STAFF REPORT
RE: Appeal of Planning Commission Denial of Categorical MEETING DATE: 08/15/2017
Exemption for Cross Development Application for
Architectural and Design Review for Dollar General Store at
1405 South Main Street
The City Council is being asked to consider an appeal of the Planning Commissions denial of the use of a
Categorical Exemption associated with an Architectural and Design Review application (AR 17-02) for Cross
Developments proposal to construct a 9,100 square foot general retail building (Dollar General) and associated
improvements on property located at 1405 South Main Street.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Lakeport Planning Commission, at its regular meeting of July 12, 2017 held a public hearing for the
consideration of an Architectural and Design Review Permit (AR 17-02) and associated California Environmental
Quality Action (CEQA) Categorical Exemption (CE 17-04) for the construction of a new 9,100 square foot Dollar
General retail store located at 1405 South Main Street. Following the conclusion of the public hearing, the
Planning Commission by a vote of 3-2 denied staffs recommendation to approve a CEQA categorical exemption
for the project and directed staff to prepare an Environmental Review/Initial Study.
Municipal Code Section 17.31.040 outlines the procedures related to an appeal of a Planning Commission decision
to the City Council and indicates that the applicant or affected persons not satisfied with the decision of the
Planning Commission may file an appeal. An appeal of the July 12, 2017 Planning Commission decision was filed
by the applicant on July 17, 2017 within the requisite time frame set forth in Municipal Code Section 17.31.040 A.
Municipal Code Section 17.31.040 D indicates that following the submittal of an appeal application, the Lakeport
City Council shall conduct a public hearing on the matter and that the public hearing shall be on the record and
all affected persons may appear and present evidence.
Municipal Code Section 17.31.040 C requires the pertinent application materials to be provided to the City
Council, including the reasons for the decisions made by the Planning Commission. In addition to the appeal
filed by the applicant (Attachment 1), staff has attached a variety of application materials to this staff report
including the Findings of Fact and Minute Order from the July 12, 2017 Planning Commission hearing (Attachment
2) and the staff report provided to the Planning Commission (Attachment 3) including its associated attachments.
Municipal Code Section 17.31.040 E stipulates that within 30 days after the close of the hearing, the City Council
may sustain or overturn the Planning Commission decision, or may grant or modify an application subject to
conditions it imposes, or may revoke or deny the permit.
The subject of the appeal concerns the decision by the Planning Commission that the use of the Infill Development
Categorical Exemption as set-forth in Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines as recommended by staff, was not
appropriate for this project and an Environmental Review/Initial Study should be prepared.
As part of its analysis staff found that the Project as proposed satisfies al five qualifiers outlined in Section 15332
of the CEQA Guidelines and made the recommendation that the Planning Commission find the Project to be
categorically exempt from CEQA.
In accordance with Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines an infill development project qualifies for a Categorical
Exemption if it:
1. is consistent with the general plan designation and policies as well as with the zoning designation and
regulations
The project is located upon property which is designated by the General Plan as Major Retail which is defined
in the General Plan as the principal retail designation for the Lakeport area; the place for regional and local
serving retail establishments(Land Use Element, page II-2). The zoning designation for the property is C-2,
Major Retail which permits general retail stores as a permitted use (Section 17.10.030(A)). Staff also found
that the Project was consistent with specific objectives of the General Plan in that it encourages commercial
development, fostering economic growth, reducing land consumption, and complimenting adjacent land uses
(Objective CD-2) and additionally promotes business activity (Objective ED 2).
2. occurs within city limits on a project sire of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses;
The project is sited within the City Limits on a vacant parcel of slightly less than two (2) acres in size.
Surrounding land uses are urban in nature and include a general retail shopping center to the north, residential
mobile home park to the east, and self-storage establishments to the south and west.
In accordance with California Department of Fish and Wildlifes Natural Diversity Database, this subject
development site contains no known rare or endangered species. Additionally, the project does not contain
any natural streams, wetlands, or riparian vegetation which would lead staff to require additional biological
or botanical assessment of the site.
