EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) provides additional funding for basic road maintenance and rehabilitation. One-half of the funding generated from SB1 is allocated to cities and counties with the remaining 50% being retained by the State. For FY 2018-19, Lake County is expected to receive approximately $1,800,000, which has been appropriated in the FY 2018/19 adopted budget.
Although the adopted budget reflects this revenue estimate, actual receipt of this funding is subject to the State's approval of a proposed project list that has been formally established pursuant to a Board adopted Resolution. The Resolution establishes the required project list.

The Sheriff's Department requests to declare a 24' 2001 Godfrey Sweetwater Pontoon boat, HIN#GDY2112EJ001 and trailer, HIN#4H1062829X0254844 as surplus to the needs of the County and transfer this property to the Northshore Fire Protection District. It is the intent of the Northshore Fire Protection District to refurbish the pontoon boat so that it can be used as a diving platform during diving operations.
This boat was originally donated to the County in May 2015 with a value of $8,970. A trailer was purchased at that time for $1,500 from McAtee's Marine. Due to the high cost of refurbishing this boat, it has been determined it is not cost effective for us to keep.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake County Sheriff's Office is requesting to purchase a Kenworth T370 truck. The Department's command post trailer weighs 19,200 pounds. The command post is deployed in situations of critical incidents, emergencies and at times for public events. The vehicle that is currently used to pull the command post trailer is a Ford F-450 diesel flatbed truck. The maximum tow capacity for the F-450 is 16,000 pounds, which equates to it being grossly under powered and under equipped to pull the command post. The F-450 struggles in areas of Lake County where there are steep roads and it lacks the stopping weight due to it being a smaller platform than a semi-tractor/truck. The Kenworth T370 has a maximum tow capacity of 66,000 pounds and a larger platform for better handling and control while towing the command post.
The Sheriff's Office obtained two bids; both vendors participate in the NJPA program. The Peterbilt bid was $117,796; the Kenworth bid was $79,344.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your board knows, CalFresh (also known federally as SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is a vital supplement to many of our local families, helping lift them out of poverty and bringing millions of dollars annually into our local economy.
In interest of protecting our local families, we oppose a number of the SNAP provisions in the Farm Bill (H.R. 2), and are asking for your support. We are joined by the County Welfare Director's Association (CWDA), California State Association of Counties (SCAC), and County Health Executives Association of California (CHEAC) in our opposition.
The Farm Bill policies would punish low-income families by imposing onerous and inflexible new work requirements. Many of our families are already working, and still struggling to make ends meet. Under the bill, any unforeseen change in hours due to lack of transportation, boss's scheduling choice, or simply unpredictable business hours could put the family at risk of losing benefits and subject them to a period of time during which they would be unable to reapply. The bill also offers woefully inadequate funding to operate the newly mandated Employment & Training program, working out to around just $30 per person to fund the program.
The Farm Bill would further harm low-income families by once again imposing property limits, essentially punishing families who are trying to save up to make a better life. Not only does this punish families struggling to get off of the program, but it also creates an enormous new administrative burden for our department in gathering and certifying property information for thousands of households.
The Farm Bill would also cut benefits for non-elderly households with high housing and utility costs, and require households to provide utility receipts to our department in order to receive a deduction.
Furthermore, the Farm Bill would cut funding for the local SNAP-Ed program run by our Health Department. Diverting funding to out of county sources that have little to no knowledge of our community's unique needs.
There is significant evidence to indicate any savings from these burdensome program changes would be offset by the administrative costs of implementation.
We respectfully request you authorize your chair to sign our "Defend SNAP/CalFresh" letter, addressed to our local Representatives.

Action Item
passed on consent
approved — Pass
Staff memo
Mr. Jack Long, organizer of the Clear Lake Power Boat Races proposes to host the second annual sprint boat races at Library Park June 2-3, 2018. The event requires a 45-acre area of the lake to be closed to allow the boats to make high-speed passes around a designated race course (map attached). The closure will begin at 9:00 AM Friday, June 1 and end by 6:30 PM Sunday, June 3. The area will not be closed for event cleanup and buoy removal/replacement on June 4.
