April 22, 2026 Planning Commission

The Centerville Planning Commission held a meeting on April 22, 2026, primarily focused on a waiver of strict compliance and a site plan amendment related to the Pastures Phase Three development in the Shorelands Commerce Park. The discussion centered on the applicant's request to modify landscaping requirements, including replacing approved plantings with gravel and adding outdoor storage areas. Staff recommended approval with conditions, but commissioners expressed concerns about the appropriateness of granting a waiver given that the original site plan conditions were not met and the landscaping plan appeared outdated. Commissioners emphasized the need for a revised landscaping plan that complies with current codes and properly addresses outdoor storage and screening. The commission unanimously denied the waiver request, citing failure to meet required findings and concerns about setting precedent. The related site plan amendment was tabled to allow the applicant to work with staff on revisions addressing landscaping, outdoor storage, parking, and encroachment issues. The meeting also included a brief director's report on sidewalk deferral approval and approval of prior meeting minutes.
