Hayward Planning Commission Meeting June 11, 2026

The Hayward Planning Commission held a meeting on June 11, 2026, primarily focused on enforcement actions related to the city's tobacco retail license ordinance. Staff presented evidence and recommended revocation of tobacco retail licenses for six commercial establishments that had accumulated three or more violations within a five-year period, including sales of prohibited flavored tobacco products, concealed storage of illegal items, and licensing violations. The commission heard testimony from staff, retailers, and public health advocates, with several retailers either absent or represented by legal counsel. After deliberations, the commission voted to revoke the tobacco retail licenses for multiple retailers, citing ongoing non-compliance despite inspections, educational outreach, and opportunities to correct violations. The meeting also included discussions on procedural matters and announcements about upcoming meetings and commission recruitment. No new contracts, procurement actions, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