The race course will be cordoned off with buoys. Two Sheriff Marine Patrol boats and volunteers with boats provided by the event organizer will patrol the perimeter of the area during the event. Mr. Long has agreed to several stipulations to assure public safety and to limit County liability associated with the event; these are described in the terms and conditions of the permit.
This event will require the Board to authorize the closure of a portion of the lake approximately 300 feet offshore from Library Park and extending up to one to the east. The Board has the authority to grant this temporary closure pursuant to Section 11.3 of Chapter 23 of the Clear Lake Shoreline Ordinance. This Ordinance allows the Board to authorize a closure if it finds that the proposed uses are appropriate but require special regulations or separation from other uses. In light of the scope of this event and the risks inherent therein, staff believes that this event meets those tests.

Zoning: "SR", Suburban Reserve District
Case #: 18-00003
II. ABATEMENT SUMMARY
On January 11, 2018, a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was prepared and then posted on the property located at: 15720 North Road, Lower Lake CA, within the Lower Lake Area Plan, and a copy mailed, certified to the property owner of record due to a substandard burnt mobile, open and outdoor storage of junk, trash and debris, and abandoned vehicles. Several complaints had been filed by area residents. The Abatement Notice provided Ms. Reinhard with 30 days to abate the property.
On February 15, 2018, Code Enforcement Officer; Michael Penhall conducted a follow up site visit to the aforementioned property, no compliance was observed and violations were still present on the property. Code Enforcement staff solicited a bid for the abatement of the substandard burnt mobile with suspected hazardous material, open and outdoor storage of junk, trash and debris on the property. On March 21, 2018 staff obtained a response from a local contractor for the abatement of the property. After contract negotiations and working out the details for the debris sampling and hazardous material disposal, the local contractor was awarded the contract for demolition and removal of the remnants of the burnt mobile home and clean-up of the property on April 12, 2018. On the same date, an abatement warrant was obtained from a Judge at the Lake County Superior Court with the awarded contractor starting the abatement soon after.
A local towing contractor was contacted and they removed the two (2) abandoned vehicles from the subject property.
On the morning of April 16, 2018, the awarded contractor contacted Code Enforcement officer Michael Penhall and notified him that the abatement would be completed later that afternoon.
On April 17, 2018 a follow up site visit was conducted by the Code Enforcement Officer confirming the contractor had completed the work.
III. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors confirm the assessment of $20,613.57 and direct staff to Record a Notice of Lien against the property. The cost of abatement services was $20,155.00. The administrative costs on this case amounted to $458.57.

II. ABATEMENT SUMMARY
On January 11, 2018, a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was prepared and then posted on the property located at: 15720 North Road, Lower Lake CA, within the Lower Lake Area Plan, and a copy mailed, certified to the property owner of record due to a substandard burnt mobile, open and outdoor storage of junk, trash and debris, and abandoned vehicles. Several complaints had been filed by area residents. The Abatement Notice provided Ms. Reinhard with 30 days to abate the property.
On February 15, 2018, Code Enforcement Officer; Michael Penhall conducted a follow up site visit to the aforementioned property, no compliance was observed and violations were still present on the property. Code Enforcement staff solicited a bid for the abatement of the substandard burnt mobile with suspected hazardous material, open and outdoor storage of junk, trash and debris on the property. On March 21, 2018 staff obtained a response from a local contractor for the abatement of the property. After contract negotiations and working out the details for the debris sampling and hazardous material disposal, the local contractor was awarded the contract for demolition and removal of the remnants of the burnt mobile home and clean-up of the property on April 12, 2018. On the same date, an abatement warrant was obtained from a Judge at the Lake County Superior Court with the awarded contractor starting the abatement soon after.
A local towing contractor was contacted and they removed the two (2) abandoned vehicles from the subject property.
On the morning of April 16, 2018, the awarded contractor contacted Code Enforcement officer Michael Penhall and notified him that the abatement would be completed later that afternoon.