4. would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and
During the course of review for this Project, the applicant submitted several site specific studies and staff
consulted with several public agencies and ultimately determined that this project would not result in any
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality
Traffic: The applicant commissioned a traffic impact analysis prepared by a traffic engineer which
determined that the project would add only an incremental impact of one (1) percent to area traffic.
Noise: Community Development staff found that expected noise related to the proposed use were
consisted with surrounding uses and would not result in the generation of noise inconsistent with
performance standards outlined in Section 17.28.010(A) of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to noise.
The Public Works Department reviewed the project and determined that adequate municipal water and sewer
services are available to the serve the project.
Sewer: A 12 inch gravity sewer is located on South Main Street at the intersection with Kimberly
Lane. The gravity sewer then flows towards the lift station at Lakeport Boulevard and Main Street
and then to the lift station at Larrecou Lane near the Citys Corporation Yard and finally out to the lift
station at Linda Lane before being treated at the our Wastewater Plant. All of these lift stations
currently have adequate capacities for handling existing and future flows. According to the 2008
master plan, the Wastewater Plant ADWF(Average Dry Weather Flow) capacity is .51 MGD. In 2016
the Citys ADWF was .46 MGD. This would provide a remaining capacity of approximately 250
Residential Unit Equivalents (RUEs).
Water A 14 inch DIP water line is located on South Main Street at the intersection with Kimberly
Lane. This provides plenty of capacity for domestic and commercial use including fire protection. The
City municipal water supply consists of a 1.73 MGD surface water plant and (4) ground water wells
which can contribute an additional 2.3 MGD. The average day of the Citys peak year was .79
MGD. Supplies are very adequate and we also have 2.5 million gallons of elevated storage for
emergencies.
The Planning Commission ultimately disagreed with the analysis by staff and found that the use of a Categorical
Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 was not adequate and made the following findings:
1. Section 17.27.060(A) of the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance outlines the requirements for site plans to be
submitted as part of an Architectural and Design Review Application. Among the items listed, the submitted
site plan by the applicant did not include the following listed features:
location and size(s) of water and sewer lines
storm drainage facilities
fire hydrants
2. Section 17.27.060(D) of the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance further outlines the requirement that [a] grading
plan indicating existing and proposed grades (contours) on the site, retaining wall, or other soil stability
issues be submitted as part of an Architectural and Design Review Application. The application packet
submitted by the applicant did not include the submittal of a grading plan.
3. Members of the Planning Commission expressed concern regarding the adequacy of the Traffic Impact
Analysis, prepared by KD Anderson & Associates, Inc. (March 2014), specifically in regards to the existing
traffic conditions at the intersections of South Main Street & Kimberly Lane and South Main Street &
Lakeport Boulevard. Conclusions noted in the KD Anderson study should be further reviewed as part of an
initial study.
4. Members of the Planning Commission expressed concern regarding the number of recommendations
outlined in the project specific Geotechnical Engineering Services Report, prepared by Professional Service
5. Members of the Planning Commission noted that the proposal for a new 9,100 square foot general retail
store would have impacts upon existing general retail uses in the area. Analysis of these impacts should be
further examined through the preparation of a CEQA Initial Study.
The applicant has submitted a written response to the appeal application along with related supplemental
information. These materials are attached to this staff report as Attachment #2.

Public hearing opened at 6:09 p.m. Applicant Joe Dell spoke in favor of the project.
Mr. Dell asked to clarify the Project Conditions of Approval.
Mr. Dell asked for clarification on conditions #23 & 24 on applicability of Sewer and
Water expansion fees. Chance advised they would be applicable.
Regarding condition 34 which states The final building plans shall include a faade
addition similar to the front and side faade, along the first 25-feet of south elevation.
Mr. Dell stated the landscaping in that location is significant and will block
predominately anything that is going to be done to the particular build; corner. Mr. Dell
asked if they could avoid doing that as a cost effectiveness with the landscaping that
will hide it. Ingram stated staff came to the same conclusion, if the commission felt
comfortable they could strike it out of the condition entirely.
