LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lakeport City Council this week is scheduled to consider a final subdivision map for a property that is slated to be the site of a large affordable housing development and which a new fire map places in the highest fire severity zone in the city limits.

The council will meet Tuesday, April 1, at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

The meeting on Tuesday will begin with a proclamation designating April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month and a presentation by the Lakeport Rotary Club.

On Tuesday’s agenda, the council will hold a public hearing to adopt a resolution approving the final parcel map for the Parkside Subdivision project, next to Westside Community Park.

The resolution calls for dividing the 15.26-acre property at 1310 Craig Ave. into four separate
residential parcels.

In February, the council adopted a resolution approving the issuance of $35 million in facility bonds to help fund the Parkside project, the first phase of which includes 64 units of affordable housing.

The project has faced fierce opposition from neighbors over the lack of roads going in and out of the area, which already has traffic congestion during events.

In September, the developer promised to build a new vehicle access bridge. However, City Manager Kevin Ingram told Lake County News that the current plan only includes an emergency vehicle access bridge, not a bridge with full vehicle access.

Access is particularly important in light of the release last month of a new Cal Fire fire hazard severity zone map for “Local Responsibility Areas,” including Lakeport. That map added more than 600 acres in the city, including where the Parkside development will be located, to the “very high” fire hazard severity zone.

In other business, the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake will present a slideshow on their activities.

On the consent agenda — items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; minutes of the City Council’s regular meeting on March 18; approval of application 2025-015, with staff recommendations, for the SafeRx Youth Summit event; approval of application 2025-017, with staff recommendations, for the 2025 Health & Wellness Expo; approval of application 2025-018, with staff recommendations, for the Abuelitia’s Kitchen Street Fair; and adoption of a proposed resolution adopting a records retention schedule, and authorizing destruction of certain City records and rescinding Resolution No. 2943 (2024).

The council also will hold a closed session to discuss existing litigation, City of Lakeport et al. v. Amerisourcebergen Drug Corporation et al. and a case involving Amerisourcebergen Drug Corporation.
