Memorandum
Date: April 21, 2026
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Mireya G. Turner, Community Development Director

Subject: An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 3153, Adopting Development Agreement 24-01 for the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Planned Development Project (Continued from April 14, 2026)
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.
However, the correct the process of approval of the Development Agreement is via Ordinance. As such, on October 7, 2025, the Board rescinded the Resolution and approved the first reading of the Ordinance (No. 3153) on October 7, 2025, by unanimous vote of the Supervisors present (Chair Crandell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. The Board approved the second reading of the Ordinance on October 21, 2025 (Exhibit A).
Since adoption of the Ordinance, the Development Agreement was not executed within the specified timeframe of 10 days after approval, and modifications from the Applicant and CDD are requested. These include date corrections and modifying the timeframe in which the agreement is executed and recorded, for consistency with the Government Code.
