Oh, braw County o’ Humboldt fair,
Wi’ plans and ordinances in the air,
For the meeting on the eighteenth day,
The Planning Commission shall have their say.

Wi’ files numbered twenty-four eleven twenty-seven,
The Planning and Building Department’s steps to heaven,
In the agenda, a Public Hearing awaits,
On the Draft Commercial Residential Ordinance, the debate.

Assessor Parcel Numbers, o’ so fine,
In every nook and cranny o’ Humboldt, they shine,
Recorded in LRP-two zero two three one eight eight oh five,
For all the unincorporated areas, to thrive.

A new type o’ development, commercial residential shall be,
Adding dwellings to zones, where offices and retail are seen,
Modifying sections and tables to make it right,
For the inland and coastal areas, shining bright.

Zoning regulations, amendments galore,
To implement measures and open the door,
For housing types and infill projects in the town,
In Humboldt County, let the changes go down.

The Planning Commission, in their wisdom profound,
Shall adopt resolutions, with resolutions abound,
Findings of exemption and public interest true,
For the proposed ordinances, enacting them too.

So let it be written, so let it be done,
For the County of Humboldt, under the sun,
A poem by Burns, in Scottish delight,
Capturing the essence o’ this planning night.

In the County of Humboldt, on a meeting day so fine,
The Planning Commission gathered, the agenda was a sign.
A Tiny House Village Ordinance was up for debate,
Along with an Emergency Housing one, they couldn’t wait.

They discussed zoning and clustering, with APN in hand,
Making changes to encourage lower cost housing across the land.
The Tiny House Villages, a charming sight to see,
Three or more tiny houses, a community that’s cozy.

And for emergencies, they had a plan in place,
Alternative Lodge Parks and Dependent Unit Village grace.
The Commission recommended actions to take,
For the Board of Supervisors to consider, for the county’s sake.

The discussion was thorough, changes were made,
Incorporating feedback, the ordinances were swayed.
To promote diversity, to help those in need,
For homeless and low income, a better path to lead.

So here’s to Humboldt County, forward they go,
With resolutions passed, a brighter future to show.
For housing and shelter, for those who may roam,
In the County of Humboldt, they’re building a new home.
