Council debates public hearing on illegal lot line change
The Lompoc City Council, in a lengthy session led by mayor pro tem Elinor Lefkowitz, tentatively set August 3 for a public hearing on an ordinance to permit creating a substandard lot to adjust a property line. The Balaam family home sits eight feet over the line, and the plan would shift the line 11 feet, yielding a 6,042 square foot lot below the 7,000 minimum. The measure would only affect this case, with the council weighing planning commission denial against input from all sides.
