CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission will meet this week to discuss a proposed duplex project.
The commission will meet beginning at 6 p.m., Jan. 7, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
At the Tuesday meeting the commission will consider a resolution approving a use permit for the duplex project, which is proposed by Steve Holmstrom.
The meeting also will include a public hearing to consider the approval of a notice of determination of a mitigated negative declaration of environmental impact based on an initial study on the project.
Holmstrom wants to construct 6 duplexes – for a total of 12 residences – on six parcels at 3642 Old Highway 53; 3710 and 3720 Park Road; and 3715, 3717 and 3719 Hill Drive, according to Deputy City Clerk Julie Burrow's report to the commission.
The properties in question are located in a resource protection zone, with five parcels currently vacant and the sixth containing one single family residence that will remain, the report explained.
“The proposed project would create 12 residential units in an area which is already substantially developed with residential and commercial uses,” Burrow reported.
Burrow's report also notes that the project has been determined to be consistent with the city's zoning ordinance and general plan.
At the Tuesday meeting the commission also will receive an update on the city's draft general plan.
