Lowe's discussion to be pushed back to Feb. 11

CLEARLAKE – The Clearlake City Council's discussion and decision on whether to approve a regional shopping center plan that includes a Lowe's home improvement center at the Pearce Airport property on Highway 53 is being delayed once more.


The issue won't be heard until Feb. 11, according to City Administrator Dale Neiman. It was set to be on the Clearlake City Council agenda for this Thursday, Jan. 28.


The council, following a lengthy public hearing on Jan. 7, was planning to consider the issue on Jan. 14, but Neiman asked for a delay, citing the need for city staff to respond to all written comments submitted during the 30-day public comment period, as Lake County News has reported.


That's when it was set for Jan. 28, but Neiman once again asked for it to be pushed back, again pointing to the need to complete the responses to public comments.


“We want to make sure we cover all the bases and there were a lot of comments that came in just before the public hearing and during the hearing,” Neiman told Lake County News.


The city's redevelopment agency is proposing to spend more than $6 million in redevelopment funding to make improvements to the airport site to allow the center to be developed there. KK Raphel Properties LLC of Danville.


The center would be anchored by a Lowe's store with more than 111,000 square feet of indoor space and an outdoor garden center of just over 25,000 square feet. There would be four other commercial tenants, projected to be fast food and sitdown restaurants.
