Operative Text

Fort Jones, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 18.64 § 18.64.010
The purpose of these regulations is to allow the development of reduced-size dwelling units, defined as single room occupancy (SRO) units, with limited parking requirements to provide additional options for affordable housing opportunities.
These SRO regulations are considered to be in addition to the regulations of the underlying zoning districts where SRO development is permitted. SROs must meet the current local standards for building safety.

Plain English

Fort Jones Code of Ordinances ch. 18.64 § 18.64.010 establishes the foundational purpose of the city's single room occupancy (SRO) regulations, which are designed to expand affordable housing options by permitting smaller dwelling units with reduced parking requirements. These SRO rules operate alongside — not instead of — the zoning rules already in place for any district where SRO development is allowed. Any SRO development must also comply with current local building safety standards.

For Property Managers

Under ch. 18.64 § 18.64.010, operators developing or managing SRO properties in Fort Jones generally work within two overlapping regulatory frameworks: the SRO-specific rules and the underlying zoning district regulations that apply to the site. Compliant operators also ensure their buildings meet current local building safety standards, since the provision explicitly requires this alongside the reduced parking allowances. Familiarity with both the SRO chapter and the base zoning district rules is a practical starting point for any SRO project.

For Tenants

Fort Jones Code of Ordinances ch. 18.64 § 18.64.010 signals that SRO housing is intended to broaden affordable housing availability, and that any SRO unit must meet local building safety standards — a baseline protection for residents. Tenants living in or considering an SRO unit may find it useful to know that these units are governed by both the SRO regulations and the underlying zoning rules for the area. Those with questions about whether a specific SRO property meets applicable standards can reach out to local code enforcement or a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
