The Architectural Review Committee of Discover Cathedral City held a regular meeting on June 17, 2026, primarily to review the architectural and landscaping plans for a proposed AutoZone Mega Hub auto parts store at the Canyon Plaza North Shopping Center. The project involves constructing a 31,600 square foot building with 23 new parking spaces and landscaping improvements, including new trees and shrubs. The committee discussed design elements such as building color, facade relief, and landscaping details, including recommendations to increase the size of shade trees for quicker growth and better screening. Public comments raised concerns about traffic, safety on Jones Road, and the impact on the nearby residential community. The committee ultimately approved the architectural plans and recommended the project for planning commission approval. Additionally, the meeting included acknowledgments of long-serving committee members concluding their service.
