Collector's Permit

The applicant seeks approval to construct a 1,752-square-foot garage and a 576-square-foot carport at 5050 Lakeshore Blvd., Lakeport, California, which together exceed the local limit of 3,065 square feet for accessory structures, requiring a Collector’s Permit. To accommodate this development, a Minor Use Permit is requested to reduce the side property setback from the standard requirement to 3.75 feet, enabling the structures to be built while preserving driveway access. The total combined footprint of the accessory buildings reaches 5,548 square feet. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, specifically Title 14, Section 15303(e), which allows for new construction of small structures with negligible environmental impact. The applicant must submit a certified exemption finding and indicate whether a Notice of Exemption has been filed with Lake County. The application was submitted on July 15, 2026, and is being processed by the Lake County Community Development Department, with Pablo Guerrero, Assistant Planner, serving as the primary point of contact. There are no federal contract elements involved; the process is governed entirely by state and local land use regulations, and no procurement, pricing, payment, delivery, or federal compliance clauses are applicable.
