Humboldt County supervisors unanimously approved a zone reclassification for about 750 acres in the Rio del Ferndale/Ferndale area, changing the land to Timberland Production Zone under PLN-2025-19421.
The agenda packet identified the hearing as a request to rezone parcels on APNs 102-101-001, 106-161-011, 106-0161-012 and 106-171-003 from Agriculture Exclusive with a 160-acre minimum parcel size and Unclassified zoning to Timberland Production Zone. The board’s final agenda said supervisors were being asked to adopt a resolution and ordinance, then direct the clerk to execute the certification of rezone and publish the ordinance summary.
In the meeting summary, county staff said the rezone was supported by both the Planning Commission and the Forestry Review Committee and would reduce annual property-tax revenue by about $3,200. The application was identified as the Dennis Grandy/Price Creek Ranch proposal.
The agenda also framed the item as a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors, part of a broader Sept. 1 meeting that included consent actions and other land-use and administrative items. The supporting materials reviewed for this story do not include the full ordinance text or a parcel map, so the report is limited to the acreage, zoning change, and fiscal effect stated in the county materials.
