CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission is set this week to choose its new leaders for the year and hold a public hearing on a residential project.
The commission will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
An Aug. 5 commission meeting that was to have hosted the hearing and leadership selection was canceled due to lack of quorum.
The rescheduled public hearing is for the purpose of adopting a mitigated negative declaration, extending the use permit, and adding or amending conditions of the project approval for Monte Vista Homes.
Owen O'Donnell and Ashwin Gulati are proposing to build the project at 3595 Old Highway 53.
Project plans call for subdividing the Old Highway 53 parcel into 23 residential and four commercial lots, allowing for duplexes or single family homes.
The Clearlake Planning Commission approved the project's tentative map in January 2008. When O'Donnell in August 2013 sought an extension to the tentative map, city staff discovered that the use permit had expired and that other issues with the project needed to be updated.
Tuesday's agenda also calls for the commission to select its new chair and vice chair for the remainder.
Alvaro Valencia and Bill Perkins serve as the commission's current chair and vice chair, respectively. Al Bernal, Cheryl Hutchinson and Carl Webb also serve on the commission.
