Planning and Transportation Commission 4.20.2026 Regular Meeting

The City of San Carlos Planning and Transportation Commission held a regular meeting on April 20, 2026, primarily to review and approve a development project at 930 and 940 Commercial Street. The project involves constructing a 48,370 square foot automotive repair and storage facility, including design review, protected tree removal, grading permits, and a transportation demand management plan aimed at reducing trips by 20%. The commission discussed site design, landscaping, flood elevation compliance, and public access easements related to a multi-use pathway. Public comments strongly supported the project for its local job creation and apprenticeship opportunities. The commission approved the project with conditions, noting the action is final unless appealed to the city council within 10 days. Additionally, updates were provided on the Northeast Area Specific Plan and upcoming planning commissioner training on inclusionary housing.
