October 28th, 2026 Regular Meeting of the Imperial Planning Commission

The Imperial Planning Commission’s regular meeting, identified in the title as October 28, 2026, approved the July 8, 2026 meeting minutes and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the Environmental Justice Element of the General Plan (Resolution PC 2026-08). The element was developed with assistance from Ascent Environmental and the Institute for Local Government, following public engagement. It identifies priorities including air quality, shade and tree canopy, park access, transit, housing, and community participation. Staff said the goals would guide future city work and development review; a zoning update is expected within about six months, and the element is expected to be reviewed again in roughly five years. No consultant contract or related spending approval was presented.