Regarding #40 Mr. Dell clarified the business license would be maintained by Dollar
General not Cross Development. He asked if that condition could be reworded to state
Dollar General shall maintain a City of Lakeport business license.
Commissioner Russell stated she would like to see more trees added to the landscape
plan. Ingram stated that Project Condition Agreement #27 which states The final
landscape plan shall extend the landscaping along frontage of South Main Street
extending to the northerly property. Ingram advised this condition only addresses the
north end of the property but the Commission could amend to add other areas. Mr.

Dell advised he is not opposed to adding more trees as suggested, however would like
to come to an agreement of how many trees.
Lakeport resident and business owner, Nancy Ruzicka, Lake County resident Ed Robey,
and Lakeport resident Christine Hutt spoke against the project citing concerns related
to additional traffic, specifically to the South Main/Lakeport Boulevard intersection.
Additional comments were made pertaining to the location of nearly a half dozen or
more of these stores around the entire county and how that was having a negative
impact upon existing local businesses.
Commissioner Froio advised he was generally against the project for several reasons,
potential traffic issues, taking away business from other businesses, and proposed
location of the business. Froio advised he was interested in hearing additional
information on how these issues might be resolved.
Commissioner Wicks advised he respectfully disagreed with staffs assumption that the
project does not require an Initial Study. Wicks stated per the Lakeport Municipal Code
this project requires the submittal of a grading plan. Wicks advised a grading plan
would speak to the storm drain and the run-off concerns but these plans were not
provided. Wicks stated there is a huge volume of information speaking to
geotechnical, traffic, historical information, and there was a lot of conditions for
mitigation that he believed should trigger the completion of an Initial Study.
Chair Taylor stated he didnt quite understand Commissioner Wicks position on the
CEQA exemption and whether that meant he was not in favor of the project. Wicks
stated no, what he was indicating was that the General Plan and Architectural and
Design are separate discussions from CEQA. Furthermore, Wicks mentioned he needed
to see the study of potential economic impacts to existing local businesses as a result of
this.
Wicks inquired as to why staff did not request the submittal of a grading plan as
required by the Lakeport Municipal Code. Community Development Director Ingram
stated staff discussed that matter specifically with the City Engineer, asking what his
concerns were. Ingram advised the City Engineer stated there would only be minor
impacts that were not going to affect the design layout, with plenty of room on a flat
site to accommodate storm water control features. Ingram stated that grading was
going to be minimal and he felt comfortable in providing conditions to bring those into
compliance. Associate Planner Chance further added that grading plans would be
required at the time of submittal of a building permit application.
Wicks stated in his interpretation of CEQA this project leans more on the side of an Initial
Study then an exemption.
Green stated that even if there was an Initial Study it would not yield new information
and the Commission would be left reviewing the same condition. Green further stated
ATTACHMENT 1
that he did not believe any substantial evidence had been brought up that made use
of the infill CEQA exemption inappropriate.
Chair Taylor stated its a big project and not enough time had been provided to review
all the information provided. Taylor advised he would recommend to postpone the
project to a later meeting so they could get more time to review provided information
and get any questions answered.
Green stated procedurally he understand what was being asked, but at the end of the
day an Initial Study is prepared he did not think anything would change. Green stated
instead of the current CEQA exemption they would have a Mitigated Negative
Declaration based on the project findings that they have in front of them.
Wicks stated that one thing that would change would be the agency review
comments from the different organizations that couldnt comment on the project
because there were no grading or storm water information provided on the site plans or
complete plans to review.
Public hearing re-opened at 7:24 p.m. Applicant Joe Dell spoke for the project.
Mr. Dell stated at the end of the day the decision tonight was for an Architectural and
Design review. Mr. Dell advised he understood they dont feel its CEQA exempt,
however the Citys General Plan and Ordinance stated it is. Wicks stated it is not a
personal decision but it is strictly the letter of CEQA and it states if the Planning
Commission is the lead agency responsible for determining the appropriate level of
CEQA review.
Mr. Dell stated if there is a denial under CEQA then there has to be a specific finding for
the denial, it cant be that you dont agree with it. Mr. Dell stated he doesnt know if
there was much more information to be found. Wicks stated that the Lakeport
Municipal Code states for a project of this size they should have a grading plan.
