Zoning Administrator 10/8/2026

Mendocino County Zoning Administrator hearing on October 8, 2026: The administrator considered case AP 2026-00001, an administrative permit for Steven Alvarez to install 14 storage containers totaling approximately 3,360 square feet at 17,500 Boonville Road. The containers would replace a previously approved but unbuilt 6,000-square-foot carport. The administrator found the project categorically exempt under CEQA Class 3 and approved it subject to the staff report’s findings and conditions. Those include contacting the Hopland Band of Pomo Indians to coordinate whether tribal monitoring is needed during ground-disturbing work, including container anchoring, along with other environmental and archaeological safeguards. The applicant was advised to coordinate with the project planner and observe the appeal period before beginning work. No public comments were received. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
