City Council September 1, 2026

The City Council of Moreno Valley held a meeting on September 1, 2026, which included a closed session and a regular session. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) for a new three-story self-storage facility by Public Storage, located in a mixed-use zone. The project, which had been denied by the Planning Commission, was appealed and ultimately approved by the City Council after extensive presentations and public comments. The applicant also offered a voluntary community benefit donation of $250,000 to the Moreno Valley Community Foundation, which the council considered separately but did not approve at that time. Additionally, the council approved a $60,000 mayor and city council sponsorship program to support community organizations and events, with funding already included in the budget. The council also discussed upcoming study sessions on data centers and industrial uses, and received updates on regional commission activities and transit agency contract awards, including a contract to RO Bus Sales for 10 low-floor vans. No other contract awards or RFPs were detailed in the meeting. The council emphasized the importance of public input in future land use decisions and community safety initiatives.
