Staff memo

Date: July 7, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Todd Metcalf, MPA Behavioral Health Services Director · Subject: (a) Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Section Code 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services; and (b) Approve the Agreement between the County of Lake and Manzanita House for Adult Residential Support Services and Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Year 2020-21 for a contract maximum of $153,300 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement.

Executive Summary

Attached, for your approval, is the Agreement between the County of Lake and Manzanita House for Adult Residential Support Services and Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Year 2020-21. Located in Nice, Ca. Manzanita House is one of two Board and Care Facilities located within Lake County that serve adults. As they are in County, clients placed at Manzanita House are actively engaged in Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) services and can participate in their Recovery Program leading to positive outcomes and a successful return to the community. Manzanita House has proven to be a cost-efficient alternative for care for clients who are ready to be transitioned from Institutes for Mental Disease (IMDs) or have been brought back to the county from out of county placements. The daily patch rate for placement at this facility is $70 per day per resident. As LCBHS currently has clients placed at this facility and as it is our goal to keep our clients placed at the lowest level of care possible, it would require extensive work to find new placement for these clients. In addition, changes in placement could cause exacerbation of the client's symptoms, which could potentially result in moving the client to a higher, more expensive level of care. Therefore, LCBHS is requesting to waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services. Which exemption is being requested? 38.2 How long has Agreement been in place? Ongoing When was purchase last rebid? N/A Reason for request to waive bid? Unique Nature of Goods/Services

Staff memo

Date: July 7, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Crystal Markytan, Social Services Director · Subject: Approve Contract between County of Lake and Adams Ashby Group for HOME and CDBG Loan Portfolio Management Services in the amount of $45,000, from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, and authorize the Chair to sign.

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The County currently has a HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) loan portfolio containing 67 loans. Each loan requires continuous staff time dedicated to ensuring compliance with Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines and regulations. Unfortunately, the Housing division, currently under Social Services, does not have the resources or staff available to ensure loans are current and compliant, and as a result over half of the loan portfolio is out of compliance. This leaves the County at risk for audit findings from HCD, and limits the potential funds to be collected from defaulted loans. Adams Ashby Group manages multiple portfolios for other County and City governments and has extensive experience organizing portfolios, providing assistance and support to borrowers, and creating and maintaining compliance within the portfolio. The services provided under this contract will relieve a huge burden currently on the Housing division, and decrease the potential for issues that may result from a non-compliant portfolio. Request for Proposals (RFP 19-13) for HOME and CDBG Loan Portfolio Management Services was issued and notices were sent to multiple potential contractors, with Adams Ashby Group as the only proposal received.

Recommended Action

Approve Contract between County of Lake and Adams Ashby Group for HOME and CDBG Loan Portfolio Management Services in the amount of $45,000, from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, and authorize the Chair to sign.

