On the agenda is Lake Family Resource Center’s application to temporarily relocate its Early Head Start child development center to Clear Lake Baptist Church, located at 555 N. Forbes St.
Late last year, Lake Family Resource Center moved its Lakeport offices and administrative staff from the Vista Point Shopping Center to its new facility at the former Ruzicka Associates building on Parallel Drive.
However, Early Head Start has remained at Vista Point while a temporary location has been set up for it.
“The temporary relocation is necessary to ensure uninterrupted early childhood education and family support services while the organization works toward securing a permanent site,” Associate Planner Victor Fernandez explained in his report.
Fernandez said the site will continue to function as a place of worship for Clear Lake Baptist Church. “However, there will be no operational overlap, as child care activities will occur exclusively on weekdays, while church services and functions are limited to weekends.”
Lake Family Resource Center anticipates minimal impacts on traffic or the surrounding neighborhood and will implement structured drop-off and pick-up procedures to manage circulation, Fernandez said.
In other business, the commission is set to discuss the application from Safeway Inc. for a tentative parcel map to divide a lot at the Willow Tree Shopping Center into two separate legal lots located at 1071 and 979 11th St.
Fernandez’s report said the proposed tentative parcel map will subdivide the existing 12.15-acre developed commercial property currently occupied by the Willow Tree Shopping Center into two legal parcels.
He said the subdivision will create parcel one, approximately 4.63 acres, and parcel two, approximately 7.52 acres, with each parcel containing a portion of the existing shopping center.
“The property is fully developed, and the request does not involve any new development, construction, or intensification of use. Both parcels will continue to share access via the existing driveways from Eleventh Street, and no changes are proposed to the current circulation pattern or site configuration. In addition, the shared infrastructure, including drive aisles, parking areas, drainage systems, and utilities, will remain in place and continue to serve the entire development,” Fernandez wrote.
“This subdivision is being pursued solely for administrative and operational purposes, such as facilitating financial restructuring, enabling the potential future leasing or sale of individual buildings, and allowing for greater flexibility in the long-term property management strategy,” Fernandez’s report said.
The commission also will consider Jonathan Turner’s application to allow a fence in excess of the 3 foot height limitation within the front setback area located at 849 Central Park Ave.
The commission will next meet on July 9.
