MS_2024-0002 (Winett)

The project involves a minor subdivision of a 0.58-acre parcel located southwest of central Hopland, California, into two lots: Lot 1 at 0.22 acres containing an existing single-family residence and Lot 2 at 0.36 acres, which remains undeveloped. The property is situated in a Suburban Residential (SR) zoning district, surrounded by similar residential uses, with a school bordering the eastern edge. The land is relatively flat with no existing vegetation, and both water and sewer utilities are accessible through the Hopland Public Utility District. A 60-foot-wide private easement, Ralph Bettcher Drive, runs along the northern boundary, with 30 feet of that easement within the subject parcel. The baseline physical conditions reflect current development and parcel configuration prior to the proposed subdivision, as required under CEQA Guidelines Section 15125. The applicant is seeking approval to formally divide the parcel without altering existing infrastructure or land use beyond the proposed lot creation. The project is formally designated as MS_2024-0002 (Winett) and was posted on July 24, 2026, under the jurisdiction of Mendocino County, California, with the place of performance located in ZIP code 95449. Primary point of contact is Marco Rodriguez, Planner I, reachable through the Mendocino County government email and phone, with Penelope Winett listed as an additional contact. Access to project details is available via the CEQA Net portal, and no set-aside or NAICS code applies as this is a local land use matter rather than a federal procurement. The subdivision request does not involve public funding or competitive bidding, and all actions are being managed under local planning regulations.
