# Planning Commission Meeting - Friday September 24, 2026 - Meeting begins at 9:00 am

The County of Lake Planning Commission held a meeting on September 24, 2026, primarily addressing a zoning clearance appeal for a residential accessory storage shed. The commission reviewed the denial of the zoning clearance due to the shed's proposed placement in the front half of the lot, which violated local zoning ordinances. Staff recommended upholding the denial as the project did not meet all required findings for approval. The commission discussed alternative options such as applying for a variance or redesigning the structure as a garage or ADU, which have different locational allowances. The appeal was ultimately denied without prejudice, allowing the applicant to reapply. Additionally, the commission received updates on department staffing, the upcoming RFP for the county's housing element, and ongoing efforts to improve planning processes and training. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the mention of the upcoming housing element RFP indicates forthcoming procurement activity related to planning services.
