Staff memo

Date: May 19, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer · Subject: Consideration of County of Lake COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Return to Work - Worksite Prevention Protocol and direction to staff for the reopening of County offices to the public

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): As steps are being taken for our County to accelerate the Stage 2 reopening of local businesses during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, your Board's ad hoc committee and Department Heads have been concurrently planning for the reopening of County offices to the public. With this in mind, we have drafted the attached County of Lake COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Return to Work - Worksite Prevention Protocol, which is being submitted for the consideration and approval of your Board today. Much like the self-certification process to be completed by local businesses for reopening, County Department Heads will self-certify that their offices are in full and continuous compliance with this Protocol. Self-certification forms will be posted at the entrance of every County office. The protocol outlines the following: Personal Protective Equipment to be kept on hand at all times. Special signage (regarding masking, social distancing and other practices to reduce or prevent the spread of germs) to be posted at each public entrance and throughout interior areas including customer service counters, elevators and lobbies of County facilities to inform employees and the public. Necessity for enhanced hand washing, sanitizing and disinfecting. Requirements for minimum six-foot social distancing. Best practices for paper handling. Employee self-screenings, symptom checks and temperature self-checks. Support for employees who are at higher risk for severe illness. Meetings and trainings to be cancelled, postponed, conducted electronically or when absolutely necessary, conducted with all requirements of the protocol effectuated. Cancellation of non-essential travel and separate travel, to the greatest extent possible, when travel is essential. Procedure for referral of employees to testing when symptomatic or known to have been exposed. Requirements for employees who work in the field to contact any members of the public employees must meet with, in advance, in order to best manage the safety and well-being of the parties. The Protocol also includes a number of resource and training materials and informational signage in both English and Spanish, as attachments. During this time of gradual reopening to the public, to mitigate the potential for resurgence of COVID-19, as noted in the Protocol under, "Social Distancing", County staff will work flexible hours and will continue to telework when possible. We recommend your Board approve this Protocol, initiating the meet and confer process with our labor groups, and provide direction to Department Heads for the reopening of County offices to the public. Various adaptions and preparations to enhance the safety of employees and the public are presently underway, and it is recommended that County offices be reopened to the public, with all precautionary measures outlined in this protocol in place, by June 1, 2020. Up to the date of reopening, departments will continue to serve the public through a variety of telephonic, electronic, and limited in-person means, as per the earlier direction of your Board. Upon reopening, Department Heads will provide sufficient in-office staffing levels to serve the public while also following the Governor's guidance for employees to telework when possible with flexible scheduling as necessary to manage social distancing requirements.

Recommended Action

Approve County of Lake COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Return to Work - Worksite Prevention Protocol, authorizing the County Administrative Officer or her designee to initiate the meet and confer process with our labor groups. Direct staff to reopen County offices to the public by June 1, 2020, with all requirements of this Protocol in effect.

No additional funding requested — the memo's cost fields were left blank, which on this form means the item is already budgeted.

Staff memo

Date: May 19, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Scott DeLeon, Eric Porter - Community Development Department · Subject: Appeal to Board of Supervisors, AB 19-03 for Minor Use Permit MUP 18-10 (Sandtner/Frey Appeal)

Exhibits: A - AB 19-03 Appeal Packet B - Planning Commission Staff Report and Attachments (May 13, 2019) C - Planning Commission Minutes (May 23, 2019) D - CalFire Email String from Battalion Chief Mike Wink (November 10, 2019) E - Public Resource Code 4290 and 4291 Report F - Conditions of Approval G - Site Plans H - Correspondence with Appellant's Attorney

