Planning Commission Meeting - 11 August 2026

The City of La Center Planning Commission meeting, identified in the title as August 11, 2026 (metadata timestamp: August 13), considered two land-use matters. The commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve an MDR-16 code revision changing the threshold for required housing-type mixes from projects of 10 acres or more to projects of 20 acres or more. Discussion covered potential effects on housing variety and affordability, and staff noted only a few currently relevant undeveloped areas. A PLS Engineering representative supported the revision. The commission also voted to recommend that the City Council annex the 10.1-acre Mirror property, currently in Clark County, into La Center; the property would be zoned LDR 7.5 with its Urban Holding 10 overlay retained until development and urban services are addressed.

Other discussion included future Junction-area planning, including warehousing, employment, building heights, and preserving opportunities for higher-density housing; these topics were deferred for further consideration. The commission also heard about a grant program for senior transportation and support services and a request for sponsorship help for the Christmas Festival. No procurement activity, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending approvals were identified.
