STAFF REPORT
RE: Minor Revisions to Zoning Ordinance to Improve
Transparency & Streamline Permit Processing Procedures
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
01/05/2016
Kevin M. Ingram, Community Development Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to initiate proceedings and set a public hearing for the consideration of minor
revisions to the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance aimed at increasing transparency and streamlining the processing of
land use development permits.
In 2003, the City of Lakeport surveyed local residents and businesses as part of the preparation of the City of
Lakeport Business Retention and Recruitment Strategy. Those businesses interviewed cited, amongst other
things, that last minute changes to approved project plans and limited or poor communication about City
policies, expectations, and activities were a serious concern. Although more than ten years have passed, the
concerns expressed in this survey remain relevant today. Relevant in the fact that they are included within the
Economic Development Element of the General Plan and are frequently expressed still by the local business
community.
To partially address these concerns, Community Development Department (CDD) staff has prepared a series of
small amendments to the Citys zoning ordinance in order to improve transparency in its administrative approval
of discretionary land use development permits and improve the streamlining by which the Planning Division
accepts and reviews land use development applications.
These changes were first reviewed by the Planning Commission at a their regular meeting of November 18, 2015
and then again at legally noticed public hearing before the Planning Commission on December 9, 2015. At the
conclusion of the December 9, 2015 public hearing the Planning Commission by unanimous vote made a
recommendation that the City Council approve the presented minor revisions to the zoning ordinance.
The key components of the proposed revisions can be separated into two parts and be summarized as follows:
A. Revisions pertaining the improving transparency within the Administrative Approval process
The zoning ordinance provides the community development director the authority to approve certain
discretionary land use development permits. These allowances permit the administrative approval of:
shoreline development permits, minor exceptions to development and design standards, and administrative
& minor architectural and design review.
Meeting Date: January 5, 2016
Page 1
Agenda Item #VI.B.1.
The City of Lakeport Zoning Ordinance currently allows for the filing of appeals of administratively approved
permits per Section 17.31.030. This section allows for the Planning Commission to review administratively
approved permits if an appeal is filed within five (5) business days of a decision. However, other than in the
case of the issuance of zoning permits, there is no mechanism required for the notification of the public of a
pending administrative approval action.
To remedy this situation CDD staff is recommending that adjoining property owners to any property where
the administrative approval of a discretionary land use development is being considered be notified a
minimum of ten (10) days in advance of any decision by the community development director. If any
adjoining property owner takes issue with the approval they may seek an automatic review of the action by
the Planning Commission. Notification of adjoining property owners, in staffs opinion strikes a balance
between the current no notification system of most administratively approved projects and the standard
notification procedures for public hearings outlined in Section 17.30.030 which require a formal legal notice
placed in the newspaper of record and distributed by mail to all property owners within 300 of the
proposed project.
Affected chapters of the Zoning Ordinance Include: Regulations for Clear Lake Shoreline Development (SD)
Combining District (Chapter 17.18), Minor Exceptions (Chapter 17.25), Architectural and Design Review
(Chapter 17.27), and Performance Standards (Chapter 17.28).
B. Proposed Amendments to the Land Use applications procedures process:
A Chief complaint from the business community in regards to the Citys land use development process is the
length in application processing time and a perceived last minute changes to approved project plans. The
California Permit Streaming Act (Government Code 65920 et. seq.) requires that within thirty (30) days of
the receipt of a land use development application, a local agency make a determination as to the
completeness of the application. If an application is determined to not be complete, an incomplete
notification and a request for additional information is required to be provided to the applicant in writing.
Although consistent with the requirements of the state permit streaming act, the current City of Lakeport
land use application processing procedures outlined in Section 17.29.030 of the Zoning Ordinance contains
an extra step in the permitting process that is not present within the development procedures of most other
local jurisdictions. At current, project application packets are submitted to the CDD for review of the
completeness of the application for a thirty day period. Once an application package is determined to be
complete it is then circulated for review to other Federal, State and local agencies with regulatory or
permitting issuance jurisdiction over projects.
Upon review of several other local jurisdictions land use application review procedures it was noted that the
internal review period by the Planning Division and the period in which project applications are reviewed by
other Federal, State and local agencies are typically combined together in one step as a means of streaming
the permitting process and reducing ambiguity in development requirement expectations. CDD staff
believes the combining of this process within Lakeports land use development process will aid in reducing
the processing time of land use development permits and assist in the building of trust with the business
and development community through the reduction in perceived last minute changes in requirements for
land use development permits. Additionally staff believes the combining of these two permit processing
steps is more consistent with the spirit and intent of the California Permit and Streaming Act.
In composing the proposed amendments to the land use development application procedures of Section
17.29 of the Zoning Ordinance, City staff consulted the development codes of: the County of Lake, Butte
County, Town of Windsor, City of Calistoga and City of Grass Valley.
Proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments affect Section 17.29 (Applications and Fees).

Ordinance, the Planning Commission should review these proposed text amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance and transmit its recommendation upon adoption of these revisions to the
City Council.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION: In 2003, the City of Lakeport surveyed local residents and
businesses as part of the preparation of the City of Lakeport Business Retention and
Recruitment Strategy. Those businesses interviewed cited, amongst other things, that last
minute changes to approved project plans and limited or poor communication about City
policies, expectations, and activities were a serious concern. Although more than ten years
have passed, the concerns expressed in this survey remain relevant today. Relevant in the fact
Minor Revisions to Zoning Ordinance

ZC 15-04/CE 15-11
that they are included within the Economic Development Element of the General Plan 1 and are
frequently expressed still by the local business community. To partially address these concerns,
Community Development Department (CDD) staff recommends that the Planning Commission
consider a series of small amendments to the Citys zoning ordinance in order to improve
transparency in its administrative approval of discretionary land use development permits and
improve the streamlining by which the Planning Division accepts and reviews land use
development applications.
Revisions pertaining the improving transparency within the Administrative Approval process:
The zoning ordinance provides the community development director the authority to approve
certain discretionary land use development permits. These allowances permit the
administrative approval of: shoreline development permits, zoning permits, minor exceptions
to development and design standards, and administrative & minor architectural and design
review.
The City of Lakeport Zoning Ordinance currently allows for the filing of appeals of
administratively approved permits per Section 17.31.030. This section allows for the Planning
Commission to review administratively approved permits if an appeal is filed within five (5)
business days of a decision. However, other than in the case of the issuance of zoning permits,
there is no mechanism required for the notification of the public of a pending administrative
approval action.
To remedy this situation CDD staff is recommending that adjoining property owners to any
property where the administrative approval of a discretionary land use development is being
considered be notified a minimum of ten (10) days in advance of any decision by the
community development director. If any adjoining property owner takes issue with the
approval they may seek an automatic review of the action by the Planning Commission.
Notification of adjoining property owners, in staffs opinion strikes a balance between the
current no notification system of most administratively approved projects and the standard
notification procedures for public hearings outlined in Section 17.30.030 which require a formal
legal notice placed in the newspaper of record and distributed by mail to all property owners
within 300 of the proposed project.
Affected chapters of the Zoning Ordinance Include: Regulations for Clear Lake Shoreline
Development (SD) Combining District (Chapter 17.18), Regulations for Zoning Permits (Chapter
17.22), Minor Exceptions (Chapter 17.25), Architectural and Design Review (Chapter 17.27), and
Performance Standards (Chapter 17.28).
Lakeport General Plan, Economic Development Element, Pg. VI-2

ZC 15-04/CE 15-11
Proposed Amendments to the Land Use applications procedures process: A Chief complaint
from the business community in regards to the Citys land use development process is the
length in application processing time and a perceived last minute changes to approved project
plans. The California Permit Streaming Act (Government Code 65920 et. seq.) requires that
within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a land use development application, a local agency
make a determination as to the completeness of the application. If an application is
determined to not be complete, an incomplete notification and a request for additional
information is required to be provided to the applicant in writing.
Although consistent with the requirements of the state permit streaming act, the current City
of Lakeport land use application processing procedures outlined in Section 17.29.030 of the
Zoning Ordinance contains an extra step in the permitting process that is not present within the
development procedures of most other local jurisdictions. At current, project application
packets are submitted to the CDD for review of the completeness of the application for a thirty
day period. Once an application package is determined to be complete it is then circulated for
review to other Federal, State and local agencies with regulatory or permitting issuance
jurisdiction over projects.
Upon review of several other local jurisdictions land use application review procedures it was
noted that the internal review period by the Planning Division and the period in which project
applications are reviewed by other Federal, State and local agencies are typically combined
together in one step as a means of streaming the permitting process and reducing ambiguity in
development requirement expectations. CDD staff believes the combining of this process
within Lakeports land use development process will aid in reducing the processing time of land
use development permits and assist in the building of trust with the business and development
community through the reduction in perceived last minute changes in requirements for land
use development permits. Additionally staff believes the combining of these two permit
processing steps is more consistent with the spirit and intent of the California Permit and
Streaming Act.
In composing the proposed amendments to the land use development application procedures
of Section 17.29 of the Zoning Ordinance, City staff consulted the development codes of: the
County of Lake, Butte County, Town of Windsor, City of Calistoga and City of Grass Valley.
Proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments affect Section 17.29 (Applications and Fees).
ZONE CHANGE (Text Amendment): Section 17.32.010 spells out specific criteria and findings
necessary for the approval of Zone Changes, including text amendments. The required four (4)
findings for Zone Changes are outlined in the table below:

ZC 15-04/CE 15-11

Zoning Amendment Criteria

(17.32.010 (B))
The proposed amendment is in the publics interest.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan.
The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the communitys health, safety, and
welfare.
The proposed amendment complies with the California Environmental Quality Act.
This project does not involve the rezoning of any lands or a change in permitted uses. Proposed
amendments pertain to permit processing procedures only. Staff analysis of each individual
finding criteria is as follows:
1. The proposed Zone Change text amendment is in the publics interest.
Staff Analysis: As noted in the background/discussion section above, the Lakeport community
has for several years expressed frustration in the Citys land use development process.
Common complaints includelong processing times, requested last minute project changes
and poor communication between staff and applicants. The proposed minor revisions to the
Zoning Ordinance are intended to directly address these stated concerns.
The incorporation of project notification for administrative discretionary land use decisions will
increase transparency and provide a greater opportunity for public input on land use decisions
prior to the approval of a project. Additionally, the proposed amendments to the application
processing procedures combining the existing Planning Division project internal review process
with review period by other Federal, State and local agencies will assist in reducing permit
processing times and reduce applicants frustration with requests for project changes several
times throughout the application review process.
2. The proposed Zone Change text amendment is consistent and compatible with the entire
General Plan and any implementation programs that may be affected.
Staff Analysis: The Economic Development Element of the General Plan, as previously
mentioned in the background/discussion section of this report, acknowledges the need to
improvepermit processing timelines, eliminate last minute changes to approved project
plans, improve the communication between staff and project applicants related to City policies
and development expectations and control the cost of business in Lakeport.2 A key
component of the proposed Zoning Ordinance revisions is the streamlining of permit processing
through the combining of the current project completeness determination review period
(Section 17.29.030.B) with the request for review to other local, State and Federal Agencies
review period (Section 17.29.030.D).

ZC 15-04/CE 15-11
This combining of existing review periods within the current Zoning Ordinance will aid in
reducing permit processing time and the number of instances in which an applicant would be
required to revise project plans. Limiting the number of times that revisions to development
plans are needed also has the added spillover benefit of reducing an applicants overall project
costs. Reducing the cost of business is recognized by Policy ED.3 of the Economic Development
Element of the General Plan which states: The city shall work to retain a competitive cost of
doing business in Lakeport relative to the Bay Area and Lake County Region. 3
Overall the proposed minor revisions to the Zoning Ordinance assist in facilitation of a more
business-friendly local government environment through better facilitation of permit
processing and the creation of a more supportive business environment by providing clear and
consistent development standards, procedures and information to the business community,
consistent with Policy ED 2.1 4 and Objective ED 3 5 of the Economic Development Element of
the General Plan, respectively.
3. The potential impacts of the proposed Zone Change text amendment have been assessed
and have been determined not to be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
Staff Analysis: Proposed revisions to the text of the Zoning Ordinance does not involve the
rezoning of any lands or the change in permitted land uses and thus will not result in any
detrimental impacts to public health, safety or welfare.
4. The proposed Zone Change text amendment has been processed in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the California Government Code and the California Environmental
Quality Act.
Staff Analysis: The proposed revisions to the Zoning Ordinance is not a project as defined by
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Project does not include general policy and
procedure making or [o]rganizations or administrative activities of governments that will not
result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
15378(b).
In addition, these proposed revisions to the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance are categorically
exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15305 as the issuance of said permits will not
result in the modification of any land uses or density pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15305.

MINUTE ORDER
LAKEPORT PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
(November 18, 2015)
PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW PROPOSED MINOR REVISION TO THE LAKEPORT
ZONING ORDINANCE TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND STREAMLINE PERMITTING
PROCESSES.
Community Development Director Kevin Ingram requested review of minor revisions to the Lakeport
Zoning Ordinance as a means of increasing transparency within the issuance of Administratively
Approved discretionary land use permits. Ingram advised, consistent with Section 17.32.010.A.3, staff is
requesting a text amendment and direction to prepare a formal zone change text amendment and send out
a legal notice for a public hearing for the Commissions next regular meeting in December.
Ingram stated revisions pertaining to improving transparency within the Administrative Approval process
provides the community development director the authority to approve certain discretionary land use
development permits. These allowances permit the administrative approval of: shoreline development
permits, zoning permits, minor exceptions to development and design standards, and minor architectural
and design review. Ingram advised standard appeal processes to administrative approvals apply, however
other than zoning permit approvals the zoning ordinance does not provide for any mechanism notifying
interested members of the public of any decision on the granting of a land use development permit. To
remedy this, CDD staff is recommending, that adjoining property owners be notified a minimum of ten
(10) days prior to the decision by the community development director for all administrative discretionary
permits. Ingram advised notification of adjoining property owners, in staffs opinion strikes a balance
between the current no notification system of most administratively approved projects and a full
notification of all property owners within 300 of a subject property and formal legal notification in the
newspaper of record.
Ingram advised a Chief complaint from the business community in regards to the Citys land use
development process is the length in application processing time and a perceived last minute change to
approved project plans. Ingram stated the California Permit Streaming Act (Government Code 65920 et.
seq.) requires that within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a land use development application, a local
agency make a determination as to the completeness of the application. If an application is determined to
not be complete, an incomplete notification and a request for additional information is required to be
provided to the applicant in writing. Ingram advised, although consistent with the letter of the state permit
streaming act, the City of Lakeports current land use application procedures (Section 17.29.030) contains
an extra step in the permitting process that is not present within the development procedures of other local
jurisdictions. Ingram advised currently, project application packets are submitted to the CDD for review of
the completeness of the application for a thirty day period. Once an application package is determined to
be complete it is then circulated for review to other Federal, State and local agencies with regulatory or
permitting issuance jurisdiction over projects.
Commissioner Taylor advised anything that can streamline things would make the process better. Taylor
advised he works with contactors on a regular basis and he used to hear complaints about the City all the
time; now with our new staff hes heard good things. He believed staff was on the right track.
Commissioner Wicks liked the idea; anything we can do to make it easier is best.
Commissioner Russell stated she agrees with the comments from Commissioner Taylor and she is pleased
to hear that streamlining is in the works. Associate Planner Chance stated he has worked with several
different jurisdictions and hes never seen land use development permits done this way. Most cities in the
CDD reviews the project forward before the submittal of the application which gives the opportunity of
setting up pre-application meetings, if it is a large project, getting the different agencies involved early on.
Chance advised when done this way, by the time the 30 day review period comes the problems have pretty
much been worked out. Chance stated it then doesnt put the burden on the City where we have several
files sitting around for a long time.
Commissioner Wicks advised of a change to Attachment 1 section 17.18.090 Review by the planning
commission, the hyperlink needed to be corrected to read 17.18.090. Wicks advised that in Attachment 1
Section 17.27.030.C it states The Community Development Director shall send copies of staff reports to
the Planning Commission for all administrative and minor architectural and design review approvals, etc.
He stated the Commission has not received these staff reports in the past and asked if they were ever
supposed to get them. Ingram advised yes, staff has been providing the conditions of approval on
anything approved at a staff level not just the minor architectural and design review.
Ingram stated staff still plans to provide the commission with the project list and any project that is
approved administratively that has project conditions of approval he still wants forwarded to the
commission.
Wicks advised that on Attachment B Section 17.29.030 Land Use application procedures stated A
prospective project proponent is encouraged to request a pre-application conference with the community
development staff before completing and filing a land us application/development. He proposed that it
should read A prospective project proponent shall be required to attend a pre-application conference,
etc. Wicks stated it would beneficial to all parties to have a face to face contact with staff. Ingram stated
he agreed with his suggestion however he would have to check with the Citys attorney because we may
not be able to require them to go to a pre-application conference.
Commissioner Wicks moved to initiate through a minute order of the Planning Commission the
preparation of minor amendments to the text of the zoning ordinance to increase transparency in the Citys
administrative approval process and streamline the Citys land use development application review
process consistent with Section 17.32.010.A.3 of the Zoning Ordinance with changes as suggested.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kauper.

Action Item

The City Council is being asked to initiate proceedings and set a public hearing for the consideration of a Zone
Change (ZC 14-01) from I, Industrial to C-2, Major Retail on a portion of land located at 301 Industrial Avenue as
proposed by AutoZone Inc. and property owner Sam LaMonica in order to facilitate the construction of new
retail auto parts store at this location. The City Council is also asked to review the associated CEQA Initial
Study/Environmental Review (ER 14-01) prepared for the proposed project.
On December 9, 2015 the Lakeport Planning Commission held a public hearing for the consideration of the
following applications associated with the Lakeport AutoZone Project proposed to be located at 301 and 401
Industrial Avenue: a Tentative Parcel Map to create four (4) new parcels, a Zone Change from I- Industrial to C-2
Major Retail for proposed Parcel 1, a Lot Line Adjustment with 292 Industrial Avenue, an Architectural and
Design Review for a proposed 7,842 square foot retail building on proposed Parcel 1, a Variance to exceed the
maximum amount of signage permitted by an additional 50 square feet, and consideration of the adoption of a
mitigated negative declaration based upon the CEQA Environmental Review prepared for the project.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the Tentative Parcel Map and Architectural Design Review,
subject to the City Councils approval of the proposed Zone Change. The Planning Commission denied the
Variance application requesting the allowance for additional building mounted signage at this location and
directed staff to continue processing the Lot Line Adjustment application.
The subject property is designated by the City of Lakeport General Plan Land Use Map and Lakeport Zoning
Ordinance as shown in the following table. This table also includes the proposed General Plan and Zoning

Lakeport AutoZone Project Staff Report

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
The subject properties are located at 301 and 401 Industrial Avenue and are further described
as APNs 05-045-29 and -30. The Lot Line Adjustment involves the common property line
between 292 Industrial Avenue (APN 05-045-30) and 401 Industrial Avenue (APN 05-045-30).
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING DISTRICT: The project site is designated
Major Retail according to the City of Lakeport General Plan Land Use Map and is zoned I Industrial Zoning District according to the City of Lakeport Zoning Map.
OVERALL PROJECT DESCRIPTION: National retailer AutoZone, Inc. and the property owner
(Sam LaMonica) of an 8.532 acre parcel of land on Industrial Avenue have jointly submitted
several land use applications associated with a Zone Change, TPM for 4 new lots and proposed
new retail commercial building project.
The applicants propose to subdivide the subject land into 4 parcels, Rezone proposed new
Parcel 1 to Major Retail, construct a new 7,842 square foot retail store on the new Parcel 1 (at
the corner of Industrial Avenue and South Main Street), complete a lot line adjustment, and
obtain a building mounted Sign Ordinance variance.
The project is subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
a CEQA Initial Study has been prepared for the project.
The above referenced land use applications are addressed in this Staff Report and the CEQA
Initial Study (Attachment #) and require approval by and/or a recommendation by the Lakeport
Planning Commission and Lakeport City Council. This Staff Report includes a detailed
description of each individual application component, a Lakeport Municipal Code conformity
analysis, and recommendations for Planning Commission and City Council actions.
AutoZone Inc. has submitted a variety of technical studies, plans, and other materials to support
the environmental review process and land use application. These submittals include the
following:
Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) (May 19, 2015)
Preliminary Site Plan (Sheet C1)
Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan (Sheet C2)
Architectural Design (CE1) and Color/Material Samples
Floor Plan/Roof Plan (Sheet PS1)

Traffic Impact Analysis Report (KD Anderson & Associates, Inc. 2013)
Geotechnical Investigation Report (GeoBoden, Inc., 2013)
Preliminary Drainage Study (RFE Engineering, Inc., 2014)
The subject property is an 8.532 acre site located in the City of Lakeport, on the west side of
South Main Street, with land area on both sides of Industrial Avenue.
As shown on the proposed TPM (Sheet TPM-1), existing buildings are located on proposed
Parcels 2 and 3. The existing buildings include a small office building on the south side of
Industrial Avenue and a marine repair business with related outdoor storage and display areas
at the west end of the site.

