The commission is set to determine general plan consistency and determine whether environmental review is necessary for the conveyance of two properties.
The first is 0.120 acres located at 16564 Fourth Ave. which is being donated to the city by the only surviving owner who is part of Crown Holding Co., according to the staff report from City Manager Alan Flora. The city intends to include the property in its new Homestead property, in which it will be used for residential development.
The second property is 16.28 acres of county-owned property located at 15837 18th Ave.
The property is part of a proposed land swap between the county of Lake and the state of California. The county will receive the state-owned Lakeport Armory, which it intends to use for the new headquarters for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
In turn, Flora said the state will use the 18th Avenue property to facilitate the “City of Clearlake Affordable Housing and Economic Development Project.”
“This mixed-use development would potentially include multilevel income housing, recreational/open space areas, and commercial retail/medical offices (but will ultimately go through its own entitlement process),” Flora said in his report.
Also on the agenda is the consideration of appointments to fill the vacant positions on the Zoning Code Update Ad Hoc and Burns Valley Park Committees.
The commission’s members are Chair Kathryn Davis, Vice Chair Robert Coker and commissioners Lisa Wilson, Erin McCarrick and Fawn Williams.
