Planning Commission Meeting, May 20, 2026

The City of San Clemente Planning Commission held a regular meeting on May 20, 2026, where they reviewed and approved two conditional use permits. The first permit was for Mariners Church to occupy a 26,000 square foot commercial space at 55 Via Pico Plaza, with conditions addressing parking, traffic mitigation, and potential service adjustments to manage peak traffic impacts. The commission unanimously approved the permit following staff and applicant presentations and public comments. The second permit was for Pool RX to establish a commercial recreation use and offsite parking agreement at 1120 Via Callejon, including a rugby training academy and a takeout kitchen for employees. The commission discussed parking requirements, noise limits, and operational details before unanimously approving the permit. Both approvals are subject to final City Council confirmation. Additionally, staff promotions were announced, and ongoing planning projects and updates were briefly discussed.