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The appellant, Brenda Frey represented by attorney Andre Ross, is appealing the Planning Commission's May 23, 2019 decision to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS 18-28) and approve a Minor Use Permit (MUP 18-10) for the applicant Stephan Sandtner and the property owner Jason Oram. If approved, the use permit would allow an A-Type 2B (mixed light) commercial cannabis cultivation site within (3) 30' x 96' greenhouses, representing a total cultivation area of 8,640 square feet at 16983 Hofacker Lane, Lower Lake; APN number 012-056-44. Proposed water source is a 150,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of (10) 15,000 gallon tanks. During the hearing, the Planning Commission took testimony, deliberated, then voted 3-0 (2 absentees) to approve Minor Use Permit (MUP 18-10) with changes to the condition of approval regarding water source to limit the applicant to a rainwater catchment system only for irrigation purposes. The reference to CalFire letter within the Planning Commission staff report was erroneous. At the time that MUP 18-10 was submitted, CalFire was conducting site visits to assure compliance with Public Resource Codes 4290 and 4291. Staff received a 12 page checklist from the CalFire representative that contained no recommendation, but did contain standards that applied to the private lane (Hofacker Lane). Following the Planning Commission's decision and this subsequent appeal, Mike Wink (CalFire Chief) submitted an email dated November 10, 2019 that indicated CalFire would not support a commercial cultivation project on Hofacker Lane because the lane did not meet CalFire 4290 and 4291 standards for width, overhead clearance and slope. The applicant will be required to improve Hofacker Lane as a condition of approval. That is one of the options available to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. Should the Board deny the appeal and approve the use permit, an additional condition of approval will be required to address PRC 4290 and 4291 compliance for Hofacker Lane. Points of the Appeal. The appellant has raised three points of concern within his appeal as noted below. Item 4 was initiated by staff following the Planning Commission's hearing. Appeal Item: 1. Original Condition No. H1 - poorly worded, confusing. 2. Property Owner's approval in question. 3. Homeowner's Association should be included in the process. Sandtner Site Plan Appeal Discussion Point 1 - Water. Condition No. H-1: (paraphrased) - the appellant stated that the Planning Commission added the word 'primary' to the proposed rainwater catchment system as the water source, which would have allowed the applicant to rely on well water 7 times during a 6-month period. Staff's Response: The Planning Commission ultimately amended condition H1 to state that the exclusive use of the rainwater catchment system as the sole irrigation water source for the commercial cannabis cultivation; this is stated in the revised conditions of approval for this action. The Planning Commission agreed that a condition requiring monitoring of the rainwater catchment system is needed, and that the monthly use of all water sources on site needs to be required within the Annual Report required by the conditions of approval. The applicant could have a one-time water delivery imported to his site, however this may occur with written consent by the Community Development Director on an 'emergency only' basis, since this is allowed to any other cultivator in Lake County via written request and written consent. Point 2 - Property Owner's Involvement. The Appellant's representative states: "Owner's Approval. The Staff Report dated May 13, 2019 regarding the Applicant's MUP 18-10 application is based on a potentially erroneous statement material fact with respect to the County of Lake's 'Property Owners Approval' requirement. The Appellant's representative then states: "With respect to the lawful and proper inquiry as to whether or not the Applicant's Project has obtained a valid approval of the Property Owner, the May 13th Staff Report states as follows: 'The applicant is working with the owner of record, Jason Oram, who is also co-applicant on this proposal.'" Staff's Response: The Property Owner of Record, Jason Oram, was the lead project proponent that addressed the Planning Commission during the Applicant's portion of the deliberation. Mr. Oram has passed a background check, has signed the application as 'owner', and has stated his support for the project, evidenced by the video testimony of the proceedings. The Property Owner has communicated with staff on multiple occasions during the use permit review process to advocate for the project and has served as a primary point of staff contact. Point 3 - The Homeowner's Association should be involved as Owner. The Pomo Lake Subdivision has a Homeowner's Association (HOA). The appellant appears to state that approval of the Homeowner's Association is germane to the outcome of the Planning Commission's procedural review. During the hearing, the appellant's attorney stated that the County had no jurisdiction over Covenants, Codes and Restrictions (CCR) enforcement; this position was confirmed by the Community Development Director, but had no relevance to the Property Owner's consent on this action, or on the Planning Commission's ability to approve a land use permit at the subject site. Staff's Response: The County is neutral regarding CCRs that either allow or prohibit certain uses from occurring within the HOA boundary. A commercial cannabis use permit can be approved by the County even if an HOA's CCRs prohibit such a use. Commercial Cannabis Applications A commercial cannabis license can be obtained through a major or a minor use permit depending on the type of cannabis cultivation license that is sought. Approval of a commercial cannabis use permit changes the nature of a residential property into a commercial use. Project Description Applicants: 707 Organics/Stephen Sandtner Owner: Jason Oram Location: 16983 Hofacker Lane, Lower Lake A.P.N.: 012-056-44 Parcel Size: 48.46 acres General Plan: Rural Lands Zoning: "RL"; Rural Lands Flood Zone: None Zoning of Subject Site and Vicinity 1. Article 27, subsection (at), Commercial Cannabis Cultivation The following subsections within Article 27 relate to water usage: (d) Minor and Major Use Permits for Commercial cannabis cultivation (5) Responses to the following performance standards questions: (iv) Does the