The site is located in Kelseyville and includes two parcels. Project activities would occur on the parcel with the single-family home and include hosting up to 96 events annually with a maximum of eight events per month. The parking area includes eight spaces, including one space for accessible parking. All reservations would be made in advance through ticketed sales to ensure a walk-in-free environment. Hours of operation would be from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with guest arrival at 5:00 p.m. and departures by 9:30 p.m. Events would take place indoors in an existing dedicated dining room. Each dinner would be fully staffed by the two owners of the property with no employees.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities, would be applied to the project as the existing structure would be used for the Special Event, Commercial. In addition, the project would not trigger any of the exceptions in Section 15300.2 based on the following: a) There could be no harm to federal, or state listed endangered or threatened animal or plant species as the only activities would be placing gravel on the parking area. Also, there would be no tree removals; b) There are no other major use permits for the same use currently proposed, previously approved, or anticipated in the foreseeable future near the project site. Therefore, no cumulative impacts would occur; c) There are no known unusual circumstances that would have a significant effect on the environment; d) According to the Caltrans List of Officially Designated County Scenic Highways, Lake County has no officially designated state highways; e) The State’s Envorstor database was checked and there are no hazardous waste sites on or adjacent to the project site; f) The project site is not on the California Historical Resources list or the County’s Office of Historical Preservation list and there are no other known historical resources present. The Lake County Community Development Department has determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
