Clearlake City Council to consider zoning ordinance changes Thursday

CLEARLAKE – Proposed changes to the city's zoning ordinance will go to the Clearlake City Council on Thursday.


The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.


The council will hold a public hearing to consider updates to the city's zoning ordinance.


City Administrator Dale Neiman's report to the council said that the ordinance needs to be changed in a number of ways to make it clearer, raise productivity and reduce duplication. He said the 33-page ordinance has been reduced to 12 pages in the revision process.


Former District 1 Supervisor Ed Robey and Lower Lake attorney Ron Green have submitted a memorandum to the council, suggesting numerous changes to the proposed document.


Those changes include adding back a paragraph on “uses not otherwise provided for” that city staff recommends be stricken, and suggestions regarding hearing procedures, what to do in the case that the Clearlake Planning Commission doesn't render a decision on an application, conclusiveness of decisions, and nonconforming uses and structures.


In other news, the council will consider awarding the second phase of the city's collector street improvement project and discuss the submission of a grant application to improve Redbud Park.


Council members also are expected to consider adopting a public nuisance and building abatement loan program, will consider a Clearlake Planning Commission report on the redevelopment plan's proposed amendment and a legal opinion on the election procedures.
