Housing Element Implementation — Ceres Municipal Code Amendments
Ceres
Description
Citywide zoning code changes to implement the certified 2023-2031 Housing Element: reduced parking (1 space per unit; 0.5 for affordable), minimum densities in R-3/R-4/R-5, a ban on single-family detached homes in multifamily zones, and state-aligned rules for ADUs, shelters, and care facilities. First reading passed 3-2; adoption set for August 10.
Impact summary
Multifamily projects get easier to build — smaller lots, less parking, taller buildings allowed in R-4 — which could mean more housing units across Ceres, including affordable ones that jump the water/sewer line if capacity runs short.
