Commissioner Training and Meeting Practices
The county's operating manual for how the board runs meetings is being rewritten for the first time since 2018. Changes could affect everything from how special meetings get called to how public comment and recusals are handled.
Cannabis Permit Revocations
A resident told the commission that several cannabis permits slated for revocation have been sitting unactioned for months. Staff confirmed one revocation has been initiated by the CDD director and will come before the commission before the end of the year, with others under assessment.
Kugelman Commercial Auto Repair Shop
A new 3,000-square-foot vehicle restoration and auto repair shop is coming to 15880 Kugelman Street in Lower Lake. Commissioners weighed fire access (a new hydrant will be required), drainage, tribal cultural resources and nearby sensitive areas before approving it with conditions.
Lake Coco Farms commercial cannabis cultivation permit
The applicant is appealing the Planning Commission's denial of a major use permit for Lake Coco Farms on Hendricks Road in Lakeport. The Board's decision will determine whether the operation can proceed, with the associated mitigated negative declaration also at issue.
