Belwood Motel, DR 23-03

Description

Recirculated Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration. On April 16, 2024, Initial Study IS 23-10 was published and uploaded to the State Clearinghouse (SCH 2024050605). Corrections to the project name and permit type were made on May 21, 2024, and the 30-day review period began on May 21, 2024, and was scheduled to end on June 20, 2024. However, on June 10, 2024, staff received notification from the Lake County Code Enforcement Division regarding grading on the property. On June 14, 2024, the Lake County Grading and Stormwater Inspector opened an investigation, and a site visit was conducted on June 18, 2024. A Stop Work Order was posted on the site by the Lake County Stormwater and Grading Inspector on July 2, 2024, citing the Lake County Code Chapter 30-Grading Ordinance Sections 30-46.1 and 30-46.2, and in violation with Chapter 13, Article 1, Section 3.1 (e)(5). A Violation Clearance Post Corrective Action Plan Inspection was completed by the Grading and Inspector Stormwater on July 16, 2024. Additional information is provided in the Recirculated IS/MND. The proposed project includes construction and operation of a short-stay motel with six 800 sq. ft cabins, two units each, plus 11 parking spaces with one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) space (12 total), and a new trash enclosure. Cabins will be accessed from walking paths and the site would be enclosed on three sides with a 6-foot wooden fence. Access to the site would come from Loch Lomond Road. Ground-moving activities would include the following activities: preparing cabin pads, developing driveway and parking, pathways, and landscaping, digging post holes, and removing four ponderosa pine trees. There is an existing Olympic-sized swimming pool which has been leased out for many years which is not part of the proposed project. The proposed 6-foot fence will provide a safety barrier between the cabins and the pool. Other existing structures that are called out on the site plans as 'not part of project' include the Loch Lomond Market & Deli/ other businesses, and a significant historical cabin. The site is located in Loch Lomond, California.
