Planning Commission - 7/16/2026 - Agenda Item F1

The City of Oxnard Planning Commission meeting on July 16, 2026, included a discussion on agenda item F1 concerning a request for an ABC license type 70 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at the Tru Hotel located at 180 West Esplanade Drive. The project involves on-site alcohol sales and consumption within the hotel and pool areas, with proposed hours from midnight to 1:00 a.m. The site is within a general commercial plan development zone and has a below-average crime rate, with police support citing reduced DUI risks due to on-site alcohol availability. The project was found to be exempt from further environmental review under CEQA section 15301. Staff recommended approval of the planning and zoning permit with conditions, which was presented to the commission for consideration.