Associate Planner Chance advised the location is a flat lot and staff wouldnt require a
grading plan when there is no topography that would require significant amounts of
grading. Ingram advised staff sat down with the project Engineer with Public Works and
looked at those issues and what would be necessary and that is what triggered the
conditions that are specific to storm water, grading, and drainage.
Wicks asked why the Commission was provided a traffic study if the project is
considered exempt from CEQA. Ingram stated if you look at the findings of the reports
provided there was no impact. Ingram stated just the presence of studies doesnt
mean it rises to the level of needing an Initial Study. Ingram advised that the
Commission was completely in their right to think not enough information has been
provided, however staff needed help on additional information the Commission felt
necessary in order to feel comfortable with the CEQA exemption or the requiring of an
Initial Study.
Commissioner Green asked staff if the applicant had to do an Initial Study, how much
extra time would it add to the project? Ingram advised they would have to send it
ATTACHMENT 1
Mr. Dell stated if the Commission continued for further discussion then he would love to
bring his CEQA attorney back with him and speak to this. Mr. Dell stated he would also
like City Council to weigh in because the City Ordinances are pretty straight forward for
what they are going through and believes its a stretch to say an Initial Study is required.
Ingram asked Commissioner Wicks whether the issue was the missing information that
reduces his level of confidence in making a decision as to the applicability of a
Categorical Exemption or was he just saying regardless of if the applicant submitted a
grading plan or additional storm water issues that he believed the project requires an
Initial Study in his opinion? Wicks stated that in his opinion this project requires an Initial
Study not simply because of the storm water but because there was an economic
impact to other general retailers and upon the community as a whole.
Mr. Dell stated he was not a CEQA attorney however he had done this enough in Lake
County that when CEQA is brought up economics are not taken into account as part of
an Initial Study. Chance advised the General Plan had an EIR prepared for it and
subsequent the consistency with the Zoning and General Plan addressed all the issues
at that time. Ingram further stated an analysis of economic impacts in not done as part
of an Initial Study, but rather as part of an EIR when warranted.
Commissioner Froio stated he was going with what he felt. He got his packet Thursday
night and he went through the packet but had more work to do. Mr. Dell stated he
respected that and hoped the Commission would help them understand what work
there was to do. Froio advised they needed a little more time to figure that out.
Ingram stated he agreed with the applicant in needing more information from the
Commission on what they would like to see to address their concerns. Ingram stated he
would look into making sure the Citys legal counsel is available if the matter is to be
continued and it sounded like the applicant was interested in bringing their counsel in
as well. Ingram believed that was a preferable alternative to making a decision of yes
or no on the CEQA determination, its fairer to the applicant and the Commission as
well.
Commissioner Green stated he would disagree, when the public hearing is closed he
would call the question on the CEQA determination. Green advised he did not think it
was a lack of reading time that is the issue he thought they had a fundamental policy
issue. Green stated if they called the question and voted yes great, if voted down
the applicant could move with an appeal to the City Council and have this same
discussion with the attorneys at the ultimate policy board that was going to make that
final decision.
Commissioner Green stated he did not believe there was any substantial evidence that
would warrant not approving a Categorical exemption for the project.
Commissioner Green moved that the Planning Commission find that AR 17-02 as applied
for by Cross Development, LLC, is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15332 of the
CEQA Guidelines. Seconded by Commissioner Wicks.
ABSENT: None
Mr. Dell asked if the denial of the CEQA was appealable to the City Council. Mr. Ingram
stated the decision was appealable.
Mr. Dell stated for him to make an informed decision, because there is a time limit to
appeal, he would need specific requirements from the Commission on why it was denied
and what information they want so he could make a decision to continue and answer
those questions or he could appeal to the City Council.
Ingram stated there was information provided within the proceedings record stating the
Commissions reasoning for requiring an Initial Study. Staff would provide those formal
findings to the applicant as soon as possible.