On April 17, 2018 a follow up site visit was conducted by the Code Enforcement Officer confirming the contractor had completed the work.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On January 13, 2005, the Planning Commission approved a tentative subdivision map for the division of approximately 55 acres to create 12 residential lots and one remainder parcel. The approval included measures to mitigate environmental impacts related to steep topography, seismic hazards and extreme fire hazard.
A series of state initiated extensions provided automatic extensions to this tentative subdivision map for the next nine years, expiring on January 13, 2018. The applicant submitted a request for extension of the project on December 13, 2017.
On February 22, 2018, the current three-year extension request went before the Planning Commission and a recommendation for Board of Supervisor's approval passed on a 4-0 vote with one Commissioner absent.
The subject site is located within The Rivieras Area Plan. The adoption of The Rivieras Area Plan on January 9, 2007 changed the zoning from Single Family Residential (R1) with a 40,000 square foot minimum lot size, and Unclassified (U) zoning, to Rural Lands and Rural Residential zoning. The General Plan designation changed from Suburban Residential to Rural Lands and Rural Residential. The entire property contains a slope greater than 20%, and most of the site has a slope that is greater than 30%.
Some of the lots are no longer in conformance with the Lake County Zoning Ordinance and Lake County General Plan due to the General Plan amendment that resulted from the adoption of the Rivieras Area Plan, and due to the rezoning of the property. The tentative subdivision map however still qualifies to move forward as approved if this extension is granted. The State Subdivision Map Act authorizes the extension of an approved map for a period or periods not exceeding a total of six years. The Board of Supervisors approved a two-year time extension in 2006. The proposed three-year time extension is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act.
Staff recommends approval of the extension.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is seeking a three year time extension to complete the various conditions required for the tentative map. There has not been any development on the property that is inconsistent with the approved tentative subdivision map. Staff recommends that a three (3) year time extension be granted for the tentative subdivision map in order to complete the conditions necessary to record the final map.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 16, 2017 the applicant applied for an off-site sign (billboard) with two 300 square feet sign faces. On October 26, 2017, the Planning Commission denied the Use Permit and Design Review applications for the sign, proposed at 2325 E. Highway 20, Nice. A timely appeal was filed by the applicant's agent on November 2, 2017. On February 27, 2018, an appeal hearing (AB 17-06) was held and staff was directed to conduct the environmental and code review for the sign and bring it back before the Board of Supervisors for consideration. Staff recommends approval.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Applicant: Stott Outdoor Advertising
Owner: Larry and Frances Montgomery
Location: 2325 E. Highway 20, Nice, CA
A.P.N.: 004-055-37
Parcel Size: 8200 square feet
General Plan: Service Commercial
Zoning: "C3-DR-SC" Service Commercial-Design Review-Scenic Combining.
III. PROJECT SETTING
Existing Uses and Improvements: The property is currently vacant and unimproved.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: The site is located southeast of the Nice Sentry Market. The properties to the immediate southeast, south and southwest are vacant and are zoned C3 Service Commercial. The property across Highway 20 is also vacant and is zoned PDC Planned Development Commercial.
Topography: The parcel is flat.
Soils: According to the soil survey of Lake County, prepared by the U.S.D.A, The parcel contains soil type 244, Weppo Variant clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slope. Surface runoff of this soil is slow and hazard of erosion is slight. This soil type has minimal shrink-swell potential and is not prone to erosion.
Water Supply: Nice Water District
Sewage Disposal: Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN)
Fire Protection: Northshore Fire Protection District
Vegetation: Minor introduced landscaping (grass, several deciduous trees)
IV. PROJECT ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing an 'off site' sign (billboard) on the subject site. The sign as proposed is 22 feet tall measured from grade to the top of the sign; 300 square feet per sign face, and is proposed to have downcast lighting from four 78 watt light fixtures mounted on the top of the sign. The sign is proposed to be set back 10' from the Highway 20 right of way boundary in the southeastern corner of the subject site.
General Plan Conformance
The Lake County General Plan designates the site as 'Service Commercial', which is intended for high intensity commercial development. The sign is not inconsistent with high intensity commercial development and is therefore allowed under the Service Commercial designation for the property.
