Collector's Permit

The applicant, Steve Navarro, is seeking a Minor Use Permit and a Collector's Permit for a project located at 5050 Lakeshore Blvd., Lakeport, California 95453. The request involves reducing the side property setback by 25 percent to 3.75 feet to accommodate the construction of a 576-square-foot carport and a 1,752-square-foot garage. These additions are intended to provide covered parking and enclosed vehicle storage while maintaining driveway access, resulting in a total accessory structure area of 5,548 square feet, which exceeds the standard 3,065 square foot limit. Managed by the Lake County Community Development Department and Assistant Planner Pablo Guerrero, the project was issued a Notice of Exemption on July 15, 2026. It qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15303(e) for the new construction of small structures and adheres to various Public Resources Code sections. The primary objective of this action is to obtain the necessary legal authorizations to proceed with the construction of the specified accessory structures.