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
Access to the subject site and existing buildings is provided from Industrial Avenue, which is
currently a 50 wide road and utility easement. The road is a non-City standard 30 foot wide
asphalt roadway which is not improved with curbs, gutters or sidewalks.
The site has a relatively flat topography overall, and the land generally slopes easterly from the
Highway 29 on the west side to S. Main Street on the east side. There is a high point ground
surface elevation of 1346 above sea level (ASL) at the northwest corner of the site and a
second high point elevation of 1344 ASL on the mid-point western property line. The low point
elevation of 1333 ASL exists at a point near South Main St.
There are two drainage courses which extend through the subject property, one essentially
following the northern property line and the other to the south of the McAtee Marine building on
proposed Parcel 3.
There is a 30 X 36concrete masonry pipe (CMP) extending under Highway 29 at the northwest
corner which terminates at an open ditch which flows east to a point behind Lakeport Tire and
Auto (1901 South Main Street), where it then turns north and flows behind a storage building
and retail store just to the east of the Lake County Corporation yard where it then turns
northeast and is then contained within a 42 CMP and flows under S. Main St. into Clear Lake.
The second drainage course extends from under Highway 29 to the south of the McAtees
Marine building site. This surface water drainage outfalls into the subject site from two 6 box
culverts that extend from the west under the freeway and Parallel Drive and drain into an open
channel which flows into a storm drain line intake structure about 200 to the east. The open
drainage channel is about 5 deep and approximately 15 to 20 wide measured at the top of the
bank.
Storm water flows from the open channel to the intake structure and then into three 48
diameter concrete masonry pipes along the southern edge of the site. These three pipes extend
through an existing 20-foot storm drainage easement to a small open fenced pond area which is
the inlet structure for two 48 CMPs that flow east under South Main Street and then drain into
Clear Lake in the Pier 1900 Lagoon.
There is riparian vegetation including Black Willow trees in and adjacent to the open drainage
course. There is a bridge over top of the intake structure which provides vehicular access to the
southern portion of proposed Parcel 3.
Portions of the site have been used in the past as a grading/road contractor construction-yard
and are heavily disturbed. Areas of the site were leveled in the past and filled with road base
material.
The subject land has a limited amount of vegetation consisting primarily non-native grasses and
forbs. The most notable vegetation is shown on the TPM in the northern portion of APN 05-04529 (proposed Parcel 3). The map identifies a cluster of cottonwood and oak trees in the vicinity
of a storm water drainage course that extends through APN 05-045-29. There is also riparian
vegetation adjacent to the pond on the rear side of the Kmart retail store (2019 South Main
Street) that lies to the immediate south of the project site.
Portions of the site including the proposed AutoZone site (proposed Parcel 1) are currently used
as a non-authorized parking area for vehicles and freight hauling trailers. A storm drain line
berm and K-Marts mature redwood trees are present along the southern side of the subject
site.
Curb, gutter and sidewalk are present along the eastern edge of the property along South Main
Street. On-street parking and a Class 2 bike lane also exists along this side of South Main
Street.

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
Existing uses in the vicinity of the subject site include the K- Mart store and shopping center with
O'Reilly Auto Parts just to the south. Lakeport Tire and Auto (the co-applicant for the Lot Line
Adjustment) is located to the north. Land uses to the north also include mini storage units and
the Lake County Corporation yard. There is vacant commercial land to the east along with
residential areas along the Clear Lake shoreline area.
Land to the north, south, and east is designated Major Retail according to the Lakeport General
Plan Land Use Map; land to the east near Clear Lake is designated Low Density Residential.
State Highway 29 is existing to the immediate west and land along Parallel Drive further west is
designated Professional Office.
AutoZone, Inc. desires to build a new retail auto parts store at the southwest corner of Industrial
Avenue and South Main Street. Because the City Zoning Map designates the subject property
as Industrial, the applicant has submitted a Zone Change application for C-2 Major Retail
Zoning for the area of proposed Parcel 1.
The existing 8.532 acre property is currently un-subdivided land with a private non-standard
street extending west from South Main Street. In order for AutoZone to build on a separate lot,
there is a need for the approval and recordation of a parcel map, hence the TPM application.
Property owner LaMonica has proposed to subdivide the land into four lots.
The construction of a new retail commercial building is subject to the Citys Architectural and
Design Review provisions and application procedures.
The lot line adjustment is required because there is an existing building encroachment and
property line setback issue existing between the Lakeport Tire and Auto site and the LaMonica
land. There are co-applicants involved in the proposed Lot Line Adjustment: Sam LaMonica,
property owner, and Bob and Toni Funderburg, owners of Lakeport Tire and Auto who are a
party to the lot line adjustment.
AutoZone has indicated that they have a desire for additional square footage to be included in
the proposed building mounted signs and the size of signs that they have proposed does not
conform to the size limitations set forth in the Lakeport Sign Ordinance and are seeking
approval of a Variance in order to use the preferred corporate sign program.
ZONE CHANGE REQUEST

AutoZone Inc. is requesting the approval of a Zone Change for proposed Parcel 1, as shown on
the TPM, from I-Industrial zoning district to C-2 Major Retail Zoning district in order to facilitate
the construction of a new auto parts retail store. The proposed Zone Change applies only to the
proposed .87 acre Parcel 1.
AutoZone indicates that Section 17.10.030 of the Lakeport Municipal Code allows retail sales of
food, appliances, paint, hardware, auto parts, liquor, new and used clothing, furniture, carpet,
flowers, books, art, antiques, dry goods, pharmaceuticals, bait and tackle, books, magazines,
and similar uses in the C-2 district and indicates that the requested zone change would be
consistent with the surrounding commercial and retail zoning.
The following is the Community Development Department staff analysis of the Zone Change
request and its conformity with the Citys Municipal Code.
Section 17.32.010 of the Lakeport Municipal Code addresses Zoning Amendments.
An application for an amendment of the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance shall include a justification
statement submitted by the applicant. The justification statement shall describe the intended
amendment, whether it is a change in district boundaries or an amendment of the zoning

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
ordinance text. The justification statement shall give the reasons why the amendment is
necessary and shall provide information documenting that:
1.
The proposed amendment is in the publics interest.
Staff Analysis: AutoZone, Inc. is proposing to construct a 7,842 square foot retail building on a
proposed new .868 acre lot at the southwest corner of Industrial Avenue and South Main Street.
The proposed Parcel 1 is part of a TPM application which is a component of this development
project.
Proposed Parcel 1 is situated on land that is currently zoned by the City of Lakeport as I
Industrial. The City of Lakeports Industrial zoning designation does not permit the construction
of retail buildings or the full range of retail-commercial establishments. As such a Zone Change
application was required to be submitted by the developer in order to change the zoning
designation from Industrial to C-2 Major Retail.
Section 17.10.020 A. Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) indicates that retail sales of auto parts
is allowed in the C-2 district.
The determination as to whether or not the proposed Zone Change is in the publics interest will
be considered by the City of Lakeport Planning Commission and Lakeport City Council at
noticed public hearings. The Planning Commission after considering the applicable facts and
information will make a recommendation to the City Council, who has final decision making
authority under the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance.
Numerous factors are to be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council in the
determination of public interest, including the level of conformance with the Zone Change
Criteria set forth in Section 17.32.010 of the City Zoning Ordinance. The applicants Zone
Change justification statement, the proposed project details, the staff analysis, public input and
comments, and input from other public agencies should be considered by the Planning
Commission and City Council in the determination of public interest.
The applicant has submitted a written statement Request for Rezoning of Property which
provides background information and rational for the proposed Zone Change. The applicants
statement confirms that proposed Parcel 1 is currently zoned Industrial and that a change to
Commercial is needed in order for the new AutoZone retail facility to move forward through the
Citys development process. The applicants statement describes surrounding land uses
including the land to the north, south, and east which are presently zoned Commercial by the
City. The applicant concludes that after reviewing the present zoning and allowed uses,
AutoZone feels that it would best fit the City of Lakeports C-2 Major Retail zoning classification
and is petitioning the City to allow the property to be rezoned as such.
2.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan.
Staff Analysis: The Lakeport General Plan has been adopted in accordance with the provisions
of California law and includes several mandatory elements such as Land Use,
Transportation/Circulation, Noise, Conservation, Safety, and Housing. In addition there are
several other General Plan Elements that the City has chosen to include such as the Urban
Boundary, Community Design and the Economic Development Elements. Within each of these
General Plan Elements there are stated purposes, discussion about existing conditions, goals,
objectives, policies, programs and responsible parties. Taken together the General Plan
language is intended to be internally consistent and compatible and to provide the community
with a clear understanding as to what the intended land use and growth picture of the City is.
The Lakeport General Plan also includes a Land Use Designation Map Figure 1. This map
illustrates land use designations for all land within the City of Lakeport and surrounding areas.

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
The current Land Use designation for the proposed AutoZone lot at the corner of Industrial and
South Main Street is Major Retail (MR).
According to the text of the Lakeport General Plan Land Use Element, the Major Retail
designation is the principle retail designation for the Lakeport area; the place for regional and
local serving retail establishments; specialty shops; banks; professional offices; motels;
business and personal services..This designation is typically assigned to larger parcels that
can provide sufficient land for a shopping center; located on a major arterial street and
established commercial areas with off street parking and/or clusters of street-front
stores.Consistent zoning districts include, but are not limited to C-1, C-2 and C-3.1
The proposed AutoZone Zoning Designation change from IIndustrial Zoning District to C-2
Major Retail Zoning District is consistent and compatible with the existing City of Lakeport
General Plan Land Use Map along with other applicable goals, objectives, policies, and
programs of the General Plan.
3. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the communitys health, safety,
and welfare.
Staff Analysis: The Zoning Change application for the proposed new AutoZone lot at the
corner of Industrial Avenue and South Main Street as described above is consistent with the
Lakeport General Plan. The City in its preparation and adoption of the Lakeport General Plan
intended for this area to be zoned C-2 Major Retail. Through this action the City made a
comprehensive determination that commercial zoning of the subject lot would in fact not be
detrimental to the communitys health, safety and welfare, because its consistent with the Land
Use Designation Map. This perspective, which relates directly to the communitys health, safety,
and welfare, is acknowledged in the Introduction section of the Lakeport General Plan which
indicates that the General Plan represents an agreement among the residents of Lakeport on
basic values, ideals, and aspirations to govern a shared environment.
The City Council in its adoption of the General Plan and specifically the Land Use Designation
Map determined that the future C-2 Major Retail zoning of the subject site (Parcel 1) is not
detrimental to the communitys health, safety and welfare.
4. The proposed amendment complies with the California Government Code and
California Environmental Quality Act.
Staff Analysis: Lakeport City staff has prepared an Initial Study (IS) environmental document in
accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The CEQA
IS addresses the totality of the LaMonica/AutoZone project including the TPM, the proposed
Zone Change, and the Architectural and Design Review for the proposed construction the
AutoZone retail building (and associated site improvements) and can be found as Attachment 4
to this staff report along with proposed mitigation measures.
The IS has identified potentially significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed
TPM and the Architectural and Design Review for the proposed site improvements and has
recommended mitigation measures which when implemented will reduce and eliminate the
identified impacts to a less than significant level. There are no potentially significant
environmental impacts identified in the IS that are associated with the Zone Change for the
AutoZone project.
Zone Change Application Findings:
1. The applicant has submitted a written statement which provides background
information and rational for the proposed Zone Change. The applicants statement

Lakeport General Plan, Pgs II-2, 3

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
confirms that that the proposed subject lot is currently zoned Industrial and that a
change to Commercial is needed in order for the new AutoZone retail facility to move
forward through the Citys development process.
2. The applicant concludes that after reviewing the present zoning and allowed uses,
that it would best fit the City of Lakeports designation of C-2 Major Retail zoning and
is petitioning the City to allow for the property to be rezoned as such.
3. The current General Plan Land Use Map designation for the proposed AutoZone lot
at the corner of Industrial and South Main Street is Major Retail (MR).
4. The proposed AutoZone zoning designation change from I- Industrial to C-2 Major
Retail is consistent and compatible with the existing City of Lakeport General Plan
Land Use Map along with other applicable goals, objectives, policies, and programs
of the General Plan.
5. The City Council in its adoption of the General Plan, and specifically the Land Use
Designation Map, determined that the future C-2 Major Retail Zoning of the subject
site (Parcel 1) is not detrimental to the communitys health, safety and welfare.
6. Lakeport City staff has prepared an Initial Study (IS) environmental document in
accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
which addresses the totality of the LaMonica/AutoZone project including the
proposed Zone Change.
7. There are no potentially significant environmental impacts identified in the IS that are
associated with the Zone Change for the AutoZone parcel (Parcel 1).
8. The proposed Zone Change from I-Industrial to C-2 Major Retail is in conformance
with Section 17.32.010 of the Lakeport Municipal Code regarding Zoning
Amendments.
Zone Change Application Recommendation:
Based on the above staff analysis and findings, staff recommends approval of the Zone Change
request and recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval to the Lakeport
City Council.
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP APPLICATION

TPM PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In accordance with the provisions of the City of Lakeport
Subdivision Ordinance, the land owner/project proponent has submitted a tentative parcel map
(TPM) application for the purpose of subdividing an 8.532 acre parcel of land into four (4)
parcels. The proposed parcels will have frontage on a new publicly-dedicated 50 foot wide
street right of way - Industrial Avenue. The Industrial Avenue street right-of-way is proposed to
extend west of South Main Street a distance of about 900 feet to a cul-de-sac bulb.
The subject property, which has been assigned two Assessor parcel numbers by the County, is
considered by the City as a single lot of record. APN 05-045-29 is a triangular-shaped parcel
containing approximately 1 acre of land located on the southwest side of APN 05-045-30
(behind Kmart). APN 05-045-30 is a trapezoid-shaped parcel containing slightly over 7 acres of
land which includes the Industrial Avenue roadway.
Proposed Parcel 1 is located at the southeast corner of the subject property south of the
intersection of South Main Street and Industrial Avenue. Parcel 1 will front on both South Main
and Industrial Avenue and is the proposed AutoZone development lot. Parcel 1 is a rectangle
with an east/west orientation and a dimension of 140 x 270. Parcel 1 will contain .866 acres of
land area.
7

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
Proposed Parcel 2 will be situated just to the west of Parcel 1 and will also have a rectangular
shape and a rough dimension of 140 x 460. Parcel 2 will front on the south side of Industrial
Avenue. The bulb of the new cul-de-sac will be located at the northwest corner of Parcel 2 and
extends towards Parcel 4. Parcel 2 will be configured to include and function with one of the
existing buildings on the property, at the west end of the proposed lot. This parcel will contain
1.480 acres of land area.
Proposed Parcel 3 will be a modified triangular shaped parcel with its apex directed to the
south. This lot is to be situated at the west end of Industrial Avenue with frontage on the bulb of
the cul-de-sac. This lot includes and will function with an existing building and commercially
developed area occupied by McAtees Marine with its western edge lying adjacent to State
Highway 29. Parcel 3 will contain 2.664 acres of land area according to the TPM.
Proposed Parcel 4 will be a rectangular-shaped parcel. It will be located on the north side of the
property and have approximately 450 of frontage (width) on Industrial Avenue and 140 of
depth. Proposed Parcel 4 is vacant and will contain 1.361 acres of land area.
The TPM (Attachment 4) identifies the subject site and the proposed subdivision. The TPM
includes a legal description, general notes, a list of utility providers, a proposed street
improvement profile, and general information about the project.
The TPM generally complies with the Citys Subdivision Ordinance in terms of the details that
must appear on the map. The TPM identifies the existing improvements on each of the
proposed parcels, along with ground surface elevations, existing building locations, vegetation,
existing and proposed public easements, adjacent land ownership and development, adjacent
right-of-way and street improvements, existing water and sewer utilities, flood zone boundaries,
drainage channels and easements, and other information.
There are two existing buildings located on APN 05-045-30. The building shown on proposed
Parcel 2 on the south side of Industrial Avenue is a professional office, and the building on
proposed Parcel 3 houses McAtees Marine retail and service operations.
The TPM also identifies a building encroachment extending across the east property line of
proposed Parcel 4. This building encroachment issue necessitated the application for a lot line
adjustment, which has been submitted, and reviewed by City Staff herein (see Lot Line
Adjustment section of this Staff Report).
The TPM identifies improvements which include a propane tank and water well on proposed
Parcel 2, storm drainage facilities on proposed Parcels 1 and 3, asphalt paving in and around
the existing buildings on Parcels 2 and 3, an existing sewer line that extends along the north
side of the subject property, and a sewer lateral that extends south from the main line to serve
the existing structures.
The subject property has a relatively flat topography with a high-point elevation of 1,344 above
sea level and a low-point elevation of 1,334. The land slopes from west to east. There is
existing vegetation in the northern portion of APN 05-045-29, including several oak trees on the
north side, and riparian vegetation adjacent to the storm water drainage course that extends
through APN 05-045-29. There is also wetland vegetation adjacent to the pond on the rear side
of the Kmart store.
The TPM indicates that sewer service will be supplied by the City of Lakeport. Existing
structures are served by the Citys sewer system. Water service to the existing improvements
and proposed parcels is currently being provided by an existing well located on Parcel 2
according to the map. However a new water main will be extended from South Main Street in
Industrial Avenue and will provide City water service to each of the new lots.