The following General Plan policies apply to this project:
Policy LU-5.4 Compatibility with Surrounding Land Use. The County shall ensure that appropriate industrial / heavy commercial sites will not result in harmful impacts to adjacent land uses. In addition, sites should be designed to prevent the intrusion of incompatible uses into industrial areas. Infilling of existing industrial areas is highly desirable where feasible.
The sign will be located on a vacant lot. Across Highway 20 is land zoned PDC, similar to the C3 zone in terms of permitted uses.
Policy LU-7.4 Contextual and Compatible Design The County shall ensure that new development respects Lake County's heritage by requiring that development respond to its context, be compatible with the traditions and character of each community, and develop in an orderly fashion which is compatible with the scale of surrounding structures.
There is already one billboard in the vicinity (see aerial photo below). The County anticipates that future high intensity development will occur on the subject site and/or neighboring vacant sites in the future. The scale of nearby buildings is composed of the Sentry Market, Nice Mini Storage, and Hillside Mini Storage, all of which represent moderately sized buildings. The scale of the sign would not be incompatible with these neighboring established commercial uses.
Policy OSC-2.13 Control of Light and Glare The County shall require that all outdoor light fixtures including street lighting, externally illuminated signs, advertising displays, and billboards use low-energy, shielded light fixtures which direct light downward (i.e., lighting shall not emit higher than a horizontal level). Where public safety would not be compromised, the County shall encourage the use of low energy lighting for all outdoor light fixtures.
The applicant is proposing downcast lighting fixtures mounted on top of the sign on both sides to illuminate the sign. Each fixture is 120 watts, which is considered to be low wattage lighting.
Policy T-1.11 Protection of Scenic Corridors. Develop and maintain roads and highways in a manner that protects natural and scenic resources.
Highway 20 in this location is a locally-designated Scenic Highway. Scenic corridor height limits and sign restrictions do not apply to commercially-zoned properties at present time.
Zoning Ordinance Conformance
This site is zoned Service Commercial "C3" (and DR Design Review) which allows off site signs (billboards) subject to approval of a major use permit and design review and subject to the following regulations.
(a) No more than four hundred (400) square feet in area per face.
(b) One (1) sign per lot maximum.
(c) Maximum sign height from ground level to bottom of sign: twelve (12) feet, unless down-sloping terrain from the road necessitates increasing the height.
(d) Signs shall be non-illuminated or illuminated by indirect lighting.
(e) Billboard signs shall be located within Community Growth Boundaries, within one - thousand (1,000) feet of said Boundaries or within an incorporated city's sphere of influence.
The proposed Billboard meets all of these regulations.
Area Plan Conformance
The Upper Lake - Nice Area Plan, Chapter 3, Natural Resources, page 3-20, "Scenic Corridors", states:
General plan policies encouraged the protection and enhancement of Lake County's scenic highways and resources. The major purpose of this objective is to promote the county's recreation-based economy and provide a high level of scenic quality to residents and visitors alike. There are many panoramic views and scenic highway viewsheds within the Upper Lake - Nice Planning Area, including mountainous and hillside vistas with riparian and natural resources.
Mountain viewsheds include Elk Mountain and Hogback Ridge to the north and the Mayacamas Mountains to the west of the planning area. Vistas of Blue Lakes and Clear Lake are also available along portions of Highway 20.
At the February 22, 2018, the Board of Supervisors determined that the C3 zoning combined with this particular area were intended for high intensity commercial development, and that the location of the proposed sign would not conflict with any mountain viewsheds or scenic vistas. Therefore the sign is not inconsistent with this portion of the Upper Lake / Nice Area Plan.
V. ENVRONMENTAL REVIEW
Initial Study IS 17-25 was prepared by staff, and a Negative Declaration was prepared and offered for review and comment to neighbors within 725 feet of the subject site on March 20, 2018. No impacts were identified.
VI. MAJOR USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the County.
The sign will not be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the County as the proposed sign will be located in an area that is intended for high intensity commercial development. The subject site is small (8200 square feet) and is presently vacant. The proposed location of the sign is such that a small commercial use could still be developed on the site without interfering with the location and functionality of the sign.
