Planning Commission Meeting

The City of Hollister Planning Commission held a meeting on April 23, 2026, focusing primarily on land development and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a two-year extension for the tentative map of the Kramer Commons subdivision, a residential development project within the North Chapel Road Master Plan area. The project, which includes smaller lots and affordable-by-design duplex units, was reviewed for compliance with the general plan and environmental impact requirements. The commission also considered a conditional use permit for Grocery Outlet to expand its offsite sale of alcoholic beverages to include distilled spirits, with conditions addressing security and community impact. The commission approved both items, including a motion to add a condition for a one-year review of the liquor sales impact. Additionally, the meeting covered updates on the city’s general plan and housing element, which were recently approved by the city council and will take effect soon.