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
Fire protection is provided by the Lakeport County Fire Protection District. There are also slope
and erosion control notes identified on the map.
The TPM illustrates the 50 wide Industrial Avenue profile and provides a typical section for the
proposed street. The map identifies existing survey information, adjacent property owner
names, assessor parcel numbers, and other details. It should be noted that the subject property
is located directly north of the existing Kmart site and south of several industrial uses adjacent
to Campbell Lane.
CONFORMANCE WITH TITLE 16, CHAPTERS 16.12 THROUGH 16.26 OF THE LAKEPORT
MUNICIPAL CODE / SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE:
A parcel map is defined by the Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance as a subdivision map of four or
less proposed new parcels prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Lakeport
Subdivision Ordinance and suitable for recordation with the Lake County Recorder.
Section 16.12.020 of the Subdivision Ordinance provides the form and content requirements,
accompanying data, and report requirements for a TPM. A TPM shall be prepared in a manner
acceptable to the Community Development Department by a Registered Civil Engineer, land
surveyor, or other property owner agent. The TPM shall be clearly and legibly drawn and shall
contain not less than the information set forth in the Ordinance.
Section 16.12.030 of the Subdivision Ordinance indicates that additional data shall be provided
if determined to be necessary and an engineering soils report shall be provided as well. Upon
receipt of a TPM, a Staff Report will be prepared and the map shall be presented to the
Planning Commission who shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the map in accordance
with the provisions and findings set forth in Sections 16.08.070 B., C., and D. of the Lakeport
Subdivision Ordinance.
The TPM is to be reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing. The Planning
Commission has a responsibility to consider and approve the TPM, and the Planning
Commission must find that the TPM, together with the provisions for the design and
improvement thereof is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan and applicable provisions of
the Subdivision Ordinance.
The Planning Commission may require as a condition of approval payment of all development
fees, modify or delete any of the conditions of approval recommended in the Staff Report, or
add additional conditions in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.
The basic concept of the proposed TPM is the creation of four parcels out of the 8.532 acre
parcel of land. There is an existing private drive which extends down the center of the parcel
west of South Main Street. This driveway, known as Industrial Avenue, was developed initially
when the land was in the County, and according to City records has not been dedicated to the
public. Three parcels will be created off of the south side of Industrial Avenue and one parcel
will be created on the north side. A proposed cul-de-sac street with a length of about 900 is
proposed to be dedicated as a 50 wide public right-of-way and terminate in a cul-de-sac bulb in
the western portion of the subject site.
There are some prominent features with the subject site, including some existing buildings, an
open drainage ditch, an existing well, existing sewer, and other features. Proposed parcels 2
and 3 will separate the two existing buildings onto separate lots, and proposed parcels 1 and 4
will be vacant. Proposed Parcel 1 is the location of the AutoZone retail store and site
improvements. This parcel will be created with the recordation of the Parcel Map and then sold
to AutoZone.
There is the existing building encroachment issue associated with the separately-owned land at
the northeast corner of Industrial Avenue and South Main Street where there is an existing

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
building encroaching over the property line. A lot line adjustment application has been submitted
to resolve this encroachment issue.
The aforementioned APN 05-045-29 does have a separate assessor number as defined by the
County of Lake, however, City staff has previously looked at this parcel and determined that it
was created by deed and would not be recognized as a legal parcel by the City pursuant to a
certificate of compliance application. The Parcel Map recordation will resolve this situation.
City staff has prepared a CEQA Initial Study and included the TPM project. Notice of the TPM
and CEQA public hearing concerning the project has been made in accordance with the
Municipal Code. The Planning Commission must find that the TPM, together with the provisions
for the design and improvement thereof, is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan and
applicable provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance.
The Planning Commission may require, as a condition of approval, payment of all development
fees, modify or delete any of the conditions of approval recommended in the Staff Report, or
add additional requirements as conditions in order to protect the public health, safety, and
welfare. If the TPM is approved or conditionally approved, the Community Development
Department will forward a written report to the City Council who may call the map up for review.
If the Council decides to review the map, it will be done so at a public hearing after notice is
given.
The City Council may add, modify, or delete conditions if the Council determines that such
changes are necessary to insure compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and the Subdivision
Ordinance.
Chapter 16.17 of the City of Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance provides for the design and
improvement standards for all subdivisions.
The following is the staff analysis of the proposed TPMs level of compliance with Chapter 16.17
of the Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance.
Section 16.17.010
A.
General lot development requirements:
The size and shape of lots shall be such as are proper for the proposed use,
locality, and topography in which the subdivision is situated and shall be not less
than any applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Staff analysis: The proposed lots appear to be proper for their proposed use as a
commercial and industrial subdivision. The area in which the subdivision is proposed is
also industrial and commercial in nature and the proposed subdivision is consistent with
the other lots in this locality. The size and shape of the proposed lots is proper as the
topography of the subject site is essentially flat. The proposed lot sizes are not less than
the applicable Zoning Ordinance standards as each parcel exceeds the minimum lot size
in the C-2 District.
B.
Lots without frontage on a street shall not be permitted.

Staff analysis: All lots within the proposed project will have frontage on either existing
(South Main Street) or proposed (Industrial Avenue) City street right of way.
C.
The side lines of lots shall run at right angles to the street upon which the lot faces,
as far as practicable.
Staff analysis: All proposed lots are at right angles to either the South Main or the
Industrial Avenue frontage.
10

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
D.
Lots having double-frontage with depths of less than two hundred (200) feet
should be discouraged except where necessitated by topographic or other physical
conditions.
Staff analysis: None of the proposed parcels have a true double frontage, except for
Parcel 1 which will be a standard corner lot design, and for Parcel 3 which will front on
Hwy 29, where there is controlled access.
E.
Corner lots shall have extra width, sufficient to permit the maintenance of building
lines on both front and sides.
Staff analysis: Parcel 1 is the only corner lot within the proposed subdivision. This lot has
a width of 270 feet and a depth of 140 feet. A commercial development project is feasible
with these dimensions. The only limitation which could affect maintenance activities is the
underground storm drain line and easement on the south side. The site plan for the
proposed retail building on this corner lot depicts a design which does allow for and will
facilitate maintenance activities.
F.
All lots shall be suitable for the purposes for which they are intended.
Staff analysis: The proposed lots are suitable for the purpose for which they are intended
which is to provide for a lot arrangement within a proposed Commercial zoning district and
existing Industrial district. The lot layout design is defined by the shape of the parcel and
the need to provide for the dedication and development of Industrial Avenue through the
center of the property. The proposed lots provide land area for existing buildings, parking,
landscaping, utilities, and other existing and proposed site improvements. The Lakeport
Zoning Ordinance defines the building and site development standards for future
improvements. All of the proposed lots are large in terms of land area (.868 2.664 acres)
and are of sufficient dimension to facilitate future commercial land development including
the development of buildings, parking areas, landscaping, utilities, on-site maneuvering
area, and other related site improvements.
G.
In all cases where sewage is to be handled by individual septic tank drainage, the
sub divider shall present a written statement from the country health officer
certifying that sewage can be satisfactorily disposed of on each lot by septic tank
method.
Staff analysis: Not applicable. The property will be served by City sewer.
H.
Where water is proposed to be supplied by individual wells on each lot, and sewage
is proposed to be disposed of by individual septic tank method, the sub divider
shall present a written statement from the County Health Department certifying that
the functions of water supply and septic tank drainage can be satisfactorily
accomplished on each lot.
Staff analysis: Not applicable. The project will be provided with City water and sewer.
Section 16.17.020
A.
Blocks:
Blocks shall not be longer than one thousand two hundred feet between
intersecting street lines, except on major streets and thoroughfares where longer
blocks may be required.
Staff analysis: The length of the Industrial Avenue cul-de-sac is about 900 which is
appropriate.
B.
Improved walkways (public access easements) not less than ten (10) feet in width
may be required to be dedicated through long blocks where necessary to provide
access to schools, parks, scenic easements, or lake frontage.
11

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
Staff analysis: The project involves the subdivision of industrial/commercial land. There
are two existing buildings and other improvements and land uses occurring on the subject
property. Curb, gutter, and sidewalks do not exist on any portion of the subject site except
for a portion of S. Main Street. The existing site improvements were built when the land
was under County of Lake jurisdiction and the County does not require urban development
standards in the Lakeport sphere of influence. The design of the proposed subdivision
involves a long cul-de-sac street in the center of the property with no intersecting or
adjoining streets or adjacent land (except South Main Street). There are no public streets
which are contiguous to the subject property which would allow for access to schools,
parks, scenic easements or lake frontage. As such, there is no need or requirement for
public access easements to be dedicated through the site.
Section 16.17.030 Easements: Easements not less than five (5) feet wide shall be
required on each side of all lots and the rear of all lots where necessary for poles, wires,
drainage, and water services or other utilities.
Staff analysis: The TPM identifies a large number of existing easements with various
notations, arrows and lines, including the Industrial Avenue roadway easements, two separate
existing 50 wide road access easements extending from the end of Industrial Avenue to the
south. Notations on the TPM indicate that some of the existing easements are to be abandoned
including the 50 wide Industrial Avenue easement and the two 50 wide road access easements
that extend from the west end. There is an existing 10 x 650 sewer easement shown on the
north side of the TPM which staff is requesting to be expanded to 20 in width to allow adequate
access for the placement of equipment needed for any eventual maintenance of the sewer line
in this area. The TPM also identifies the existing 20 wide storm drainage easement on the
south side of the site extending through proposed lots 1 and 2 which will also remain. The TPM
does identify proposed 5 wide public utility easements along most, but not all of the proposed
lot lines. The City engineer is also requesting the establishment of a 5 public utility easement
behind the proposed sidewalk fronting parcel 1 due to existing topography in this area allowing
for maintenance without the need to re-construct sidewalk in the future. The final parcel must
accurately detail the offer of 5 wide Public Utility easements inside all proposed lot lines and as
otherwise recommended by City staff consistent with subdivision ordinance requirements.
Section 16.17.040 Watercourses: Existing natural or proposed relocated watercourses
shall be shown as easements, and storm drains shall be placed in easements. The
Planning Commission or City Engineer may require watercourses to be placed entirely in
underground conduits. Surface drainage facilities shall be adequately fenced or
otherwise improved to provide for public safety and an aesthetically pleasing
environment.
Staff analysis: There are existing natural water courses on the subject property, including a
partially open ditch/pipeline running from west to east through proposed Parcel 3 south of the
existing McAtees Marine building. In addition there is an open channel along the entire northern
property line.
A minimum 20 wide storm drainage easement must be provided for the entire length of the
drainage course on the south and southwest portion of the property - from Hwy 29 along the
southern edge of proposed parcels 1 and 2 to the South Main Street right-of-way. The open
channel sections are proposed to remain in place. The Biological section of the project
Environmental Review recommends the incorporation of a 20 non-buildable setback be noted
on the final map for areas near the existing wetlands behind the Kmart facility and the section of
open drainage bisecting proposed Parcel 3. This required setback is in conformance with the
recently revised Conservation Element of the General Plan which includes policies encouraging
12

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
the protection of existing riparian vegetation. Staff is not recommending the undergrounding of
any existing surface drainage as a part of this project.
Section 16.17.050 Monuments: Durable survey monuments approved by the City Engineer
shall be installed or referenced to the following locations:
A.
Boundary corners;
B.
At intervals of not more than five hundred (500) feet along boundary lines;
C.
At the beginning and end of property line curves or points of intersection, at the
discretion of the City Engineer.
D.
Lot corners.
Staff analysis: The requirement for survey monuments is set forth as a condition of approval.
Section 16.17.060 Setbacks: Building setbacks shall be required at least as great as
the applicable zoning requirement.
Staff analysis: The I Industrial Zoning District requires specified front, rear, and side yard
setbacks as set forth in Section 17.13.050 of the Municipal Code. The C-2 Major Retail Zoning
District allows flexible setbacks and zero rear and side yard setbacks. There are two existing
buildings on the subject property and the design of the proposed lots provide for Zoning
Ordinance setback compliance.
Proposed construction of site improvements and buildings will be required to comply with City
setback requirements and Building Code requirements for separation between buildings.
Section 16.17.070
Road and Streets--Development Requirements:
Staff analysis: There is a requirement to prepare and submit full City street right-of-way
improvement plans and City sewer, water, and storm drainage utility plans prior to construction
or recordation of the Parcel map. The City Engineer is recommending the incorporation of
several minor amendments to the proposed tentative map in order to facilitate better road and
street design which takes into account existing site environment and to better accommodate
future development. These include modifications to the location of curb, gutter and sidewalk;
design of stormwater drainage systems in the right-of-way; and the location of proposed
driveway encroachments. These recommended changes have been incorporated as project
mitigation measures and conditions of approval and have been agreed to by the applicants.
Section 16.17.080
Street grades: Grade specifications are as set out in this section:
Staff analysis: Given the flat topography, compliance with the street grade specifications is
feasible.
Section 16.17.090
Streets--Side slopes--Right-of-way widths:
Staff analysis: Given the flat topography, compliance with the street side slope grade and right
of way width specifications is feasible.
Section 16.17.100
Streets--Design specifications:
Staff analysis: For subdivisions in Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts in flat areas with
0-10% cross slopes, the City right of way dedication requirement is 50-60, the improved street
width requirement is 40, and 4 foot wide sidewalks must be provided on both sides of the street.
The TPM will include as a project mitigation measure the requirement to provide a 50 wide
right-of-way and a cul-de-sac and a cul-de-sac bulb with a curb to curb diameter of 150 with an
additional 5 public utility easement and pedestrian easement behind the sidewalk. Roadway
construction shall be made consistent with the proposed TPM dated May 19, 2015. The sub
divider will be required to enter into a subdivision improvement agreement which will require the
13

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
submittal of improvement plans to the City which will be reviewed and approved by the City
Engineer to ensure compliance with City standards.
Section 16.18.010 General:
The sub divider shall construct all required improvements, both on-site and on-site, in
accordance with the standard engineering specifications and other approved standards
as provided by this chapter and by the city councils resolution(s) establishing such
standards.
Staff analysis: No final map shall be presented for approval until the subdivider either
completes the required improvements or enters into an agreement with the City to do the work.
Section 16.18.020
Required Improvements:
A. General. All improvements as may be required as conditions of approval of the TPM,

by City ordinance or resolution, together with, but not limited to, the required
improvements set forth below shall be required of all subdivisions.
Requirements for construction of on-site and off-site improvements for subdivisions
of four (4) or less parcels shall be noted on the Parcel Map, or waiver of Parcel Map,
or the subdivision improvement agreement recorded prior to or concurrent with the
Parcel Map.
Completion of improvements shall be in accordance with Section 16.18.100.
Staff analysis: Construction of on and off-site improvements for subdivisions of four or less
parcels may be addressed within a Subdivision Improvement Agreement, if necessary.
B. Right-of-Way Improvements. The frontage of each lot shall be improved to its
ultimate adopted geometric section, including street structural section, curbs,
sidewalks, driveway approaches, and transitions.
Staff analysis: Right-of-way improvement plans will be required to be submitted for
construction of the projects lot frontage including the street improvements, curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, driveways, and other public facilities within the street right of way. The sidewalk
improvements will need to be constructed in accordance with City standards at the time of
site development and substantially conform to the TPM dated May 19, 2015 and incorporate
recommended modifications contained within the project conditions of approval.
C. Storm Drainage. Storm water runoff from the subdivision shall be collected and
conveyed by an approved storm drain system. The storm drain system shall be
designed for ultimate development of the watershed and shall be capable of
collecting and conveying runoff generated by a 100 year flood. The storm drain
system shall provide for the protection of abutting and off-site properties that would
be adversely affected by any increase in runoff attributable to the development. Offsite storm drain improvements may be required to satisfy this requirement.
Staff analysis: Storm water runoff from the subject site will need to be collected and
conveyed to an approved storm drain system. Drainage details are set forth on the
Preliminary Utility Plan Sheet UT-1 which identifies existing and proposed storm drainage
systems and relocated drain inlets along with new storm drain lines.
The proposed development of Parcel 1 requires that the ground surface elevation of the
building pad be raised up about 4 feet. The construction of the new street combined with the
elevated building pad will result in the ponding of surface water west of the new AutoZone
store. There will be a need to design, construct and maintain some type of drainage system
to eliminate this water ponding.
14

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
The Citys CEQA Initial Study on the project describes the storm drainage impacts
associated with the project. There will be increase in impervious area that will occur over
time as the industrial and commercially zoned areas develop. This is considered a
significant impact and there must be sufficient mitigation provided to minimize or eliminate
impact to downstream property owners.
The City Engineer is recommending the incorporation of several minor amendments to the
proposed tentative map in order to better facilitate stormwater drainage at this site. These
recommendations include the submittal of a supplemental hydrology analysis and
stormwater drainage plan. The final map and subdivision improvement plans will be
required to incorporate the findings of the supplemental hydrology analysis into the
stormwater drainage plan so as to ensure the installation of a system capable of collecting
and detaining the stormwater generated from the proposed project so that there is no net
increase in the flow rate of off-site runoff. Other minor revisions include re-directing some
drainage to better follow existing drainage patterns and provide access for future
maintenance of stormwater detention facilities. These recommended changes have been
incorporated as project mitigation measures and conditions of approval and have been
agreed to by the applicants.
D. Sanitary Sewers. Each unit or lot within the subdivision shall be served by an
approved sanitary sewer system, in accordance with the provisions of this Code.
Staff analysis: The proposed parcels are to be served by City sewer. There is an existing
sewer line shown on the TPM extending from the small office building on proposed Parcel 2
to the north. The TPM is indicating that a new 8 sewer main will be constructed within the
proposed Industrial Avenue street right of way.
E. Water Supply. Each unit or lot within the subdivision shall be served by an approved
domestic water system, in accordance with the provisions of this Code.
Staff analysis: All of the proposed new parcels will be served by City water. A new 12
water main is proposed to be constructed with the proposed Industrial Avenue street right of
way.
F. Utilities. Each unit or lot within the subdivision shall be served by gas, electric,
telephone, and cable television facilities.
Staff analysis: The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the projects new lots be provided
with the full range of utilities. All existing and proposed public utility infrastructure
improvements and private service laterals will need to be noted on the final subdivision
improvement plans.
G. Underground Utilities. All existing and proposed utilities within the subdivision and
along peripheral streets shall be placed underground except those facilities exempted
by the Public Utilities Commission regulations. Undergrounding shall be required for
overhead lines on either side of peripheral streets.
Staff analysis: There are four existing overhead utility poles which are carrying power,
telephone, and cable lines extending west on Industrial Avenue. The poles and overhead
lines will be required to be relocated and placed underground. New on-site utilities will be
relocated and installed underground.
H. Fencing. Each parcel or lot within the subdivision that is adjacent to property
containing a public facility shall have an approved fence adequate to prevent
unauthorized access between the properties. Fencing or sound barriers may be
required in areas adjacent to freeways or arterial or collector streets.
15

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
Staff analysis: It does not appear that there is a need for additional fencing because the
properties are not adjacent to a public facility, nor is there an apparent need to prevent
unauthorized access between parcels.
I.
Other Improvements. Other improvements including, but not limited to, grading,
street lights, fire hydrants, signs, street lines and markings, street trees and
landscaping, monuments, bicycle lanes, trails, fences, and smoke detectors, or fees
in lieu of any of the foregoing, shall also be required as determined by the City in
accordance with this Code, the General Plan, and City standards and specifications.
Staff analysis: This section of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that grading, street
lights, fire hydrants, signs, street lines and markings, street trees and landscaping, survey
monuments, bicycle lanes, trails, fences, and smoke detectors may be required in
accordance with the Lakeport Municipal Code, the General Plan, and/or City standards. The
placement of additional fire hydrants at this site are required per the proposed project
conditions of approval. Landscaping and other site improvements for Parcel 1 are proposed
as part of the Architectural and Design Review component of the project.
J. Off-Site Improvements.
If the subdivider is required to construct off-site
improvements on land in which neither the subdivider nor the City have sufficient title
or interest to allow construction, the City shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days
of recording the final map, acquire by negotiation or commence condemnation of the
land. If the City fails to meet the one hundred twenty (120) day time limit, the
condition for the construction shall be waived. Prior to approval of the final map, the
City may require the sub divider to enter into an agreement to complete the off-site
improvements at the time the City acquires title or an interest in the land.
The sub divider shall pay the cost of acquiring off-site land or an interest in the land
required to construct the off-site improvements.
Staff analysis: The City may as a condition of approval require certain off-site
improvements to be constructed. These mainly concern the construction of roadway and
stormwater conveyance improvements in front of property located at 292 Industrial Avenue
and 1901 South Main Street to allow for their continued use of Industrial Avenue. No other
notable off-site improvements are recommended as a result of the proposed project.
Section 16.18.060
Improvement Plans:
A. General. Improvement plans shall be prepared under the direction of and signed by a
registered civil engineer licensed by the State of California.
Improvement plans shall include, but shall not be limited to, all improvements
required pursuant to Section 16.18.020.
Staff analysis: Project improvement plans will be prepared by a civil engineer and will
need to be approved by the City Engineer and the Utilities Department prior to the issuance
of a development permit.

ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION

AUTOZONE RETAIL PROJECT DESCRIPTION: AutoZone Inc. is proposing to construct a
new retail store on proposed Parcel 1 as shown on the TPM. Proposed Parcel 1 is a new .87
acre undeveloped lot at the southwest corner of South Main Street and Industrial Avenue. As
shown on the site plan (Sheet C1), the proposed project will include a 115 x 65 single-story,
21-foot-tall, 7,842-square-foot retail building. The proposed retail building will be constructed in
the center of the lot, facing north toward both Industrial Avenue and South Main Street and will
have an approximately 60-foot setback from Industrial Avenue, approximately 80-foot setback
from South Main Street, and a 20-foot setback from the south property line. A parking lot will be
developed on the west and east sides of the building. A total of 31 parking spaces will be
provided on-site. Two handicap accessible spaces are shown on the east side of the proposed
building. The proposed parking space dimensions are 19 feet by 9 feet for standard spaces and
20 feet by 9 feet for accessible spaces.
Two 30-foot-wide driveways will be provided to the retail store from Industrial Avenue and will
be signed with two accessible entrance signs. Both will be used for ingress and egress. The
easterly driveway will be located approximately 40 feet west of South Main Street; with the
second driveway will be 150 further west. An internal driveway aisle across the front of the store
will link the two driveway entries. Each driveway will provide a 30 long throat distance to the
17

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
first on-site parking space. This driveway design is projected to provide satisfactory operations
given the low traffic volumes on Industrial Avenue together with traffic volumes projected to be
generated by the business.
According to the applicant, the architectural design of the proposed retail store is consistent with
other AutoZone Inc. stores throughout the United States. As shown in attachments 7 and 8, the
retail store will be a single story building that will have a stucco finish and painted in neutral
colors. A cultured stone veneer (Chardonnay, Country Ledge stone) and a 4-inch split face
block veneer will provide architectural interest and depth to the outside walls. The roof line will
be level and surrounded by a cornice outlined with aluminum coping (una-clad dark bronze).
The proponent has indicated that the new store project will also include the following
improvements:
Improvements to the curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the Industrial Avenue frontage
(south and north sides of Industrial Avenue) and the returns at South Main Street and
Industrial Avenue.
Relocation of a fire hydrant from the northeast corner (along South Main Street) to a new
location on the northeast side of the property. All proposed structures are within a 250foot hose lay length from a fire hydrant. In compliance with the Citys Fire Code, the fire
hydrant and the water lateral feeding the hydrant are at least 6 inches in size.
Installation of a new eight-inch fire service water lateral line between Industrial Avenue
and the retail building.
Relocation of a power pole at the northeast corner of the property.
Installation of a new sewer lateral from the west side of the building and down Industrial
Avenue to provide a connection to the line on the east side of South Main Street.
Installation of a new water line from the west corner of the building and down Industrial
Avenue to connect to the existing 14-inch water main in South Main Street.
Construction of an underground storm drain detention system (including a 500 cubic foot
underground storage basin) that ties into the existing storm drain system at the south
side of the site.
Installation of a fence along the western edge of the property.
Paving of Industrial Avenue and disturbed sections of South Main Street.
All improvements are to be installed per the Citys standards.

Landscaped areas will surround the retail building and parking lots, as shown on the preliminary
landscape plan (Attachment 9).
The preliminary landscape plan was prepared by a landscape architect and identifies numerous
new planting areas throughout the project site. The plan shows 23 15-gallon trees (Chinese
Pistache, Bay Laurel, and Crape Myrtle) and several shrubs around the perimeters of the
building and parking lot and three one gallon containers of a vine (creeping fig) around the trash
enclosure. The City is requesting that trees not be placed over the existing underground storm
drains along the southern property boundary at the rear of the building.
All landscaped areas will be provided with underground automated irrigation systems in
accordance with the Citys development standards. The preliminary landscape plan also
provides calculations of the parking tree canopy shade and anticipated water budget. The
irrigation system is designed to comply with the Water Efficient Landscaping regulations
adopted by the State.
18

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
The landscaping materials are required to be continuously maintained over the life of the project
and will be replaced if necessary.
AutoZone is proposing to install a 50-square-foot pylon sign that will be 25 feet in overall height
and two wall signs that total 100 square feet in size. AutoZone is requesting a sign variance
from Chapter 17.52 of the Municipal Code which allows for two wall signs not to exceed a
combined 50 square feet in area. AutoZone is requesting two (2) signs that are 67 and 33
square feet respectively. AutoZone is requesting the City approve a variance that will allow for
larger sign areaan additional 50 square feet beyond what is allowed.
All construction equipment and materials would be temporarily stored on the project site during
construction. The construction site would be accessed from Industrial Avenue.
The project is expected to be constructed during a 4-month period. AutoZone Inc. is proposing
to construct the project, pending City approvals, in 2016. Construction activities related to the
AutoZone store are not anticipated to be phased.

No
N/A
Is there mechanical equipment or other

utility hardware on the roof or the ground?
Mechanical equipment should be screened
from public view with materials harmonious
with the building, or they should be so
located as not to be visible from public view.
Two HVAC units will be

placed on the roof. These
units will be adequately
screened by parapet walls.
Are building components such as windows,

doors, eaves, and parapets, in proportion to
one another?
The building elevations and

plans indicate that the
building components are in
proper proportion to one
another.
Are the structural lines of a building and its

materials retained at the storefront level?
For instance, brick piers and columns should
be carried down to street level.
The submitted plan shows

that the structural lines of the
retail building and materials
are consistent on all sides of
the building.
Is the roof shape (flat, hip, mansard, or

gable) and material architecturally
compatible with the rest of the building and
does it reflect the area pattern?
The flat roof design is

compatible with the
architectural design of the
building.
Have the building materials been selected

for suitability to the type of building and the
design in which it will be used? Buildings
should have the same materials, or those
that are architecturally harmonious, used for
all building walls and other exterior building
components wholly or partly visible from
public ways. Materials should be of durable
quality.
The materials that will be

used in conjunction with the
proposed retail project are
suitable for its intended use.
Retail stores receive a
significant amount of use by
the public and materials used
in their construction must be
durable and hold up to heavy
public usage.
Are there metal awnings present? Metal

awnings are not recommended. Awnings
should have solid colors complementing the
exterior building colors. Awnings should be
in scale with the building design.
The building elevations plan

(Attachment 7) shows that
dark bronze metal awnings
are proposed for the front
(east side) and north sides of
the building. The awnings will
extend over the storefront
windows and customer entry
areas. The dark bronze color
was chosen because it
complements the exterior
building colors (tans and
browns). Staff has

color should be the natural color of the
masonry or a primary paint color. The base
color should relate harmoniously with the
base colors on contiguous or close by
buildings.
The color and material

boards submitted as part of
the application (Attachment
8) indicate that the exterior
siding materials will feature
two primary base colors
which are varying shades of
brown (sand dune and
nuthatch). The cultured
stone veneer and split-face
block veneer in the lower
portions of the structures will
have various earth tones
described as earth blend.
The Citys paint criteria
encourage the use of
contrasting colors which
accent architectural details.
The upper cornice with the
stucco finish and projected
accent with stucco finish will
be in reliable white. The

Light base colors will visually project and

lessen the importance of the building mass.
Darker base colors tend to visually recede
and emphasize the trim. The major trim
color is used on the decorative elements
which serve to define the facade of the
building. These include the upper and lower
cornices, window caps and sills, and
storefront columns.
As shown in Attachment 8,
sand dune (light tan) and
nuthatch (light brown) will be
used as the base colors of the
building and lessen the
importance of the building
mass.
When the base color of the building is a

natural brick, the major trim color should be
related to the brick color. When the base
color is painted, the trim color should
complement the base color. The minor trim
color should be used primarily as an accent
to highlight the architectural details of the
facade. Window frames and other trim
elements can be emphasized by the minor
trim color. Sometimes two colors can be
used as a minor trim color depending on
how much detail exists.
The proposed siding colors

complement the earth tone
shades found in the cultured
stone and split-face block
veneers. The other building
components (windows,
gutters/downspouts, doors,
etc.) provide appropriate
accent colors.
Does the new building or project comply with

the following general building color
guidelines?
The proposed colors are

generally in compliance with
these criteria. No
disharmonious colors are
proposed.
Use more subtle colors on larger and

plainer buildings.
Use more colors and more intense
colors on small buildings and those

Criteria Regarding Buffering and

Incompatible Uses and Site Lighting
Does the project include features that may

have negative impacts upon adjacent
properties? If so, are they adequately
buffered from the adjacent properties? Is
screening provided for roof equipment? Are
parking and loading areas adequately
screened from residential areas? Are
garbage and dumpster areas provided with
adequate and durable enclosures? Will
landscaping be used to soften the impact of
parking and loading areas?
The proposed project does

not include any features that
will negatively impact
adjacent properties. The new
retail building and related site
improvements are consistent
with the adjacent developed
properties.
Screening by parapets is
provided for the two roofmounted HVAC units.
Parking areas and loading
areas are not visible from
residential areas.
A trash enclosure will be
provided in the southwest
corner of the parking lot.
Proposed enclosure will be
required to meet the
requirements of the Municipal
Code and the requirements of
Lakeport Disposal.
Creeping fig vines will be
planted around the enclosure
to further screen the trash
enclosure from view.
Landscaping will be provided
in and around the perimeter
of the retail building and
parking lot to soften the
impact of parking and loading
areas.
Are there areas where parking lot paving

sidewalk on the east side.
Landscaping around the
parking lot provides a buffer
between the parking lot and
sidewalk to be constructed
along Industrial Avenue.
If proposed, will new light standards and/or

building fixtures be of a design and size
compatible with the historic character of the
area, building, and adjacent areas?
Nine (9) wall-mounted light

fixtures have been identified
for the front (east), west, and
north sides of the retail
building. The style of the
proposed lighting is
appropriate for the proposed
project.
The project photometric plan
(Attachment 10) indicates that
four (4) 28-foot-tall parking
lights will be installed around
the perimeter of the project
site. Two of the light poles
will be double heads and
installed on the east and west
sides of the property to cast
light on the parking lots. The
two single head parking lights
will be placed on the north
side of the project site.
The proposed height of the
light standards (28 feet) is not
consistent with a policy set
forth in the Citys General
Plan. Policy CD 7.7 of the
General Plan Community
Design Element addresses
the height of light fixtures in
parking lots and suggests that
they not exceed 18 in height.
Staff has developed a
mitigation measure
recommending that the height
of the light standards be
reduced to a maximum of 18
if it is determined that the
height reduction will not
detrimentally affect the sites
illumination requirements.

See above discussion.
Criteria Regarding the Maintenance of the

Building and Project Site
Will the choice of materials and their use,

together with the types of finishes and other
protective measures, be conducive to easy
maintenance and upkeep?
The proposed project

materials, together with the
types of finishes and other
protective measures, are
conducive to easy
maintenance and upkeep. As
part of the project and future
maintenance of the retail
building, the exterior of the
buildings and all related site
improvements will be
maintained in good condition
for the life of the project. Any
damaged or dilapidated
portions of the buildings or
related site improvements will
be promptly repaired or
replaced as necessary.
Have the materials and finishes been

selected for their durability and wear as well
as for their beauty? Proper measures shall
be taken to protect against the elements,
neglect, damage, and abuse.
As previously noted, the

building materials used for
this project are expected to
be durable and long-lasting.
Are there provisions for washing and

cleaning of buildings and structures and
control of dirt and refuse included in the
design? Improvements that tend to catch
and accumulate debris, leaves, trash, dirt,
and rubbish shall be avoided.
It is unclear if provisions for

the cleaning of the building to
control dirt and debris have
been provided for. A
recommended condition of
approval calls for the
continual maintenance of the
building and site
improvements.

Criteria Regarding Landscaping Design
The most common function of landscaping

is aesthetic. Through the use of plantings
and other landscaping elements, a site
may be made more pleasing and/or
undesirable views may be hidden.
Landscaping can help unify the composite
parts of a site and buffer incompatible
uses. Landscaping can complement the
design of a building, add color to the built
environment, or soften spaces or surfaces
that appear cold or unwelcoming.
The project preliminary

landscaping plan is shown on
Sheet P1. AutoZone will
submit a final landscaping
plan prior to the issuance of a
construction permit.
The plan was prepared by a
landscape architect (MSLA
Landscape Architecture) and
identifies planting areas
around the perimeter of the
entire site.
All landscaped areas will be
provided with underground
automated irrigation systems
in accordance with the Citys
development standards
according to the submitted
plan. The project plan
indicates the irrigation system
will comply with the Water
Efficient Landscaping
regulations required by the
State.
The landscaping materials
will be continuously
maintained and watered over
the life of the project.
Landscaping will also be
replaced if necessary.
Landscaping may be used to control soil

erosion, reduce harsh unpleasant sounds,
remove pollutants from the air, control
glare and reflection, and slow the effects of
erosive winds.
As shown in the project

landscape plan (Sheet P1),
landscaping will surround the
retail building and parking lot
and will control soil erosion,
reduce harsh unpleasant
sounds, remove pollutants
from the air, control glare and
reflection, and slow the
effects of erosive winds.
Shade trees and windbreaks are examples

of landscaping elements used for climate
control. Plants increase human comfort by
shading the suns rays and intercepting
solar radiation.
The landscape plan identifies

23 new 15-gallon trees
around the perimeter of the
retail store. However some of
the proposed trees are shown
to be planted in the storm
drain easement area to the

south of the building. This

proposed planting area is
problematic because roots
could interfere with storm
drain piping and future
maintenance activities.
Project conditions call for the
removal of deep rooted
landscaping in this area.
X
Landscaping elements can also block and

divert winds or channel them through
narrow openings. When the prevailing
wind direction shifts with the season, a
summer breeze can be captured and
winter winds and rains diverted with careful
placement of plantings and buildings.
Long, thin walls are the most effective
windbreaks, particularly if they are not
completely impenetrable.
It appears that the location of

the proposed trees around
the perimeter of the site and
the retail building will act as
an effective windbreak.
Architectural and Design Review Application Findings:

LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT APPLICATION

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An existing commercial building on APN 005-045-28 encroaches
over the property line to the west, APN 005-045-030. The common lot line would be moved to
the west between these two properties so that the existing building resides entirely on its own
parcel with an appropriate property line setback. In accordance with the Lakeport Municipal
Code, the project proponents have submitted an application for a lot line adjustment for the
purpose of reconfiguring a common lot line separating two adjoining parcels (Attachment 5). A
map detailing the proposed lot line adjustment has been submitted as part of the TPM.
Robert and Toni Funderburg are the land owners of the Lakeport Tire and Auto Service facility
located at 1901 South Main Street and further described as APN 005-045-31 and an adjacent
lot at 292 Industrial Avenue further described as APN 05-045-028 (APN -28). The Funderburg
site includes a metal storage building on APN -28 that was mistakenly constructed overtop of
and across the common lot line of the adjacent land owned by Sam LaMonica (301 Industrial
Avenue, APN 05-045-30. The Funderburg metal building encroaches into the LaMonica
property (APN -30) a distance of 13 feet. The encroachment must be eliminated through the
City Lot Line Adjustment process prior to the recordation of the parcel map.
The Funderburg lot has a dimension of 110 x 140 and a land area of 15,000 square feet. The
LaMonica land has varied perimeter dimensions and a land area of 8.532 acres or 371,653
square feet. The intent is to rectify the building location problem and adjust the common lot line
between the two parcels a distance of 18 feet to the west, thereby eliminating the encroachment
and providing for a new property line location along with a 5 setback between the building and
the relocated lot line.
The lot line adjustment is depicted on the TPM prepared by the applicant. The TPM - lot line
adjustment map identifies the existing site improvements and existing and proposed parcel
lines.

CONFORMANCE WITH TITLE 16, SECTION 16.23.010 OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT

MUNICIPAL CODE:
A lot line adjustment between two or more existing adjacent parcels, where the land
taken from one parcel is added to an adjacent parcel, and where a greater number of
parcels than originally existed are not thereby created, may be permitted without a
subdivision or parcel map provided the lot line adjustment is approved by the City.
The City shall limit its review and approval to a determination of whether or not the
parcels resulting from the lot line adjustment will conform to local zoning and building
ordinances. The City shall not impose conditions or exactions on its approval of a lot
line adjustment except to conform to local zoning and building ordinances, to require
the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the lot line adjustment, or
to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, or easements. No TPM,
parcel map, or final map shall be required as a condition to the approval of a lot line
adjustment. The lot line adjustment shall be reflected in deeds which shall be
recorded. No record of survey shall be required for a lot line adjustment unless
required by Section 8762 of the Business and Professions Code.
Staff analysis: The lot line adjustment proposed by the applicants involves the reconfiguration
of two legal parcels. The proposed lot line adjustment will eliminate the existing building
encroachment issue, allow for the recordation of the Parcel Map and enhance the development
potential of both APNs 05-045-30 and -28.
The lot line adjustment will take 2,520 square feet (18 x 140) of land from APN -30 and add it
to APN -28. The resulting new land area for APN -30 LaMonica will be 369,134 square feet or
8.474 acres. The resulting land area for APN -28 will be 17,520 square feet. The Industrial
Avenue Street frontage for APN -28 will increase to 128 lineal feet.
The proposed lot line adjustment is exempt from the provisions of the California Subdivision
Map Act according to California Government Code Section 66415 d. which indicates that the
exemption applies to lot line adjustments involving four or fewer parcels which do not create a
greater number of parcels than originally existed. Government Code Section 66412 d. indicates
that local agencies may not impose conditions or exactions on lot line adjustment approvals
except to: 1) conform to local General Plan and Zoning and Building Ordinances; 2) facilitate
the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, or easements; or 3) require the pre-payment of
property taxes.
Section 66412 d. also indicates that no TPM, parcel map, or final map may be required as a
condition of approval of the lot line adjustment. A record of survey cannot be required for the lot
line adjustment unless it is required under Section 8762 of the California Business and
Professions Code.
Notice of the lot line adjustment proposal has been referred to City Departments and affected
agencies. The County Assessors office indicated that the proposal will not affect the existing
parcel numbers. The City Engineer had no engineering issues. No other comments were
received.
Lot Line Adjustment Application Findings:
1. An existing commercial building on APN 05-045-28 encroaches over the property line to
the west, APN 05-045-030.
2. Robert and Toni Funderburg - land owners of APN 05-045-028 (APN -28).
3. The metal storage building on APN -28 was constructed overtop of and across the
common lot line of the adjacent land held by Sam LaMonica.

4. Sam LaMonica is the land owner of adjacent 301 Industrial Avenue land which is further
described as APN 05-045-30 (APN -30).
5. The lot line adjustment will eliminate the building encroachment issue, allow for the
recordation of the parcel map and enhance the development potential of both APNs 05045-30 and -28.
6. The lot line adjustment is in conformance with the lot line adjustment criteria outlined in
the Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance. The Lot Line Adjustment is exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15305 Class 5 (a)
of the CEQA Guidelines.
Lot Line Adjustment Application Recommendation:

SIGN VARIANCE APPLICATION

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, as part of their request for the development of a new
7,842 square foot retail building on proposed Parcel #1, has submitted a request for a variance
to exceed the maximum allowed signage for a retail building within the C-2, Major Retail zoning
district to allow for an additional 50 square feet of building mounted signage or a 100% increase
in what is currently allowed per Section 17.52.050 of the zoning ordinance. In addition to the
application, a site plan, rendering of the proposed signage and a variance justification statement
have been submitted. The entire sign variance request is provided as Attachment 11 of this
staff report.
The current sign proposal includes three signs: 1) A 25 foot high double-faced freestanding
pylon sign with 50 square feet of signage proposed for each sign face (a total of 100 square
feet); 2) a 33 square foot building mounted sign on the north elevation of the building facing
Industrial Avenue; and, 3) a 67 square foot building mounted sign on the east building elevation
facing South Main Street.

