CLEARLAKE – The Clearlake City Council is due to continue is public hearing and discussion of the Provinsalia housing development this Thursday.

The council meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. TV Channel 8 will broadcast the meeting live.

On Feb. 12 the council held its first hearing on Provinsalia, devoting about three hours to the project, which Lake County Resort Partners Inc. proposes to build on 292 acres along Cache Creek at 17012, 17055 and 17065 Dam Road. The project would include a nine-hole golf course, 565 single-family homes and 100 condominiums.

Before the council is the certification of the project's draft and final environmental impact report, amending the general plan land use designation from managed development-resource protection area to specific plan, adopting the draft Provinsalia Specific Plan and rezoning the property from resource protection to specific plan. The Clearlake Planning Commission voted Dec. 16 to support the council's approval of the project.

If the council approves the project, City Administrator Dale Neiman is asking them to give him authorization to execute an indemnification agreement with Lake County Resort Partners Inc., which also is on the agenda Thursday.

The agreement calls for Lake County Resort Partners to provide the defense in the event any litigation arises over Provinsalia.

In other business set for consideration on Thursday, the council will discuss assessments and administrative penalties on several abatement cases, and look at authorizing nuisance abatements on several other properties.

The council also will make a presentation to Ed Robey, retired District 1 supervisor and a former Clearlake City Council member; and hear a presentation by Terri Persons of the Lake County/City Area Planning Council on the Lake County 2030 Regional Blueprint Planning Program.