applicant have a legal, on-site source of water? (v) Does the applicant agree to monitor water use and share the data with the County? (vi) Does the applicant agree to make water source available to Cal Fire for firefighting? (8) A complete list of every owner of the applicant entity. Each individual owner shall submit the following information: (xv) Identification of all water sources used for cultivation activities and the estimated volume of water used on a monthly basis. Response: The Applicant has agreed to have the rainwater catchment system be used as the sole water source for irrigation. Condition of approval number H1 has been modified to require this. The State Water Quality Control Board was contacted by staff in February 2019, and they are fully supportive of a rainwater catchment system being used as an irrigation method for this purpose. The applicant has agreed to all of the applicable terms within Article 27, subsection (at) that pertain to water and storm water management, since this project would capture rainwater and store it in ten 15,000 gallon water storage tanks on site. 2. Article 50.4, Minor Use Permits, 'Findings Required for Approval' The Review Authority may only approve or conditionally approve a Minor Use Permit if all of the following findings are made: 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. Response: The Planning Commission found that this application met this subsection. 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. Response: The Planning Commission found that the subject site is 45.65 acres in size, large enough to accommodate this proposed 8,240 s.f. cannabis cultivation area (excluding the 1,200 s.f. drying room). 3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use. Response: The site would take access from Hofacker Lane, a private gated unpaved road. At the time of original application submittal, CalFire was the responsible agency for determining whether the ingress - egress was sufficient or needed to be upgraded. On May 2, 2018, CalFire Battalion Chief Chris Vallerga provided staff with Public Resource Code (PRC) 4290 and 4291 for private road and driveway standards, however no recommendations were given by CalFire regarding the proposal. Staff mis-interpreted the CalFire response and recommended approval of the cannabis license with no required improvements to Hofacker Lane. A condition of approval (Condition No. J.7) was included that incorrectly cited a positive recommendation from CalFire that did not occur. Ultimately the Planning Commission approved this commercial cannabis permit on May 23, 2019. On June 13, 2019 following the Planning Commission's decision, William Sapeta, Fire Chief, Lake County Fire Protection District, sent an email to Mike Wink, Battalion Chief, CalFire (as well as to other contacts), stating that he had received a complaint regarding the use of Hofacker Lane for access to the Sandtner/Oram cannabis site, but that the jurisdiction belonged to the South County Fire Protection District (CalFire). On Sunday, October 13, 2019, CalFire's Battalion Chief Mike Wink emailed Jack Smalley, Interim Fire Marshal, stating that "... when you leave Hofacker Road, the access roads/driveways meet no standards for a driveway, one way road or a road... (t)he South Lake County Fire Protection District does not support the issuance of any ... Use Permits that do not apply State Law minimums for Fire Safe Regulations." In order for the Applicant to use the site for a commercial cannabis activity, Hofacker Lane would need to be improved in a manner that it would meet PRC 4290 road standards; or, the County would have to waive 4290/4291 requirements. Since structures are involved, staff is unable to recommend that the County waive these standards. If the applicant were given the opportunity to improve Hofacker Lane in a manner that makes it compliant with PRC 4290; this would mean that the gate, road width, road grade, overhead clearance and road surface material would need to comply. It would require a Grading Permit and a new CEQA review (Initial Study) due to the amount of earth that would need to be moved. The applicant would need to provide engineered drawings that would need to be reviewed by the Building Official before the Grading Permit could be considered. 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. Response: The Planning Commission found that the site has adequate services for the cannabis cultivation use. The issue of the inadequacy of Hofacker Lane however (previous finding) needs to be addressed in a new condition of approval. 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 plan. Response: The Planning Commission made the finding that this project was in compliance with the Lake County General Plan, Lower Lake Area Plan, and Lake County Zoning Ordinance. 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. Response: The Community Development Department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code. 3. Article 27, Section (au)7.i; 'Findings Required for Approval': 1. The proposed use complies with all development standards described in Section 1.i. This report identifies the development standards that apply to cannabis cultivation in Lake County. The applicant is fully compliant with most of the development standards, and can be made to comply through conditions of approval of the development standards that are not yet met, primarily improving Hofacker Lane in a manner that allows it to comply with Public Resource Codes 4290 and 4291. 2. The applicant is qualified to make the application described in Section 1.ii.(g). The owner (Oram) and the applicant (Sandtner) have passed a Live Scan background check, and are both qualified to undertake a commercial cannabis cultivation activity subject to approval of this use permit. 3. The application complies with the qualifications for a permit described in Section 1.ii.(i) This application complies with all qualifications for a permit described in Section 1.ii.(f). The applicant is proposing an A-Type 2B (mixed light) commercial cannabis cultivation site within three 30' x 96' greenhouses, representing a total cultivation area of 8,640 s.f. at 16983 Hofacker Lane, Lower Lake; APN number 012-056-44. Proposed water source is a 150,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of (10) 15,000 gallon tanks. The applicant also qualifies for the Type 13 'Self Distribution' license which should be added to this decision (if it is approved) now that it is an available option. APPEAL SUBMITTAL.

