LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Planning Commission will hold a special meeting this week to review a proposal for a new affordable senior housing project.
The meeting will take place beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 24, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
The main item on the agenda is the architectural and design review and California Environmental Quality Act environmental review of a proposed 32-unit senior affordable housing apartment project proposed by AMG & Associates of Encino.
The firm proposes to build the project on a portion of a 10.5-acre parcel owned by Lakeport Christian Center and located at 1255 Martin St., near the Lake County Sheriff's Office administration building.
AMG & Associates has one other senior housing project under its belt in Lakeport so far – the 48-unit Bella Vista senior apartment complex just down the road at 1075 Martin St.
Company officials told the Lakeport City Council on May 5 that the Bella Vista project has been so well-received that it has a waiting list of more than a year.
The council on May 5 approved staff undertaking an expedited review process to help the project's developer pursue a state grant to fund the complex. The council last week supported the submission of that $4.6 million state HOME grant application.
The commission also will discuss scheduling its next meeting for July 8.