CITY OF LAKEPORT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUESTED ACTION: The Planning Commission is being asked to review and approve
an application for an Architectural and Design Review for the construction and
development of a 9,100 square foot commercial retail building on a vacant lot at the
corner of South Main Street and Kimberly Lane.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DISTRICT: The subject property is designated Major Retail
District according to the City of Lakeport General Plan Land Use Map and is within the
C-2, Major Retail zoning district according to the City Zoning Map. A retail store is a
permitted use within the C-2 zoning district.
Section 17.27.020 of the Municipal Code indicates that an Architectural and Design
Review is required for all new commercial buildings. No building permit or other
entitlement for a new commercial building shall be issued until the site plan; the
AR 17-02 ATTACHMENT

architectural elevations and related plans have been reviewed and approved by
either the Planning Commission as provided for in the Zoning Ordinance.
Based on the scale and scope of the project, staff determined the proposed project
would require approval by the Planning Commission for the Architectural and Design
Review (17.27.030.D).
Review of the Architectural and Design Review standards, the proposed commercial
retail building adds design elements, character, landscaping and improvements to the
overall design of the South Main Street commercial area.
As proposed, the allowance for the commercial retail building and related
improvements at this site are consistent with the following objectives of the General
Plan:
Objective CD-2 of the General Plan encourages commercial development
designs which foster economic growth, reduce land consumption, and
compliment adjacent land uses(Page V-11)
Objective ED 2 of the General Plan which seeks to: provide support for the
promotion of businesses(Page VI-3)
The current project as proposed incorporates Nodal Commercial Development
encouraged in the General Plan. Nodal Commercial Development includes
locating the building to the front of the property, locating the parking to the side
or rear, and create a streetscape that improves the visual aesthetic quality.
(Page V-6)
(Note) Dollar General has been involved in a number of appeals in the unincorporated
areas of Lake County which raises the need for clarification between the approval
processes associated with the County and the City. The Countys approval process for
various Dollar General store locations included greater discretionary action on the part
of the County based on the fact that due the size of the proposed structures triggered
a Use Permit in addition to design review. In the case of the City of Lakeport,
Commercial retail in the C-2 (Major Retail) is a permitted use determined to be
appropriate by the Zoning Ordinance and does not include a building size limitation.
At this time, the design of the structure is the only reviewable issue associated with this
project, and is addressed as part of the Architectural and Design Review application.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to construct a commercial retail
building at 1405 South Main Street at the corner of South Main Street and Kimberly
Lane. The 81,800 square foot parcel is currently vacant. The proposal consists of
constructing a 9,100 square foot commercial retail building. The building would be one-
story, with a height of 23 feet. The use of the building would be for a Dollar General
retail store. The building would be located upon the southeast corner of the lot
adjacent to the South Main Street and Kimberly Lane intersection, with the parking
located along the side of the building. The project includes 36 Parking spaces and
landscaping. Vehicular access to the property would be from South Main Street and
Kimberly Lane. The developable area associated with this project would
beapproximately 36,000 square feet (building, parking, sidewalk, and landscaping)
with the remaining 46,000 square feet of the lot remaining undeveloped.

ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN REVIEW DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS: Section 17.27.110 of the
Zoning Ordinance sets forth the Architectural and Design Review criteria and standards
by which the Community Development Department and Planning Commission shall
evaluate projects for compliance. The Planning Commission has the authority to
require conditions as necessary to attain compliance with the standards of the
Architectural and Design Review requirements outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. The
following is an analysis of project compliance with required criteria which includes
some discussion on areas where staff has recommended the inclusion of project
conditions.
As presented in the submitted application packet (Attachment C), the proposed
building maintains an architectural design which is consistent and compatible with
other surrounding uses. Additionally, staff believes that this project will improve the
overall aesthetic quality of development in this area of South Main Street. The
attached plans depict the proposed buildings four elevations that add a modern
design while maintaining the commercial integrity of the buildings in the immediate
area.