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 with Section 17.52.060 of the zoning
ordinancepermits an additional building mounted sign for retail operations in the C-2 zoning
district on corner lots but does still limits the total amount of building mounted signage to 50

The applicants request for an additional 50 square feet in building mounted signage therefore
requires the approval of a variance by the Lakeport Planning Commission.
According to Section 17.52.130 Variances of the Municipal Code - Sign Ordinance, where
practical difficulties, unnecessary hardships and results inconsistent with the general purposes
of the Sign Ordinance may occur due to the strict application of the Ordinance, a Sign Variance
may be granted by the Planning Commission as provided for in the City Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 17.26. This section of the Sign Ordinance goes on to say that economic hardships shall
not be considered a practical difficulty.
CONFORMANCE WITH CHAPTER 17.26, SECTION 17.26.050, OF THE LAKEPORT
MUNICIPAL CODE, VARIANCE FINDINGS
Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall record their decision in writing and
shall recite the findings upon which such decision is based, pursuant to Section 65906 of the
Government Code. The Commission may approve and/or modify an application in whole or in
part, with or without conditions, only if all of the following findings are made:
A. The strict application of this Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by
other properties in the vicinity, and under identical land use district classification, due
to special circumstances applicable to the property including size, shape,
topography, location, or surroundings;
B. That granting the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and land
use district and denied to the property for which the variance is sought;
C. That granting the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and
land use district in which the property is located;
D. That granting the variance does not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with
the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district in which such
property is located;
E. That granting the variance does not allow a use or activity which is not otherwise
expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel; and
34

PM 14-01/ZC 14-01/AR 14-11/LLA 14-01/VA14-01/ER 14-01
F. That granting the variance will not be inconsistent with the Lakeport General Plan.
In terms of compliance with the Municipal Code provisions regarding the granting of a variance,
the Planning Commission must review the information submitted by the applicant, contained in
the staff report, and received at the public hearing. The Planning Commission must make
findings that the proposal is in compliance with the criteria outlined above. Staff has addressed
each criterion in the order listed above.
Staff Analysis:
A. In the applicants variance justification statement it is noted that the strict application of the
Sign Ordinance allowing for a maximum of 50 square feet of building mounted signage
does not adequately allow AutoZone to brand our store and stay competitive with the
OReilly Auto parts store next door. It is further stated by the applicant that: If we were
denied the variance as requested, we feel that we would be put at a competitive
disadvantage and thus creates our hardship.
The referenced OReillys Auto Parts store is located 2011 South Main Street and is situated
within the KMART shopping center lying immediately adjacent to the proposed AutoZone
store to the south. Although the OReilly Auto Parts and proposed AutoZone stores are both
located within the C-2 zoning district, the sign regulations provided per Section 17.52 of the
zoning ordinance and applicable Planning Commission resolutions of interpretation provide
differing criteria for retail stores located within shopping centers and that of standalone
operations, respectively.
Signage for the OReilly Auto Parts retail building at 2011 South Main Street site was
approved as part of an Architectural and Design Review application AR 98-008 for a Kragen
Auto Parts operations. Regulations for signage within shopping centers is guided by the
Planning Commission Resolution No. 58 which permits 1.5 square feet of signage for each
lineal foot of leased store frontage. With 100 feet of lineal frontage the site was permitted a
maximum of 150 square feet of building mounted signage limited to a maximum of two (2)
building mounted signs. Detached signage for individual tenants within a shopping center
without a central marquee sign are limited to a low profile monument sign subject to the
approval of the Planning Commission. In this instance the site was permitted a monument
sign of 5 feet in height with signage area limited to a maximum of 30 square feet per side.
Approved building mounted signage allowed for a 90 square foot sign for the south building
elevation and a 60 square foot sign for the east building elevation.
In 2011, the building was purchased by OReilly Auto Parts and a building permit was
obtained for the changing of signs. As a part of that building permit the building mounted
signage was reduced below what was permitted by AR 98-008. Both the building mounted
signage on the south and east building frontages are 45 square feet in size (total of 90
square feet). In conclusion the OReilly Auto Parts store currently has 40 additional square
feet of signage more than what would be permitted for the proposed AutoZone building.

Staff believes that the strict application of the provisions of the Sign Ordinance does not
deprive the property of privileges and enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity. Although
the permitted amount of building signage for the proposed site is 40 square less than what is
permitted for a like operation in the neighboring shopping center it is important to note that
the amount of freestanding signage for the AutoZone site allows for 100 square feet
whereas the OReilly Auto Parts store is limited to 60 square feet. As such both locations
would be permitted 150 square feet in total signage between three signs (building mounted
and freestanding).
B. The granting the proposed Variance is not necessary in order to allow the applicant the
benefit of displaying two building-mounted signs. Planning Commission Resolution No. 46
permits retail establishments on corner lots within the C-2 zoning district to have two (2)
building mounted signs oriented to each separate street frontage. See variance staff
analysis section A above for additional discussion.
C. The granting of this variance would not be material detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the site.
D. Approval of the proposed Variance could constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and land use district in which the subject
property is located. If approved the granting of the variance would allow for a 100%
increase in the amount of building mounted signage beyond that permitted by the zoning
ordinance. Furthermore, the proposed AutoZone operation would be permitted 10 additional
square feet in signage beyond that permitted for the neighboring OReilly Auto Parts store.
The proposed AutoZone operation is already entitled to 60 additional square feet in the
amount of freestanding signage than what is permitted under the zoning ordinance for the
OReilly Auto Parts store location.
E. Approval of the proposed Variance would allow for the installation of an additional 50 square
feet of signage on the proposed new retail building. The Citys sign regulations allow
businesses with more than one street frontage to display two building-mounted signs
provided the total signage does not exceed 50 square feet. Approval of the Variance would
allow a sign which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the regulations governing the
subject property.
F. The Lakeport General Plan includes numerous goals and polices related to enhancing the
Citys business climate and promoting economic development in order to attain an
economically viable and self-sustaining community (Lakeport General Plan, Pg. VI-1).
There are General Plan objectives related to supporting existing businesses, fostering a
supportive business environment, and maintaining the financial viability of the City. The
overall tone of these objectives is to support and enhance the local business climate for the
betterment of the community. Approval of the Variance could be considered a special
consideration that would promote and enhance the new business. However, as previously
stated, economic considerations are not intended to factor into the consideration of a
Variance. In staffs opinion, the AutoZone store will be prominently located along South
Main Street. It will feature a tall freestanding sign plus two building-mounted signs. It does
not appear that public visibility will be an issue for the applicant.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Based on the information that has been submitted
by the applicant it is concluded that the proposed Variance to allow additional building mounted
sign square footage in excess of what is permitted by the Sign Ordinance for the new AutoZone
retail store is not in conformance with the applicable criteria set forth in the Municipal Code,
including the required variance findings set forth in Section 17.26.050.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the Sign ordinance Variance request.

Environmental Quality Act according to Section 15305, Class 5(a), of the CEQA guidelines.
INITIAL STUDY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

The proposed Zone Change from I - Industrial to C-2 Major Retail, the 4 lot TPM and required
improvements, and the Architectural and Design Review application for the 7,842 square foot
retail building and related site improvements is defined as the project per the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project is subject to the provisions of CEQA and is also
subject to Chapter 8.08 of the City of Lakeport Municipal Code and Resolution No. 1160 which
details the Citys environmental review procedures.
Notice of the project has been provided to City departments and affected agencies and the
submitted comments are addressed in the Initial Study/Environmental review (Attachment 2). A
20-day public review period for the proposed mitigated negative declaration in accordance with
CEQA has also been conducted beginning on November 19, 2015. At the time of writing the
staff report no comments from the public regarding the proposed Initial Study/Environmental
Review have been received. Comments from the public are still permitted to be received
through the December 9, 2015 public hearing scheduled before the Planning Commission.
The potentially significant effects identified in the Initial Study/Environmental Review include:
aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, hydrology/water quality,
geology/soils, public services, noise, transportation/traffic, and utilities and service systems.
Staff has developed mitigation measures which have been agreed to by the applicant, and when
implemented will mitigate the identified environmental impacts to a less than significant level.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
project as provided for in the California Environmental Quality Act based on the following
findings:
1. Potential environmental impacts related to Aesthetics have been mitigated to

less than significant levels by mitigation measures 1 thru 4.
2. Potential environmental impacts related to Air Quality have been mitigated to less
than significant levels by mitigation measures 5 thru 10.
3. Potential environmental impacts related to Biological Resources have been
mitigated to less than significant levels by mitigation measures 11 and 12.
4. Potential environmental impacts related to Cultural Resources have been
mitigated to less than significant levels by mitigation measures 13 thru 15.
5. Potential environmental impacts related to Geology and Soils have been
mitigated to less than significant levels by mitigation measure 16.
6. Potential environmental impacts related to Hydrology and Water Quality have
been mitigated to less than significant levels by mitigation measures 17 thru 31.
7. Potential environmental impacts related to Noise have been mitigated to less than
significant levels by mitigation measure 32.
8. Potential environmental impacts related to Public Services have been mitigated to
less than significant levels by mitigation measures 33 thru 35.

Mandatory Findings of Significance
DETERMINATION
On the basis of the initial evaluation that follows:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or
agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a potentially significant impact or potentially
significant unless mitigated impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has
been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets. A TIERED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, no further environmental
document is required. FINDINGS consistent with this determination will be prepared.

CEQA Initial Study
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:

1)
A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported
by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact"
answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does
not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No
Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general
standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific
screening analysis).
2)
All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3)
Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, and then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation,
or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that
an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the
determination is made, an EIR is required.
4)
"Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII,
"Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).
5)
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In
this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a)
Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b)
Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis.
c)
Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6)
Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside
document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is
substantiated.
7)
Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8)
This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies
should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental
effects in whatever format is selected.
9)
The explanation of each issue should identify:

a)
the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b)
the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance

I. AESTHETICS: The project will change the general appearance of the subject property. The
construction of subdivision improvements including the public street and utilities and the development
of a new building and site improvements will alter the sites existing appearance. The project must be
reviewed and approved by the City Planning Commission and City Council under the Citys Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinances. Potential aesthetic impacts are discussed below and those aesthetic issues
beyond the scope of the CEQA checklist are addressed in the Architectural and Design Review section of

Response I a): The project will not have a substantial adverse effect on established scenic vistas. Figure
16 of the Lakeport General Plan (Conservation, Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element) details
environmentally sensitive areas, including view corridors. No view corridors exist in the vicinity of the
project. The nearest view corridor is north of the project site near Grace Lane. There is no impact.
Response I b): The project will not substantially damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway.
State Route 29 is located immediately adjacent to the west of the project site but is not designated a
scenic highway. There is no scenic highway in the vicinity of the project site according to the State of
California
Department
of
Transportation
website
(http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LandArch/scenic/cahisys.htm). There is no impact.
Response I c): The project will not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the
site and its surroundings. The project site is an 8.5 acre parcel that is partially developed. The
subdivision of the land will change the overall visual character in that new street improvements will be
developed. The new retail building will be constructed on a lot that is currently undeveloped, vacant,
and surrounded by commercial uses. The applicant has provided exterior building elevations, material
details, and other supplemental information regarding the proposed appearance of the new retail store
and related improvements. Based on the submitted materials, it appears that the proposed
improvements are generally in compliance with the Citys Architectural and Design Review criteria which
address a variety of topics, including the requirement that new development harmonize style,

CEQA Initial Study
intensity, and type of construction with the natural environment and respect the unique features of
each site and the surrounding area.1 Staff has developed a mitigation measure which calls for the
provision of effective and complimentary screens around visible mechanical equipment associated with
the AutoZone store. This impact is less than significant with mitigation.
Response I d): The project including the subdivision of the land into 4 parcels, the construction of a new
public street, and the installation of new utilities will promote additional development and exterior
lighting. New street lights will need to be installed to City and PG&E standards along Industrial Avenue.
A photometric plan was submitted by AutoZone but only for the proposed new store location and
related improvements. The AutoZone photometric analysis did not address the entire TPM area.
The new retail store plans five wall-mounted light fixtures and four soffit lights for the front (east), west,
and north sides of the retail building. The location of the wall-mounted and soffit light fixtures on the
retail building is shown on Sheets CE1 and PH1.
The project photometric plan (Sheet PH1) indicates that four (4) 28-foot-tall parking lights will be
installed around the perimeter of the AutoZone parking lot. Two of the light poles will be double heads
and installed on the east and west sides of the property to cast light on the parking lots. The two single
head parking lights will be placed on the north side of the of the project site. The photometric plan
shows the light dispersion pattern and the potential impacts to adjacent properties. The photometric
plan indicates that the most intensive lighting impacts will be within the AutoZone parking area and on
the building and adjacent walkways. There does appear to be some spill over into South Main Street as
well; however, at much lower values.
The creation of new light sources that could impact nighttime views is a potentially significant
environmental impact. The exterior lighting serving the new retail building and related parking,
entrances, and pedestrian areas will need to be shielded, provided with property line cut-offs, and/or
down-lit so as to eliminate glare-related impacts to adjacent properties and the public right-of-ways
along Industrial Avenue and South Main Street. A mitigation measure requires the installation of
adequately-shielded parking lot and building-mounted lighting.
As shown on the plan, the proposed luminaire schedule indicates that the proposed project would not
create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day time views in the area.
However, the proposed height of the light standards (28 feet) is not consistent with a policy set forth in
the Citys General Plan. Policy CD 7.7 of the General Plan Community Design Element addresses the
height of light fixtures suggests that light standard height should be related to the lighting need of the
use: street lights up to 30 feet high, parking areas up to 18 high; walkways and malls up to 15 feet high;
planting areas up to 3 feet high.2 Staff has developed a mitigation measure recommending that the
height of the light standards be reduced to a maximum of 18 if it is determined that the height
reduction will not detrimentally affect the sites illumination requirements.
All future improvements constructed on the proposed parcels will be required to comply with the Citys
Architectural and Design Review standards for commercial/industrial projects set forth in Chapter 17.27
of the Municipal Code as well as the performance standards set forth in Chapter 17.28.
Aesthetic impacts are less than significant with mitigation.

II. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES:

In determining whether the project will cause impact to agricultural resources that are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model
to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impact to forest
resources, including timberland are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to
information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the states
inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy
Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted
by the California Air Resources Board.

Response II a): According to the State of California Important Farmland Map for Lake County and the
State of California Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection
(ftp://ftp.consrv.ca.gov/pub/dlrp/ FMMP/pdf/2006/lak06.pdf), the project site is not considered prime
farmland, unique farmland or farmland of statewide importance. The project site is located in an
Urban and Built-Up Land area according to the Important Farmland Map. The project will not result in
the conversion of prime farmland to non-agricultural use. There is no impact.
Response II b): The site is not zoned for agricultural uses and City and County records indicate that it is
not subject to a Williamson Act contract. There is no impact.
Response II c), d): The site is not zoned for forest uses or timberland and the project will not result in
the loss or conversion of existing forest land. There is no impact.
Response II e): There are no aspects of the project that would result in the conversion of farmland to a
non-agricultural use or the conversion of forest land to non-forest use. There is no impact.
No recommended mitigation measures.
III. AIR QUALITY:

Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.
Would the project:

Response III a): Notice of the project was provided to the Lake County Air Quality Management District
(LCAQMD) and there was no indication that the proposed project will conflict with or obstruct the
implementation of the Countys Air Quality program. The LCAQMD indicates the project can be
supported for air quality concerns provided that certain concerns are adequately addressed. There is
no impact.
Response III b): The construction of the project including the proposed subdivision improvements
including the new street, utilities, storm drain systems, the new retail store and the related site
improvements will result in temporary localized increases in particulate air pollution related to
earthmoving, hauling, trenching, demolition, and other construction activities. Construction activities
also result in pollutant emissions from the operation of gasoline and diesel powered equipment. These
potential impacts are less than significant with mitigation with mitigation.
See conclusion of report for recommended mitigation measures related to minimizing the generation of
dust during construction periods and other potential air quality-related issues.
Response III c): Based on the response from LCAQMD, development of the project will not directly
result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant not currently in attainment.
The Lake County region is currently under attainment levels for all criteria pollutants. There is no
impact.
Response III d, e): The project is not expected to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations or result in the creation of objectionable odors. Sensitive receptors in the City of
Lakeport include residences, schools, parks, medical offices and convalescent homes. Residential areas
to the east and southeast of the project site may be considered sensitive receptors.
According to Figure 19 (Serpentine Rock and Soils) in the General Plan, there are no serpentine soils
mapped on the project site. Serpentine soils are mapped immediately north of Industrial Avenue. The
geotechnical study that was prepared for the project did not indicate that serpentine soils are present
on the project site (GeoBoden Inc., 2013).
The project will result in a slight increase in traffic volumes and related vehicle emissions in the area.
However, the potential increase in emissions associated with the project is not significant and will not

Air quality impacts associated with the future retail activities are less than significant with mitigation
incorporation. See conclusion of report for the recommended mitigation measure.

CEQA Initial Study
The development of TPM/subdivision improvements may result in temporary localized increases in

particulate air pollution. Street and utility construction, storm drain line construction, site filling and
compacting of the AutoZone building and parking lot pad will create potentially significant air quality
impacts. In order to minimize the generation of dust or other air quality problems during construction
periods, appropriate mitigation measures in conjunction with all development stages and projects is
necessary.
Notice of the proposal was provided to the Lake County Air Quality Management District (LCAQMD) and
the following comments were submitted:
Parcel splits into 4 parcels or less would not be expected to have a significant air quality impacts
with adequate construction phase dust controls and road surfacing requirements. Access roads and
driveways are recommended to be asphaltic concrete, concrete or other durable surface that is not
subject to fugitive dust generation. No significant impact in this regard would be expected if
whatever utilized access is a paved and maintained surface.
The subject property is located near an area known to contain serpentine rock and/or soils.
Serpentine commonly contains regulated amounts of asbestos. The applicant should be aware of
the District and State of California serpentine regulations regarding disturbing this material. If
serpentine is found to be present during grading or construction, compliance with the requirements
of the Districts serpentine control regulation is required. The Districts regulation requires an
approved serpentine dust control plan, no visible emissions, worker notification, posting and
covering of disturbed serpentine surfaces subject to traffic wear or wind erosion. Depending on the
size of the project the State requires specific prescribed requirements. The District should be
contacted prior to disturbing serpentine materials.
The District recommends that vegetation removed during lot development and construction phase
on Parcels 1 and 3 be chipped and spread for erosion control. (Staff note: There are no plans to
remove any vegetation in conjunction with the proposed project.)
With adequate mitigation, the project should not have a significant air quality impact and a
mitigated negative declaration could be supported for air quality issues.
In order to minimize the generation of dust during construction, site grading and building activities
should be avoided during windy periods and all surfaces subject to grading and/or heavy traffic and
equipment usage, including public streets, should be wetted down with water. Materials transported to
and from the site must be covered or thoroughly watered in order to minimize fugitive dust and any
spilled materials must be removed from City roadways immediately.
Development or redevelopment of the proposed parcels will likely result in increased traffic volumes
and related vehicle emissions in the area. These potential impacts will be evaluated in conjunction with
future development proposals. However, the potential increase in emissions associated with future
development is not expected to detrimentally affect the existing air quality in the area.
The proposed subdivision will not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or create objectionable
odors that will affect a substantial number of people.