2. That the site for the project is adequate in size, shape, location, and physical characteristics to accommodate the type of use and level of development proposed.
The site and immediate area are intended to support high intensity commercial development. The site is undeveloped but could support a small commercial use in addition to the sign. The sign will be positioned at the south-east corner of the property, which would still allow vehicular ingress and egress to and from Highway 20 adjacent to the site.
3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use.
Highway 20 adjacent to the site is not at or over capacity. The sign will not generate significant vehicular trips; the applicant has estimated that sign maintenance will require up to 4 vehicular trips annually at most. The sign will have a neutral effect on pedestrian activity.
4. That there are adequate public or private services, including but not limited to fire protection, water supply, sewage disposal, and police protection to serve the project.
The site has adequate services for the sign which just requires power.
5. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan and any approved zoning or land use study or plan.
The area plan states that signs should be brief, succinct message are usually more attractive, simpler and easier to read. Cluttered, hard-to-read signs are discouraged. Signs should be a harmonious element of the overall building design, using complimentary building materials and colors. Signs should not dominate building architecture through inappropriate sizes, colors or designs.
6. That no violation of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code currently exists on the property, unless the purpose of the permit is to correct the violation, or the permit relates to a portion of the property which is sufficiently separate and apart from the portion of the property in violation so as not to be affected by the violation from a public health, safety or general welfare basis.
The department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code.
VII. DESIGN REVIEW PERMIT FINDINGS
1. That the proposed use is a permitted use in the district where located.
Billboards are permitted in the C3-DR zoning district subject to review and approval of a major use permit and design review.
2. That the site for the project is adequate in size, shape, location, and physical characteristics to accommodate the type of use and level of development proposed.
Although the site is relatively small for a commercial lot (8200 square feet in area), it is large enough to accommodate the sign and a small commercial building.
3. That there are adequate public or private services, including but not limited to fire protection, water supply, sewage disposal, and police protection to serve the project.
The site only requires power which is available adjacent to the site.
4. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan and any approved zoning or land use study or plan.
The proposed sign meets the respective requirements of the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Area Plan.
5. That the placement and design of buildings and structures are compatible with existing development and will not detract from the visual setting.
The site and the area is intended for high intensity commercial development. The Sentry market is located west of the site. There are two mini-storage facilities located in the vicinity, each of which contain larger signs (one 'off site' and one 'on site'). The sign is compatible with high intensity commercial development.
6. That the project is in conformance with any applicable community design manual criteria.
There are no applicable design standards in the Area Plan, however there are applicable design standards in the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 45, subsections 20 through 22). Conformance with Article 45 and with Article 20 (C3-DR zone) is evaluated later in this document.
7. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use.
The sign requires no pedestrian facilities to serve it. There are adequate highway lanes adjacent to the site. No further road or pedestrian improvements are necessary.
8. That no violation of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code currently exists on the property, unless the purpose of the permit is to correct the violation, or the permit relates to a portion of the property which is sufficiently separate and apart from the portion of the property in violation so as not to be affected by the violation from a public health, safety or general welfare basis.
The department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code.

Staff recommends approval.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Applicant: Stott Outdoor Advertising
Owner: Larry and Frances Montgomery
Location: 2325 E. Highway 20, Nice, CA
A.P.N.: 004-055-37
Parcel Size: 8200 square feet
General Plan: Service Commercial
Zoning: "C3-DR-SC" Service Commercial-Design Review-Scenic Combining.
III. PROJECT SETTING
Existing Uses and Improvements: The property is currently vacant and unimproved.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: The site is located southeast of the Nice Sentry Market. The properties to the immediate southeast, south and southwest are vacant and are zoned C3 Service Commercial. The property across Highway 20 is also vacant and is zoned PDC Planned Development Commercial.
Topography: The parcel is flat.
Soils: According to the soil survey of Lake County, prepared by the U.S.D.A, The parcel contains soil type 244, Weppo Variant clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slope. Surface runoff of this soil is slow and hazard of erosion is slight. This soil type has minimal shrink-swell potential and is not prone to erosion.
