City plans to reduce parcels to aid small downtown lots
Lompoc Planning Commission sets a November 10 public hearing for a zoning amendment cutting building parcel width from 65 to 50 feet in the central area near A and O Streets College Willow Avenues and Pine College. The measure aims to spur inexpensive downtown housing for seniors and low income residents by enabling division of existing lots and new development. The panel also forwards the public safety element of the general plan to council and considers fire station needs along with a home electrical service business permit for Richard Lee Armero at 1408 E North Ave.