The project site has been previously partially developed and substantially altered and disturbed by
previously grading and filling activities and is now generally open and not heavily vegetated except for
several locations around the perimeter of the property.
The most notable vegetation exists along the northern property line where there is a linear stand of
Cottonwood, Willow, Oak trees and underbrush, adjacent to a pond in the southern triangular shaped
area of APN 05-045-29 south of McAtees Marine, in between K Mart and Hwy 29, and a line of
Cottonwood and Willow trees in and adjacent to the open surface water channel south of McAtees
Marine.
County GIS maps also show a cluster of cottonwood and oak trees in the vicinity of a small storm water
drainage course that extends through the APN 05-045-29. The trees and vegetation around the
drainage course and to the west of the Kmart retention/mitigation pond is habitat harboring/sheltering
various bird species and other small wildlife typically found in a wetland or riparian areas.
The southern edge of the project site contains a berm with non-native grasses. The southern side of the
berm on the K-Mart side has been planted with redwood trees.
The project site is not known to support any potential waters of the United States, however there are
wetlands and a potentially sensitive natural community/habitat suitable for special-status species along
the west side of the retention/mitigation pond to the west of the Kmart building and the open drainage
channels. The project may lead to a potentially significant impact on the environment around this pond
and drainage channels and mitigation in the form of a 20 foot development setback from the top of
banks (where remaining) is recommended.
The site has moderate habitat function and biologic value for potentially important plant and animal
species.
It appears that the proposed parcels can be developed or redeveloped without significantly altering the
sites existing biological resources as long as appropriate mitigation measures are implemented.
Response IV a): The project would not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through
habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in
local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This determination is based on the disturbed nature of the site, moderate
habitat conditions, and a review of existing information, including the California Department of Fish and
12
Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
Wildlife Natural Diversity Data Base records for the area (2014). No special-status species have been
previously reported on the project site (CNDDB 2014). Therefore, there is no impact.
Response IV b): The project could have a substantial adverse effect on the limited riparian habitat
adjacent to and west of the Kmart retention/mitigation pond and those areas associated with the
drainage channels. Consistent with General Plan policies within the Conservation Element which
encourage the protection of watercourses and riparian areas through the implementation of buffers
between these areas and proposed development the final map should include a 20 setback from the
open drainage channel traversing proposed parcel 3 and the pond adjacent to the southeastern
property corner of proposed parcel 3. No development or disturbance should be allowed to occur in
this area. These potential impacts are less than significant with mitigation.
Response IV c): This checklist question addresses potential impacts to federally protected waters of the
United States, including wetlands, which are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal,
etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means because no waters of the
United States (including wetlands) occur on the project site. However, as discussed in Response IV(b) the
final map should include a 20 setback from the open drainage channel traversing proposed parcel 3 and
the pond adjacent to the southeastern property corner of proposed parcel 3 consistent with General
Plan policies within the Conservation Element which encourage the protection of watercourses and
riparian areas through the implementation of buffers between these sensitive biological area and
development. These potential impacts are less than significant with mitigation.
Response IV d): The project will not directly result in substantial adverse impacts to the movement of
native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory
wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. The developed nature of the area
surrounding the project site, including SR 29 to the west, presents barriers for migration and reduces the
overall quality of habitat for native and migratory wildlife species in the area. There is no impact.
Response IV e): The project and related site improvements will not directly result in any conflicts with
local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. No native trees will be directly or indirectly
affected by the proposed project. There is no impact.
Response IV f): There are no applicable Habitat Conservation Plans, Natural Community Conservation
Plans, or any other local, regional, or state conservation plans affecting the subject property. There is no
impact.
The project will not impact the diversity and numbers of existing plants and animals on the subject
property.
Based on a review of the submitted materials and taking into account the scope of the proposal, the
project will not result in impacts to sensitive, endangered, threatened or rare species or their habitats;
locally designated species; wetland habitat; or wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The project will
not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species
identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or
regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service.
The developed urban nature of the area surrounding the project site, including Highway 29 to the
immediate west, means that the proposed improvements associated with the AutoZone project will not

a)
The project has the potential to significantly impact to the sites cultural resources unless mitigation
measures are incorporated and implemented.
AutoZone retained Area West Environmental, Inc. to conduct a cultural resources survey and prepare a
report to support this CEQA analysis (Area West Environmental 2013). The survey addresses the
proposed location of the AutoZone store and not the entire LaMonica property. However, its
reasonable to assume that the findings of the survey apply to the entire 8.532 acres. The survey
consisted of four components, including office and archival research, records search through the
Northwest Information Center at California State University, contact with Native American groups and
related agencies, and a pedestrian survey on December 11, 2013. During the field visit, three
presence/absence soil test pits were excavated.
According to the submitted report, no surface prehistoric cultural resources were observed on the
property. Although no surface cultural materials were located during the pedestrian survey, the report
states that there is a high probability of subsurface materials being located on the property, given the
proximity of several prehistoric sites, and that at other sites within a mile of the project site. In addition,
the report stated that the possibility of subsurface human remains cannot be eliminated (Area West
Environmental, 2013).

CEQA Initial Study
Response V a): No historical resources that meet the criteria of significance under CEQA are located on
or adjacent to the project site. There is no impact.
Response V b): The project requires construction of street improvements and underground utilities. The
development of Parcel 1 for the AutoZone building will also require land grading and utility line
excavation and other soil disturbance activities associated with the building construction. Parcel 1 may
also need to be over excavated prior to engineered fill placement for the building pad. It is possible that
ground-disturbing activities may inadvertently uncover buried, previously unknown cultural resources.
In the event that construction activities occur within previously undisturbed soils and buried cultural
resources are discovered, such resources could be damaged or destroyed, potentially resulting in
significant impacts on cultural resources. Potential future, unanticipated impacts on cultural resources
associated with the future construction activities are less than significant with mitigation. See
conclusion of report for the recommended mitigation measure.
Response V c): It is possible that project ground-disturbing activities may uncover buried
paleontological resources (i.e. fossils). In the event that construction activities occur within previously
undisturbed soils and buried paleontological resources are discovered, such resources could b e
damaged or destroyed, potentially resulting in significant impacts on paleontological resources. These
potential impacts are less than significant with mitigation. See conclusion of report for the
recommended mitigation measure.
Response V d): There are no known formal cemeteries in the project area, and neither the results of the
records search nor the pedestrian survey indicate that human remains are present on the project site.
However, there is a potential that ground-disturbing activities during construction may uncover
previously unknown buried human remains, which would be a potentially significant impact. Potential
impacts are less than significant with mitigation. See conclusion of report for the recommended
mitigation measure.
Future development proposals will be submitted to the California Historical Resources Information
System at Sonoma State University for review and comment. Any recommended mitigation measures
will be imposed as conditions of approval.

AutoZone Inc. retained GeoBoden Inc. to prepare a geotechnical investigation report for the proposed
retail building project site (GeoBoden Inc., 2013). The report does not address the entire TPM project,
but does contain the results of the field investigation, laboratory testing, and recommendations
pertaining to geotechnical design aspects of the proposed retail site development.
According to the Lake County Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey, three types of soil are present
within the project area including Henneke-Montara-Rock outcrop complex with slopes varying between
15% and 50%; Manzanita loam with slopes varying between 5% and 15%; and Still gravelly loam.
The Henneke-Montara-Rock outcrop soils are present in the northeast portion of the site on the north
side of Industrial Avenue. The permeability of the Henneke soil is moderately slow, surface runoff is
rapid, and the hazard of erosion is severe. The Montara soil is described as shallow and well-drained and
is also subject to rapid surface runoff and severe erosion according to the soils survey. Rock outcrop
consists of hard, fractured serpentinitic rock. The survey states that this soil classification is mainly used
as wildlife habitat and watershed.
16
Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
The Manzanita loam soils are present in the western and southwestern portion of the subject
properties. This soil is a very deep, well drained soil typically found on terraces. Permeability of this soil
is slow, surface runoff is medium and the hazard of erosion is moderate. The main development-related
limitation is the soils slow permeability.
The Still gravelly loam soil is described as a very deep and well-drained soil typically found on alluvial
planes. This soil is found in the central and eastern portions of the subject properties. Permeability of
the soil is moderately slow, surface runoff is very slow, and the hazard of erosion is slight. In terms of
development, its main limitations are moderately slow permeability and the hazard of flooding.
The approval of the TPM will require City street and underground utility improvements which are
expected to be constructed in conjunction with the proposed AutoZone store. These improvements
may lead to significant adverse environmental impacts associated with the exposure of people or
structures to strong seismic ground shaking, seismic related ground failure, landslides, and related
geologic impacts; expose people to potential impacts involving erosion; changes in topography or
unstable soil conditions resulting from excavation, grading or fill; land subsidence; expansive soils; or
unique geologic or physical features.
The City will require geotechnical/soil reports to be submitted in conjunction with the construction of
City street and utility facilities and for each future development proposal. Said reports will be used to
determine potential impacts to the project sites geology and soils and appropriate mitigations
measures will be imposed to reduce such impacts to a less than significant level.
All applicable recommendations set forth in the AutoZone geotechnical investigation will be
incorporated into the final grading plan and the applicable construction plans as construction notes or in
a similar manner.
Response VI a.i, ii, iii): The Fault-Rupture Hazard Zones map prepared by the California Geological
Survey for the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act identifies Alquist-Priolo zones in the northern
and southern sections of Lake County, but none in the City of Lakeport. This map is incorporated into
the Citys General Plan (Figure 17, Safety Element).
The Lakeport General Plan describes the seismic hazards in the vicinity of Lakeport and indicates that
the City is located in a highly active earthquake area and the potential exists for a significant seismic
event in the future.3 Active earthquake faults are defined as those for which there is evidence of
activity during the last 11,000 years, or Holocene time. Active faults in our area include the Mayacama,
about seven miles southeast of Lakeport, and the Konocti Bay, nine miles to the east. The Healdsburg
and San Andreas faults lay 24 and 35 miles to the southwest. Faults near Lakeport, categorized as
potentially active, include the Collayomi, nine miles southwest; the Barlett Springs, approximately 20
miles east; and the Big Valley, running along the west shore of Clear Lake. According to the geotechnical
report prepared for the project site, the Big Valley fault is the closest known active fault, located within
0.15-mile of the site with an anticipated maximum moment magnitude of 6.4. Immediately east of the
City, between the City limits and Clear Lake, there is a potentially active rupture zone. Potentially active
rupture zones are faults which have been active in the past 2,000 years. Little is known about this
shoreline fault rupture zone; however, it represents a potential significant hazard and must be taken
into consideration when development occurs in the vicinity. 4

CEQA Initial Study
There is no indication that seismic-related issues will preclude development of the proposed project. As
such, potential impacts related to the potential rupture of a known earthquake fault, strong seismic
ground shaking, or seismic-related ground failure are considered to be less than significant.
Response VI a. iv): No potential adverse effects related to landsides are anticipated as a result of the
project. The project site is level and is not subject to landslides. There is no impact.
Response VI b): According to the geotechnical report, the soils in the area of Parcel 1 consist primarily
of clayey silt, sand, silty sand and clayey sand underlain by bedrock. Observed subsurface soils consisted
of native soils to the maximum explored depth of 21.5 feet below ground surface. The geotechnical
report contains a detailed analysis of the sites soil conditions and addresses geotechnical limitations
including the potential for erosion, soil stability issues, and the presence of expansive soils. This report
provides recommendations related to site and foundation preparation, fill placement and compaction
requirements, utility trench backfill, and foundations (GeoBoden Inc., 2013). As stated above, all
applicable recommendations set forth in the geotechnical investigation will be incorporated into the
final grading plan and the applicable construction plans as construction notes or in a similar manner.
Based on the findings of this geotechnical analysis and the incorporation of the geotechnical
recommendations into the project design, the proposed project would not result in substantial soil
erosion or the loss of topsoil. The impact is considered to be less than significant.
Erosion control measures will be implemented during the construction and post-construction periods
due to storm water mitigation requirements. The project is subject to the Citys erosion control
regulations (Municipal Code Ch. 17.20), storm water management ordinance (Municipal Code Ch. 8.40),
the Lake County Clean Water Program Storm Water Management Plan, and the State Water Resources
Control Boards National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Issues related to site drainage and erosion control are further addressed in the Hydrology and Water
Quality section of this Initial Study.
Response VI c): The proposed project is not located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that
could become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral
spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. As stated in the geotechnical report prepared for the
project, for liquefaction to occur on a site, three key components are required: 1) liquefactionsusceptible soils; 2) groundwater within a depth of 50 feet or less; and 3) and strong earthquake
shaking. Soils susceptible to liquefaction are generally saturated loose to medium dense sands and nonplastic silt deposits below the water table. The geotechnical analysis stated that the site is underlain by
shallow bedrock.
A supplemental soils analysis prepared by registered civil engineer shall be provided to the City for
review and approveal prior to the issuance of a development permit. The soils report should specifically
address existing conditions and needed improvement to support the entire development of Industrial
Avenue associated with this project. Potential impacts are less than significant with mitigation.
Response VI d): The proposed project would not be located on expansive soil, as defined in California
Building Code, creating substantial risks to life or property. The geotechnical report states that the near
surface soils have a low to medium expansion potential. However, the report indicates that the
proposed new footings will not be affected by soil expansion if recommendations in the report are
incorporated into geotechnical design. The report states that reinforcement of footings should be
designed by the structural engineer based on the anticipated loading conditions and that the structure
footings that are supported in low to medium expansive soils should have No. 5 bars (two top and two
bottom). AutoZone has incorporated these recommendations into the project design. This impact is less
than significant.

a)
AutoZone Inc. retained GeoBoden Inc. to prepare a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact Analysis and
letter (GeoBoden Inc., 2014) associated with the AutoZone retail store and associated site
improvements. This letter does not cover the entire area associated with the TPM project. The letter
stated that long-term air quality effects could cause some localized air quality degradation related to
increased vehicular traffic. However, due to the small size of the proposed development and considering
that the store will consist of an auto parts store like the OReilly store on the south side of the site, the
project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which
the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors).
Response VII a): As discussed previously in the Air Quality section, implementation of the proposed
project would result in short-term emissions during construction, as well as emissions during operation
of the retail store. Potential impacts associated with project construction and operation of the proposed
project is discussed below.
Construction
The most common greenhouse gases (GHG) resulting from human activity are carbon dioxide (CO 2),
methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and
Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) also define GHGs to include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorinated carbons
(PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). HFCs and PFCs are usually emitted in industrial processes and,
therefore, are not applicable to the proposed project.
Construction activities would generate short-term emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O from the use heavyduty equipment and on-road vehicles (e.g., employee commuter cars and haul trucks).
19
Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
GHG emissions are typically evaluated in relation to meeting Assembly Bill 32 GHG reduction goals
and/or other GHG thresholds adopted by air districts within the state. Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), which
was signed in 2006, codified the states GHG emission target by requiring that the states GHG emission
be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. The Scoping Plan for AB 32 identifies specific measures to reduce
GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and requires the Air Resources Board and other state agencies to
develop and enforce regulations and other initiatives for reducing GHGs. The Scoping Plan also
recommends, but does not require, an emissions reduction goal for local governments of 15% below
current emissions to be achieved by 2020.
GHG impacts caused by emissions from project construction would be less than significant.
Operation
Operation of the retail project would generate long-term emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O, and SF6. These
emissions would be generated from electricity generation and transmission and transport water for
irrigation. Equipment and maintenance trips would also represent a minor source of CO2, CH4, and N2O.
Note that trees and other vegetation planted in the landscaping would create a long-term emissions sink
that would actively sequester atmospheric CO2.
LCAQMD has reviewed the proposed project and submitted comments related to greenhouse gas
emissions. The retail project will result in an increase in the amount of vehicle traffic in the area which
could cause some localized air quality degradation. Issues related to traffic will be addressed in the
Transportation/Traffic section.
Although solar power has not been incorporated into the proposed project, a variety of methods will be
used to promote an energy-efficient project. The facilities electrical, lighting and mechanical systems will
be run through an Energy Management System (Venstar) which complies with Title 24 energy
management requirements. Controls for this system will be monitored at a remote monitoring station at
AutoZone headquarters.
The GHG emissions that will be generated during operation of the proposed project will not significantly
impact the environment. This impact is therefore considered less than significant.
Response VII b): As discussed above, the project includes a number of energy efficiency measures that
will contribute to long-term GHG reductions. These measures are consistent with strategies identified in
the AB 32 Scoping Plan and statewide goals to conserve energy. Based on the review of project design
features, implementation of the project is not expected to conflict with the goals of AB 32.
In addition, the LCAQMD indicated that if their stated concerns are adequately addressed, the District
can support the approval of the project. There was no indication from the District that the proposed
project will conflict with any plan, policy or regulation related to the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions. This impact is considered less than significant.
No mitigation measures are proposed.

thoroughly reviewed and will be required to comply with the Citys Zoning and performance standards.
Future tenants of the new parcels and related physical improvements may be exposed to risk of loss,
injury or death involving wild land fires as a large undeveloped area exists to the west of Highway 29.
This risk will be reduced to a less than significant level provided that an adequate number of fire
hydrants are installed to serve each of the proposed parcels and improvements thereon. There are
currently no fire hydrants in the vicinity of the existing improvements as the nearest one is located at
the southwest corner of South Main Street and Industrial Avenue according to City records. All future
improvements will be required to be within 250 of a fire hydrant. The City Engineer has suggested the
provision of a fire hydrant per the Uniform Fire Code and the direction of the Fire District Chief. City
staff has recommended a condition of approval requiring the extension of a water main and the
installation of a fire hydrant at the west end of the Industrial Avenue. (See related mitigation measure
in Public Services section of this Initial Study.)
There is a private school located in the vicinity of the project west of Highway 29. The project will not
authorize the establishment of any businesses that will emit hazardous emissions, handle hazardous
materials, etc. The proposed project is not located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous
material sites compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5.
The project is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of an airport or public use
airport which would result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. The
project is not in the vicinity of a private airstrip which would result in a safety hazard for people working
or residing in the project area.
The project would not appear to impair implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
Emergency personnel response time is not a significant issue given the proximity of the Main Street fire
station to the subject property.
Response VIII a, b): Construction of the proposed project would involve the use of heavy equipment,
which would contain fuels and oils, and various other products that could be characterized as hazardous
materials. As part of the proposed project, the contractor will implement measures identified in a spill
prevention and control plan to ensure transport, storage, and handling of hazardous materials required
for construction is conducted in a manner consistent with relevant regulations and guidelines. In
addition, the Fire District will review construction plans when finalized. The Fire District is available to
respond to hazardous materials complaints or emergencies, if any, during construction.

For these reasons, the proposed project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, and would not
result in reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment. Implementation and compliance with the plans, standards, and special
provisions would reduce any potential impacts to a less than significant level.
Response VIII c): A private school is located approximately 0.5-mile west of the project site (west of SR
29). However, there is no indication that the future retail activities will emit hazardous emissions or
involve the release of hazardous materials that would affect the school. There is no impact.
Response VIII d): According to the Draft EIR prepared by Quad Knopf, Inc. in conjunction with the 2009
General Plan update, there are no sites in the City of Lakeport which are listed on the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, Liability Information System (CERCLIS); the National Priority
List (NPL); or the Department of Toxic Substances Control Cortese List.5 There is no impact.
Response VIII e), f): The proposed project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within
two miles of an airport or public use airport which would result in a safety hazard for people residing or
working in the project area. The project is not in the vicinity of a private airstrip which would result in a
safety hazard for people working or residing in the project area. There is no impact.
Response VIII g): The proposed project will not directly interfere with an adopted emergency response
plan or emergency response system. The Lakeport County Fire Protection District has reviewed the
project and noted the need for additional fire hydrants along Industrial Avenue and the termination of
the proposed cul-da-sac with a minimum radius of 50. With the incorporation of these mitigations (See
Public Services and Transportation/Traffic sections of this environmental review for proposed mitigation
measures) the project is not anticipated to create and significant hazards to the public or the
surrounding environment.
Impacts resulting from this project are less than significant..
Response VIII h): The proposed project does not have the potential to expose people or structures to a
significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires as there are no significant wild lands
adjacent to the subject property. The retail building will have a fire sprinkler system, notification alarms
and strobe lights. No impact is expected.
No mitigation measures are proposed.