creates an aesthetic improvement to the South Main Street commercial district. Staff
believes the proposed colors are consistent with Section 17.27.110.A which promotes
harmony and compatibility. Staff does have some concerns with the southerly
elevation; this area would be viewed by vehicles driving northbound on South Main
Street and Kimberly Lane. The applicant has added an additional trellis, however staff is
concerned that a trellis at this location would not be adequate. Staff has added a
condition that a faade (architecturally similar to the north and east side faade) be
located along the front of the building and extending approximately twenty feet on
that side. The recommended frontage change shall not include any signage. The
proposed recommended faade change together with proposed landscaping will
adequately provide an aesthetically pleasing visual break on an otherwise blank wall
face.
Signage: The current sign proposal includes three signs: 1) An 8 foot high double-faced
freestanding pylon sign with 50 square feet of signage proposed for each sign face (a
total of 100 square feet)to be located near the South Main Street driveway entry of the
site; 2) a 48 square foot building mounted sign on the east elevation of the building
facing South Main Street; and, 3) a 48 square foot building mounted sign on the north
building elevation facing the parking area.
Section 17.52.050 of the Citys Municipal Code (Sign Ordinance), permits one (1)
building mounted sign not to exceed 50 square feet in total size and one (1) free
standing sign not exceeding 25 feet in height and having more than 50 square feet of
signage on any one face for individual stand-alone retail operations in the C-2 zoning
district. Additionally, Planning Commission Resolution No. 46adopted in accordance
for mounted signs for retail operations in the C-2 zoning district on corner lots permits
two (2) building mounted signs, but does still limits the total amount of building mounted
signage to 50 square feet along each frontage.

Landscape Plan
The project includes a trash enclosure at the west side of the parking lot adjacent to
Kimberly Lane. The trash enclosure would be conditioned to match the existing building
(Condition 31). The project would be conditioned to provide bike racks adjacent to
the building (Condition 32). The project would be required to extend the pedestrian
walkway from the building entry to the sidewalk along South Main Street to provide
connectivity in pedestrian access. That walkway would have to meet ADA accessibility
requirements (Condition 33). Exterior lighting includes downlit lights on the building and
two pole lights. The two pole lights located along the north and west side of the parking
lot. All lighting would be conditioned to be downlit and have no offsite glare.
Parking: Under the Parking Ordinance 17.23.050, commercial retail requires one parking
space for every 250-square feet. Under this criteria, the project would require 36-
parking spaces, while the proposed project provides 36-parking spaces (2-parking
spaces are ADA accessible). The plans identify all of the parking spaces to be 9-feet
by 20-feet (the Citys standard size) with no compact parking Included. The drive aisles
would be 36-feet and 40-feet; the City standard for two-way traffic is a minimum of 24-
feet. The parking and interior circulation associated with this project is consistent with
the regulations outlined in the Parking Ordinance.
Traffic/Circulation: A Traffic Study was prepared for the project that evaluated the
potential impacts of the existing traffic volumes, project generated traffic volumes and
cumulative traffic volumes. Under the General Plan, intersection improvements require
a Level of Service C during AM and PM peak hour times. The traffic associated with the
proposed commercial retail building added to the existing traffic counts at the two
intersections (Lakeport Blvd/South Main St. and Kimberly Lane/South Main St.) will not
significantly increase the AM and PM Peak Hour beyond Level of Service C, and would
not have an overall impact on the vehicular circulation in the South Main Street
corridor. The cumulative impact of those intersections would be impacted with or
without the project, with the project adding an incremental impact of 1% increase as
projected, based on projections identified in the General Plan.

Cultural Resources: An Archeological and Historical Study was prepared for the
property, which included an onsite survey and one auger boring on the property. That
onsite reconnaissance did not identify the presence of cultural resources on the
property and review of archival records did not identify historic or cultural resources on
the property. Since identified cultural resources have been located in the City in the
past, staff would add our standard conditions (Conditions 7, 8. 9 & 10) that require a
tribal monitor during any significant trenching or grading, as well as established
procedures if cultural resources are identified.
Agency Review Comments: The submitted plans were provided to the Building Official,
City Engineer, City Public Works, Environmental Health, Lakeport Disposal, Scotts Valley
and Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Air Quality Management, Lake County Transit,

The conditions of approval would address many of the concerns raised, while other
concerns raised would be addressed as part of the Building Permit process. Project
Conditions of Approval and vicinity map are attached.
