Telecommunications, Article 41 Code Amendment CA 6-24/25-02Plumas County is implementing a code amendment to Title 9 Planning and Zoning, Chapter 2, Article 41, specifically targeting telecommunications facilities within the Timberland Production Zone (TPZ). The primary changes include removing the previous exemption for telecommunications facilities in the TPZ and establishing new permitting requirements. Under these updates, new towers or poles in the TPZ will now require a special use permit, while co-location, building-mounted, and pole-mounted facilities will be subject to a zoning clearance certificate. Additionally, the amendment increases the noticing distances for public hearings to adjacent property owners and integrates the TPZ zoning district into existing facility design standards for consistency. This regulatory update, identified as CA 6-24/25-02, is being managed by the Planning Director in Quincy, California. A California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption has been filed, asserting that these amendments to the telecommunications code have no significant environmental effect.

Adoption of Resolution No. 26-11, Application to LAFCO for Annexation of Highland Court PropertiesThe Santa Fe Irrigation District is initiating an administrative process to amend its sphere of influence and formally annex six residential properties located at 15808, 15818, 15828, 15830, 15834, and 15838 Highland Court in Solana Beach, California. This action, formalized through the adoption of Resolution No. 26-11, seeks approval from the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to legally expand the district's service boundaries. Because the district already provides water service to these properties, the annexation will not result in any new or additional connections, and any future connections will require district approval. The project is governed by the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under guidelines 15320 and 15378(b)(5), as it is an organizational activity with no significant environmental impact. Managed by General Manager Albert Lau, the process involves submitting a Notice of Exemption to the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse. This is an administrative jurisdictional action rather than a commercial procurement, and as such, there are no associated contract values, federal acquisition regulations, or procurement evaluation factors.