The project will result in new property and site improvements including structures, driveways,
sidewalks, street paving and other impervious surfaces that will result in changes in absorption rates,
drainage patterns, and/or the rate and amount of surface water runoff generated from the subject
property. There will be a net increase in the amount of storm water runoff generated at this site as a
result of the build out of the proposed parcels. As future development occurs the net increase will
need to be quantified and adequate storm drainage facilities will be required to be provided.
The impact of the additional land development and new impervious surfaces will be partially mitigated
by the payment of the Citys standard storm drainage mitigation fee (currently $.10 per square foot of
new impervious surfaces). The storm drainage fee will apply to all new structures, driveways and other
impervious surfaces on all four of the proposed parcels.
In addition to the payment of the storm drainage fee, City policy requires the development of
downstream storm water conveyance system improvements or on-site detention/retention facilities to
mitigate the impact of the net increase in storm water flows resulting from a development project. The
storm water that will be generated from the subject property will be directed into Clear Lake via a pair
of 4 box culverts that extend to the east under South Main Street and outflow into the Pier 1900
lagoon. There is also an open drainage ditch on the north side of the site that flows east and crosses
South Main Street to the northeast.
Existing storm drainage facilities shown on the TPM include three 48 concrete masonry pipes near the
northeast corner of APN 05-045-29. To the west of these pipes the map identifies a proposed 20 wide
storm drainage easement which follows the boundary of existing storm water drainage course that
originates west of Highway 29 and extends across the southern portion of proposed Parcel 3. The TPM
also identifies an existing 20 wide storm drainage easement along the south side of APN 05-045-30.
This existing easement extends through proposed Parcels 1, 2 and 3. Three additional existing 48
concrete masonry pipes are shown near the southeast corner of proposed Parcel 1. These pipes tie into
the aforementioned box culverts which extend to Clear Lake to the east.
The majority of the storm water drainage generated from the improvements on the proposed parcels
will be directed toward the existing and proposed drainage easements on the south side of the project
site. Future improvements on proposed Parcel 4 may be directed toward Industrial Avenue.
The submitted map indicates that portions of the site are located outside the flood zone boundary (Zone
X) and inside the flood zone boundary (Zone AO 1 depth). A review of the Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) indicates that proposed Parcels 1 and 2 are entirely within Flood Zones and that portions of
Parcels 3 and 4 are within the flood zone. The majority of the existing structure on Proposed Parcel 3 is
in the flood zone according to the FIRM. Future construction activities in the flood zone areas will be
required to comply with the Citys Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance.
RFE Engineering, Inc. was retained to prepare a preliminary drainage study for the proposed project (RFE
Engineering, Inc., 2014). The study report was prepared by a civil engineer and provides a description of
25
Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
existing drainage conditions, and quantifies the net increase in impervious surfaces and storm water
associated with the proposed one acre AutoZone store project. The study does not address the entire
TPM project.
The following baseline setting information was extracted from the drainage study report and used to
analyze potential hydrology and water quality impacts associated with the proposed project. It is
important to note that the following information mixes a discussion of the existing conditions of the
entire 8.5 acres and the specific drainage impacts associated with only the 1 approximate one acre
AutoZone store site.
According to the ALTA survey of the site, the site is fairly flat with average slopes around 1.5%. The
elevation of the project site ranges from about 1336 to 1340 feet above sea level. The majority of the
site runoff flows northeast as sheet flow over the project site and spills into the gutter at Industrial
Avenue and South Main Street where it flows south to an inlet at the southeast corner of the property
on South Main Street. An underground storm drain system on the south side of the project site provides
storm water conveyance from west of SR 29 through the site to Clear Lake about 1,000 feet to the east
of the site. Drainage along the Industrial Avenue frontage is surface drained towards South Main Street
where the surface flow is picked up in a drain inlet at the intersection of the twin 48-inch storm drain
pipes under South Main Street.
The project site is located in a Zone AO (area to be determined to be in an area of one foot depth of
flooding with a 0.2% chance of flood hazard) as determined in FEMA Flood Map No 06033C0493D dated
September 30, 2005.
According to the geotechnical study prepared for the proposed project (GeoBoden Inc., 2013),
groundwater was encountered within the exploratory borings at 10 feet (below ground surface).
Fluctuations of the groundwater table, localized zones of perched water, and rise in soil moisture
content should be anticipated during the rainy season. Irrigation of landscaped areas can also lead to an
increase in soil moisture content and fluctuations of intermittent shallow perched groundwater levels.
The report concluded that groundwater may not be considered in design or construction.
The RFE Engineering Preliminary Drainage Study (February 2014) used the Rational Method as
outlined in the Lake County Hydrology Design Standards adopted June 22, 1999, to determine peak
storm water flows. The AutoZone site development project drainage study summarizes storm water
runoff rates for the peak 10-year, and 100-year pre-development and post-development on-site storms.
Because of the greatly increased impervious area, the runoff expected in the post-construction
condition is greater than that of the pre-construction condition.
Under the proposed project, the storm water runoff will enter the on-site storm conveyance system and
will be transported to the on-site underground detention system (shown in Sheet C2). The off-site
drainage will be positively affected by the proposed project since the project flows will be detained to
pre-developed conditions before being released off-site.
The Preliminary Drainage Study for the AutoZone site contains the following conclusions:
The proposed project on-site storm drain system was designed to convey storm water into an
on-site underground storm drain detention basin with a holding volume of 500 cubic feet then
released to the public storm drain system off-site.
The off-site flows will be contained in roadside storm water conveyance along Industrial Avenue.
This drainage will eventually tie into the existing 48-inch storm drain piping in South Main
Street.

Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
Overland release of on-site drainage will provide a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard from the
highest water surface to the finished floor elevation in the event of storm drain blockage.
Response IX a), c), d), e), f): Construction of the proposed project and associated improvements will
result in the changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and/or the rate and amount of surface
water runoff generated from the property. Without on-site improvements, there would be a net
increase in the amount of storm water runoff generated at this site.
The preliminary grading and drainage plan (Sheet C2) identifies an on-site underground storm water
detention basin and associated storm drains in the eastern parking lot area. The location and size of the
storm water detention basin and associate storm drains and drop inlet sizes and locations are based on
the results of the drainage study (summarized above). This detention basin has been appropriately sized
to meter out the runoff from the site so that there is no net increase. Storm water generated from the
project will be conveyed into the detention basin and will ultimately exit the site via a storm drain pipe.
The off-site flows will be contained in roadside storm water conveyance along Industrial Avenue. This
drainage will eventually tie into the existing 48-inch storm drain pipe in South Main Street.
As part of the proposed project, AutoZone Inc. will also comply with all applicable local and state
regulations regarding storm water management, including the Municipal Code Chapter 8.40 (Storm
Water Management), the Lake County Clean Water Program Storm Water Management Plan and the
requirements of the California Water Resources Control Board (NPDES Phase II/Construction Activities
Storm Water General Permit requirements) prior to the issuance of development permits. Copies of the
Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board Notice of Intent (NOI), Storm Water Management
Plan (SWMP), and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be provided to the City prior to
any construction activities.
In addition, AutoZone Inc. will pay the standard City storm water mitigation fee based on the amount of
new impervious surface area prior to the issuance of a development permit.
A supplemental hydrology analysis and engineered stormwater drainage plan will be required to be
submitted prior to the issuance of any development or improvement permits. The hydrology analysis
should quantify the net increase in stormwater runoff related to the new impervious surfaces resulting
from the project. The drainage plan will be required to address the findings of the hydrology analysis
and include the provision of a system capable of collecting and detaining the stormwater generated
from the proposed project so that there is no net increase in the flow rate of off-site runoff. Potential
impacts are considered less then significant with mitigation.
Response IX b): The proposed project will not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge. The Citys water supply is not dependent on any underground
aquifers in the immediate vicinity and as such the proposed project is not expected to interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge. There is no indication that the project will substantially alter
the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a
stream or river, or substantially increase runoff in a manner that will result on on-site of off-site
flooding. No impact is anticipated regarding these issues.
Response IX g): The proposed retail project does not involve any residential or housing elements.
Therefore, the proposed project would not place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area. There is
no impact.
Response IX h- i): As described above, the project site occurs within the flood zone boundary. The
project will need to comply with the Citys floodplain management regulations (LMC Ch. 15.16) which
requires special construction techniques to minimize impacts. Potential impacts are less than
significant with mitigation.

The proposed parcels are in conformance with the applicable Zoning guidelines related to lot size,
dimensions and length to width ratio.
The building encroachment issue affecting APNs 05-045-28 and -30 will be resolved through the
recordation of a lot line adjustment prior to the recordation of the Parcel Map.
Response X a): Recordation of a 4 lot parcel map and the construction of the proposed retail store will
not physically divide an established community. The subject property (proposed Parcel 1) is currently
vacant and is adjacent to commercial development. No impact has been identified.
Response X b): AutoZone is requesting the parcel be rezoned from I Industrial to C-2 Major Retail. The
zoning designations surrounding the project site include C-3 Service Commercial to the north, I Industrial
to the west, and C-2 Major Retail to the south and east. The proposed project is consistent with the
general area and the applicable Zoning Ordinance standards.

f) For a project within the vicinity of a
private airstrip, would the project
expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
Response XII a): The project will result in a short-term increase in construction-related noise. During the
operation of future retail activities, there will be a minimal increase in the areas existing ambient noise
levels. The existing noise levels in the area around the site are moderate given its proximity to other
commercial uses in the area and vehicle traffic along South Main Street.
The Noise Element of the General Plan addresses future noise levels in the City and indicates that the
Main Street area is projected to experience a significant increase in noise over 60 dBA.6 The General
Plan states that nearby residences will be exposed to excessive noise levels, defined as those over 60
dBA.
The level of noise increase associated with construction of the proposed project could result in the
temporary generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the Lakeport General Plan or
the applicable standards of other agencies. To reduce this potential impact to a less than significant
level, the project proponents will be required to implement a mitigation measure which addresses
compliance with the noise guidelines and other relevant noise-related policies. Therefore, potential
impacts are considered less than significant with mitigation incorporation. See conclusion of this
report for the related mitigation measures.
Response XII b), c): Construction of the proposed project and the subsequent retail activities do not
have the potential to expose persons to, or cause generation of, excessive ground-borne vibration or

ground-borne noise levels. Similarly, there is no indication that the development of the project and its
subsequent use will result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project
vicinity. As previously noted the existing ambient noise levels are moderate. There is no impact
associated with these potential issues.
Response XII d): Temporary construction activities associated with the development of the proposed
project have the potential to create a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels
in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. A mitigation measure has been
recommended which requires all construction activities to be subject to the noise guidelines set forth in
Chapter 17.28 of the Lakeport Municipal Code, including a prohibition of construction activities on
Sundays. The noise regulations prohibit work starting before 7:00 a.m. or extending later than 10:00
p.m. This potential impact is considered less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
Response XII e), f): The subject property is not located within an airport land use plan or in the vicinity
of a private airstrip which would generate substantial noise impacts. There is no impact.

service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the
public services:
i)
Fire protection?
ii) Police protection?
iii) Schools?
iv) Parks?
v) Other public facilities?
Based on a review of the proposal and comments received from other public agencies and departments,
approval of the proposed TPM and Architectural and Design Review will not detrimentally affect existing
government services including fire protection, police protection, public facility maintenance, and other
governmental services. Furthermore, the project will not result in substantial adverse physical impacts
associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios,
response times or other performance objectives related to fire protection, police protection, schools,
parks or other public facilities.
Fire protection: The Lakeport County Fire Protection District reviewed the proposal and provided no
objections or detailed comments.
There are currently no fire hydrants in the vicinity of the existing site improvements as the nearest one
is located at the southwest corner of South Main Street and Industrial Avenue. All future improvements
will be required to be within 250 of a fire hydrant. The City Engineer has recommended the installation
of a fire hydrant per the Uniform Fire Code and the direction of the Fire District Chief. City staff has
developed a mitigation measure requiring the extension of a water main and the installation of a fire
hydrant at the west end of the Industrial Avenue.
The Fire District imposes a fire mitigation fee which will be collected in conjunction with the issuance of
a building permit. The fee as of April 2015 is $1.00 per square foot for all new covered areas.

CEQA Initial Study
Police protection: The City of Lakeport Chief of Police reviewed the proposal and indicated that there
are no concerns related to police protection.
Schools: Notice of the proposed project was not forwarded to the Lakeport Unified School District due
to the limited scope of the project. The Lakeport Unified School District has adopted a school impact fee
resolution in accordance with State law. This resolution requires the developer of commercial
structures to pay a fee of $0.47 per square foot of new commercial building area to District to mitigate
the impacts to the schools.
The future development or redevelopment of the proposed parcels will likely result in the need for
increased maintenance of other public facilities such as water and sewer lines, storm drainage facilities,
street surface and street lights. Property tax revenues will be generated from the project as a result of
the new improvements and will augment the increased maintenance expenses.
Parks & other public facilities: Given its scope, the proposed project and the related retail uses will not
substantially affect the Citys park system or other public facilities.
Potential impacts to public services, specifically fire protection and schools are considered to be less
than significant with mitigation incorporation. No impact is anticipated regarding police protection,
parks, and other public facilities.

The City of Lakeport maintains a small system of parks, recreation facilities and open space for its
citizens. Within the City there are approximately 63.5 acres of parkland not including recreational
facilities at the public schools. Lakeports park and recreational facilities include: parks, boat launch
facilities, public swimming pool, and partially-developed parks. In addition to City parks, recreational
facilities in the Lakeport area are provided at the Highland Springs Reservoir, Lake County Fairgrounds,
Lakeside County Park and Clear Lake State Park. Community use of public school playing fields provides
additional recreational facilities.

Response XIV a), b): The proposed project will not result in a substantial increase in population or
employment levels which could increase the use of existing neighborhood/regional parks such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facilities would occur or be accelerated.
The proposed retail project does not include recreational facilities and will not require the construction
or expansion of recreational facilities. Therefore, there the project would not have an adverse physical
effect on the environment related to recreational facilities. There is no impact.
Section 16.16.040 L.1.of the City Subdivision Ordinance exempts subdivisions containing four or fewer
parcels which are not used for residential purposes from the park dedication fee. A condition of
approval can be imposed which requires an in-lieu fee to be paid if a residential structure is built.
However, residential uses are not allowed in the Industrial zoning district and Parcels 2, 3 and 4 will
retain the Industrial zoning designation.

According to the Transportation Element of the Lakeport General Plan, Industrial Avenue is designated
as a local street. The existing roadway has not been dedicated to the public and it is not maintained by
the City. The applicant/property owner has proposed to dedicate the existing roadway plus additional
area for a cul-de-sac to the public. The map identifies a 50 wide right-of-way plus a cul-de-sac with a
50 radius at the west end. This design is consistent with the standard for commercial, industrial or
collector streets in flat areas which is set forth in Section 16.17.100 B.3. of the Lakeport Municipal Code.
Right of way improvements will be required to be constructed to City of Lakeport standards.
Improvement plans in accordance with Section 16.18.070 of the Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance shall be
prepared and submitted for City review and approval. A subdivision improvement agreement in
accordance with Section 16.18.060 of the Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance shall be executed prior to
recordation of the parcel map.
AutoZone retained KD Anderson & Associates, Inc. to prepare a traffic impact analysis report (KD
Anderson & Associates, Inc., 2013) for the proposed AutoZone site project only. The report does not
address the entire TPM project.
The traffic study addresses both current and future traffic conditions at key intersections in the vicinity
of the site (South Main Street/Lakeport Boulevard and South Main Street/Industrial Avenue
intersection). To assess traffic impacts, the report analyzed characteristics of the proposed retail project,
including estimated trip generation and the directional distribution/assignment of project generated
traffic. The following baseline setting information was extracted from the traffic report and used to
analyze potential transportation/traffic impacts associated with the proposed project.
Circulation System - Roads
Regionally, the project site is served by major Lakeport streets and state highways. In the area of the
proposed project, access to SR 29 occurs at a grade separated interchange with Lakeport Boulevard.
Lakeport Boulevard is located approximately 0.5 mile to the north of the site. To the south, South Main
Street provides access to SR 29 via a signalized intersection approximately 0.75 mile to the south of the
project site.
South Main Street
South Main Street traverses the City along the west side of Clear Lake. The Lakeport General Plan
classifies Main Street as an Arterial Street. The posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour (mph). In the
vicinity of the project site, South Main Street is a two-lane facility with a continuous two-way center

CEQA Initial Study
turn lane. Sidewalk facilities and a designated bike lane are provided on the west side of the street, as is
on-street parking. There is currently no northbound bike lane on the east side of the street. Sidewalk
facilities currently terminate on the east side of the street approximately 200 feet to the north of
Industrial Avenue and then commence approximately 800 feet to the south at Peckham Court.
Traffic volume information collected for the Lakeport General Plan Update indicated that in 2004 South
Main Street carried 9,900 vehicles per day in the area near Royale Avenue to the north of the project
site. A 2011 speed study undertaken by the Area Planning Council (APC) indicates that approximately
10,400 vehicles per day use South Main Street in the vicinity of Industrial Avenue.
Lakeport Boulevard
Lakeport Boulevard is a major route linking Lakeport and SR 29 while concurrently providing local access
to adjoining retail commercial uses. The Lakeport General Plan classifies Lakeport Boulevard as an
Arterial Street. The roadway is striped with a continuous two-way left turn lane in the commercial
area west of Main Street and on-street parking is prohibited to accommodate this feature. The posted
speed limit is 30 mph. Traffic volume information collected for the Lakeport General Plan Update
indicated that in 2004 Lakeport Boulevard carried 11,925 vehicles per day in the area between SR 29
and Bevins Street. The 2011 APC speed study states approximately 8,800 vehicles use Lakeport
Boulevard in the vicinity of South Forbes Street each day.
Industrial Avenue
Industrial Avenue is a local 2-lane private street providing access to several adjacent businesses and
terminates approximately 1,000 feet to the west of South Main Street. The street has a dilapidated
asphalt surface at the present time.
Intersections
The quality of traffic flow in urban areas is often governed by the operation of key intersections. The
following two intersections were identified for evaluation in the traffic study through consultation with
City staff.
Lakeport Blvd / South Main Street intersection
The Lakeport Boulevard/South Main Street intersection is a T intersection controlled by stop signs at
the approaches. Separate left and right turn lanes exist at the Lakeport Boulevard approach. Separate
left and right turn lanes are provided at the northbound and southbound South Main Street approaches,
respectively. K Street intersects South Main Street immediately north of the intersection and is limited
to right turns on South Main Street. Crosswalks are provided across all three legs of the intersection.
Industrial Avenue /S. Main Street Intersection
The Industrial Avenue/South Main Street intersection is controlled by a stop sign on Industrial Avenue.
Northbound left turn channelization is provided on South Main Street via the existing continuous center
turn lane. There are no marked crosswalks at the intersection.
Existing Traffic Volumes / Levels of Service
KD Anderson & Associates conducted new traffic counts in November 2013 to support the traffic study.
These counts were conducted on days when local schools were in session. Intersection turning
movement counts were made at study intersections during the period from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The highest hourly traffic volume period within each two hour window was
identified as the peak hour and used for this analysis.
36
Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
The report notes that the volume of traffic in and around the Lakeport area can vary throughout the
year, with summer months traffic influenced by visitors to Clear Lake. This increase in recreational
oriented traffic may also be offset somewhat by the lack of school oriented traffic in the summer
months. It is estimated that the traffic count data collected for this analysis is likely indicative of average
conditions for the year, but that these counts are likely lower than peak summer month volume levels.
Figure 3 in the report illustrates the intersection turning movement count data recorded for each count
period. This figure also notes the geometric layout of each intersection and the location of traffic
controls. This data has been used to determine the operating Level of Service (LOS) at each intersection.
Intersection Level of Service
The report indicates that satisfactory LOS A to B operations are currently experienced at the study
intersections. Although the Lakeport Boulevard/South Main Street intersection experiences some queue
formations at each approach to the intersection during peak periods of the afternoon peak hour, the
intersection operates satisfactorily overall. Traffic volumes are relatively minor at the Industrial Avenue
approach to South Main Street and utilization of the existing center turn lane results in relatively short
delays for left turn traffic onto South Main Street.
Traffic Signals
The extent to which improvements are already needed at either intersection was considered in the
traffic report. The peak hour volume of traffic occurring at each intersection was compared to the CA
MUTCD requirements for Warrant 3 (Peak Hour Traffic). At the time of the 2013 study, neither
intersection carried volumes that reach the level satisfying Warrant 3, which suggests that while a signal
might help alleviate brief periods of congestion, the overall volume of traffic at each location does not
justify a traffic signal at this time.
Response XVI a): Although the proposed AutoZone project will result in an increase in traffic in the
vicinity of the project site, the project will not conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy
establishing measures of effectiveness for performance of the circulation system, taking into account all
modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of
the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways,
pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit.
According to the traffic report, the AutoZone project is expected to generate a total of 485 daily trips,
with roughly 10% or 47 trips during the p.m. peak hour. A total of 17 trips are projected during the a.m.
peak hour after discounting for pass-by trips already occurring on South Main Street adjacent to the site,
the project is projected to generate 12 and 32 new trips in the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours,
respectively.
Regarding the existing plus project traffic conditions, the traffic report concluded that development of
the AutoZone project alone does not result in a significant impact to traffic based on the criteria
adopted by the City. Satisfactory operations are currently experienced at the study intersections and no
changes to existing LOS are projected with development of the AutoZone site (Parcel 1).
The transportation-related impacts identified in this section do not rise to a level in which off-site
improvements will be required; however, on-site improvements are necessary for consistency with the
Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance and are considered to be less than significant with mitigation
incorporation. See the conclusion of this report for required mitigation measures.
Response XVI b): Lake County has not established a congestion management agency according to the
Interim City Engineer. As such, this question is not applicable to this project. There is no impact.
37
Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
The traffic study prepared for the proposed AutoZone project addressed the long-term cumulative
traffic impacts associated with the project. According to the AutoZone study, the Lakeport Boulevard /
South Main Street intersection is projected to operate with very long delays in the future during the
p.m. peak hour with the existing all-way stop sign control. The average delay for all vehicles would
exceed the Citys LOS C minimum standard during this time period, with or without development of the
proposed project. As noted in the General Plan DEIR, it will eventually be necessary to signalize this
intersection. Signalization is projected to yield LOS C p.m. peak hour operations.
As identified relative to existing conditions, AutoZone project impacts to study intersections under longterm conditions are similarly projected to be minor. AutoZone project traffic will incrementally
contribute to unsatisfactory p.m. peak hour operations at the Lakeport Boulevard/South Main Street
intersection. Review of forecast p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at this intersection indicates that the
trips associated with the auto parts sales store represent 1.7% of the total new trips expected through
the intersection under the development assumptions presented in the Lakeport General Plan DEIR.
Response XVI c): There are no components of the AutoZone project that will result in a change in air
traffic patterns including either the volume or the location of air traffic in the vicinity of the project.
There would be No impact.
Response XVI d): Based on the findings of the traffic report prepared for the AutoZone project, there is
no indication that the proposed project will substantially increase transportation-related hazards due to
a proposed design feature or incompatible uses. This impact is less than significant.
Response XVI e): Adequate emergency access will be provided into the site of the retail business based
on the responses from the Fire District and the Police Department. There is no impact.
Response XVI f): As described in the traffic report, development of the proposed AutoZone may
incrementally contribute to the demand for facilities to serve pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders in
the local area. However, the traffic report stated that this demand is expected to be relatively minor. A
brief discussion of the pedestrian, bicycle, and transit impacts is provided below.
Pedestrian Impacts. It is possible that some of the AutoZones employees or customers may
elect to walk to and from the site. As stated previously, sidewalk facilities are provided on the
west side of South Main Street to the north and south of the site. The proposed AutoZone
project includes construction of sidewalks on Industrial Avenue adjacent to the site. These
improvements represent a reasonable project contribution to the Citys inventory of pedestrian
facilities that is commensurate with the projects relative impact.
Bicycle Impacts. While the use of bicycle travel may be an option for employees or customers to
the site, such traffic will likely be low and the number of cyclists associated with this project is
not likely to create an appreciable safety impacts on the streets that provide access to the
project. The Lakeport General Plan Circulation Element - Bicycle Plan does require a bike lane to
be stripped on South Main Street.
Transit Impacts. Some project employees or customers are likely to take advantage of the
regular bus transit service that already passes the site. The existing bus stop located
approximately 300 feet to the south of the site will provide access to the available transit
services.
The proposed project will not conflict with adopted policies/plans/programs related to public transit,
bicycle or pedestrian facilities or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities. The
potential impacts are less than significant.