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Guenoc Ranch consists of 69 existing parcels within approximately 16,000 acres of land (refer to Exhibit 1a of Exhibit B-June 18, 2020 Planning Commission Staff Report- which contains a spreadsheet with a detailed description of parcels, APNs, ownership, and parcel size and Exhibit 2a for site and vicinity maps). The Guenoc Ranch is currently under General Plan designations of Agricultural Resource Conservation, Rural Lands, and Rural Residential, and proposed to be Resort Commercial. In addition, the Tentative Subdivision Maps will include "no build" areas to preserve sensitive habitats and environmental constraints. The Tentative Subdivision Map also will include exclusive easements such as utilities and access. The Guenoc Ranch is located on Butts Canyon Road, approximately four miles east of its intersection with Highway 29. The present use of the property includes vineyards, grazing, horse trails, a hunting lodge, and a few residences. The Guenoc Ranch does not include an area of approximately 360 acres which contains the Langtry winery and the Lily Langtry estate home. For the Guenoc Ranch, the applicant is requesting approval of a General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Amendment, Rezone, a General Plan of Development, a Major Use Permit for a Specific Plan of Development (SPOD) to allow a Mixed-Use Commercial Resort and tentative subdivision maps, for which phased final maps would be recorded in the future, and a Development Agreement. The overall approvals would allow a mixed-use development which would include a total of 400 hotel units, 450 resort residential units, and 1,400 residential estate villas at the maximum buildout of the entire proposed Guenoc Valley District (GVD). The first phase of development, as described in the proposed SPOD, requests approval for 127 hotel units, 141 resort residential cottages, 50 temporary workforce hotel units, 20 campsites, 100 workforce housing co-housing units and 401 residential villas In addition, the applicant is requesting approvals related to the Middletown Housing Site (also referred to as the Santa Clara Housing Site), including a rezone of approximately 3.5 acres from Single-Family Residential to Two-Family Residential, a Tentative Subdivision Map, and a use permit for a community center (also referred to as a community clubhouse) to serve the housing site and more than five duplex units within proposed Two-Family Residential zoning area. The Middletown Housing Site is located on 21000 Santa Clara Road, accessed off of Hwy 171, approximately 0.4 miles from its intersection with State Route 29. This property was the subject of a 50-lot subdivision approved in 2006, which has expired; the requested Santa Clara subdivision follows a similar lot layout. It should be noted that the EIR evaluated the construction of a new pipeline within the right of way of Butts Canyon Road from an offsite well property located on the northeast corner of Butts Canyon Road and State Route Highway 29, however the applicant is not requesting any project specific entitlements to install it at this time. II. SUMMARY OF PLANNING COMMISSION HEARINGS On June 18, 2020, the Community Development Department brought the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Commercial Development before the Planning Commission (see Exhibit B which contains the Staff Report and associated exhibits). A detailed presentation of the project was given. The Planning Commission made the determination to continue the item until June 25, 2020 to allow additional time to review all necessary documents. On June 25, 2020, Planning Commission recommended approval of the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Commercial Development Project (see Exhibit C for the Staff Report and associated exhibits). During the June 25, 2020 Planning Commission hearing, County staff provided the Planning Commission with additional information and responses that were discussed during the June 18, 2020 hearing. The additional information prepared is as follows: (1) Consistency of the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Development Project with Lake County General Plan Policy LU 6.12; (2) Responses to issues raised in the comment letter from Caltrans dated June 17, 2020; (3) A summary of the changes to the Draft EIR; and (4) Recommended Motions. See Exhibit C. III. PROJECT SETTING Applicant/Owner: Lotusland Investment Holdings Inc. Parcel Size: Approximately 16,000 acres General Plan Designation: - Guenoc Valley Existing: Agriculture, Resource Conservation, Rural Lands, and Rural Residential; Middletown Area Plan: Special Study Area - Guenoc Valley Proposed: Guenoc Valley District (GVD District) - Santa Clara Road Site Existing: Low Density Residential and Resource Conservation Land Use Zoning Designation: - Guenoc Valley Existing: Agriculture, Resource Conservation, Rural Lands, and Rural Residential - Guenoc Valley Proposed: Resort Commercial - Santa Clara Road Site Existing: Single Family Residential - Santa Clara Road Site Proposed: Single Family Residential and Two-Family Residential Flood Zone: - Guenoc Valley Site: Zone X and Zone DA small area surrounding a portion of Bucksnort Creek, which connects McCreary Lake to Detert Reservoir classified as Zone A, but most of this area is in the Not Part of this Project Site area and no development is proposed near this area under Phase 1. - Santa Clara Site: Zone AO Existing Uses and Improvements: The Guenoc Ranch parcels are currently developed with approximately 990 acre of vineyards and approximately 72 miles of existing roadways, overland water pipelines and associated pumps, and accessories to move water from the five irrigation reservoirs. The Middletown Housing Site is currently undeveloped. Guenoc Valley Site Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: - The Guenoc Valley Site is bordered by rural and agricultural lands that have a mix of dry grazing lands, vineyards, and irrigated pastures. The Cedars Mountains border the northeast side of the Guenoc Valley Site and a previous U.S. Coast Guard LORAN station military reservation to the northwest. The closest edge of the Hidden Valley Lake Community is approximately one-mile northwest of the Guenoc Valley Site boundary and the Middletown Community is approximately six miles west. - Napa County borders the site to the south and east, and Yolo County is approximately five (5) miles northeast of the closest edge of the Guenoc Valley Site boundary. - Santa Clara site: This site is currently undeveloped and is surrounded by medium density residential and commercial uses to the east and south. Dry Creek and an undeveloped area border the site to the north and west. Emergency Services Protection: The South Lake County Fire Protection District (SLCFPD) and Cal Fire would provide fire protection and fire suppression services and the Lake County Sheriff's Office/California Department of Highway Patrol (CHP) to this site. Water Supply: Groundwater will serve the potable water supply and treated wastewater, combined with existing surface water