Water Supply: Nice Water District
Sewage Disposal: Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN)
Fire Protection: Northshore Fire Protection District
Vegetation: Minor introduced landscaping (grass, several deciduous trees)
IV. PROJECT ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing an 'off site' sign (billboard) on the subject site. The sign as proposed is 22 feet tall measured from grade to the top of the sign; 300 square feet per sign face, and is proposed to have downcast lighting from four 78 watt light fixtures mounted on the top of the sign. The sign is proposed to be set back 10' from the Highway 20 right of way boundary in the southeastern corner of the subject site.
General Plan Conformance
The Lake County General Plan designates the site as 'Service Commercial', which is intended for high intensity commercial development. The sign is not inconsistent with high intensity commercial development and is therefore allowed under the Service Commercial designation for the property.
The following General Plan policies apply to this project:
Policy LU-5.4 Compatibility with Surrounding Land Use. The County shall ensure that appropriate industrial / heavy commercial sites will not result in harmful impacts to adjacent land uses. In addition, sites should be designed to prevent the intrusion of incompatible uses into industrial areas. Infilling of existing industrial areas is highly desirable where feasible.
The sign will be located on a vacant lot. Across Highway 20 is land zoned PDC, similar to the C3 zone in terms of permitted uses.
Policy LU-7.4 Contextual and Compatible Design The County shall ensure that new development respects Lake County's heritage by requiring that development respond to its context, be compatible with the traditions and character of each community, and develop in an orderly fashion which is compatible with the scale of surrounding structures.
There is already one billboard in the vicinity (see aerial photo below). The County anticipates that future high intensity development will occur on the subject site and/or neighboring vacant sites in the future. The scale of nearby buildings is composed of the Sentry Market, Nice Mini Storage, and Hillside Mini Storage, all of which represent moderately sized buildings. The scale of the sign would not be incompatible with these neighboring established commercial uses.
Policy OSC-2.13 Control of Light and Glare The County shall require that all outdoor light fixtures including street lighting, externally illuminated signs, advertising displays, and billboards use low-energy, shielded light fixtures which direct light downward (i.e., lighting shall not emit higher than a horizontal level). Where public safety would not be compromised, the County shall encourage the use of low energy lighting for all outdoor light fixtures.
The applicant is proposing downcast lighting fixtures mounted on top of the sign on both sides to illuminate the sign. Each fixture is 120 watts, which is considered to be low wattage lighting.
Policy T-1.11 Protection of Scenic Corridors. Develop and maintain roads and highways in a manner that protects natural and scenic resources.
Highway 20 in this location is a locally-designated Scenic Highway. Scenic corridor height limits and sign restrictions do not apply to commercially-zoned properties at present time.
Zoning Ordinance Conformance
This site is zoned Service Commercial "C3" (and DR Design Review) which allows off site signs (billboards) subject to approval of a major use permit and design review and subject to the following regulations.
(a) No more than four hundred (400) square feet in area per face.
(b) One (1) sign per lot maximum.
(c) Maximum sign height from ground level to bottom of sign: twelve (12) feet, unless down-sloping terrain from the road necessitates increasing the height.
(d) Signs shall be non-illuminated or illuminated by indirect lighting.
(e) Billboard signs shall be located within Community Growth Boundaries, within one - thousand (1,000) feet of said Boundaries or within an incorporated city's sphere of influence.
The proposed Billboard meets all of these regulations.
Area Plan Conformance
The Upper Lake - Nice Area Plan, Chapter 3, Natural Resources, page 3-20, "Scenic Corridors", states:
General plan policies encouraged the protection and enhancement of Lake County's scenic highways and resources. The major purpose of this objective is to promote the county's recreation-based economy and provide a high level of scenic quality to residents and visitors alike. There are many panoramic views and scenic highway viewsheds within the Upper Lake - Nice Planning Area, including mountainous and hillside vistas with riparian and natural resources.
