Planning & Design Commission 3/23/2023

The City of Sacramento Planning and Design Commission met on March 23, 2023. The commission unanimously approved the consent calendar, including the March 9 meeting minutes, and unanimously approved a conditional use permit for a delivery-only cannabis dispensary at 2122 X Street (P22-010). It also unanimously denied the appeal of the director’s decision on the proposed electric fence along Florin Road (DR22-127), leaving staff’s denial recommendation in place. Discussion weighed the applicant’s security concerns against pedestrian safety, aesthetics, and the city’s revitalization goals for the corridor; commissioners suggested exploring other security approaches with staff.

The commission also heard a presentation on a proposed 85-foot monopine telecommunications facility at 1610 Garden Highway, intended to address a T-Mobile coverage gap and allow future co-location. The transcript does not capture a final commission action on that item. In the director’s report, staff noted that the City Council had approved the 2023 Planning and Zoning Work Program previously recommended by the commission. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
