LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Beginning Monday, March 11, the Lake County Community Development Department is reducing the amount of time that planners will be available for public inquires at the counter or over the phone.
Planners will be available to the public between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
All other Community Development Department functions, including Building Division and Code Enforcement activities, will remain available to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The reduction in availability of Planning Division staff to the public is being initiated in order to integrate part of the Code Enforcement program work into the Planning Division, and also to allow the existing staff to be able to expedite projects that will contribute to job creation and economic development.
Availability will be regularly evaluated based on staffing resources and increasing demand for services.
The department is located on the third floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
