Planning Commission April 23, 2026

The City of Moreno Valley Planning Commission held a meeting on April 23, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on a conditional use permit and plot plan approval for a new 4,150 square foot car wash facility in District 3. The project includes vacuum stations, parking, landscaping, and noise mitigation measures such as a decorative block wall. The commission discussed community concerns about the proliferation of car washes in the city, water usage, noise, and job creation. Despite some opposition from public speakers, the commission approved the project with staff recommendations. Additionally, the commission discussed the potential for a moratorium on new car wash developments to manage growth and balance community needs. Staff also briefed the commission on upcoming agenda items related to mitigation measures for logistics warehouse facilities, truck route amendments, and general plan updates, which will require further public hearings and recommendations to the City Council. Commissioner Daryl Terrell announced his resignation, and the commission welcomed a new principal planner, Regine Kennedy.
