Memorandum

 

 

Date:                                          February 12, 2026

 

To:                                          The Honorable Lake County Planning Commissioners

 

From:                                          Mireya G Turner, Community Development Director

                                          Mary Claybon, Senior Planner

 

Subject:                     Approval of Zoning Map Amendment PL-25-101 to bring three parcels into compliance with the Existing Industrial General Plan Designation, Kelseyville Area Plan, and Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan located at 4325, 4375, and 4425 Highland Springs Road, Lakeport, CA (APNs 008-031-20, 008-031-44, and 008-031-17)

 

Executive Summary:  The proposed zoning map amendment has been initiated by the Community Development Department for property owners Donald and Diane Deuchar and Timothy Cooper amending the zoning map for properties located at 4325, 4375, and 4425 Highland Springs Road, Lakeport (APNs 008-031-20, 008-031-44, and 008-031-17). The General Plan land use designations for the parcels were updated to Industrial “I” within the 2008 General Plan. However, the zoning map was not amended at that time, and the current zoning designation is listed as Agriculture “A”. The purpose of the proposed zoning map amendment is to correct the zoning district of the parcels to reflect the “PDC” Planned Development Commercial base zoning consistent with the 2008 General Plan “I” Industrial land use designation. There is no proposed development associated with this zoning map amendment.

 

Recommended Action: 

 

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions:

 

A.                     Determine that the proposed zoning map amendment was fully analyzed in the 2008 General Plan FEIR with the following findings:

 

1.                     The County prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2008 General Plan update.

 

2.                     Chapter 3, Land Use, of the EIR analyzes land use changes and compatibility with surrounding designations.

 

3.                     The proposed rezoning of the parcels north of the airport to  Planned Development Commercial “PDC” is consistent with what was analyzed in the EIR.

 

4.                     This zoning map amendment is based on the information contained within the EIR, in accordance with Title 14, Division 6, Article 11, Section 15162 of the California Code of Regulations and no further environmental review is required.

 

B.                     Recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt the Zoning Map Amendment PL-25-101 with the following findings:

 

1.                     The Community Development Department has proposed the zoning map amendment to correct the zoning district of the parcels to reflect the “PDC” Planned Development Commercial base zoning consistent with the 2008 General Plan “I” Industrial land use designation.

 

2.                     This zoning map amendment is consistent with the Lake County General Plan, Kelseyville Area Plan, Lake County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, and the Lake County Zoning Ordinance.

 

3.                     That the zoning map amendment is consistent with the area’s zoning designations and in accordance with the proposed “PDC” zoning district, future development would be reviewed through the Use Permit process for zoning consistency.

 

4.                     That the zoning map amendment does not constitute ‘spot zoning’ based on adjacent zoning and existing land uses in the vicinity.

 

5.                     That a zoning map amendment for the properties 4325, 4375, and 4425 Highland Springs Road, Lakeport (APNs 008-031-20, 008-031-44, and 008-031-17) from “A” Agriculture to “PDC” Planned Development Commercial will not be detrimental to the County of Lake.

 

 

 

Sample Motions:

 

Environmental determination

I move that the Planning Commission determine that the rezoning map amendment PL-25-101 will not result in any significant adverse environmental impact based on the adopted 2008 General Plan EIR and that no further environmental review is required.

 

Rezone (PL-25-101)

I move that the Planning Commission recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt the zoning map amendment PL-25-101 for properties located at 4325, 4375, and 4425 Highland Springs Road, Lakeport, CA (APNs 008-031-20, 008-031-44, and 008-031-17) based on the findings in the memorandum dated February 12, 2026.