Original memo text
Memorandum Date: May 19, 2020 To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Scott DeLeon, Eric Porter - Community Development Department Subject: Appeal to Board of Supervisors, AB 19-03 for Minor Use Permit MUP 18-10 (Sandtner/Frey Appeal) Exhibits: A - AB 19-03 Appeal Packet B - Planning Commission Staff Report and Attachments (May 13, 2019) C - Planning Commission Minutes (May 23, 2019) D - CalFire Email String from Battalion Chief Mike Wink (November 10, 2019) E - Public Resource Code 4290 and 4291 Report F - Conditions of Approval G - Site Plans H - Correspondence with Appellant's Attorney Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The appellant, Brenda Frey represented by attorney Andre Ross, is appealing the Planning Commission's May 23, 2019 decision to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS 18-28) and approve a Minor Use Permit (MUP 18-10) for the applicant Stephan Sandtner and the property owner Jason Oram. If approved, the use permit would allow an A-Type 2B (mixed light) commercial cannabis cultivation site within (3) 30' x 96' greenhouses, representing a total cultivation area of 8,640 square feet at 16983 Hofacker Lane, Lower Lake; APN number 012-056-44. Proposed water source is a 150,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of (10) 15,000 gallon tanks. During the hearing, the Planning Commission took testimony, deliberated, then voted 3-0 (2 absentees) to approve Minor Use Permit (MUP 18-10) with changes to the condition of approval regarding water source to limit the applicant to a rainwater catchment system only for irrigation purposes. The reference to CalFire letter within the Planning Commission staff report was erroneous. At the time that MUP 18-10 was submitted, CalFire was conducting site visits to assure compliance with Public Resource Codes 4290 and 4291. Staff received a 12 page checklist from the CalFire representative that contained no recommendation, but did contain standards that applied to the private lane (Hofacker Lane). Following the Planning Commission's decision and this subsequent appeal, Mike Wink (CalFire Chief) submitted an email dated November 10, 2019 that indicated CalFire would not support a commercial cultivation project on Hofacker Lane because the lane did not meet CalFire 4290 and 4291 standards for width, overhead clearance and slope. The applicant will be required to improve Hofacker Lane as a condition of approval. That is one of the options available to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. Should the Board deny the appeal and approve the use permit, an additional condition of approval will be required to address PRC 4290 and 4291 compliance for Hofacker Lane. Points of the Appeal. The appellant has raised three points of concern within his appeal as noted below. Item 4 was initiated by staff following the Planning Commission's hearing. Appeal Item: 1. Original Condition No. H1 - poorly worded, confusing. 2. Property Owner's approval in question. 3. Homeowner's Association should be included in the process. Sandtner Site Plan Appeal Discussion Point 1 - Water. Condition No. H-1: (paraphrased) - the appellant stated that the Planning Commission added the word 'primary' to the proposed rainwater catchment system as the water source, which would have allowed the applicant to rely on well water 7 times during a 6-month period. Staff's Response: The Planning Commission ultimately amended condition H1 to state that the exclusive use of the rainwater catchment system as the sole irrigation water source for the commercial cannabis cultivation; this is stated in the revised conditions of approval for this action. The Planning Commission agreed that a condition requiring monitoring of the rainwater catchment system is needed, and that the monthly use of all water sources on site needs to be required within the Annual Report required by the conditions of approval. The applicant could have a one-time water delivery imported to his site, however this may occur with written consent by the Community Development Director on an 'emergency only' basis, since this is allowed to any other cultivator in Lake County via written request and written consent. Point 2 - Property Owner's Involvement. The Appellant's representative states: "Owner's Approval. The Staff Report dated May 13, 2019 regarding the Applicant's MUP 18-10 application is based on a potentially erroneous statement material fact with respect to the County of Lake's 'Property Owners Approval' requirement. The Appellant's representative