Mendocino County planning commission approves series of boundary line adjustments, refers one parcel to Coastal Commission
Summary
The Mendocino County Planning Commission approved four local boundary line adjustments and referred a separate coastal parcel adjustment (2024-0030) to the Coastal Commission, with staff-recommended conditions; projects were described as categorically exempt and planning and transportation staff raised no objections.
The Mendocino County Planning Commission approved four boundary line adjustments and referred a fifth coastal case to the California Coastal Commission during a brief meeting session.
Staff introduced a referral to the Coastal Commission for boundary line adjustment 2024-0030, recommending approval with staff special conditions; the commission endorsed the referral and approved the recommendation by voice vote. The commission’s chair stated the item was “approved with standard and special conditions.”
The commission then took up case B20250021, continued from a prior hearing, involving owners Blake and Daisy Tallman and Oscar Steadman with agent Cliff Zimmerman. That proposal would transfer about 1.98 acres from Lot 2 to Lot 1, enlarging Lot 1 to 9.54 acres and reducing Lot 2 to 5.1 acres for properties listed at 32340 and 32350 Holquist Lane in Fort Bragg. Staff said the project is categorically exempt and planning and building had no objections; the commission approved the adjustment after a motion and second.
Case B20250023, brought by the Mendocino County Office of Education with agent Heather Ramlin, proposed transferring roughly 0.3 acre from Lot 2 to Lot 1, resulting in Lot 1 of about 2.23 acres and Lot 2 of about 1.96 acres at 2240 Old River Road near Ukiah. Staff planner Russ Ford noted the reconfiguration could “facilitate some EV chargers” by allowing one charger on each parcel; planning and transportation raised no objections and the commission approved the request.
Case B20250025, for Friends of Liberty LLC with agent Ron Franz, sought to adjust two existing lots at 1307 Masonite Road north of Ukiah, changing Lot 1 from 7.57 acres to 7.9 acres and Lot 2 from 11.67 acres to 11.34 acres. Planning reported no concerns and the commission approved the adjustment with standard conditions.
Case B20250024, involving owner Karen Sikora and applicants Greg and Tanya Musgrave, proposed reconfiguring three existing lots (APNs cited) so that one parcel would become about 23.51 acres and the merged remainder about 4.96 acres. Planning recommended adding voluntary-merger language as a special condition. County staff confirmed septic records matched their files. The commission approved the adjustment with staff conditions.
The commission recorded approvals by voice vote; specific tallies and named mover/second information were not included in the record provided. After completing the boundary line adjustment items, commissioners noted there were no minor subdivision cases on the agenda and adjourned the meeting.
What happens next: the Coastal Commission will consider the referred case (2024-0030) at its own hearing. The locally approved adjustments will be processed by county staff according to the standard conditions set by the commission.
