Council to delay Lowe's decision to Jan. 28

CLEARLAKE – The Clearlake City Council, which had planned to make a decision on the Lowe's shopping center plan at the Pearce Airport property at its meeting this Thursday, is instead expected to discuss the matter later this month.


The council is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, for its regular meeting. They will meet in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.


The Lowe's discussion – including a council decision on whether to do a full environmental impact report and approval of a disposition and development agreement between the city and KK Raphel Properties LLC for the property located on Highway 53 – are included on the Thursday meeting's consent agenda.


City Clerk Melissa Swanson said Monday that the items were listed in that way because staff was asking to delay the discussion.


No reason was given Monday for the delay, although at the council and redevelopment agency's special meeting on Jan. 7 City Administrator Dale Neiman said city staff needed to write letters to everyone who had commented on the plan's mitigated negative declaration before a decision was made. He was uncertain at that time if they could accomplish that by the Thursday meeting.


Other items on the agenda for Thursday include consideration of potential conflicts of interest on the proposed amendment for the Clearlake Redevelopment Agency's redevelopment plan, and consideration of establishing a redevelopment project area committee related to the redevelopment plan amendment.


The council also is scheduled to consider authorizing the city to be added to the Energy Policy Council's letterhead, discuss saving California's streets and consider authorization related to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) payment required by state legislation.
