Lassen County Planning Commission October 6, 2026

The Lassen County Planning Commission meeting on October 6, 2026, included a staff update that the Board of Supervisors had adopted the county budget with a hiring freeze and all vacant positions unfunded. The department’s budget was reduced by about $600,000 from its initial request. Staff also reported upcoming work on a groundwater-basin periodic evaluation and annual report associated with a grant, noting that the work would be challenging with reduced staffing. No procurement activity, contract awards, or vendor selections were identified.

The commission approved the September 1 meeting minutes and unanimously approved Use Permit 2026-00008 (Resolution 101-26), allowing an existing permitted residence to remain on the property as a second residence. Staff said the proposal was exempt from CEQA under Section 15303; no public comments were received.
