Date: February 12, 2026
To: The Honorable Lake County Planning Commissioners
From: Mireya G Turner, Community Development Director

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)

There is no proposed development associated with this zoning map amendment.
