The City of Clearlake has issued a Conditional Use Permit to authorize the operation of the Highlands Food Park, a commercial food park accommodating up to eight food truck vendors. This permit, designated as CUP 2025-04 with a corresponding categorical exemption CE 2025-07, is designed to allow temporary commercial food service operations on a designated property in Clearlake, California, with a zip code of 95422. The permit is subject to specific conditions to ensure compliance with local land use, public health, parking, noise, and environmental standards, and it reflects a categorical exemption from further environmental review under CEQA due to the nature and scale of the proposed use. The permit is managed through the City’s planning department, with Mark Roberts, Senior Planner, listed as the primary point of contact for regulatory and administrative inquiries, reachable via phone and email. Louis Iacovino, the property owner, is also identified as a key stakeholder in the project. The permit was posted on June 10, 2026, as part of a forecasted action, indicating the city’s intention to formally approve and implement the food park in the near term. All operations must adhere to local ordinances governing mobile food facilities and the designated site’s zoning requirements, with enforcement and ongoing oversight managed by the city’s planning and code enforcement divisions.
