City of Norco - City Council Meeting - October 21, 2026

The City of Norco City Council meeting on October 21, 2026, included unanimous votes to adopt Resolution 2026-81 certifying the final program EIR and Resolution 2026-82 adopting the Norco 2050 General Plan update. The plan sets long-term direction for land use, transportation, infrastructure and facilities, development, and city investment, and links implementation to future budgeting and capital improvement planning. Staff said a subsequent zoning code update will implement the plan. Council discussion emphasized protecting Norco’s equestrian and agricultural character, supporting local businesses, and guiding future development. No new contracts, bids, or paid project awards were approved during the meeting.

The council also unanimously approved a pulled consent item for Heritage Room improvements proposed through the Lake Norconian Club Foundation and Lowe’s Heroes program. Display cases, painting, humidity-control equipment, an artifact safe, and landscaping are expected to be donated by Lowe’s at no cost to the city. Separately, a council member requested an update on the Cosmont agreement concerning surplus properties, including signage, appraisals, and the agreement’s expiration date; no spending decision was made on that matter. In closed session, the council voted 5–0 to direct the city attorney to initiate litigation, with details to be disclosed subject to applicable law.