then states: "With respect to the lawful and proper inquiry as to whether or not the Applicant's Project has obtained a valid approval of the Property Owner, the May 13th Staff Report states as follows: 'The applicant is working with the owner of record, Jason Oram, who is also co-applicant on this proposal.'" Staff's Response: The Property Owner of Record, Jason Oram, was the lead project proponent that addressed the Planning Commission during the Applicant's portion of the deliberation. Mr. Oram has passed a background check, has signed the application as 'owner', and has stated his support for the project, evidenced by the video testimony of the proceedings. The Property Owner has communicated with staff on multiple occasions during the use permit review process to advocate for the project and has served as a primary point of staff contact. Point 3 - The Homeowner's Association should be involved as Owner. The Pomo Lake Subdivision has a Homeowner's Association (HOA). The appellant appears to state that approval of the Homeowner's Association is germane to the outcome of the Planning Commission's procedural review. During the hearing, the appellant's attorney stated that the County had no jurisdiction over Covenants, Codes and Restrictions (CCR) enforcement; this position was confirmed by the Community Development Director, but had no relevance to the Property Owner's consent on this action, or on the Planning Commission's ability to approve a land use permit at the subject site. Staff's Response: The County is neutral regarding CCRs that either allow or prohibit certain uses from occurring within the HOA boundary. A commercial cannabis use permit can be approved by the County even if an HOA's CCRs prohibit such a use. Commercial Cannabis Applications A commercial cannabis license can be obtained through a major or a minor use permit depending on the type of cannabis cultivation license that is sought. Approval of a commercial cannabis use permit changes the nature of a residential property into a commercial use. Project Description Applicants: 707 Organics/Stephen Sandtner Owner: Jason Oram Location: 16983 Hofacker Lane, Lower Lake A.P.N.: 012-056-44 Parcel Size: 48.46 acres General Plan: Rural Lands Zoning: "RL"; Rural Lands Flood Zone: None Zoning of Subject Site and Vicinity 1. Article 27, subsection (at), Commercial Cannabis Cultivation The following subsections within Article 27 relate to water usage: (d) Minor and Major Use Permits for Commercial cannabis cultivation (5) Responses to the following performance standards questions: (iv) Does the applicant have a legal, on-site source of water? (v) Does the applicant agree to monitor water use and share the data with the County? (vi) Does the applicant agree to make water source available to Cal Fire for firefighting? (8) A complete list of every owner of the applicant entity. Each individual owner shall submit the following information: (xv) Identification of all water sources used for cultivation activities and the estimated volume of water used on a monthly basis. Response: The Applicant has agreed to have the rainwater catchment system be used as the sole water source for irrigation. Condition of approval number H1 has been modified to require this. The State Water Quality Control Board was contacted by staff in February 2019, and they are fully supportive of a rainwater catchment system being used as an irrigation method for this purpose. The applicant has agreed to all of the applicable terms within Article 27, subsection (at) that pertain to water and storm water management, since this project would capture rainwater and store it in ten 15,000 gallon water storage tanks on site. 2. Article 50.4, Minor Use Permits, 'Findings Required for Approval' The Review Authority may only approve or conditionally approve a Minor Use Permit if all of the following findings are made: 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. Response: The Planning Commission found that this application met this subsection. 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. Response: The Planning Commission found that the subject site is 45.65 acres in size, large enough to accommodate this proposed 8,240 s.f. cannabis cultivation area (excluding the 1,200 s.f. drying room). 