rights, will serve the non-potable water demand. Refer to the Water Supply Assessment (WSA) (Appendix WSA of the Draft EIR (Exhibit Q) and the Water Feasibility Engineering Analysis (Appendix WATER of the Draft EIR (Exhibit Q) for more information. The Callayomi County Water District (CCWD) is proposed to supply potable water to the Middletown Housing Site, pending annexation request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO); the "will serve letter" is provided as Appendix CCWD in the Draft EIR (Exhibit Q). Sewage Disposal: On-site wastewater treatment facilities are proposed to serve the project. See the Wastewater Feasibility report (Appendix WW of the Draft EIR (Exhibit Q). Topography: - Guenoc Valley elevations range from approximately 600 to 1,600 feet above mean sea level (amsl). The property extends primarily over a relatively level valley floor as well as rugged, moderately to steeply sloping terrain. - The Santa Clara site elevation ranges from approximately 1,095 feet above mean sea level (amsl) on the western portion of the site to 1,100 feet amsl on the eastern portion. Soils: See Preliminary Geotechnical Analysis in Appendix GEO of the Draft EIR (Exhibit Q). IV. PROJECT ANALYSIS General Plan Conformance: This request would re-designate the entire site to Resort Commercial. The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Lake County General Plan and the Middletown Area Plan by including resort activities, agricultural production, land stewardship, landscape preservation, outdoor recreational activities, and respect for cultural heritage and social cohesion. Please refer to the General Plan Consistency Table in Appendix GPCT of Draft EIR (Exhibit Q). Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Article 47 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance requires that the Planning Commission review any zoning ordinance amendment, and include in its recommendation, the relationship of the proposed amendment to the Lake County General Plan. As described above, the proposed project includes a General Plan Land Use diagram amendment to allow uses consistent with the Middletown Area Plan, and the project is otherwise consistent with the goals and policies of the Lake County General Plan and the Middletown Area Plan. The establishment of a Guenoc Valley District to allow a mixed use planned development will implement these General Plan policies and the proposed General Plan land use designations. Article 27 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance - Uses Generally Permitted with a Use Permit - Community Club: The purpose of Article 27 subsection (f) is to outline the development procedures to establish a community club, private club, or fraternal organization. The specific requirements are: � Minimum lot area 20,000 square feet, which a six-foot wide buffer strip with visual screening of at least three feet in height on all sides abutting residential districts or uses. � All parking shall be screened to a minimum height of three (3) feet from the view of surrounding residential districts or uses. � The project site shall front on and be served by an existing publicly maintained road. Response: The community clubhouse proposed on the Middletown Housing site is on one acre of land and meets the parking and landscape screening requirements and will be located on a publicly maintained road. Landscaping and parking, and site design are shown on Sheet A.2 of Exhibit 12 of Exhibit B (June 18, 2020 Planning Commission Staff Report). Article 34 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance - Scenic Combining "SC" Combining District: The purpose of the Scenic Combining "SC" Combining District is to protect and enhance views of scenic areas from the County's scenic highways and roadways for the benefit of local residential and resort development, the motoring public, and the recreation based economy of the County. Response: The project is located off Butts Canyon Road, which considered a "Scenic Corridor". According to the applicant's site plan and Specific Plan of Development, all development would be located outside the Scenic Combining District (see Figure 3.2-7 of the DEIR-Exhibit Q). Article 37 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance - Waterway "WW" Combining District: The purpose of Article 37 is to help preserve, protect and restore significant riparian and aquatic systems, streams, woodland habitats, protect water quality, reduce erosion sedimentation runoff and protect the public's health and safety by minimizing dangers due to potential flooding and landslides. Response: The project parcels contain Bucksnort Creek, including unnamed tributaries, both ephemeral and perennial waterways. Pursuant to Article 37, Section 37(b) all development shall be a minimum of thirty (30) feet from the top of bank of perennial streams, and twenty (20) feet from the top of bank of intermittent streams. According to the design guidelines (see Exhibit 9 of Exhibit B-June 18, 2020 PC Staff Report), all infrastructure, except for crossings will be greater than thirty (30) feet from the top of bank of perennial streams, and twenty (20) feet from the top of bank of intermittent streams. Article 36 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance - Floodway Fringe "FF" Combing District: The purpose of Article 36 is to provide land use regulations for properties and their improvements situated in the floodplain to ensure protection from hazards and damage which may result from flood waters. Response: No development or structures proposed on the "FF" zones within the Guenoc Valley site and the Santa Clara housing site. Article 10 - Single-Family Residential or "R1" District: The purpose of Article 10 is to establish areas for individual residential dwelling units at relatively low densities where the traditional neighborhood character of single-family units prevail. Response: As shown in Exhibit 12 of Exhibit B (June 18, 2020 PC Staff Report), the R1 portion of the Middletown Housing Site in Middletown complies with the Single Family Residential (R1) Zoning District development standards: � The proposed single family lots would be approximately 6,050 SF, which is consistent with the zoning ordinance. � Lot size, setbacks, and dwelling sizes are illustrated on Exhibit 12 of Exhibit B (June 18, 2020 PC Staff Report), and comply with the requirements of the Single-Family Residential (R1) Zoning District. � The density fits in with the surrounding land uses. � Once a complete Building Permit Application Packet has been submitted, the Planning Department would perform a Zoning Clearance (ZC) to ensure the proposed use has met all necessary regulations, adheres to the approved project and conducting the necessary site inspections. Article 11 - Two-Family Residential or "R2" District: The purpose of Article 11 is to establish areas for individual residential dwelling units at relatively low densities where the traditional neighborhood character of single-family units prevail. The Two-Family Residential District allow for duplexes with a maximum permitted density of one unit per 4,000 SF.

