Recommended Action/Motion:

recommendation

Hold the Noticed Public Hearing and either (1) deny the appeal and apply the name Lincoln Ridge Road for the private road and all parcels addressed therefrom, (2) uphold the appeal and retain the name Seaview Drive for the road and all parcels addressed therefrom, or (3) uphold the name Lincoln Ridge Road but assess new address assignments individually and direct staff to make changes at the discretion of the Board.

End

 

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

Adoption of Chapter 18.16 of the Mendocino County Code granting the Planning and Building Services Department authority over private road naming and addressing.  Chapter 18.16 was updated in December 2016 by Ordinance 4370.  On February 4th, 2020 the Board of Supervisors directed Planning staff to work with the Fire and EMS Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee to update and streamline the road naming process for public safety purposes, resulting in high priority given to road name requests submitted by EMS agencies.                     

 

Summary of Request

Charles "Sonny" and Sally Grigg, the owners of the Howard Creek Inn, have filed an appeal of the Zoning Administrator's approval of Lincoln Ridge Road.  The Howard Creek Inn is accessed via Lincoln Ridge Road/Seaview Drive, but has managed to retain an address of 40501 N. Highway 1 for many years.  The appellants assert that changing their address to Lincoln Ridge Road from the more recognizable Highway 1 would cause a financial impact to their commercial business, and would like to keep their deprecated address.

 

Please see attached memorandum for additional details.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

The Board may deny the appeal and direct staff to proceed with updating all addresses to Lincoln Ridge Road per Chapter 18.16.  Alternately, the Board may choose to evaluate the address for the Howard Creek Inn individually and allow the remainder of the road name process to proceed.
