CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission will meet this week to hold a study session on a proposed motel expansion project.

The commission will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.

On the agenda is a study session on the architecture and design for a future proposal to expand the motel at Clearlake Cottages, 13885 Lakeshore Drive.

The staff report for the discussion explains that the proposal is to construct three new two-story cottage buildings within an existing motel development that currently has 16 single-story building units for a total of 18 motel units.

The three new buildings – which would feature new, modern architecture – would total 3,000 square feet for an additional six motel units, the report said.

No action is to be taken as the meeting’s purpose is to study and review the design concepts for a future project application, according to staff.

Commission members are Chair Dirk Slooten and Vice Chair Russ Cremer, and commissioners Nathalie Antus, Richard Bean and Carl Webb.
