COVID-19 Update: Until further notice, Planning Commission meetings will be conducted pursuant to the provisions of California Executive Order 29-20, which suspends certain requirements of the Ralph M.

In accordance with the Executive Order, there will be no members of the public participating in person at the Planning Commission Meetings. We are providing alternatives to in-person attendance for viewing and participating in the meetings.
In lieu of in-person attendance, members of the public may participate and provide comment via telephone, using the Planning Commission webform, email submission or via U.S. Mail of written materials, as follows:
