City of Norco - Planning Commission Meeting - May 13, 2026

The City of Norco Planning Commission held a meeting on May 13, 2026, where they reviewed and approved several accessory building use permits related to equestrian facilities. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of accessory building use permit 2024-15 for a 1,542 sq ft horse stable, subject to conditions addressing grading and drainage. They also approved accessory building use permit 2025-16 for a 4,800 sq ft barn with 12 horse stalls, including conditions for demolition of existing structures and clarifications that the facility is for personal recreational use only, not commercial. Additionally, the commission reviewed a general plan conformance determination for the Orange County Public Works Prado Dam Project Lower Norco Bluffs Maintenance Easement, confirming its consistency with the city's general plan and authorizing the community development director to sign related documents. The meeting included motions and unanimous votes to approve these permits and conformance findings, with staff noting ongoing coordination on water meter permitting processes for undeveloped lots. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting focused on land use approvals and compliance with city planning and zoning regulations.