3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use. Response: The site would take access from Hofacker Lane, a private gated unpaved road. At the time of original application submittal, CalFire was the responsible agency for determining whether the ingress - egress was sufficient or needed to be upgraded. On May 2, 2018, CalFire Battalion Chief Chris Vallerga provided staff with Public Resource Code (PRC) 4290 and 4291 for private road and driveway standards, however no recommendations were given by CalFire regarding the proposal. Staff mis-interpreted the CalFire response and recommended approval of the cannabis license with no required improvements to Hofacker Lane. A condition of approval (Condition No. J.7) was included that incorrectly cited a positive recommendation from CalFire that did not occur. Ultimately the Planning Commission approved this commercial cannabis permit on May 23, 2019. On June 13, 2019 following the Planning Commission's decision, William Sapeta, Fire Chief, Lake County Fire Protection District, sent an email to Mike Wink, Battalion Chief, CalFire (as well as to other contacts), stating that he had received a complaint regarding the use of Hofacker Lane for access to the Sandtner/Oram cannabis site, but that the jurisdiction belonged to the South County Fire Protection District (CalFire). On Sunday, October 13, 2019, CalFire's Battalion Chief Mike Wink emailed Jack Smalley, Interim Fire Marshal, stating that "... when you leave Hofacker Road, the access roads/driveways meet no standards for a driveway, one way road or a road... (t)he South Lake County Fire Protection District does not support the issuance of any ... Use Permits that do not apply State Law minimums for Fire Safe Regulations." In order for the Applicant to use the site for a commercial cannabis activity, Hofacker Lane would need to be improved in a manner that it would meet PRC 4290 road standards; or, the County would have to waive 4290/4291 requirements. Since structures are involved, staff is unable to recommend that the County waive these standards. If the applicant were given the opportunity to improve Hofacker Lane in a manner that makes it compliant with PRC 4290; this would mean that the gate, road width, road grade, overhead clearance and road surface material would need to comply. It would require a Grading Permit and a new CEQA review (Initial Study) due to the amount of earth that would need to be moved. The applicant would need to provide engineered drawings that would need to be reviewed by the Building Official before the Grading Permit could be considered. 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. Response: The Planning Commission found that the site has adequate services for the cannabis cultivation use. The issue of the inadequacy of Hofacker Lane however (previous finding) needs to be addressed in a new condition of approval. 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 plan. Response: The Planning Commission made the finding that this project was in compliance with the Lake County General Plan, Lower Lake Area Plan, and Lake County Zoning Ordinance. 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. Response: The Community Development Department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code. 3. Article 27, Section (au)7.i; 'Findings Required for Approval': 1. The proposed use complies with all development standards described in Section 1.i. This report identifies the development standards that apply to cannabis cultivation in Lake County. The applicant is fully compliant with most of the development standards, and can be made to comply through conditions of approval of the development standards that are not yet met, primarily improving Hofacker Lane in a manner that allows it to comply with Public Resource Codes 4290 and 4291. 2. The applicant is qualified to make the application described in Section 1.ii.(g). The owner (Oram) and the applicant (Sandtner) have passed a Live Scan background check, and are both qualified to undertake a commercial cannabis cultivation activity subject to approval of this use permit. 3. The application complies with the qualifications for a permit described in Section 1.ii.(i) This application complies with all qualifications for a permit described in Section 1.ii.(f). The applicant is proposing an A-Type 2B (mixed light) commercial cannabis cultivation site within three 30' x 96' greenhouses, representing a total cultivation area of 8,640 s.f. at 16983 Hofacker Lane, Lower Lake; APN number 012-056-44. Proposed water source is a 150,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of (10) 15,000 gallon tanks. The applicant also qualifies for the Type 13 'Self Distribution' license which should be added to this decision (if it is approved) now that it is an available option. APPEAL SUBMITTAL.

