcement rules. The agenda also does not show commissioner reaction, proposed amendments or a vote.
The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Board of Supervisors Chambers, 825 Fifth St. in Eureka.
