October 7, 2026 Planning Commission Meeting

The City of Port Orchard Planning Commission met on October 7, 2026. The main discussion was a draft set of land-use code amendments for commercial drone delivery. The proposed rules address facility siting and screening, safety, privacy, noise, operational limits, and mitigation measures; as drafted, facilities would require a conditional use permit. Commissioners discussed whether drone delivery should instead be a permitted use, whether operating hours should be more limited, and how privacy protections and flight paths would work. Staff said the draft was based on Redmond’s interim ordinance and would be refined following commissioner feedback. The commission agreed to continue discussion in November and move the anticipated public hearing to December. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified. The agenda was approved, and the minutes discussion included a request to confirm the date shown in the meeting materials against the published record.
