The City of Upland Planning Commission held a meeting on August 27, 2026, which included approval of minutes from previous meetings and updates on council actions such as the ADU density bonus program. A significant agenda item was the approval of a variance related to a lot line adjustment at 710 and 720 Valadez Street, which was approved unanimously. The commission also discussed the Buffalo Grove specific plan project, a residential development proposal, and continued the public hearing to a future date due to unresolved sewer connection issues. The meeting featured a comprehensive State of the City presentation highlighting Upland's infrastructure improvements, including the Foothill Boulevard rehabilitation project, investments in public safety such as drone deployment and K9 program expansion, and economic development efforts supporting local businesses and downtown revitalization. The city reported financial management successes, including a pension management strategy saving $67 million over 20 years and securing over $12 million in one-time funding for capital projects. The meeting emphasized ongoing and planned capital improvement projects, community engagement, and public safety initiatives, but did not include specific contract awards or procurement decisions.