Draft Resolution Certifying the FEIR, and Adopting CEQA Findings of Fact, Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Guenoc Ranch consists of 69 existing parcels within approximately 16,000 acres of land (refer to Exhibit 1a of Exhibit B-June 18, 2020 Planning Commission Staff Report- which contains a spreadsheet with a detailed description of parcels, APNs, ownership, and parcel size and Exhibit 2a for site and vicinity maps). The Guenoc Ranch is currently under General Plan designations of Agricultural Resource Conservation, Rural Lands, and Rural Residential, and proposed to be Resort Commercial. In addition, the Tentative Subdivision Maps will include "no build" areas to preserve sensitive habitats and environmental constraints. The Tentative Subdivision Map also will include exclusive easements such as utilities and access. The Guenoc Ranch is located on Butts Canyon Road, approximately four miles east of its intersection with Highway 29. The present use of the property includes vineyards, grazing, horse trails, a hunting lodge, and a few residences. The Guenoc Ranch does not include an area of approximately 360 acres which contains the Langtry winery and the Lily Langtry estate home. For the Guenoc Ranch, the applicant is requesting approval of a General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Amendment, Rezone, a General Plan of Development, a Major Use Permit for a Specific Plan of Development (SPOD) to allow a Mixed-Use Commercial Resort and tentative subdivision maps, for which phased final maps would be recorded in the future, and a Development Agreement. The overall approvals would allow a mixed-use development which would include a total of 400 hotel units, 450 resort residential units, and 1,400 residential estate villas at the maximum buildout of the entire proposed Guenoc Valley District (GVD). The first phase of development, as described in the proposed SPOD, requests approval for 127 hotel units, 141 resort residential cottages, 50 temporary workforce hotel units, 20 campsites, 100 workforce housing co-housing units and 401 residential villas In addition, the applicant is requesting approvals related to the Middletown Housing Site (also referred to as the Santa Clara Housing Site), including a rezone of approximately 3.5 acres from Single-Family Residential to Two-Family Residential, a Tentative Subdivision Map, and a use permit for a community center (also referred to as a community clubhouse) to serve the housing site and more than five duplex units within proposed Two-Family Residential zoning area. The Middletown Housing Site is located on 21000 Santa Clara Road, accessed off of Hwy 171, approximately 0.4 miles from its intersection with State Route 29. This property was the subject of a 50-lot subdivision approved in 2006, which has expired; the requested Santa Clara subdivision follows a similar lot layout. It should be noted that the EIR evaluated the construction of a new pipeline within the right of way of Butts Canyon Road from an offsite well property located on the northeast corner of Butts Canyon Road and State Route Highway 29, however the applicant is not requesting any project specific entitlements to install it at this time. II. SUMMARY OF PLANNING COMMISSION HEARINGS On June 18, 2020, the Community Development Department brought the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Commercial Development before the Planning Commission (see Exhibit B which contains the Staff Report and associated exhibits).

