Planning Commission Meeting Livestream 08/06/2026

The City of Encinitas Planning Commission held a meeting on August 6, 2026, where they reviewed a proposal for the Agave Birrieria restaurant to add an 898-square-foot outdoor dining area and obtain a Type 41 ABC license for on-site beer and wine sales. The commission discussed site details including parking sufficiency, outdoor area fencing, and ADA accessibility concerns related to the patio's path of travel for wheelchair users. Commissioners expressed general support for the project but requested the applicant work with staff to explore alternative ADA access solutions before approval. The commission voted to continue the item to allow further evaluation of ADA accommodations. Additionally, the commission approved their 2025 annual report and 2026-2027 work plan and agreed to place an inclusionary and affordable housing memorandum on a future agenda for further discussion and potential recommendation to the city council.
