CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council will hold a public hearing this week to consider making Pomo Road a one-way street.

The hearing will take place during the Clearlake City Council's regular meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive in Clearlake.

The council is considering the proposal because of public concerns expressed about children walking to and from school on the road.

The public hearing will provide residents of the area and other citizens an opportunity to provide their input.

The second reading of an ordinance prohibiting commercial medical marijuana cultivation and other related regulations also is set to take place.

The council has been working with the document since spring. It passed its first reading, with additional verbiage changes, on Sept. 12.

If the ordinance passes its second reading, regulations are to become effective Jan. 1, 2014.

The council also is to consider a temporary street closure for the "Trunk or Treat" event on Oct. 31 at Austin Park, as well as amending an urgency ordinance extending a temporary building moratorium on Lakeshore Drive between Olympic Drive and Old Highway 53 an additional three months.