Required Findings: Section 17.27.080 requires the Planning Commission to make specific
findings in its approval of an Architectural and Design Review application. Staff
reviewed all of the criteria applicable to this project and has determined that the
proposed improvements are in compliance with the Architectural and Design Review
standards as set forth in the Municipal Code and recommends the following findings be
made:
Finding 1: The proposed project is consistent with the purpose of the Lakeport Zoning
Ordinance. The property is zoned C-2, Major Retail which allows commercial retail. The
project as proposed is consistent with the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance.
Finding 2: The project is in substantial compliance with the design criteria. The design,
materials and color of the building will incorporate a modern design, with various
articulations in the linear design to provide character to the building, and would reflect
a harmonious design within the immediate area, as well a landscaping that would
reduce and soften the visual impact of the building. The scale of the building and color
harmonize with other buildings, while providing a design consistent with the
AR 17-02 ATTACHMENT
9 3 Staff Report
Dollar General/1405 So. Main St.
Finding 3: The project is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan. The project as
proposed is consistent with the objective and policies of the Lakeport General Plan. The
General Plan encourages commercial development designs which foster economic
growth, reduce land consumption, and compliment adjacent land uses. The proposed
commercial retail facility at its proposed location reflects that objective by fostering
economic growth, while complimenting adjacent land uses. In addition the location of
the building reflects the Nodal Commercial Development as defined in the Community
Design Element in the General Plan and provides opportunity for additional infill
development at this site.
CONCLUSION AND DECISION: Based on the information provided by the applicant and
the comments received from City staff, a finding is made that the construction of the
commercial retail building for Dollar General located at 1405 South Main Street is in
general conformance with the Lakeport Municipal Code Section 17.27.110
(Architectural and Design Review criteria and standards). The proposed commercial
building will enhance the appearance and improve the functionality of the existing
commercial buildings within the South Main Street business area. The proposed project
has been determined to be categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act according to Section 15332 of the 2016 CEQA guidelines.
This section allows development on parcels less than five acres substantially surrounded
by urban uses, consistent with the General Plan and Zoning; and determined to have
no impacts on rare species, endangered species, threatened species, traffic, noise, air
quality or water quality.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Rescinding MEETING DATE: 8/15/2017
Resolution No. 2546 (2015)
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In January 2014 Governor Brown declared a state of emergency due to severe drought conditions and in July of
that year the State Water Resources Control Board adopted emergency water conservation regulations intended
to ensure that water suppliers limit outdoor irrigation and other wasteful water practices.
In response to the States actions and in accordance with Lakeport Municipal Code Chapter 13.12, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 2512 (2014) in September 2014 which formally declared a Stage 1 Water Emergency and
imposed restrictions on non-essential water usage.
In April 2015, due to ongoing drought conditions and a historically low Sierra snowpack measurement, the
Governor signed Executive Order B-29-15, enacting additional statewide mandatory water conservation
requirements. The Executive Order included a requirement that the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) impose restrictions to achieve a statewide 25% reduction in potable urban water usage through February
28, 2016.
On June 16, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2546 (2015) which continued the declaration of the
Stage 1 Water Emergency and implemented new water conservation measures as mandated by the SWRCB. The
Citys water usage restrictions included limiting outdoor irrigation of ornamental landscaping or turf with potable
water to no more than two days per week. The City subsequently adopted an administrative policy that addressed
the investigation and enforcement of the outdoor irrigation restrictions. The restrictions were detailed on the
Citys website and shared via the Citys newsletter and social media outlets.