7.3Consideration of Cannabis Tax Internal Grant Program Action Item
no itemized roll call in the official record
Staff memo

Date: July 7, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer · Subject: Consideration of Cannabis Tax Internal Grant Program

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): Your Board has previously indicated a desire to create a grant program where cannabis tax revenues could be requested by County departments. Based on past discussion, Staff has outlined a Cannabis Tax Internal Grant Program for implementation. This program would act as a pilot program in fiscal year 2020-2021 that could then be used on a wider scale in the future as revenues increase. Departments may submit a single grant proposal for an amount not to exceed $100,000. All County departments are eligible to apply for the grant funds which will be evaluated by a review panel. The proposals will all be evaluated with priority being given to proposals that support law enforcement, environmental protection, water quality resources, or youth programs relating to drug and alcohol use. Staff has recommended that a total of $500,000 be allocated to this program. The submission deadline for the program will be July 15, 2020, so that the panel review and award process can be completed in sufficient time for your Board to approve the final budget.

Recommended Action

Provide direction to staff to implement the Cannabis Tax Internal Grant Program.

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

7.4Consideration of John T. Klaus Trust and Direction to Staff for Future Efforts Action Item
no itemized roll call in the official record
Staff memo

Date: July 7, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Lars Ewing, Public Services Director · Subject: Consideration of John T. Klaus Trust and Direction to Staff for Future Efforts

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The County of Lake, specifically Lake County Parks and Recreation, is named as the major beneficiary of property and other assets of the John T. Klaus 1994 Trust. Sometime in the 2000s, the trustee coordinated with County staff to work out the terms of the Trust. According to the terms, the County is to use 600+ acres of land in Clearlake Oaks, located generally east and north of the Clearlake Lava rock quarry near the roundabout at Highway 20 and Highway 53, as a new public park. Also included in the estate are funds from other trust assets - which include other off-site properties, bank accounts, and a commercial property lease in the bay area - with the purpose of paying for park improvements and ongoing park maintenance costs. Public Services staff has toured the property and is of the opinion that it is an excellent opportunity for a park, particularly given the dedicated financial resources that come with it. The trustee has provided inventory and appraisal documents that list bank accounts totaling approximately $1.5 million, appraisal values of properties owned by the trust and not yet sold amounting to approximately $650,000, and recurring annual lease income of approximately $127,000 from a property in Livermore that has been leased to an oil change business for over twenty years. The conditions of the Trust include certain restrictions on the use of the property and the funds. First, the name of the park shall be "John T. Klaus Park". Additionally, one-third of the land on the "rear of the property" is to be reserved as a refuge for wildlife, with areas of the rest of the park to be developed for sporting and athletic activities for youth. Furthermore, all funds from the Trust, profits generated by the Trust assets, or fees received from activities at the park are to be used solely for improvement and maintenance costs of the park and are to be held in an account that is not to be commingled with any general County fund or other County parks and recreation fund. Lastly, an independent auditor/accountant is to annually review the account for conformance to these conditions. At this time staff is seeking direction from your Board. Should your Board recommend moving forward with the acceptance of the trust assets, staff proposes to take the following next steps, a number of which will eventually come back to your Board for approval: A. Carry out a property title search B. Establish the appropriate finance mechanisms to accept receipt of the assets C. Prepare a resolution accepting the trust assets D. Initiate the appropriate CEQA review FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted _X_Non-Budgeted Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): TBD FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): TBD STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): TBD How long has Agreement been in place? N/A When was purchase last rebid? N/A

Recommended Action

Direct staff to take the necessary steps to accept the trust assets and initiate park development planning
