Sonoma County Unincorporated
City Zoning Code

Article 54.

S Study District.

Sec. 26-54-005.- Purpose.

Purpose: to permit the conduct of studies and hearings by the planning commission and board of supervisors of the county with a view to the adoption of a zoning ordinance, or amendment or addition thereto, by increasing control over uses during the period necessary for such studies and hearings in order to prevent the establishment of uses which will not be in harmony with the ordinance which may be adopted at the conclusion of such studies and hearings. To that end, S district regulations shall be deemed to be combining in nature, supplementary and in addition to all other zoning regulations which may be applicable to lands when they are placed within an S district. At such time as such studies and hearings have been concluded by the adoption of the zoning ordinance contemplated at the time the S district classification became applicable to the land, such S district classification shall cease to be applicable to the lands embraced within the zoning change effected by the ordinance. Ordinances imposing S district provisions shall have no further force and effect after the expiration of the time limits imposed by Section 65858 of the Government Code of the state or any successor thereto (not more than two (2) years).

(Ord. No. 4643, 1993.)

(c)