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): With the programs in place such as Hope Harbor, Project RoomKey, Project Restoration, and others we are seeing programs in our county grow to provide assistance to those that remain unsheltered. Hope Center in Clearlake is moving forward and is being renovated to meet the needs of their operation. However, there is a need for more assistance in the northern area of the county. Juvenile Hall is owned by the county. It is not utilized to its fullest potential at all. Its office space is currently occupied by the Probation Department. Some of the lounges and classrooms are utilized as well for programs that Probation offers. However, it has the potential to be a dormitory of sorts to help provide a perfect environment to help transition folks to stable housing as well as provide wrap around services. Staff has met on multiple occasions about the possibility of utilizing this facility. We are hoping to bring this discussion to the board in order for more staff time to be dedicated to seeking answers to the many questions we have such as cost of upgrading the facility to meet the code for a Housing Navigation Hub. Before taking any of these actions, we are seeking board approval to keep moving forward.

Recommended Action

Direct staff to continue researching the costs and needs of turning Juvenile Hall into a Housing Navigation Hub.

6. Approval of the Consent Agenda

6.1Approve Minutes of the Board of Supervisors Meeting from May 5, 2020 Minutes passed on consent
6.2(Sitting as the Lake County Air Quality Management District, Board of Directors) - Authorize the APCO to sign and submit the Grant agreement between the District and ARB for AB617 Implementation Funds for the Community Air Protection Program, and to sign all other program documents. Agreement passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: May 19, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County AQMD Board of Directors · From: Douglas Gearhart, Air Pollution Control Officer · Subject: Authorize the APCO to sign and submit the Grant agreement between the District and ARB for AB617 Implementation Funds for the Community Air Protection Program, and to sign all other program documents.

