Planning Commission May 14, 2026

The City of Moreno Valley Planning Commission held a meeting on May 14, 2026, primarily addressing a conditional use permit request for a new McDonald's restaurant. The applicant requested a continuance of this item to the May 28, 2026 meeting, which the Commission approved by vote. The public expressed significant opposition to the McDonald's proposal, citing concerns about increased traffic, crime, homelessness, and negative impacts on existing local businesses. Additionally, the Commission reviewed and approved an amended conditional use permit for a multi-purpose building expansion at the Moreno Hills Seventh-day Adventist Church and a plot plan for a five-unit residential apartment building with two accessory dwelling units. The meeting also included discussions on community outreach and upcoming public hearings related to logistics use mitigation measures. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session.