Mountain viewsheds include Elk Mountain and Hogback Ridge to the north and the Mayacamas Mountains to the west of the planning area. Vistas of Blue Lakes and Clear Lake are also available along portions of Highway 20.
At the February 22, 2018, the Board of Supervisors determined that the C3 zoning combined with this particular area were intended for high intensity commercial development, and that the location of the proposed sign would not conflict with any mountain viewsheds or scenic vistas. Therefore the sign is not inconsistent with this portion of the Upper Lake / Nice Area Plan.
V. ENVRONMENTAL REVIEW
Initial Study IS 17-25 was prepared by staff, and a Negative Declaration was prepared and offered for review and comment to neighbors within 725 feet of the subject site on March 20, 2018. No impacts were identified.
VI. MAJOR USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the County.
The sign will not be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the County as the proposed sign will be located in an area that is intended for high intensity commercial development. The subject site is small (8200 square feet) and is presently vacant. The proposed location of the sign is such that a small commercial use could still be developed on the site without interfering with the location and functionality of the sign.
2. That the site for the project is adequate in size, shape, location, and physical characteristics to accommodate the type of use and level of development proposed.
The site and immediate area are intended to support high intensity commercial development. The site is undeveloped but could support a small commercial use in addition to the sign. The sign will be positioned at the south-east corner of the property, which would still allow vehicular ingress and egress to and from Highway 20 adjacent to the site.
3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use.
Highway 20 adjacent to the site is not at or over capacity. The sign will not generate significant vehicular trips; the applicant has estimated that sign maintenance will require up to 4 vehicular trips annually at most. The sign will have a neutral effect on pedestrian activity.
4. That there are adequate public or private services, including but not limited to fire protection, water supply, sewage disposal, and police protection to serve the project.
The site has adequate services for the sign which just requires power.
5. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan and any approved zoning or land use study or plan.
The area plan states that signs should be brief, succinct message are usually more attractive, simpler and easier to read. Cluttered, hard-to-read signs are discouraged. Signs should be a harmonious element of the overall building design, using complimentary building materials and colors. Signs should not dominate building architecture through inappropriate sizes, colors or designs.
6. That no violation of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code currently exists on the property, unless the purpose of the permit is to correct the violation, or the permit relates to a portion of the property which is sufficiently separate and apart from the portion of the property in violation so as not to be affected by the violation from a public health, safety or general welfare basis.
The department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code.
VII. DESIGN REVIEW PERMIT FINDINGS
1. That the proposed use is a permitted use in the district where located.
Billboards are permitted in the C3-DR zoning district subject to review and approval of a major use permit and design review.
2. That the site for the project is adequate in size, shape, location, and physical characteristics to accommodate the type of use and level of development proposed.
Although the site is relatively small for a commercial lot (8200 square feet in area), it is large enough to accommodate the sign and a small commercial building.
3. That there are adequate public or private services, including but not limited to fire protection, water supply, sewage disposal, and police protection to serve the project.
The site only requires power which is available adjacent to the site.
4. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan and any approved zoning or land use study or plan.
The proposed sign meets the respective requirements of the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Area Plan.
5. That the placement and design of buildings and structures are compatible with existing development and will not detract from the visual setting.
The site and the area is intended for high intensity commercial development. The Sentry market is located west of the site. There are two mini-storage facilities located in the vicinity, each of which contain larger signs (one 'off site' and one 'on site'). The sign is compatible with high intensity commercial development.
6. That the project is in conformance with any applicable community design manual criteria.
There are no applicable design standards in the Area Plan, however there are applicable design standards in the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 45, subsections 20 through 22). Conformance with Article 45 and with Article 20 (C3-DR zone) is evaluated later in this document.
7. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use.
The sign requires no pedestrian facilities to serve it. There are adequate highway lanes adjacent to the site. No further road or pedestrian improvements are necessary.
8. That no violation of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code currently exists on the property, unless the purpose of the permit is to correct the violation, or the permit relates to a portion of the property which is sufficiently separate and apart from the portion of the property in violation so as not to be affected by the violation from a public health, safety or general welfare basis.
The department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code.