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The passage of AB617 Community Air Protection Program occurred in 2017, and AB 109 in 2017 provided funding to implement the program. Funds are appropriated from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Significant funds are going to other parts of the state where significant community impacts occur and large populations are exposed to significant air pollution. The Lake County AQMD will receive a small portion of funds to be used for Year 2 work related to AB617. The AB617 program is an overly paper heavy and legalistic process to implement and administer due to the funding source and reporting requirements of the State. The program is setup as a reimbursement program, but we may be able to obtain advance funding for some work. We believe the funding could help update local rules to match up with State reporting timeframes, thus simplifying reporting requirements. Attached is the grant agreement and provisions. The grant agreement does require significant reporting and documentation requirements which do not work well for us as we do not have staff dedicated to grant programs.

Memorandum Date: May 19, 2020 To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County AQMD Board of Directors From: Douglas Gearhart, Air Pollution Control Officer Subject: Authorize the APCO to sign and submit the Grant agreement between the District and ARB for AB617 Implementation Funds for the Community Air Protection Program, and to sign all other program documents. Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The passage of AB617 Community Air Protection Program occurred in 2017, and AB 109 in 2017 provided funding to implement the program. Funds are appropriated from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Significant funds are going to other parts of the state where significant community impacts occur and large populations are exposed to significant air pollution. The Lake County AQMD will receive a small portion of funds to be used for Year 2 work related to AB617. The AB617 program is an overly paper heavy and legalistic process to implement and administer due to the funding source and reporting requirements of the State. The program is setup as a reimbursement program, but we may be able to obtain advance funding for some work. We believe the funding could help update local rules to match up with State reporting timeframes, thus simplifying reporting requirements. Attached is the grant agreement and provisions.

6.3(Sitting as the Lake County Air Quality Management District, Board of Directors) - Adopt Resolution Authorizing Participation in "Year 22" Carl Moyer Program, and Authorizing the APCO to Submit Grant Application and Sign Program Documents Resolution passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: May 19, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County AQMD Board of Directors · From: Douglas Gearhart, Air Pollution Control Officer · Subject: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Participation in "Year 22" Carl Moyer Program, and Authorizing the APCO to Submit Grant Application and Sign Program Documents

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (CMP) was established in 1998 as a grant program to fund the incremental cost of cleaner-than-required heavy-duty engines. The program now includes the reduction of particulate matter (PM) emissions and reduction of reactive organic gases (ROG), and originally targeted the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. The grant funding originates from fees on tire sales, car sales, and smog check fees. The CMP has historically been, and continues to be, an overly paper heavy and legalistic process to implement and administer. Ongoing obligations to monitor the funding contracts could become a significant resource demand. Due to the extensive auditing and reporting requirements imposed by the ARB, District staff is reviewing projects as a pre-approval screening prior to requesting funds from the State. With changes in the program requirements several years ago, we are able to fund school bus projects and a few other project categories have been simplified and have potential for some projects to move forward that had previously been deemed not cost effective, as such we may request project funds earlier to minimize delays in project approvals. Districts, such as the LCAQMD, with a population less than 1% of the state total population are eligible for a Matching Fund Waiver and program funding of up to $200,000. The present program guidelines state in part that the District submit a minute order or resolution authorizing the APCO to implement the program. The guidelines remain largely unchanged from the prior two years. Presently the program remains complicated and has specific statewide guidelines. The ARB continues to require a contract for the individual grants and typically 5 to 7 years of follow up reporting. The guidelines have made qualifying for some projects difficult for both proponent and the District except school buses and a few other project categories. The LCAQMD has received fifteen previous grant awards. We currently have partial Year 20 and 21 funds. Year 20 and part of Year 21 funds are allocated to a school bus project. If we fail to timely apply for the grant funds or do not timely expend funds (within 2 years of disbursement and an additional 2 years to liquidate), the funds allocated to Lake County must be returned to the State and will be reallocated to other areas of the state.

Recommended Action

Adopt Resolution Authorizing Participation in "Year 22" Carl Moyer Program, and Authorizing the APCO to Submit Grant Application and Sign Program Documents.

No additional funding requested — the memo's cost fields were left blank, which on this form means the item is already budgeted.