Lakeport AutoZone
PM 14-01/AR 14-11/ZC 14-01
CEQA Initial Study
The proposal to subdivide the subject property and create three additional parcels (number of net new
parcels) will not directly cause a substantial increase in traffic that would detrimentally affect the
existing traffic volumes and/or the capacity of the street system in the vicinity of the project.
Each of the proposed parcels will have frontage along the newly dedicated Industrial Avenue and
therefore adequate emergency access will be provided
The future development and redevelopment of the subject properties will likely result in increased in
vehicular traffic volume and turning movements which will affect Industrial Avenue and South Main
Street and potentially impact Lakeport Boulevard and Highway 29. Future traffic-related impacts will
need to be thoroughly analyzed in conjunction with new development proposals.
Section 16.18.100 B. of the Lakeport Municipal Code addresses the need to complete right of way
improvements and indicates that the completion of right-of-way or street improvements for
subdivisions of four (4) or less parcels shall not be required until a permit or other grant of approval for
the development of any parcel within the subdivision is applied for. Given that development is already
in place upon proposed parcels 2 and 3 full length right-of-way improvements including curb, gutter,
sidewalk and street construction (except as otherwise noted in proposed mitigation measures for this
project) will be required to be constructed prior to the recordation of the final map. Additional
improvements may be required as part of future development applications.
The right-of-way improvements recommended by the Interim City Engineer will be required to be
installed consistent with Municipal Code Section 16.18.100 B.

Response XVII a), b), e): Construction of the project and its subsequent use for retail purposes will not
exceed the wastewater treatment requirements of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control
Board. Sewer generated from the project will be treated by the CLMSD plant in south Lakeport. The
Citys Public Works Director and City Engineer have recommended the incorporation of two mitigation
measures directly related to sanitary sewer requirements for this project: 1) The legal description for
Parcels 3 and 4 will be required to include a 20 wide Public Utility Easement for the sewer main and
drainage that extends through the parcels. The sewer main will be required to be located in the center
of the easement.; and 2) an 8 sanitary sewer line together with lateral serving existing structures
located on proposed parcels 2 and 3 shall be required.
Significant impacts to the Citys water system are not expected given the estimated water usage
amounts. The Citys Public Works Director and City Engineer are recommending the installation of a 12
water main in accordance with City and Lakeport Fire Protection District standards.have recommended
the incorporation of two mitigation measures directly related to sanitary sewer requirements for this
project:
Adequate capacity exists at this time and the project will not require or result in the construction of new
water or wastewater treatment facilities. The project will comply with all requirements related to the
projects water and sewer system, including the payment of the standard CLMSD sewer expansion fees
and City of Lakeport Water Expansion fees. AutoZone will pay these fees prior to the issuance of
development permits.
Potential impacts related to sewer capacity are considered to be less than significant with the
incorporation of mitigation measures.

Response XVII c): Construction of the proposed storm drainage facilities has the potential to cause
significant environmental effects as some of the activities may be located in environmentally-sensitive
habitat areas.
Potential impacts to the storm water system are considered less than significant with mitigation.
Please see the Hydrology and Water Quality section of this report for more discussion regarding storm
water issues.
Response XVII d): According to the Citys Public Works Director there are sufficient water supplies
available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources. AutoZone Inc. will pay the
required water expansion fee (based on water meter size) prior to the issuance of development permits.
The applicant will be required to install a 12 City water main in the Industrial Avenue right-of-way in
accordance with the requirements of the City of Lakeport and the Lakeport County Fire Protection
District.
Potential impacts related to the Citys water supply and distribution facilities have been determined to
be less than significant with mitigation.
Response XVII f), g): The proposed project will result in an increase in the generation of solid waste
during retail operations. In addition, waste may be generated if unsuitable materials are discovered
during construction and removed from the site. Excess graded materials are expected to be hauled offsite.
The City contracts with Lakeport Disposal for its solid waste disposal and all businesses are subject to
mandatory garbage service and recycling requirements. Most solid waste from Lakeport is transferred to
the East Lake landfill, located on a 32 acre parcel just outside the City of Clearlake. The landfill has a
total capacity of 6 million cubic yards and is expected to reach total capacity between 2020 and 2025.7
Therefore, the project will be served by a landfill with sufficient capacity and is expected to comply with
all applicable solid waste regulations. Impacts related to the storage, collection and disposal of solid
waste are less than significant.

c)
Does the project have environmental

effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either
directly or indirectly?
Response XVIII a) - c): Based on the findings set forth in the Initial Study, the proposed retail project has
the potential to adversely impact the environment unless mitigation measures are incorporated into the
project approval. The potentially significant effects identified herein are related to aesthetics, air
quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology/soils, noise, public services,
transportation/traffic, and utilities and service systems.
The potential environmental impacts identified in the Initial Study are less than significant with
mitigation incorporation.
CONCLUSION AND MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE: The application for a TPM to create four
lots out of approximately 8 acres of land at 301 and 401 Industrial Avenue (APN 05-045-29 and APN 05045-30) also has the potential to impact the environment unless mitigation measures are incorporated
into the project approval. The potentially significant effects identified in the Initial Study include air
quality, biological resources, cultural resources, hydrology/water quality, geology/soils, public services,
transportation/traffic, and utilities and service systems.
Staff has developed mitigation measures which have been agreed to by the applicant, and when
implemented will mitigate the identified environmental impacts to a less than significant level.
The proposed subdivision TPM generally conforms to the Citys Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances.
There are, however, some issues which must be resolved prior to recordation of the Parcel Map as
described herein.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project
as provided for in the California Environmental Quality Act. Staff further recommends that the Planning
42

City Council
STAFF REPORT
RE: Downtown Improvement Project Phase II Design Contract
Amendment No. 1
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
01/05/2016
Paul Curren, Interim City Engineer

PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to review the proposed addition of supplemental design services for the
Downtown Improvement Project Phase II contract with Crawford and Associates, Inc. as recommended by City
staff. The Council is also being requested to authorize the City Manager to sign Contract Amendment No. 1
which is to include the supplemental design services that are approved by your Council.
The Downtown Lakeport Improvement Project has gone through several iterations and Phase II of that project is
currently under design by Crawford and Associates, Inc. It is anticipated that City staff will act as the
construction manager and provide inspection services in house with some outside testing expertise required.
The City has assigned Paul Curren, P.E., interim City Engineer, to be the project manager for the City relative to
both the design and construction of this project. Mr. Curren has extensive background in designing and
constructing such projects having been the designer of the improvements in downtowns of Kelseyville and
Upper Lake.
The original design proposal was based on a much longer design period which would begin early in the spring of
2015 to achieve spring 2016 construction and also anticipated an over summer delay for the completion of
work. The start of the project was delayed due to no fault of the design team. When design was initiated this
summer, much of the anticipated design time was already past. However, initiation of the spring 2016
construction was still perceived as a desirable goal.
At the onset of design, and confirmed by staff meetings with business owners, City staff and design team have
been working to achieve construction in the spring of 2016 rather than the fall of 2016. To meet this goal,
interaction between City staff and the design team has been at least weekly, often more. It has also require
production of many more interim design documents to expedite City reviews of tentative design. This process
literally cuts weeks out of review time but intensifies communications.
The design is now about 65 percent as of the first week in December and progressing rapidly. In reviewing the
scope of design anticipated under the contract as negotiated with previous City staff, several items were not
sufficiently addressed in the past. These items are related to conformance with American with Disability Act
(ADA) requirements: details regarding the scope of utility work: lighting analysis at intersections; irrigation
considerations and coordination: and design services during construction. It also became apparent that City staff
Page 1
could provide several design elements directly rather than doubling up effort between the design team and City
staff. Preparation of contract specifications is a prime example. Each of these different approaches will be
discussed in detail.
The City has reviewed the consultant contract costs to date and scope necessary for completion of the project.
This report provides details regarding the changes in scope as the work has progressed and the costs to
complete the design.
It is important to note that skipping important steps during design to save money often results in expenditure
of large portions of the project construction contingency to correct or address issues during construction.
Money is far better spent during design to prevent foreseeable problems rather than wait until they develop
during construction.
City Provided Design Tasks
City staff will provide several items which they are most familiar or have prior information. These include
providing the pavement design, assisting in cost estimating, reduction in City Council meeting attendance, and
preparation of the final contract specifications and estimates, handling project bidding and answering bid
inquiries.
The budget cost savings due to shifting of these activities to the City is a credit of $20,219.
ADA Access to Businesses
The original scope of work included matching the entrances to businesses at the back of the sidewalk at the
building fronts. This approach would leave many businesses with non-compliant access to their inset front
doors due to excessive slopes between the current back of sidewalk and the doorways. This would leave
individual building owners with the responsibility and cost of upgrading to current ADA standards in the future.
With the new City sidewalk at the current elevation, the building owner would have to make the entire
correction within the building footprint. This method is costly both from an initial construction cost but also
from lost building space consumed solely by ADA access.
The alternative approach taken by the design team, at the direction of City staff is to, as much as possible,
provide full ADA compliant access to all of the building entrances. This was a time consuming, reiterative
process by the design team to balance sidewalk slopes and gutter drainage slopes. Several techniques were
used to achieve this objective including using greater than 2 percent slopes outside of the designated ADA
pathway within the sidewalk area, varying curb face between and 4 and 7 inches, and in three locations,
providing a differential sidewalk segment to elevated doorways. The result is that all of the businesses with the
exception of one will have compliant ADA entrances. This process has resulted in a design that provides current
code compliant ADA access to all of the down town businesses involved in the project. This approach adds
enormous value to the downtown overall, but also to each building owner and commercial client.
It is also important to note that this emphasis on provide ADA access significantly reduces the liability of both
business owners and the City for non-compliance suits by citizens. The cost of this additional effort is $48,432.
Support Services, Support Documents and Coordination
As detailed above, the design team has and is meeting with City staff on a weekly or more often basis to discuss
progress, obtain progress review documents and then provide feedback relative to design details. Such
apparently simple things as location of tree wells has taken several iterations to establish a consensus of design
team and City staff. Though most of these meeting are held at the design teams office, it still encompasses
several primary staff hours each week. Other details include investigation the exact location of existing utility
services, deciding on replacement locations and types, and the effect of the locations on other project
Page 2
amenities. Much of this additional work is ongoing and is necessary to refine the design and reduce
construction contingencies. The consultant is requesting $14,868 for the anticipated cost to complete the
enhanced work effort of design, particularly regarding utilities. Staff recognizes that the proposed design
changes will increase the need for additional support services beyond what was originally budgeted. However,
staff is recommending that an increase of $7,434 (50% of the request) will be adequate to address the needs for
additional support services, documentation and coordination.
Street Lighting Upgrades
Intersection Lighting: In reviewing the project lighting scope of work, the electrical design consultant noted that
the intersection lighting does not comply with current code requirements. For the intersection lighting analysis,
and design, the additional fee will be $1,980.
LED Lighting Upgrades: There is significant potential for annual electrical cost savings by retrofitting the existing
lights with LED type bulbs. The cost to investigate and design the LED upgrades $2,270
Modify Lighting/Light Pole Receptacles north of 3th Street: The street lights/light pole receptacles north of 3th
street operate differently than those south of 4th Street. South of 3th street, the receptacles are controlled by
the street light photo cell controllers. The receptacles are turned on and off with the street lights.
The receptacles north of 4th street are on 24 hours a day and cannot be turned off by City staff. If any lighting
utilizes this power source, the lighting is on 24 hours a day until removed.
The City staff would like the street light receptacles north of 3th street to be modified to operate in the same
manner as those south of 4th Street.
The cost to investigate what changes are required and to provide a cost estimate for the work is $3,885. The
cost to prepare the design if work is approved for the contract is $2,862. The total cost for this work item is
$6,457.
Provide Power at Each Street Tree: The City desires to investigate, and if costs allow, include providing a
receptacle under the grate of each street tree to power lighting of the trees. The fee to investigate the cost of
this work is $1,091. The fee to provide the design for the street tree receptacles is $4,435. The total fee for this
work is $5,526.
Design Services during Construction
The City will be providing construction management during the project including inspection. City staff is
requesting a budget be set aside for the project designer to provide consultation during the construction
process. The project designers have key information regarding the design that can affect construction decisions.
Anticipated minimum effort in this regard is attendance at the pre-bid meeting, answering technical bid
inquiries, attendance at the pre-construction conference, technical submittal reviews and consultation as
requested by City staff during construction. It is requested that a budget allowance of $15,000 be provided for
this item with services to be provided on a as requested basis by City staff.

Budget Analysis
The total project budget is $2,592,299 and is composed of three funding elements: The Redevelopment Funds
($1,967,128), Water Enterprise Fund ($254,946) and Sewer Enterprise Fund ($370,225). This includes design,
contingencies, and construction management. It does not include any City administrative fee. The construction
portion of this budget is $2,044,931. The design cost, including amendment 1, equals a design percentage fee of
11.4 percent. Without the construction services portion of the amendment, the percentage is 10.6 percent. This
is well within range of design costs for similarly complex projects.
OPTIONS:
1. Review and consider the proposed addition of supplemental design services for the Downtown
Improvement Project Phase II and authorize the City Manager to sign Contract Amendment No. 1 with
Crawford and Associates, Inc. consistent with the Councils recommendations.
2. Request additional project information from City staff and/or the consulting project engineer.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Comments: Proposed increase to project design costs are well within planned contingencies for the project and
will not result in the need for additional monies from the General Fund. Proposed costs associated with the
Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds are not currently budgeted and will need to be adjusted as part of the midyear budget review.
SUGGESTED MOTIONS:
Move to authorize the City Manager to sign the Contract Amendment No. 1 for the Downtown Improvement
Project Phase II to include the proposed addition of supplemental design services consistent with the City
Councils recommendations.

PURPOSE OF REPORT:

Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is asked to introduce a proposed ordinance regarding the City Finance Director and set a public
hearing for January 19, 2016. The City Council is further asked to introduce a proposed ordinance regarding the
City Clerk and set a public hearing for January 19, 2016.
At the December 1, 2015 meeting, the City Council directed staff to reclassify the Administrative Services
Director position to include the duties of City Clerk and return with an ordinance reflecting the change from a
Council-appointed City Clerk to a City Manager hired City Clerk. This was requested to create efficiencies with
the existing staffing and save costs to the City in light of the recent retirement of the long-time City Clerk. The
City Attorney has prepared an ordinance for incorporation into the Lakeport Municipal Code that outlines the
statutory duties of the City Clerk and allows the City Manager to appoint this position.
While reviewing City Clerk statutory duties, it was determined that the financial duties outlined in GC 4080240805 were more consistent with the duties of the Finance Director. Cities will often transfer the financial
reporting duties of the City Clerk to the Finance Director. Staff has proposed such a transfer of duties in section
2.12.040; however, in order to accomplish the transfer, the powers and duties of the Finance Director must be
defined by ordinance. An additional ordinance has been prepared to outline such duties.

The Council could reject or amend the proposed ordinances.

PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to consider the bids received for the Fifth Street Restroom replacement and
authorize the City Manager to sign a purchase order for the one selected by Council.
At the September 15, 2015 Council meeting the City Council approved a revision to the Housing and Community
Development for Housing Related Parks Grant from a water pipeline project to a new restroom at the 5th Street
boat ramp. At the November 17, 2015 Council meeting direction was given to staff to issue a Request for
Proposal for competitive bids in the replacement of the Library Park Fifth Street restroom with a precast
concrete facility. The RFP was issued and two bids were received on December 17th, 2015.
Bid #1, CXT Concrete Buildings. This bid provided two models to choose from. Option 1 is for their Cortez model
which is smallest of the proposals but large enough to meet ADA standards for the Men and Womens access.
The price for the Cortez model bathroom is $61,104.64.
Option 2 is for CXTs Ozark 2 model which is larger than the Cortez model and as such can accommodate a urinal
in the mens room, and provides a larger maintenance area. The bid for the Ozark 2 is $89,325.10.
Bid #2, StructureCast High Performance Precast. This bid is for a Carson Double Wet model which is the floor
plan that was used as a sample for potential bids. This manufacture provides a thicker ceiling and floor and
meets all specification, but was the highest bid at $119,180.
The project cost was estimated to be $98,825. It was derived from a facility cost estimate of $80,000 and site
work of approximately $18,000.
OPTIONS:
If bid number one, option one (Cortez model) is selected the total project cost can be completed within the Park
Grant of $80,825.
If bid number one, option two (Ozark 2 model) is selected an estimated $20,000 of general fund money will
need to be appropriated for the project.
