Hayward Planning Commission Meeting April 23, 2026

The Hayward Planning Commission held a meeting on April 23, 2026, primarily to consider a conditional use permit (CUP) application for Mannheim, an automobile auction company, to operate an outdoor automobile storage yard with related fleet support activities on a 6.7-acre industrial property at 2348 Industrial Parkway West. The proposal includes vehicle storage, minor automotive repairs, and vehicle preparation for auction. The commission reviewed the site details, environmental considerations such as flood zone runoff management, and operational plans including electric vehicle charging. After public comment in support of the project and a discussion of operational and environmental safeguards, the commission voted to approve the CUP. The meeting also included updates on upcoming transit-oriented development open houses and affordable housing events, as well as a recognition of the outgoing director. No other procurement or contracting actions were taken during this meeting.
