Airport Redevelopment Project

Airport Redevelopment Project

The Proposed Project would develop the 47.5-acre former airport site with healthcare facilities, multifamily housing, retail, restaurants, public open space in form of a park, plaza, and pedestrian routes on tree-lined streets, a cross-over to the future transit center at SR 53, and related parking on the new streets and adjacent parking lots. The Proposed Project would also include infrastructure improvements, including roads, utilities, sewer lines, water lines, storm water management, parking lots, streetlights, and landscaping. Active transportation improvements such as bus shelters/pullouts, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and multi-modal paths would also be provided. Water would be provided by the Highlands Water Company south of 18th Avenue and the Konocti County Water District north of 18th Avenue. Water may also be provided in part or whole by a new groundwater source developed by the City. Sewer service would be provided by the Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN). The Proposed Project would also include Design Standards to guide development and ensure aesthetic and functional consistency across the development area. Project phasing would be sequenced through and dependent on the City’s or future developer’s acquisition of adjacent properties as they become available. In order to develop the site, the Proposed Project would require a Zoning Map Amendment to add a Planned Development zoning overlay district to the site (ZMA 2024-01 Amendment) (see Figure 3, Proposed Zoning Map Amendment); a Planned Development approval (PD 2024-01); and the certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR 2024-01). The following uses are proposed as shown on Figures 4a-4c Proposed Site Plan (Overall, North, and South): ? Multi-family housing – Up to 250 new housing units ? Nonresidential Mixed Uses – Mix of hospital and medical offices (up to 140,000 square feet), retail, restaurants, bars, fast food drive-throughs: Up to 400,000 square feet ? Parking – 1,928 parking stalls ? Open space – 3.83 acres North-to-south mainline infrastructure would likely occur first within the main portion of the site to facilitate development of individual sites east and west of the central roadway. Following infrastructure installation, the project may be developed in any order; no phasing is proposed. Access to the Project site would be provided via Old Highway 53, the proposed 18th Avenue extension, and a new north/south road that bisects Airport Road and extends southward towards the junction of Old Highway 53 and SR 53. The Project would not take direct access from SR 53. Site Plan Clarifications/Exclusion Areas The site plan in Figures 4a-4c identifies a gas station, fast food, and other commercial development at south of the Proposed Project Site. This nearby property and potential commercial development is an independent, unrelated project, subject to its own CEQA review and not included as part of the Proposed Project or EIR. Nevertheless, the proposed structures for this nearby project have been shown to illustrate how it can fit into the overall Proposed Project. A small rectangular piece of land at the far south end of the site plan in Figure 4a and 4c will provide entry-way features, such as landscaping and signage for the Proposed Project and is part of this EIR and Proposed Project. Project Entitlements, Permits, and Approvals The principle discretionary permits and approvals for the Project would be granted by the City of Clearlake. The City will use information contained in the EIR during the decision-making process. Additional permits and approvals from other agencies may be necessary prior to the development of the Proposed Project. City of Clearlake The Proposed Project would require the following approvals from the City of Clearlake: • Planned Development approval (PD 2024-01) • Rezone approval (ZMA 2024-01) • Certification of Environmental Impact Report (EIR 2024-01) • Encroachment permits for work within City right of way • Building permit approval • Grading permit approval
