CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Updates to the city's zoning ordinances will be the main agenda topic for the Clearlake Planning Commission's meeting this week.
The Clearlake Planning Commission will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
The commission will host a public workshop on the city's zoning interpretation and procedures manual.
Gary Price, the city's contract planner, explains in his report to the commission that the city is in the process of conducting a comprehensive update to its zoning code, which he said has many conflicts and internal inconsistencies “that have caused it to be difficult to understand and administer.”
Since April, city staff has developed the zoning interpretation and procedures manual which is meant to provide a mechanism for staff to develop consistent interpretations of the code on an as-needed basis, provide consistent procedures for administering the code and provide an understanding to staff and the zoning code update team of how to best develop the new code based on the city's organizational and resource needs, according to Price.
On Tuesday the commission will review the evolving manual “to understand what interpretations and procedures have been developed” during the city's planning program since April, Price said.
He said staff appreciates any comments and suggestions the commission will have on the manual.
“Also, as the Manual evolves and grows over the next six months, staff would anticipate returning to the Commission for another workshop or study session to continue this overview of staff's work,” Price said.
The meeting is open to the public, and community input on the manual is welcome.
