Planning Commission Regular Meeting - 10-19-2026 - City of Vallejo

The City of Vallejo Planning Commission’s regular meeting on October 19, 2026, focused on land-use approvals rather than purchasing or contracting; no procurement activity was identified. The Commission approved the Surf Thru Car Wash project, including a one-acre parcel split, a 5,109-square-foot car wash and related site improvements, finding it exempt from CEQA. The approval passed by a 5–2 vote. Commissioners discussed water use and recycling, noise, vehicle queuing and access, and concerns about the concentration of car washes; staff noted that the city has no zoning standard limiting the number or proximity of such facilities, and no moratorium was adopted.

The Commission also approved DXD Self Storage (PLN 25-0027), a four-story, approximately 103,000-square-foot climate-controlled facility on a combined 2.2-acre parcel, by a 5–1 vote. The approval includes a community-engagement process for proposed mural designs, with two mock-ups to return to the Commission before installation. The project also proposes landscaping, stormwater features, utility undergrounding, and a small-business storage discount. In departmental updates, staff reported a building-permit fee-reduction pilot for low-income homeowners, more than $800,000 in permit fees collected during September, and a forthcoming inclusionary housing ordinance item for City Council. No contract awards, bids, or city-funded purchasing decisions were reported.