California received record amounts of rainfall during the winter of 2016/2017 which replenished the water
supplies throughout the State, including Lakeports groundwater supply in Scotts Valley. As a result, the Governor
issued an Executive Order in April 2017 which lifted the drought emergency in most California counties and
rescinded certain drought-related emergency proclamations and executive orders issued in 2014 and 2015. This
OPTIONS:
Adopt the Resolution rescinding Resolution No. 2546 (2015);
Modify and adopt the Resolution; or
Do not adopt the Resolution and continue the actions and restrictions of the Stage 1 Water Emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None $______ Budgeted Item? Yes No
Budget Adjustment Needed? Yes No if yes, amount of appropriation increase:
Affected fund(s): General Fund Water OM Fund Sewer OM Fund Other:
Comments: Ending the Water Emergency and eliminating the water usage restriction that limited irrigating
outdoor landscaping to no more than two days per week may result in an increase in water use. The Water
Enterprise Fund would benefit from an increase in water usage.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move to adopt the Resolution to rescind Resolution No. 2546 and continue the prohibition of certain wasteful
water usage practices.
WHEREAS, In 1989 the City Council adopted Ordinance 693 which added Chapter 13.12
to the Lakeport Municipal Code and established a procedure for restricting or prohibiting
demands on the existing water supply and prohibiting non-essential uses of water; and
WHEREAS, on September 2, 2014, the City Council of the City of Lakeport adopted
Resolution No. 2512 (2014) declaring a Stage 1 Water Emergency and Adopted Water
Conservation regulations; and
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2015, the Governor of the State of California issued Executive
Order B-29-15 that, in part, directed the State Water Resources Control Board to impose
restrictions on water suppliers to achieve a statewide 25 percent reduction in potable water
usage through February 28, 2016; and
WHEREAS, on May 5, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted revisions
to the California Code of Regulations promulgating the Governors Executive Order, including
limiting outdoor irrigation of ornamental landscaping or turf with potable water to no more
than two days per week; and
WHEREAS, on June 16, 2015, the City Council of the City of Lakeport adopted Resolution
No. 2546 (2015) which continued the declaration of a Stage 1 Water Emergency and
implemented new water conservation measures as mandated by the State Water Resources
Control Board; and
WHEREAS, on April 7, 2017, the Governor of the State of California issued Executive
Order B-40-17, which lifted the drought emergency in all California counties except Fresno,
Kings, Tulare and Tuolumne, and rescinded two emergency proclamations from January and
April 2014 and four drought-related executive orders issued in 2014 and 2015; and

STAFF REPORT
RE: Correction of Gann (Appropriations) Limit Review and Resolution MEETING DATE: 8/15/17
Establishing the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Appropriations Limit
The City Council is asked to review and approve the corrections to the annual appropriations limit for the City of
Lakeport for the years 2016-17 and 2017-18 and adopt the associated resolution.
BACKGROUND
Fieldwork testing by the Citys independent auditor discovered that the beginning balance of the GANN
calculation, adopted by resolution, on August 16, 2016 contained the same beginning balance as the GANN
calculation prepared for the 2015-16 year. The error understated the calculations. Upon correction the
appropriation limit increased, over the two years by $366,029.
The Gann Spending Limitation Initiative (Article XIII B of the California Constitution) adopted as Proposition 4 in
June 1979 (and subsequently modified by Proposition 111 in June 1990) requires the City to annually adopt a
resolution setting an appropriation limit for the upcoming fiscal year. The Gann Spending Limitation was
intended to provide citizen control of government spending and taxation. The Citys Fiscal Year 2017-18 Budget
was approved by the City Council on June 20, 2017 (Resolution No. 2623 (2017)).
ANALYSIS
California Government Code, Section 7910 (a) "each year the governing body of each local jurisdiction shall, by
resolution, establish its appropriations limit and make other necessary determinations for the following fiscal
year pursuant to Article XIII B of the California Constitution at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special
meeting ...."
California Constitution, Article XIIIB. Sec. 1 "The total annual appropriations subject to limitation of the State and
of each local government shall not exceed the appropriations limit of the entity of government for the prior year
adjusted for the change in the cost of living and the change in population , except as otherwise provided in this
article.
The Gann Spending Limitation calculation is attached. This calculation used population and per capita personal
income statistics provided by the California Department of Finance. The establishment of the Fiscal Year 2017-18
Appropriations Limit ("Gann Limit") is necessary to comply with Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. The Gann
