Planning Commission Meeting 9/03/2026

The City of Encinitas Planning Commission held a meeting on September 3, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the purchase of property at 2883 Lone Jack Road for a new fire station. The commission determined the acquisition consistent with the general plan and noted future development would require additional permits and environmental review. The meeting also covered several development projects: approval of a two-story duplex with a basement and attached garages in the Old Encinitas district, a two-unit residential development with accessory dwelling units near the Encinitas Station, and a single-family residence with an accessory dwelling unit on a steep slope lot. Each project involved design review and coastal development permits, with discussions on setbacks, environmental impacts, parking, and neighborhood concerns. The commission approved all projects unanimously. Additionally, updates on the city’s work plan and inclusionary housing resolution were discussed, with plans for further code review later in the year.
