Board rescinds earlier resolution and advances first reading of Guenoc Valley development-agreement ordinance
Summary
The Lake County Board of Supervisors voted to rescind Resolution 2025-102 and approve the first reading of an ordinance adopting Development Agreement 24-01 for the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Plan.

The Lake County Board of Supervisors unanimously rescinded Resolution 2025-102 and approved the first reading of an ordinance to adopt Development Agreement 24-01 for the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Plan Development Project, moving the ordinance to a future meeting for final consideration.
The change corrects a procedure error from the board’s Aug. 26 action: the county’s zoning code requires development agreements be adopted by ordinance rather than by resolution, Community Development Director Maria Turner told the board. Turner said staff also updated the ordinance to include the amendment the board added in August—language now included as section 12.5 of the development agreement encouraging the developer to continue coordinating with the Kalloyomi Water District on purchase and operation of a portion of an off-site well site.
Turner said, “Staff recommends then that the board rescind Resolution 2025-102, which was the improper mechanism, and approve the first reading of the approval of the development agreement via ordinance.” She also confirmed staff would display and provide the amended development agreement with the Section 12.5 language on the meeting screen and in the signed documents.
Supervisors pressed staff to ensure the public record matched the board’s intent. Supervisor Sabatier requested a signed copy of the amended ordinance and asked staff to confirm a typographical error staff had identified: acreage for the Santa Clara property and a numerical reference to the number of homes (board members noted earlier references to 100 vs. 50 and asked staff to correct the draft where appropriate). Turner acknowledged the edits and said staff would correct the non‑substantive typographical items and provide the signed ordinance and development agreement reflecting the August amendment.
The board took two formal actions: first, a motion to rescind Resolution 2025-102; second, a motion for the first reading of the ordinance adopting Development Agreement 24-01 and to advance the ordinance to the next board meeting for possible adoption. Both motions passed with no recorded opposition.
Background: county staff said the original Aug. 26 package contained the development agreement the board had approved but used the wrong legal vehicle (a resolution) for finalizing a development agreement under the Lake County zoning code. The amended ordinance presented on Oct. 7 re‑states the board’s August approval, incorporates the previously approved amendment regarding the Kalloyomi Water District (Section 12.5), and fixes typographical errors staff identified in the draft.
Next steps: the ordinance will return to the board for a subsequent meeting for possible adoption; staff promised to circulate the signed and corrected ordinance and the development-agreement text to board members after the meeting.
Votes: The motions to rescind Resolution 2025-102 and to approve first reading of the ordinance carried unanimously.
