Planning Commission Meeting: July 13, 2026

The City of Dana Point Planning Commission held a meeting on July 13, 2026, primarily focused on zoning text amendments related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and second dwelling units. The commission reviewed staff reports and discussed updates to local ordinances to ensure compliance with evolving state laws and feedback from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Key procurement-related actions included the approval of zoning text amendment ZTA 26-0002, which clarified permitting processes for ADUs in public safety areas, and ZTA 26-0003, which codified existing standards for second dwelling units in the coastal zone consistent with the city's certified Local Coastal Program. Both amendments were recommended for City Council adoption following motions and unanimous votes by the commission. No new business, staff reports, or procurement contracts were discussed beyond these regulatory updates.
