Lompoc approves land division for homes despite appeal
Lompoc Planning Commission granted a home use permit and approved a land split for new residences on Walnut Avenue and A Street but rejected developer William Johnson in an appeal over subdivision costs. The plan keeps Johnson’s non conforming house on a separate parcel, while the rest of the property develops under commercial industrial zoning. Johnson contends the ruling is arbitrary and costly. The panel also approved a home business telephone for Michael Lippincott and a 4.78 acre division for 14 single family homes between Olive Hickory avenues and Third Street Bluff Drive, plus a development plan for Photo Shak at 1400 North H Street.
