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 proposed Development Agreement provides for public convenience and economic viability for the surrounding community. The Lake County Economic Development Plan 2016 outlines where Lake County should focus efforts to maintain a resilient economy and rebuild due to the devastating wildfires of 2015. In 2015, Lake County suffered three separate wildfires that burned approximately 171,000 acres of wild land, forest, and residential property, and resulted in the cumulative loss of 1,329 homes and damage of over 70 commercial properties. The Economic Development Plan specifically identifies the need to develop more tourist destinations, lodging, and agritourism - all of which are included in the Proposed Project plans. The applicant proposes to develop a portion of the project site into a luxury resort, consisting of hotels, retail and commercial uses, residential housing, and outdoor recreation amenities, including a golf course and equestrian facilities. The Proposed Project incorporates low impact development and open space preservation with an integrative animal husbandry element for fuel reduction management. According to the applicant, one of the project's objectives is to plan for long term growth of the County with a significant fiscal contribution toward the county's community goals of new economic, employment, and housing opportunities. 4. The project will also include fire breaks and a Wildfire Prevention Plan, as well as emergency response and fire center. The emergency response and fire center would be located on the eastern portion of the Guenoc Valley Site near Upper Bohn Lake and include a fire response center, medical staff, and a helipad dedicated for emergency purposes. The fire response center would house firefighting equipment and fire engines and serve as a headquarter space in case of emergency. 5. The proposed Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare. A detailed analysis of hazards is included in the EIR for the project (Exhibit Q), especially Section 3.8 - Hazards and Section3.16 - Wildfire.

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). 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.

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 Economic Development Plan specifically identifies the need to develop more tourist destinations, lodging, and agritourism - all of which are included in the Proposed Project plans. The applicant proposes to develop a portion of the project site into a luxury resort, consisting of hotels, retail and commercial uses, residential housing, and outdoor recreation amenities, including a golf course and equestrian facilities. The Proposed Project incorporates low impact development and open space preservation with an integrative animal husbandry element for fuel reduction management.

Staff memo

Date: July 28, 2020 · To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Rob Howe, Chief Probation Officer · Subject: Approve Agreement between the County of Lake and the County of Tehama to house Lake County Juvenile Wards.

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): Lake County has contracted with Tehama County to house juvenile wards since September of 2017. In November of 2019, your Board signed an amendment to that agreement adjusting the daily rate. That amendment was short term (8 months) from August 1, 2019 to March 30, 2020. After completing that amendment, I began discussions with Tehama County to secure a longer term, more secure agreement. Tehama County agreed to extend the agreement for two years with the same daily rate ($150.00) as in the aforementioned amendment. As mentioned, the previous amendment expired on March 30, 2020. I apologize for getting this extension to your Board late; however, there were delays I believe to be out of our control. I completed this agreement, had it signed by Lake County Counsel and hand delivered it to Tehama County's Chief Probation Officer, Richard Muench, on February 26, 2020. He later informed me there would be a delay getting it before his Board and that it would not be on an agenda until early April. It was approved by the Tehama County Board of Supervisors on April 3, 2020 (minute order attached). Despite numerous requests to get the signed copies back, we experienced several delays. It should be noted, this took place during the Covid 19 pandemic and was presumably something that got set aside or temporarily lost in the turmoil. Although Chief Muench acknowledged the delays and personally guaranteed there would be no interruption or change in service, I felt it would be advisable to make alternative housing arrangements for our youth until this agreement could be fully executed. We have gradually found alternatives and currently do not have any wards in Tehama's Juvenile Hall. I finally received the original copies back during the week of July 10th. I am looking forward to getting this agreement approved to resume our normal procedure. This agreement simply reflects a term extension (2 years) with no other changes to compensation or conditions. It was already budgeted for and does not reflect any additional fiscal or staffing impact. Which exemption is being requested? The unique nature of the goods or services precludes competitive bidding How long has Agreement been in place? Since September of 2017

Recommended Action

Approve Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign.

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

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): Attached, for your approval, is the Agreement between the County of Lake and Elijah House for temporary COVID-19 shelter operations after the existing shelter closes. Lake County Behavioral Health Services submitted a request for proposals soliciting an organization(s) to take over operations of the COVID-19 homeless shelter. The existing shelter is slated to close July 31, 2020. The proposal asked for temporary oversight of the shelter after its closure (to be potentially housed at the old juvenile hall facility in Lakeport) until the Hope Center transitional housing project opens this Fall. The plan then would be to move residents from the temporary shelter to Hope Center. One proposal was received and approved by the proposal selection committee. The successful bid was submitted by Elijah House, a non-profit organization headquartered in Oroville, California. Elijah House provides substance use disorder and mental health services, in addition to operating residential sober living housing. Monies to operate the shelter will come from the existing Continuum of Care Homeless Housing and Prevention grant as allowed by the State for such COVID-19-related activities.

Recommended Action

Approve the Agreement between the County of Lake and Elijah House for temporary COVID-19 shelter operations for FY 2020-21, for a contract maximum of $234,550.00 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement.
