Westminster Planning Commission Meeting | October 27, 2026

The City of Westminster Planning Commission meeting on October 27, 2026, addressed planning and public-notice matters; no procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified. Commissioners adopted a proclamation recognizing National Community Planning Month. A requested variance hearing was postponed after staff found that the required public-notice signs did not meet municipal code standards; staff said it could be scheduled for November 10 if corrected promptly, or November 24. The applicant questioned the delay, while the commission and city attorney said the notice requirements had to be met before the hearing could proceed.

For the Mandalay Town Center property at 10422 Town Center Drive, the applicant sought a variance to allow a fourth wall sign. Staff recommended denial, finding that two of the six variance criteria were not met, including concerns about consistency with the development’s master sign program and equitable treatment of other businesses. After a motion to deny failed, the commission approved the variance 4–3. Commissioners also discussed whether public speakers should be asked to provide location or their relationship to the city, and whether they received notice of a hearing; that discussion was postponed pending a staff summary and further review.
