Memorandum
Date: October 21, 2025
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Mireya G. Turner, Community Development Director
Subject: Approve Ordinance Adopting Development Agreement 24-01 for the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Planned Development Project, as amended
Executive Summary: On August 26, 2025, the Board adopted Resolution 2025-102 to approve the Development Agreement for the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Planned Development Project. The Lake County Zoning Ordinance, Article 69.8 states that if the Board of Supervisors approves a Development Agreement, it does so via ordinance. The Development Agreement has completed the other required criteria of Article 69, including a recommendation of approval by the Planning Commission.
This item is to correct the process of approval of the Development Agreement by rescinding the Resolution and placing the draft Ordinance before the Board for its consideration and adoption.
The Board approved the first reading of the Ordinance on October 7, 2025 by unanimous vote of the Supervisors present (Chair Crandell Absent). The ordinance was amended to add the encouragement from the Board to the Developer to continue to work with the Callyomi County Water District regarding the Districts purchase of a portion of the offsite well site and the District’s operation of a well thereon pursuant to the existing term sheet between the Developer and the District. This encouragement was also added to the Development Agreement as Section 12.5.
Staff recommends offering the ordinance, for adoption.
